[CristianoRonaldo]

He's doing a great job...

 

[zizbuka]

As a sometimes Flyers fan, I applaud this decision...........

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Just bizarre

 

[thebeernerd]

But why?

Dolan’s guy.

 

[MoneyManny]

Weird timing.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Yikes.

 

[Ezpz]

Good news for everyone else.

 

[unicornpig]

sometimes results dont matter and kissing your bosses ass does.

Vote of confidence? All I want to know is: Are the Rangers more or less likely to give up the 2025 1st to Pittsburgh?

My assumption up to now was that Drury would keep and maybe even trade the 2025 pick to try to improve the roster quicker and save his job, assuming that if they did crash and burn next season and end up in the McKenna lottery, he wouldn't be around long enough to make pick anyway. This maybe changes things.

I can't think of a GM who did a worse job last year. At least in the NHL.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

For a job poorly done ?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Odd timing considering he completely botched it

 

[FissionFire]

Destroys the team, gets paid. Make it make sense.

 

[BHD]

Odd timing considering the talk around the Rangers.

 

[AKL]

Can someone just confirm for me... just fired the coach he hired less than two years ago after the roster he's been assembling for four years to play for that coach collapsed out of a playoff spot, right? And then he gets a multi year extension? Is that correct?

 

[Vipers31]

Ah, the old move of giving a guy who’s rightfully being criticized an extension to make folks look at more immediate issues. Almost never fails.

 

[seafoam]

Did Dolan have a gun to his head?

 

[Some Other Flame]

Can't wait until the next apology letter

 

[SEALBound]

They obviously didn't get the memo about Lou becoming available.

 

[miscs75]

Did Dolan have a gun to his head?

He threatened to make him listen to his band without hearing protection.

 

[RuudeDog]

Guess they love guys who can ruin a team and culture on broad street. Let’s call this one interesting
