Drury and anyone involved in player development followed by all tradable players need to go. Drury can’t survive another rebuild. He cheated on the first one and now we’re in a terrible spot. I’ll say this in his defense, Laf and kakko not working out probably is the nail in the coffin for this version of the team. I think every other GM would’ve taken those two players if they were in our spot so you can’t blame him for that. Development failed them and they’ve failed themselves. Everything else he’s done (or not done, I.e. getting a difference maker) is trash though
All of this is probably moot because the word is (and history would agree) that Dolan is not interested in a rebuild in earnest
Kakko has 4 points in 15 games with Seattle this season, so I cant say that he has progressed his game.
LAF, unfortunately, has succumbed to a team with one of the worst managed and developed teams in the NHL. in 5 years, hes had 4 different head coaches and 2 different GMs. Let this sink in… since 2020 we’ve had David Quinn, Gerard Gallant, Peter Lavoilette and Mike Sullivan as head coaches. They didnt have a captain, then they did, then they traded him away 2 years later. How is any team, let alone a young player, supposed to find development and synchronicity under those conditions?
In fairness to KK, he has been hurt most of the season.
Not to mention regarding Laf and Kakko, they were buried on the 3rd line with no PP time and 10 minutes a game. What other organization treats their 1st and 2nd overall picks like that??
I’ve never been a fan of Drury, have hated almost every move he’s made and I’m glad others are starting to see it. Fire Drury chants need to start raining down at the Garden. Pathetic.

It blows my mind that a 70 year old man that is apparently worth 2 billion dollars, can’t commit to a real rebuild because of some missed playoff revenue for a few years. Yeah let’s keep being 1 and done or miss the playoffs altogether instead of missing a few years during a rebuild and actually building a perennial winner/contender. F Dolan.

Quotes don’t work for me
“Along with Gabe, I wouldnt want to trade Cuylle (although he would probably get us a pretty decent haul)… and maybe Schneider. Might keep Morrow for PP purposes.”Cuylle is tradable. He’s been bad but still has good value. I’d be ok with him staying because of age and contract.
Schneider is a 2nd pairing d at best and if any team thinks he’s more than that we need to pull the trigger asap
I dont think Schneider is untradeable, I think hes good, Its kind of impossible to strip the team down to the bare bones, so I wouldnt force a trade involving him.. as you say cause of age and contract. But if theres a team out there that offers something along the lines of what KAndre got us (a 1st and a B prospect), Id have a hard time saying no at this point.

My biggest question is, what are they going to do with Panarin? We know Drury isnt a fan of his, Drury ripped Panarin after that ECF a few years ago, but if you dont sign him, it would look like they raised the white flag because there isnt another big FA player out there. Please I dont want to hear Mcdavid, he isnt coming here in 2 years, he wants to win a Cup, not hope to make the playoffs. So what to do with Panarin?
I say this with full transparency that I am wanting a full tear down/rebuild – any player should be on the table except Gabe. Panarin needs to be traded at the deadline no matter what – drury needs to find a way and take whatever he can get. resigning him for what he apparently wants is not worth it and will just be more of the same for this team.
