DOLAN STEPS BACK FOR….DOLAN
The Rangers announced today that owner Jim Dolan will step back further from the oversight of the New York Rangers to make room for his son Quentin to take a larger role overseeing the Blueshirts. For some months now, Dolan the younger has been projected to take on a bigger role with the franchise, and today’s announcement just formalizes it. For the past 27 years Jim Dolan has been varyingly active in the running of the Rangers, stepping in at times to change the course of the club.
What this means for the Rangers is far from clear. At 32 years old, he is closer to two generations younger than his father, and possibly more polish. His opening PR quote suggests someone who understands that there’s more to managing than simply reacting and ordering people about.
