The Dude Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Roster players that spent time in Hartford/Connecticut: Chris Kreider Filip Chytil Ryan Lindgren Igor Shesterkin Alex Georgiev Libor Hajek Vitali Kravtsov Phil Di Giuseppe Roster players that went from amateur to pro: Alexis Lafreniere Kaapo Kakko Adam Fox Zac Jones K'Andre Miller Pavel Buchnevich (4 game AHL stint) Brett Howden Roster players from trades/free agency Artemi Panarin Mika Zibanejad Ryan Strome Colin Blackwell Kevin Rooney Jacob Trouba Brendan Smith Julien Gauthier So about 2/3rds of our roster was either drafted and came directly to the NHL (no need for AHL) or spent some time in the AHL. What's your problem again? You're lost. Was Drury the GM of Hartford when Kreider was there? Chytil was there 2 weeks as punishment Georgiev stinks You and others shit on Hajek daily Kravstov ran home from Hartford Di Giuseppe is crap Shestyorkin HAD to play there and was dominant before going there I'll give ya Lindgren You're absolutely right to ask me what my problem is, because you obviously didn't get the point. Drury was the GM for Hartford and Hartford has fucking sucked. Someone pointed out the Packs record this year in an effort to claim they haven't sucked as if a 20 something game season is anything to gauge them on. Nevermind that the only future Rangers on the roster are Barron and maybe Reunenen. Drury is given credit for being this whiz and they use Hartford as a gauge/accomplishment, when in fact the team hasn't been winning and it scared 2 prospects away do badly they left for their home countries. Get it? . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it? . The fuck is he supposed to do, sign free agents and draft guys? Discussing it with you is a waste of time. It’s not a tier II team that makes its own moves.

Has that sunk in yet? You are seriously missing the boat and seem to just want to argue. Why/ how can you get pissy on my take on this when you've done nothing but add to my point, which IF YOU FUCKING READ says nothing about him ruining anything. Just that there's nothing to credit him for as far as Hartford goes. It's not like he signed minor league diamonds in the rough. Why is Hartford part of his resume if he didn't do anything good or bad????? You say he did NOTHING! So? This helps you how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t do anything to progress Hartford (your point), but he didn’t do anything to make it bad or a bottomless pit for prospects’ careers to die in (my point). I wasn’t so much against your overall message more than how you went about supporting it. He’s been groomed for this job for several seasons. I think getting his feet wet in the AHL helped him progress to the NHL. Time will tell if he can handle the show himself. Everyone speaks highly of him. I can only hope he’s not Dolan’s yes man Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Gorton’s legacy is going to be interesting eventually. He started and did the dirty work of the tear-down and buildup. Gorton stole Mika Zibanejad and Adam Fox, signed Artemi Panarin and had nine first-round picks (four of their own and five added) in the last four drafts, after the Rangers went four years without a first-round pick. It’s absolutely cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs that he lost his job at this point. Some interesting bluntness from Carp here. Since the story I published earlier, I have heard from a conflicting source about whether Dolan was angry at Gorton for not making a deadline trade. Indeed, I was told, Gorton came pretty close to making a significant hockey deal, for a legit player, not a rental, but a team backed out. I have also been told that Sather, though front and center Thursday (and involved throughout Wednesday’s crazy day), is not getting back into any kind of major role. Nor does he, at age 77, want to. As an advisor to Drury, he can be valuable. If he wants to run the Rangers from behind the scenes, that’s dangerous, in my opinion. But apparently he doesn’t want to do that. How's that for a raised eyebrow situation? https://theathletic.com/2573039/2021/05/07/final-thoughts-on-an-unprecedented-4-days-for-the-rangers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 If Sather doesn't want to be involved in any major role, why have him in the first press conference with the new GM and president?

I hope to God Sather isn't pulling Drury's strings and running the team because if that's the case I can see Drury stepping away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, instill doubt in those who don't have much faith in the Sather way of doing things. This team has been under the same regime, effectively, since 2000. Sather groomed Gorton and Gorton groomed Drury. Gordie Clark has been here since 2002! Sather has been involved the entire time, to some capacity. Other teams don't have this level of continuity from one front office to the next. Sometimes, I just wish we could cut ties entirely and bring in a new staff.

jrc64 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 A friend and I were discussing last night how this whole thing had been planned and this situation was just used as a front for going through with it.

Not sour patch family, it was supposed to be Cabbage Patch family. Because Gorton looks like a Cabbage patch kid, you know, in the face. Jaysus, I may need to retire.

It's a tangible theory. I don't know if "a front" is a good word for it, but I think the Wilson stuff and the statement blowback was what sped things along to the point they're firing the GM and Prez with 3 games left in the season. If that doesn't happen, you probably see it happen after about a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 My guess is the deal was Bennett for Chytil, but they found footage of Chytil. I don't subscribe to that political sports magazine, but does Carpiniello point out any of the absolutely dumb shit Gorton did, too, or just the good stuff?
