[Hire Sather]

Two good Rangers.

 

[RangerBoy]

Eminger did some scouting work last season. Maybe the Rangers like what they saw & hired him full time.

 

[Lion Hound]

Love both of those moves...Miss Jed Ortmeyer.

 

[Mikos87]

Love Jed, that was one guy that gave everything he had every shift.

Hope he brings guys that play like that.

According to Herman, Greeley is not on the Rangers front office staff site anymore

Which would be unfortunate if he left

 

[Levitate]

Who is/was Greeley?

Isn't Prentiss the guy a lot of players would train under during the offseason

He basically works with every tri-state NHLer under the sun. Kreider usually goes every year, and Buchnevich went last year.

 

[Mandar]

as long as it isn't the JOrts of posting infamy..........

Greeley is/was the assistant director of player personnel. Apparently he was key in signing Vesey and the teams ability to sign NCAA free agents

Also Shattenkirk trains with Prentiss so Shatty to Rangers confirmed

 

[Thirty One]

Primetime Emmy is back!

 

[nevesis]

Getting Ben Prentiss is HUGE for this team. Guy is a local legend over here...

Maybe Jorts the poster will come back? He had the best trade proposals....

 

[RangerBoy]

Greeley still has the Rangers listed as his employer https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-greeley-36014a29

What does the "Director of Player Development" do? I think Drury had that title for a year or so, right? And if i remember correctly he did scouting trips with Clarke to Russia to look at Buch.
So he's like a link between management and scouting? Is that a decent description?

 

[Kaapodonna]

Should add Ben Prentiss to the thread title to.

 

[Levitate]

Jed should be telling all the prospects "I made the NHL because I worked harder than everyone else so if I can do it so can you"

 

[I Eat Crow]

I love all three of these additions. Gets some new, fresh, young blood in the front office. The on ice personnel will hopefully follow suit.

 

[Irishguy42]

I wonder if there will be a conference call today with Gorton about these hirings.

 

[Bluenote13]

Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about....

 

[offdacrossbar]

but im still here.....

Typically the director of player development is focused on the players' overall well-being. Personal finances, mental health, relationships, public relations, and post-hockey careers.

Jed should be telling all the prospects "I made the NHL because I worked harder than everyone else so if I can do it so can you"

This is exactly why I love this move.

 

[Mac n Gs]

The good ol' Woywitka-Eminger pairing. What a time.

I really like the hiring of Prentiss too

 

[Crease]

Prentiss is a good get. Since its a consulting gig, I am wondering if he's simultaneously working with other NHL teams.
