He coaches an offensive style. Even this year's awful Rangers roster has sixteen more goals in one less game.
I don't think he's the best choice but he could get this roster into the top 5-10 in offensive categories.

Ruff brings a lot of experience, but also coaches a more structured variant of Hartley hockey which has been proven to work with this core group. The 2016 Stars won their division and were a game 7 goaltending collapse away from the WCF. He's not perfect but at present he is the coach I want. The fit is there.
