I wasn’t going to get into the keeping/signing players. He’s been hit or miss on that.
For as big of a disaster Nemeth was, we ended up losing the 42nd overall pick in 2025 in that trade and what will likely be around pick 34 this year which is absolutely HORRENDOUS when u think about it, the Trocheck signing was great.It was 12th overall, not 15th. And when ur going through a rebuild I’d take 12th overall every single day of the week over a 32 year old.
I’m not mad we’re rebuilding, I’m mad at who’s doing it given his track record. He gets smoked on trades, very rarely comes out on top.
JT Miller trade – bad
Keandre Miller trade – good
Nemeth trade – horrific
Buch trade – horrible
Kreider trade – horrible
Trouba trade – horrible
Reilly Smith trade – terrible
Kakko trade – terrible
Kravtsov handling/trade – terrible
Kane trade – horrible
Tarasenko trade – ok
Lindgren/Vesey trade – ok
Roslovic trade – good
Wennberg trade – bad
Motte trade – goodYou can’t reason with stupid. There’s fire Drury chants nightly at the Garden and TJ is the only person I know that still defends him. And TJ, I’m not calling you stupid, you’re just being stubborn.
Reilly Smith was one of the dumbest things he’s ever done.
Pitt gave up a 3rd to get him, he has a terrible year.
We give PITT a 2nd after his terrible year.
Then only get back a 3rd.Amazing. So 3 teams traded for him, 2 of the teams got a 2nd but Drury the genius is the only one to get a 3rd. Moron.
Regarding Carrick, I think he could be a very valuable piece for a contending team. A 2nd round pick would surprise me, but I think it’s fair/reasonable. But a 3rd and 4th is also a possibility or maybe a B level prospect.
If Drury traded Laf Panarin Trocheck and we added 3 prospects similar to Kasper Wright and Greentree plus a couple 1sts and some mid round picks, I’d be happy with that.
If he gets older roster players back bc he’s “retooling” instead of rebuilding, I’ll lose my mind.
That’s another huge issue I have with Drury. He’s f’ing horrific on his returns in all these trades. Not a single player in return on Kreider Trouba KK Goodrow that has helped improve our team. Borgen is a plug, and the Trouba/Kreider returns we got absolutely nothing for bc he announced to the league he hated them and wanted them gone. wtf did u think the return would be after the way he handled that????? MORON.
Problem with MINN is after the Hughes trade they’re kinda dry in prospects/picks. No 1st or 2nd this year, Stramel is a name but he’s a 4th year college guy that isn’t developing the way they hoped. The Trocheck trade has to be a home run, it’s why I’d eat 50% on the salary. Getting him for 2.8 for the next 3 1/2 years is the steal of the league. I want a top top return for him.
Although I’m sure if we get a 6th 7th and 11th round pick TJ will tell us drury’s hands were tied and there was nothing else he could’ve done and we need to trust him more. “It was about dumping salary” for the next 32 year old he wants to add to the team. Right TJ 👀
Panarin to LAK for Greentree and a 2nd
Laf to SEA for Wright
Trocheck 50% retained to DET for Danielson and a 1st
Soucy for a 3rd
Jbrod for a 5th/6th
Raddysh for a 6th
Carrick for a 2nd/3rd
TJ, u want to see my vision, you just refuse to admit you were wrong. I saw it all along with Laf, I know you loved him but he just didn’t have “it”. I blame a lot of that on the Rangers development. You don’t have 4 top 10 picks all be complete busts without the organization having something to do with it.
Lias, Krav, Kakko, Laf. They put these guys on the 3rd lines with limited ice time and they expect them to develop like other top 10 picks that are given top 6 roles with PP time.
Drury’s judgement on players in trades; and who he trades for/away is horrendous. He makes these trades and talks about he’s been wanting player X for a while and glad he finally got him. Parsenin, Brisson, Terrance, Blais, they all SUCK. What does he see in these guys that have made him want them for a long time?
