Newly hired New York Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan made communication his No. 1 priority upon arrival. Sullivan revealed during his introductory press conference on Thursday that he has already spoken directly to every player on the roster, making that his first act as the leader of the Rangers' bench.

For Mike Sullivan, the latest coach of the New York Rangers, there will be many priorities in taking over a team that missed the playoffs a season after winning the Presidents' Trophy. Foremost will be communication.

Rangers coach Mike Sullivan spoke to the media for the first time, and he is already being bashed for coming across too similar to former coach Peter Laviolette.
