It's all so tiresome
He will make his glorious return in game 1 of the playoffs and lead us to the cup.

NY Rangers = America's Team
Not for nothing, but Drury does love his North Americans. Are Nemeth, Chmelar and Vaisanen the only non-American players that Drury has acquired?

He comes from a Russian military family. I doubt we ever see him in a Rangers uniform or in the NHL for several years.

I give Drury a B for this deadline.
He spent a lot of mid-level assets. A lot. I hate that he not only had to give up a prospect on top of the two seconds, but he had to attach a condition to the second.
But if this was the price of appeasing the owner, he managed to navigate through it without spending a single prime asset on a rental. Which is what I feared.
On top of that, in a vacuum I like the Vatrano deal and while he clearly overpayed for Copp by including both Barron AND the condition, I like I like Copp the player.
Team should be fun. That condition should really have been if they make the Stanley Cup Finals it turns to a first, though.

As an aside, this spending spree better be a result of the "we have unlimited cap space," obsession, because you cannot be parting with 5 draft picks and a prospect every deadline. Those middle round picks are needed for your system even if they don't become NHLers.

Rangers can afford to be somewhat wasteful with draft picks considering they're historically one of the favored destinations for college FAs.

Good news is that we test him out with Artemi and see how he clicks. Decide between him and Strome in the off season. I am not sure if he's the ideal 2C, but with Artemi who the hell knows.

It unquestionably is.
But again, I will survive if they re-sign him and it prevented us from doing something even crazier.

People choose their fields, doesn't mean they agree with what course of action leadership decides to take. His family is probably pushing him back to North America. I spent a few of my 20 years on foreign soil, would be the last place I would want to send any of my children. Nobody likes war (even Putin), especially if you don't have a choice in the matter. The Russian people don't have a say, neither does any Russian military member outside of leadership's close circle...Very sad for Eastern Europeans as a whole...

If they like their ELC guys in Hartford for example and plan to sign some of them to second deals OR if you want some AHL vets you run out of contract slots at some point. I'd imagine its monetizing some of that.

I'd give Drury a B+/A. I don't think we gave much up. We have a whole host of kids coming up the pipeline. So many in fact, that I almost feel like they weren't used enough to bargain with. I wouldn't have gone batshit and traded everything away, but I'm shocked some of the more fringe prospects we already know didn't get moved.

An underrated part of this is Copp is very sizable internal competition staring Strome right in the face, competing for his dollars and minutes. Might spark some give-a-f*** from him.
