Rangers Blanked Again Against Islanders

Jan, in your opinion, when should Drury be fired? Or do you think he should be kept?

When both Adam Fox and JT Miller return, if there is no improvement in the team’s performance, I could see Dolan making a move. But remember. they fired JD and Gorton partially so they could promote Drury. In addition, they kept him away from going to Pittsburgh, so management will give him a long leash before cutting him loose.

Drury does not seem like a very good person, not that it should necessarily matter for a hockey gm, but it kind of does when you think about how he’s gone about running the team since he snaked his way into the role. Pretty toxic work place as it turned out last season. I always thought he was just a very mild mannered and soft spoken guy but that’s kinda the stuff you hear in those true crime docs about the unassuming high school teacher who cared deeply for his students but ended up having 10 bodies buried in his yard. But instead of bodies this is just being a complete a hole

This just extended him this season, I fully expect him to still be GM at the start of next season.

The question is, do they do the right thing and abandon ship with some of these players (to stock up on picks and prospects) or do they attempt to pointlessly buy at the deadline to try to make the playoffs.

i think we unfortunately all know the answer to that one. 🙁

The wild still want a top 6 forward and they are willing to move Hartman to do so according to the internet. The match is so clear here for both sides that Drury should be blacklisted from the NHL if he doesn’t try to do something like

Panarin ($2m-$3m retained)

For

Hartman (2x$4m remaining)
Charlie Stramel
2027 1st round pick (drop it lower and/or make it conditional if they won’t do it)

If you want to get buck wild (pun intended) Minnesota desperately needs a top 6 center so you could throw Trocheck in there for another prospect

Im all for the first part of the trade, but if Im the Rangers I retain half on Panarin to try to maximize the return.

For the second part. Id rather try to trade Zibanejad. I think the situation on the Wild might be one where he might waive his NMC. Mika, 1.5m retained, for a 2028 first round pick.

Trocheck is far more tradable from our perspective and will get a huge return . Mika is not waiving. Trocheck has only a partial ntc.
