Jan, in your opinion, when should Drury be fired? Or do you think he should be kept?
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.
IMO the top six isnt producing enough, picking up a top 6 player this year, there are so many teams in the mix so fewer players, will cost more than the Rangers have in the cup board. Im not sure what direction this team takes. Any news on the Panarin front? Knowing what they want to do with him would be a big clue.
This is the team Drury AKA The Genius assembled. Not looking good. So tired of the excuses, every team in the league is playing this condensed schedule. You need more!!!
Gotta admit, gutsy win even if the tying goal was on the PP from a dumb, unforced delay of game penalty. It is what it it is. Rangers killing off 2 penaltys in OT was strong. Still wouldnt trust this team with anything. All players have some dips, Igor is allowed to have his too.
These fucking guys (i.e. Drury and Dolan) need to learn that if you try to build a team that will be Cup-competitive perennially, the wins will take care of themselves.
I lost my shit when I saw 43 on the ice to start the game. Sullivan is no better than any other “experienced” coach out there. Save my ass, trying for 2 points, bullshit mentality!! Try for 110 points, you gutless, short-sighted prick!!I had said Sully wouldnt help. This organization thinks its in win now mode but forgot Drury nuked it last year.
How to win a game.
Cuylle, Miller, Perreault
Panarin, Trocheck, LAF
Othmann, Laba, Zibanejad
Berard, Carrick, RempeId switch Mika for Laf. Laffy is just not getting it done. Give him better match ups and see what happens.
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.
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?
When can this Drury experiment be over? My goodness he’s destroyed this organization.
After last seasons debacle, I couldnt believe Drury wasnt fired. You traded FC for Miller in the hopes he would save the organization but the organization just dragged him down. People posting Mill and Mika would be PPG players again and they arent even close, -11 in the plus/Minus. This team a .500 team and playoff bubble at best. The other teams in our division retooled and are much stronger, going to be hard for this team to compete for anything.
Im going to say this again since my last post was deleted, Im convinced this site uses the same programmer HB uses!!
