This was my exact first thought when I read the headline lol

 

[Voight]

How do I fail my way into one of these positions?

Make it at least the OHL or NCAA and become friends with the right people so you're "one of the boys" for life. Its really easy if you think about it

He calls Dolan "Mr. D"

That kind of tells you everything you need to know. Typical country club, old boys club nonsense.

He's turned the Rangers from a President's trophy-winning, Eastern conference-making team to one with in-fighting, unhappy players, and not even making the playoffs. And he's been present for all of it, starting down in Hartford.

This really is the weirdest timeline...

I blame Tony DeAngelo for all of this.

I can't remember the last time I feel a GM failed at every aspect of the job as much as Drury has. He's arrogant with the media, he doesn't support his players, he's not putting people in a place to succeed, he's making bad trades, he's throwing youth under the bus, he's disrespecting vets, and on and on.

The only positive move I can remember is the JT Miller trade. But that was a specific case where the player wanted out of his old team and only wanted to play for NYR. No genius needed from Drury to just take the opportunity that only he got.

This move guarantees that the current core in New York is doomed to fail, and they're burning a few years at minimum.

The current core is old. The league is getting younger and faster. Adding JT Miller was the wrong move. He’s old and plays slow. The Rangers need to get younger and faster in their core. Drury is clearly there to try and squeeze more juice out of an old core. I guess he’s convinced his ownership there’s juice to squeeze. Otherwise they don’t extend him.

It's amazing how billion dollar businesses and organizations can do things that an average 13 yo would consider stupid.

On behalf of the fanbase of all the other Metropolitan teams, "Thank you!"

 

[JeffreyLFC]

The perfect candidate to screw up a proper rebuild.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

New York teams a mess

Guess it's time for Iron Mike Keenan to walk through those doors.

My inside sources say the Rangers decided on this extension on Sunday, 4/20/2025

 

[Dumais]

Well, guess we don't need dozens of threads asking "what's wrong with the Rangers"

Looks like we got the answer for the foreseeable future

[GKJ]

It doesn’t mean anything, if the Rangers crater next year, he’ll likely he gone.

 

[Mogo]

[NJ DevLolz]

What do you like most about Drury? Ruthlessly trading his mistakes, while killing team morale?

I mean, I get your post and response. I think Drury sucks. But I think the Rangers are screwed as long as Dolan is alive, basically, so it’s almost moot who the GM is and some fans at least did enjoy him essentially giving the finger to a soft, entitled, not good enough core… not that he’s improved it at all. Moving a 1st for Miller while actively looking to ship out the established veterans and subsequently putting himself in a position between forfeiting something like 10 OA or gambling on next year being even worse… paying Shesterkin as if his name was Connor McTerkin… it’s all shit in Ranger-land. But some people at least got some mild satisfaction out of seeing the whiny baby Rangers get “mistreated” by their meanie boss.

didn't that team fall apart when they got rid of the guys the internet wanted them to get rid of? maybe dolan was on the internet too much and forced him to move those guys
