12:10 PM: On The Jeff Marek Show, Elliotte Friedman was asked about the Rangers coaching search and said “you know…all I can tell you is that there seems to be a feeling at the combine, and I want to stress this is a feeling, it’s pure gossip, that people there think Hynes has a great shot at it. I don’t know that to be true, but I’m just telling you…doing the old Doug Maclean: I’m not saying it’s true, I’m just telling you what I heard. The one thing that I think is pretty clear is that Drury is wrestling with this. I do believe they had another in-person interview with Hynes this week, I don’t know if that is the first time he’s met with him in person or the second, but I heard they had an in-person interview with Hynes this week and so that doesn’t surprise me then that maybe the timeline got pushed back a bit. Like I said, people at the combine are saying that they think it’s Hynes, but there is absolutely no proof of that and I wouldn’t want that labeled as any kind of report.”
