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)?

Clear cap and sign Marner July 1, 2025.

Doing that and still not having a good center would be impressive

I mixed up Gallant with Berube. Tocchet knows nothing about coaching.

No you didnt.

I wouldn’t do anything. I’m guessing that they will be fine. 13/17 amd still barely out of a playoff spot.

Clear cap and sign Marner July 1, 2025.

No team that is serious about a deep playoff run will sign Marner unless at a steep discount. Go back to last May when Leafs fans wanted to fire him into the sun, again.

The Rangers going full Sabres this season wasnt on my bingocard but they'll bounce back soon enough.

I had mentioned earlier that they should all shave their sideburns, and none of them delivered.

Kick the entire roster off the team.

Lou, this isn't a thread about the Islanders.

I have hunch they're getting low readings on the Give-a-Shit Meter.

if so, those things are hard to fix.

I've been in Alberta my whole life so I've met like one Ranger fan IRL. LOL

This could be the basis of Alberta’s new “visit ‘Berta” ad campaign

Laviolette isn't the problem in NY. Besides you don't fire a coach who just took this team to a presidents trophy last year.

Laviolette has mismanaged this situation just as much as Drury has. The situation itself might not be his fault, but the way he’s handled it has only exacerbated the problems. Maybe no coach could’ve done better, but he’s the guy there. He’s lost the team completely and I don’t believe it’s possible for a coach to get a team back once that happens. He has to go.

I’ve said before that this collapse has been a group effort. Drury, Laviolette, and the veteran leadership group coming into the season all bear the blame, with varying shares for individual players. Trouba, Zibanejad, Kreider, Fox, Panarin, Trocheck in that order. The only guys I don’t blame are the younger players caught up in the whirlwind of this and veteran newcomers like Smith and Carrick. Saying that Laviolette needs to be fired doesn’t absolve Drury or those veterans, but that doesn’t change anything about his role in it either.

Investing $24M of cap in Marner and Shesterkin probably isn't the best idea if you're looking to be a Cup contender...
