Rangers extend GM Drury for multiple years

[NJ DevLolz]

Drury the goatttt

 

[ColbyChaos]

Now hire Torts

Already rumored lol

 

[TGWL]

Why would you want to take a chance with the guy who made three separate trades this season that netted him three different bottom-pairing caliber defensemen? And that’s not getting into the Panarin sideshow that happened under his watch and only came to light last week.

Because he wasn't being fired this offseason. Whether that's the right move or wrong move, he wasn't being let go.

 

[TGWL]

Can Drury land Tocchet for his new coach? Could that have something to do with him getting extended?

That should be direct cause to terminate.

 

[CanadienShark]

This feels like a reverse Uno of sorts...

 

[Fatass]

Now hire Torts

Imo the Rangers will hire Tocchet.

 

[ffh]

Rangers are so lucky

 

[RevengeOfTheDrai]

A good way to send a strong message to the league

"yes he's a terrible GM, but he is MY terrible GM. He is ours!".

 

[Fatass]

Rangers are so lucky

Yes they are; they’re getting Tocchet.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

It seems like it's tough for a GM to lose their job. They get to run through so many coaches

 

[Fish on The Sand]

So the coach gets fired and the GM gets an extension? Make it make sense.

Could always fire the coach and promote the GM like Seattle did.

Dolan the worse owner in pro sports
Set back the Knicks for years
Now going set back the Rags
Feel sorry for NY fans

What’s funnier, Ron Francis’ promotion or Chris Drury’s extension? It’s close.

I just don’t understand how you make this decision unless you’ve paid zero attention to the players in your organization. Didn’t they specifically mention the trades that were made this year as a reason for their disappointing season?

Maybe you shouldn’t be paying attention to the ones who have gotten a couple coaches fired and couldn’t show up to voluntary practices when the team was struggling.
I don’t like the move but if Drury has permission to make major moves..okay.

 

[Rebels57]

Love this as a Flyers fan. Welcome to Hell. We've been waiting for you.

 

[Fatass]

 

[MoneyManny]

I would kill for that kind of job security.

 

[Miller Time]

Lol... Great news (unless you're a rangers fan)

 

[Frank Drebin]

Why wouldn’t they?

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

lol why? It’s like telling your players “get in line!” except they’re pro athletes and not like us wage jockeys. They, uh, don’t have to take your bullshit.

Terrible decision, which is great for me.

[M88K]

April Fools is supposed to be the 1st

 

[PeteWorrell]

Drury is the Kamala Harris of GM's, failing upward.

It's less about Drury and more about Dolan loving him like a pet. Just like Dolan never fired Glen Sather because he admired him. You are set for life as long as you don't annoy him like Gorton and Davidson did.

 

[Kimota]

Are the AMC guys still rrunning the show? Aren't they aware of what people think of Drury?

 

[Shark Finn]

What a weird decision IMO.

What an entirely weird offseason of firings and shufflings for east coast teams in general.

You love to see it. Rangers truly deserve this.
