I don't understand how Drury, a guy (correctly or not) labeled as a "winner" throughout his career, who saw what a winning environment looked like in COL, who saw what true leadership looked like under Sakic, Bourque, Foote, Blake, Forsberg, etc., who saw how a great GM builds a culture under Lacroix, how he could not understand/ignore all of that and just destroy all the good will and cultural elements of this organization...it's mind blowing.
He backstabbed and politic-ed to get the job and it's pretty clear his personality rubs a lot of guys the wrong way, players and management, and a lot of guys can't stand him. He's terrible at the job.

100%. I'm still unsure of how much of ^ is him just being an idiot vs. him being extremely calculating and sucking up to Dolan to get ahead.
 
It doesn't work like that. We still owe Pittsburgh a 1st regardless. Vancouver traded the rights to the pick for Marcus Pettersson. The Rangers can decide up to 48 hours before the draft whether they're keeping the pick or not.

We can't just trade it and not owe Pittsburgh anything. We'd still owe Pittsburgh the 2026 1st if we deal the 2025 1st that we keep.

Watch us defer the pick and win the lottery and we gift wrap Crosby's replacement in Gavin McKenna to Pittsburgh. I think I'll go be a Sharks fan if that comes to pass.
Thanks for clarifying. I thought the obligation / optionality was attached to the pick rather than to the organization. That does raise the question, though, what if we trade both picks? Or are we required to hold at least one non-conditional first rounder at all times through the 2026 Entry Draft?
 
Exactly, their practices are BS. No intensity, just end to end hockey and they think they are good. The SJ game is how they practice.
 
Fox's puck retrieval game is non existant at this time.

Always has to give the puck in a reverse or quick up because he has no wheels.

Meanwhile the other topd in the game turn that retireval into a good rush up the ice.
