Probably skews a little more positive towards Drury as he recovered some lost picks over the last year.
Reported by the NY Post, Drury has traded a net of one first-round draft pick, three second-rounders, four third-rounders and three fourth-rounders over his four-year tenure.
and what came back ? It’s a rhetorical question that answers itself. NOTHING. Fire the bum.
Dismal becoming a common word to describe the piling up Ranger games. Toss in lethargic, unmotivated and uninterested. This is Drury's team and coach 100%. The Rangers have the Capitals, Islanders, Hurricanes, Capitals, Panthers, and Mammoth, their next 6 games. Games that will tell the tale. Their Division opponents all have multiple games in hand most at at least two and the Flyers with 4 games in hand. So the Ranger's being in the wild card hunt might be a bit askew til the teams with games in hand catch up.
Which brings us to Drury's mess. Reality is it needs fixing. Biggest development mistake made was signing Raddysh and nephew in law Dreary Sheary. Totally blocked out Berard and Othmann both of whom had some upside, to add to doing anything Raddysh and Sheary have done. Which ain't much. Not to mention blocking Brodzinski who is also better than both Drury's boys. Chmelar also showing over the course of a season be might be more helpful. And no one can tell me young players sitting out games and players on the cusp in Hartford, aren't bitter about watching the golden boy one goal top six winger, 7th most ice time, among Ranger forwards. Justified? I don't think so. If his name was Smith, he wouldn't even be here. His signing and clear favouritism is on the coach and Drury who should have considered Tampa's evaluation and assignment to the minors as a warning Sheary is done. World class Tampa coach Cooper obviously thought so.
It is clearly shaping up the Rangers need the assets going forward that Panarin, and Lafreniere trades will bring. They need to inject some youthful top six forwards into the mix. Sadly Lafreniere doesn't appear he will ever even reattain the playoff heights of a couple years back.
The last guy I want handling this is Drury. He has had his run and successfully ran the team into below mediocre. Time to go. Ownership needs to do some diligence finding out if a proven successful GM like Brisebois, or Zito are looking for a new challenge. The Rangers have one thing and that's coin to lure a top end proven G.M. Brisebois in particular maybe getting stale in Tampa. New York is not the place for neophyte G.M's. which Drury was. He should have been in Buffalo. My rant for the day.

This. Nothing in the last month has done anything to change my outlook. Drury and the whole department of player personnel has to go. Watching the Kings game as I’m I’m on the left coast. I’ve played on beer league teams that were more structured. This is soooo hard to watch.
The more I read in NHL trade news articles, about how great Trocheck is, the more I laugh. If he was that good the Rangers wouldn't be in this mess. He has floated since the start of Laviolettes second year. His lack of extra effort is a huge part of the problem. Can't wait til they dump him.
Fire Drury. He is not the guy to get the team out of the mess he has created. His trade for Miller even though he got rid of Chytll is a disaster. Topped by Drury naming him captain. Drury has created this Ranger culture of the last two seasons. Sullivan is proving he's pretty good at flapping his gums, and not so good at getting effort out of players on a team that continues to cater to whoever is in the top six and use bottom six punishment to try to establish some kind of discipline. All the things missing in the Rangers game are outlined in the first sentence of a Invite To Apply for a Hockey Team Coach notice. Sullivan has failed miserably. Fire both these buddies and bring in some new blood.
