Not sure how to feel about this one. If he leaves I’d rather they promote from within
Maybe Gorton gets a promotion and Drury gets more responsibility?

It's all so tiresome
This not new news.
Brooks wrote about Sather remaining in his position through this season. Sather is not staying around forever. He will be 76 this September.

Sather wasn't involved in the decision making process as president. Gorton runs the hockey team.
This has been in the works for a while. McKenzie acts like he is breaking news. Please.

Not news, but not necessarily something I am comfortable with at this time.
Sather gets what the Rangers are trying to do here. Don’t think for a minute he wasn’t instrumental in getting buy-in to this process.
Depending on who comes in, this not necessarily their baby and there’s a chance they have their own timetable and vision.
Obviously all of this is just speculation, but it is worth remembering.

Sather doesn’t scout young players (hasn’t for years) but you can be damn sure he had input on trades and free agent signings.

If it's indeed within the organization, I would think Jim Schoenfeld or Adam Graves is his replacement. Long shot chance for Gordie Clark.
This is also an uneducated guess....

lol this is an odd response. this is definitely news. it is time, but very worried how Dolan is going to work with new president. he seems to have the utmost respect for slats and leaves him alone, unlike the Knicks.

I accept, but I would probably still post here tbh.
Also, I'm of the mind that Sather has had his role in name only for some time, so I'm not surprised.

I think most people might be surprised to learn how active Sather actually is.
While he’s not necessarily in the day-to-day business, he’s regularly involved in the personnel meetings, planning meetings, etc. He asks questions, will definitely give his opinion on things, and serves as the conduit to Dolan.
He’s more or less hands-off, but he’s not a silent partner by any stretch.

His ability to post a blurb then extrapolate the exact opposite point it makes is second to none.

Possibly
Would have to think with whatever new arrangement they give Drury more power though. Put up or shut up time with him.
They didn’t allow him to interview for that GM job in the summer, and with him being the GM for the US team coming up, he’ll be in demand
I expect an internal promotion regardless.
Very much doubt that they'll bring in someone from the outside who could potentially rock the boat but it is Dolan so who knows.

I doubt they’ll promote him over Gorton. That would be awkward on a number of levels and Drury hasn’t necessarily built up that kind of cache in his career to this point.
Not sure Graves is that guy either.
From an internal standpoint, I think Gorton has good odds.
I also wouldn’t totally rule out Schoenfeld as a candidate either.

I guess, but they just gave him control of Hartford recently though (past year or so), no?

One of the THN guys had a long interview with Gorton for a whole big thing about their rebuild and according to Gorton the decision to rebuild was reached by meeting with Sather and Dolan multiple times throughout last season where they’d sit down and go “do we have the pieces it takes to win?” And every time they all came up with a “no.” So while not an every day decision maker, he (and Dolan for that matter) are part of setting the course still
