BrooksBurner Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Larry Brooks @NYP_Brooksie Brian Leetch has resigned from his hockey operations advisory position with Rangers, Post has learned.

Phil Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Newly appointed president and general manager Chris Drury had asked Leetch to stay with the franchise, but the former Blueshirts defenseman still opted to step away. Leetch’s resignation comes on the heels of CEO Jim Dolan’s dismissals of former president John Davidson and general manager Jeff Gorton, as well as Drury’s decision to relieve David Quinn of his head-coaching duties. Gorton announced in September 2017 that Leetch was hired to work with the hockey operations department in both hockey-related decisions along with off-ice player and prospect development. Additionally, Leetch was charged with assisting prospects in the organization, which included the team’s AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. Brad Richards, who played three seasons in New York, was also brought on in the same role at that time and remains with the team. https://nypost.com/2021/05/13/brian-leetch-resigns-from-job-as-a-rangers-adviser/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 hmmm, not thrilled with the way JD was treated or perhaps a better opportunity awaits? Or has nothing to do with either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Probably related to the JD situation and/or dismissing Quinn. I'm leaning towards letting JD and Gorton go. This is not ideal. Also, I was today years old when I found out Brad Richards works for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It was a fake role. He was probably told he had to actually do something, but it was going to be in a lesser capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 lol So do Tanner Glass and Tuomo Ruutu. I’ve read about both of those guys helping and communicating with prospects. Ever hear that about Leetch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy9654 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I dont think people resign from cushy jobs like this unless it becomes a really shitty environment to work in. Not a good sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I can't honestly say I knew Leetch actually worked for the Rangers. As Josh mentioned I'd known of Glass and Ruutu, and Ortmeyer. Even Graves to a lesser extent.. Leetch and Richards were news to me. Perhaps they were just figurehead type jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this doesn't give me the warm fuzzys I love it. He was probably told if he wanted the job, he actually had to do the job. When you put people in 'player development' roles, they better be involved with the GD player development when you have a plethora of young prospects. Leetch was charged with assisting prospects in the organization I hope Drury made him accountable. Leetch didnt want to be. *insert Phil's favorite 'Bye' gif* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The whole of this thread is complete speculation, Pete. A guy we all generally like left a position most of us had no idea he had and have no concept of what the job means with a team that's going through quite a bit of front office turnover. Cue speculation, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
