Steve Zipay at Blue Notes has been told by two people familiar with the situation that John Tortorella has reached a multi-year agreement to succeed Tom Renney as head coach of the Rangers.
One snag is that Tortorella has time remaining on his contract with the Lightning, who fired him last June, and they want compensation. Apparently the league is helping to broker a deal.
Tortorella coached the Rangers for four games in 1999 and coached the Tampa Bay Lighting from 2001-2008 including winning the Jack Adams Trophy as well as the Stanley Cup.

It should be noted that the profane exchange in this clip was between Larry Brooks of the Post and John Tortorella in 2007. So at a minimum, post game press conferences will be more fun.
