The terms are still sketchy but several people have recited those numbers as well.

I’m struggling with the rumors of giving a new coach with no NHL head coaching experience a 5 year deal. But maybe that’s what it needed to be to get him to leave BU. #NYR #DavidQuinn

The #NYR lost out on Montgomery because they didn’t have a clear plan (rebuild or retool). Quinn likely balked too early on. Possible NYR gave Quinn more insight/input this time around? We’ll see.
