News Article: Drury signs multi-year extension

Yes this is a serious post. Explain yourself. What moves did he make that were bad when announced?

Hindsight is 20/20. I already said Buchnevich. What rentals were a failure? Tarasenko? Mikkola? Copp? Vatrano? Motte? Braun? Kane was clearly a byproduct of Dolan, he had moved on to other moves already.

We know his bad moves. Buch, Nemeth, Goodrow (and everyone said he was 3 and done, and that happened). Tell me what other moves shouldn't have been done. The Mika extension? They lost on Eichel and where would you find a guy that was coming off a 90pt season at center?

All everyone bitched about all offseason was figure out whatever you need to do to get rid of Trouba and Goodrow, and that exactly what he wanted to do! He did the dirty work of getting Goodrow done and tried with Trouba until his agent stepped in. Everyone wanted Laf extended after the postseason, he did that too.

Please explain what moves make Drury ineligible to be the GM of this team. I've mentioned 3 bad moves. That does not disqualify him.

Did you just do your best Drury impression by trying to make a point but inadvertently strengthening the opposing side?

The Rangers very rarely make announcements regarding contract extensions for executives or staff members. It’s close to never.

So Wednesday’s late day announcement from Garden CEO Jim Dolan of Chris Drury’s “multi-year” extension as president and GM can certainly be interpreted as a firm message to the players as to who is in charge in the wake of Monday’s exit day meetings and discourse.

It also sends a message that the hierarchy recognizes that rebuilding the Rangers into Cup contention is not necessarily a quick-fix scenario. There has been instability behind the bench with each of the last two coaches lasting only two seasons but extending Drury creates stability in the front office.
 
The next year and a half is going to be shit. We have no first rounder in a year we missed the playoffs. If we should win the lottery, that's good, right? Wrong. Then we spend all next season butt naked while the Penguins root for us to finish in the lottery again.

I am really hoping that this group looks at themselves and then the rosters of the true bottom feeders out there and realizes that they should not be in that group, then actually does something about it.

Kreider needs to shut up about the injuries. It's funny they only started getting talked about once his name started popping up in trade rumors. If you're hurt, go the F away until you're better. And shame on this coaching/training staff for allowing the guy to go out there so badly compromised all year if it's true. Now you not only didn't get jack out of the player this year, you decimated his trade value because everyone thinks he's shot.

Mika better come to camp in the best shape of his life. You have a kid now. Great. Shut the F up and get to work. Most of the world has kids. If you can't hack it, get a Nanny. Get two. You have 7 years left to worry about being a pro athlete and the rest of your life to be anything else.

KAM, for Christ's sake watch some film of good defensive defensemen and then watch yourself. See any differences in your play? If you can't spot them, get yourself a realtor and a moving company. Your time has come and fortunately, there's probably a few GM's who don't keep up with current events and still think you're untouchable. Maybe Drury can catch one of them on the phone a couple scotches deep and make something happen.

@Machinehead It’s time to storm the cap…I mean MSG and give James Dolan a piece of our mind.

I understand there are mixed feelings about this move. I don't know if it was the right move or not but I do think this will lead to player changes (for good or bad). A new guy would be more likely to want a year to evaluate some players himself. At least Drury has seen these guys in the last year up close so he can't say he needs to see anymore before making any moves.
