John Hynes will be in search of a new job this offseason after being fired as head coach of the Nashville Predators on Tuesday, but he will reportedly be in the mix for another franchise's head coaching search.

According to The Athletic's Arthur Staple, Hynes is among the candidates being considered by the New York Rangers.

The Rangers are seeking a replacement for Gerard Gallant, who mutually agreed to part ways with the team this month after being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the rival New Jersey Devils in seven games. New York went 99-46-19 in two seasons under Gallant, placing third in the Metropolitan Division this year with a record of 47-22-13.
