Rangers have lost 13 out of their last 17 games. What would you do if you were Dolan (the owner of the team) or Drury (the GM)?

Late-Jan/Early-Feb, 2020

I'd put it a bit earlier than that, but close enough.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

I personally would f***in love to watch this guys pressers as GM.

 

[Turin]

Unironically 2012.

It's true. I viscerally felt the world become insane in 2012.

Did Avery vandalize the cup to get his name on it with the Wings?

 

[Peltz]

If i was anyone in charge i would put Zibanejad only on offensive faceoffs and full 2minutes of every powerplay and hope he gets a hot streak, then trade him for whatever i can get.

He has a full NMC

 

[Rschmitz]

Really hoping that getting shutout by Nashville tonight is enough to push them over the edge

 

[Czechboy]

I didn't realize the NY Rangers had an ECHL franchise with the same name.

This is a storied franchise on a losing streak.. no one serious is considering Sean Avery to be the GM in 2024.

 

[orby]

Trying to stabilize an organization by injecting Sean Avery into the mix is like trying to bandage a stab wound with a knife blade.

That Mayan calendar thing turned out to be legit.

 

[bleachdrinker]

They’re gonna hire the guy from Oppenheimer to be the GM?

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Wasn't he busy yelling at homeless people not that long ago? Building that resumé. Might actually be a perfect fit for NYR

That Mayan calendar thing turned out to be legit.

Was never the 'end' of the world but a transition of 'ages'. The wheel keeps turning.

 

[Romang67]

I remember when Avery released a Players' Tribune article where he claimed that a salary of $13.2M of salary over a career really equates to around $600,000 of take-home pay. I wasn't sure if he were an idiot or just thought everyone else was.

Always thought that was a low point for the Players' Tribune.

 

[Andre Palot]

They’re gonna hire the guy from Oppenheimer to be the GM?

He'd objectively would do a better job

 

[BrockLobster]

They need another lottery win

 

[SirPaste]

This would be the greatest thing

 

[Devils Trap]

NYR's biggest issue now is they signed Igor to 11.5 million.

Not because he isnnt worth it, he is brilliant, but they are so bad they would legit be in Hagens territory without him - Igor will steal 8/10 pointns himself for them

 

[PattyLafontaine]

All of New York was awful tonight

Non-NY teams: 12 NY teams: 1

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

I feel like Drury's not going anywhere. Jimmy Dolan doesn't go thru GMs often and he only hires people he's known for a long time. He's not the type to like, you know, interview a bunch of qualified candidates and then hire the best fit.

He's only replacing Drury with someone that's been known in some capacity to the organization for a long time. And no one really exists right now that fits that bill.

TL;DR: Dolan is a f***ing idiot, Drury's not going anywhere

 

[VeteranPresence]

Drury’s gotta be gone tomorrow, right?

 

[Habsforever14]

I mean when you look back at the situation the fact that Drury wanted to blow it up after losing 2 games in a row in a west road trip looks insane. My theory is that is created a huge distraction in the room and the Trouba trade made it worse.

What I don't understand is:
Was this supposed to be leaked? If not why the hell did Friedman leak everything.

Where tf do the rangers even go from there?

It's one thing to want to blow up the core because you see you can't do any damage in the playoffs but you say and do that shit in the offseason not in the middle wtf.

 

[Sorry]

Laviolette loses locker rooms quickly? News at 11.

 

[LuGBuG]

Good thing Trouba was traded because during this skid regardless of his performance he’d be getting crucified.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Good thing Trouba was traded because during this skid regardless of his performance he’d be getting crucified.

He would be getting crucified, because he sucks at hockey. At any cap hit. Let alone $8M per

 

[HBK27]

He would be getting crucified, because he sucks at hockey. At any cap hit. Let alone $8M per

And yet he was still getting 20 minutes a game for the Rangers and they traded him away for cap space that they've done nothing with so far. Doesn't look like whoever took his minutes is faring any better.
