What can you even say about this team now? Like wow!!!
Its ok man, its all part of the plan, just have to give it time to work itself out. You need patience when you’re trying to change the culture and ethics of a team.
The best course of action is to sell and get (4) 1st round picks going into this draft.
If we sell we’d likely end up in the bottom 5 of the league, maybe pair 2 of the picks to move into the teens. Top 5, top 20 and a pick in the 20’s to go along with multiple 2nds should be the mindset going into the deadline.
What worries me is when we get “prospects” back that Drury has supposedly been “watching/liked for a long time” like Parsennin, Brisson, Blais etc. His judge of talent is suspect at best.
There were ways to salvage this team at the end of last year but Drury has completely killed the culture. It’s time for a full tear down and rebuild but my faith that he will do what’s best for the future of this organization is next to none.
I have the same worries. Drury sucks at scouting existing young talent and the organization is deplorable at developing players.
The right thing to do is to sell and get as many picks as we can, but history (over the last near decade) is not on their side when it comes to drafting and developing.
Can’t comment on the new article because it’s not a forum or whatever that issue is
I think it will eventually show up on the forum.
If Drury goes and trades a 1st round pick for Kiefer Sherwood (after he could have been got for free 2 years ago, which I was praying they would but these dumbasses didnt), I will be livid.
I’m not disagreeing with you that we should not trade a first round pick (or anything) for kiefer Sherwood. But i am gonna go ahead and suggest that there’s no way you knew he’d be more than a fringe roster player.
A fringe player? No, did I think he would be a solid bottom 6, 3rd line addition? Absolutely! His last year with NSH was 10g 27pts, 234 hits playing only 12 minutes a game. Those are exactly the kids of guys we needed on this team at the time. Gritty guys who provide secondary scoring.

People saying we should trade JT Miller seems odd and would be an incredibly bad look on the Rangers… To trade for him the year before, make him Captain, then trade him, would kill… I mean absolutely kill the look of the NYR and we would have an incredibly hard time signing free agents. Panerin and Zib are absolute possibilities… Trotchek and Miller, I highly doubt…
Miller I highly doubt will get traded, however… Trouba was captain for… 2 years? If you can even call it that, since he basically spent most of 2024 defending himself, using his NMC to block any trades, taking crap in the summer until it ultimately came to a head and he was gone. So to say it would be odd for Miller to be moved, yes it would, under different circumstances… however, its not beyond what Drury would do. Miller and Trocheck are a couple of Sully’s USA guys so I think that should protect them as well.
Continuing on that thought, the way the Rangers handled Trouba and especially Goodrow already marred the way other players look at this organization. This is actually the biggest reason why I want Drury gone.
Panarin and Drury I think have a rocky relationship after Drury ripped him a few years ago after the ECFs. Drury doesnt strike me as a guy who mends fences.
I still dont see the need to resign him. Trade him and say thanks we had a good run but you arent that player we needed. This team isnt going anywhere with him so why bother resigning him? Let the retool begin, who will take Miller or Mika?? Those contracts will be tough to move even with their approval. Its going to be a dismal 4 years in Rangerland if we cant get these contracts off the books. Our pipeline is practically bear. So many first rd busts is a disaster.
They really should trade Panarin and promote Gabe to full time duty. Its ridiculous what theyre doing to the kid.
Get rid of Fox. I’ve said it for years. He’s to small, overrated, always hurt. Get what you can and move on.
Ok, saying Fox is always hurt is a bit of a stretch. Prior to this year hes played atleast 72 games in 4 straight seasons. Missing a couple games here and there isnt a big deal. However, I still wonder if that knee on knee injury that he played through ever fully healed… and whether or not hes only made it worse without taking proper care of it. It always seems like we talk about Fox before it and after it, and how he seems to have lost a step. As far as trading him goes, would I? If there was a crazy offer on the table. Despite the sputtering offense, hes still near a PPG.
