BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 -- Assistant GM Chris Drury is believed to be the leading candidate to fill the post of GM while Dolan conducts a hunt for a president that is expected to have Mark Messier at the top of the wish list. Drury has been part of the Blueshirts’ management team for six years and an assistant GM for five. The next GM will make the decision on the fate of head coach David Quinn, who has two years remaining on his contract. But a divergence of philosophies emerged between Dolan and the Davidson-Gorton ticket, with sources indicating that the CEO believes that it is time to take the next step in this process while the front office people have continued to preach patience and a longer-view panoramic take of situation. As well, it is believed that the hockey hierarchy’s collection of skill players at the expense of will players did not sit well with Dolan. The recent mismatches against the Islanders highlighted the team’s deficiencies in grit and leadership and may have accelerated, if not prompted, this stunning decision. https://nypost.com/2021/05/05/rangers-fire-john-davidson-jeff-gorton-in-shocking-move/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Yeah, I'll miss Davidson more, but holy crap, I did not see this coming. I admired the guts for making a statement like that, but they get fired for it basically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 1) How could that statement possibly be released without one of the two of them approving it? 2) Even if it was, why wouldn't they retract it immediately? Unless it was Dolan himself who ordered it. 3) They just brought JD in, there has to be more to this than one stupid statement. Not saying they were doing a perfect job but I am a bit disappointed- I did like the direction of the team.

Lord Al Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger · 4m I’m told the firing of Gorton and Davidson by NYR is coincidental and not related to the statement issued yesterday related to Tom Wilson. Another source says ownership felt the Rangers underachieved this season.

Sharpshooter Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I just wanted Gorton and Quinn fired. That really sucks about JD. Having him back as President was great. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
