So we know that Chris Drury has spoken to Peter Laviolette, Spencer Carbery, Jay Leach, Mike Babcock and either interviewed John Hynes within the last 24 hours or will do so shortly as the Rangers’ president-GM conducts this coaching search that is its fourth week. Kris Knoblauch might have been invited in for a conversation.

But, The Post has learned on good authority, Drury has not spoken to Patrick Roy, who has coached his QMJHL champion Quebec Remparts to Sunday’s final of the Memorial Cup against either Kamloops, Peterborough or Seattle.

Perhaps Drury is waiting for the conclusion of that tournament to schedule an interview with Roy, his teammate in Colorado for four years that included the 2001 Stanley Cup championship.

That would be the only logical explanation for why the Blueshirts have not yet reached out to Roy after dog-paddling for weeks in this shallow pool of candidates.

Unless, that is, Drury believes that Roy has too large of a personality and is unsure of his ability to work with the Hall of Fame goaltender in light of Roy’s clashes over personnel decisions and lines of responsibility with general manager Joe Sakic, also a one-time teammate and friend, during his three years behind the Colorado bench from 2013-16.

That was when Roy had the dual title of head coach and vice president of hockey operations. He won the Adams as coach of the year in leading the Avalanche to first place in his first season but then missed the playoffs the following two years before resigning about a month ahead of training camp in 2016.

That did not go over well in the NHL community. But it was seven years ago. His tenure began a decade ago. The statute of limitations surely applies here. If Drury lays out the ground rules, if he makes it clear that the Rangers are seeking a coach only, I doubt that Roy’s hearing would be impeded by the four championship rings in his ears.

Would this be a risk? Maybe, but why would this represent a bigger risk than Laviolette, whose last tour in Washington was a colossal disappointment?

Why would this represent a bigger risk than Hynes, who has never won a playoff round after eight full years behind NHL benches in New Jersey and Nashville?

The Rangers are in need of a coach who will instill structure to the group while being able to maximize the team’s offensive creativity. Roy has brought structure to the Remparts.

The Rangers are in need of a coach who will make it his business to get the most out of their kids, and that starts with Alexis Lafreniere. Roy has been coaching teenagers for last the last five years and 13 years overall in two separate stints with Quebec in which he has also been GM.

And the button-down, business-like Rangers are also in need of a coach with motivational skills and passion. They lacked a forecheck, they lacked a way to break out against the Devils, but equally as important, they lacked a pulse. They flatlined in Games 4, 5 and 7.

Mika Zibanejad is quiet. So is Adam Fox. Artemi Panarin is quiet. Chris Kreider is introspective. Jacob Trouba’s helmet toss was an exception. There is little rah-rah in the room. There is no one to emotionally take charge. That doesn’t make them bad people, bad players or bad leaders but that is not in their nature. It was not in Gallant’s nature, either.

It is, however, in the nature of Patrick Roy.

The Rangers seem to be tilting safe, here. This is a win-now job, probably too big and pressurized for an NHL novice. This is likely to become the hire that defines Drury’s tenure in New York. Safe seems to be the play.

But no job is too big for Roy.

Noted philosopher John Tortorella once observed, “Safe is death.” The Norwegian warbler Morten Harket sang, “It’s no better to be safe than sorry.”

The Memorial Cup ends Sunday.

The Rangers should be interviewing Roy on Monday.
