Rangers Fire Davidson and Gorton
Just when it seemed the Rangers had gone from a transactional organization to a strategic one, we were hit the news this afternoon that team owner Jim Dolan has fired president John Davidson and General Manager Jeff Gorton. The move comes less than 24 hours after the team issued a statement condemning the NHL and singling out Director of the leagues Department of Player Safety George Parros following Monday night’s game in which Tom Wilson punched a prone Pavel Buchnevich and went after Artemi Panarin.
Chris Drury has reportedly assumed the roles of President and General Manager, though it’s not certain yet whether it is an interim or permanent appointment.
