Let’s be honest; as Devils fans, we should be dropping down to our knees and praying that the Rags make Avery their next GM. Things would go from bad to worse for them overnight. Avery has zero managerial experience, and is probably very quietly not well liked or respected by anyone in the league outside of the rangers faithful
The Rangers for the better part of 3+ decades mortgage off their future in the hopes of going all in, and now it is biting them in the ass. They are a slow, non physical team that wants to play pond hockey. They struggle against bottom feeder teams and are completely manhandled by playoff caliber teams. The defensive play is atrocious. The only one playing his heart out is Cuyelle. Now, Drury signed Igor to an $11.5 AAV, which will age like spoiled milk. Some think the team needs a retool, but they really need to rebuild, and if they do, Shasterkin will be requesting a trade. It's better to sell that cow off now and get a complete haul to speed up the rebuild.
That Shesterkin deal was ALOT. These high dollar contracts make it harder to ice a deeper team, like we see with Toronto. Agreed Rangers defense has been atrocious, and the depth of this roster is showing to be not good, but theyll be able to add come the trade deadline, well see what happens.
Tkachuk the Rangers would gave to give up alot of assets for in a trade and Marner might get 13-14 mill AAV on his next contract. Pricey contracts to add, but should be interesting to see who they go after
i think if it wasnt gonna happen, we wouldnt even know about it. its either that or owner is buying some time making it look like he is gonna meet the player demands
It isn’t so much a matter of the players not liking Drury. They simply do not trust him, nor do they have any confidence in his questionable deals. Avery as general manager ? More like general moron.
So, they what, went down to the local pub and pulled Avery out of it to ask if he had any thoughts of taking on one of the hardest jobs in hockey? I don't know. I guess its no stranger than benching Kaapo Kakko because Mika Z and Krieds are struggling...
I actually love it. I would love it. Aves is a talented guy who throws 100% into what he does. Hes smart and articulate and doesn't BS. I think he would separate the wheat from the chaff. He sizes guys up really well.
Hes tough and all I get that, but its just shocking that his name is thrown into the mix with being so inexperienced to handle such a high role on a team. Well see, it will definitely get interesting
Hockey skatedown if the rangers were smart Chris Drury will either be president or stay as general manager. Ryan Martin promote him to general manager and sean Avery assistant general manager
This team needs to focus on hockey. You don’t like your GM too bad. Same core change coaches every 2 years. The players are the issue can’t keep blaming everyone else the team feel soft on and off the ice
I understand also…but I been a fan since 1960. Listening to Ranger games out in the cold at night, on a transistor radio. Rangers need to draft differently. It’s also the type player they salivate over and bring in. Don’t impress me. You don’t win shit, except a Presidents Trophy, with potential goal scorers at every position. YOU NEED ROLE PLAYERS, PERIOD. Last time they did, gee they won a damn cup. They got no clue. Sorry to say, neither do these fans get all hopped up about their additions. We spoke before. I think you know where I’m at. When you play physical, have team toughness throughout your lineup…you break the opponents will.
Exactly Richard, I agree, teams need that grit and toughness to out complete and outwill the other team. Goals get you so far, but when you have all lines rolling, playing the right way, and playing for each other they win, and the Rangers are scrambling right now. Yes I remember as soon as you said listening to Rangers games out in the cold, I remembered you
Drury destroyed the morale of the whole team and did nothing to fix the problems of the core being underachieving quitters. He fired Gallant to deflect blame from himself and he will fire Lavy if Dolan let's him.... he is an incompetent pretender.
@@THEHOCKEYSKATEDOWN Have you ever seen any of his videos? He’s awful; a real jackass. He treats everyone like they are Marty Brodeur. It’s ridiculous and I’m a die hard Rangers fan.
The comments show the true nature of ranger fans. Avery was an embarrassing POS. He wasn't talented. He was a cheap shot pest. The crap he pulled with Brodeur standing in front of him and waving his stick around was a joke. And then his public comments esp about his GF "sloppy seconds" even his own teammates wanted him gone. He wore out his welcome with every team he played with. But that is who the ragger fans want. Telling indeed.
I hate what he did with Brodeur, such a pain he was against the Devils. I agree hes always been horrible when he was a player and his antics after that have been even worse.
TO BAD THIS IS A BUSINESS.. TROUBA & GODROW HAD TO GO.. SOME PLAYERS ARE PROTESTING BY LOSING GAMES?.. THEY SHOULD BE TRADED OR THEIR CONTRACT NULIFIED FOR TANKING ON PURPOSE
They did I agree both players were not playing well and this relieved them of the cap space to make future moves. The way Drury went about things is what people were questioning, but it was compliant with the NHL to allow
I get that, but if they continue to lose I dont see him being the voice of reason to help things get on the right track, well see, should be very interesting

I agree, its just a freefall for them now, & after that Kaako trade im sure hell be shown the door, bad trade!
Avery as Gm would be so fun .... rempe our captain
This sounds like a Biz troll job trolling Avery, not the Rangers.
Biz does like to do that to the Rangers fans, but Whitney & Yandle didn't seem like they were trolling

Joel Quennville should come in.
Trading Kakko for NO RETURN was malpractice. Drury should be run out of town.
Horrible trade, I agree
I think Biz is trying to get clicks. I don't believe this.
He doeslike to do that but Whitney and Yandle didn't seem like that were talking for clicks
I could consider Mark Messiah be talked about!
That to me seems more logical than Avery
On the plus side in the off season the Rangers will have enough money for Tkachuk or Marner.
Tkachuk the Rangers would gave to give up alot of assets for in a trade and Marner might get 13-14 mill AAV on his next contract. Pricey contracts to add, but should be interesting to see who they go after
i think if it wasnt gonna happen, we wouldnt even know about it. its either that or owner is buying some time making it look like he is gonna meet the player demands
Could be that too, im so interested to see how this plays out
Nah, they’re going in the right direction. 😉 LGD
They're spiraling, this is just odd. No experience and thrown into a potential GM role
right down the toilet bowl with Sabres
He's a head case.....
Exactly, not the right fit for the Rangers as a GM
It isn’t so much a matter of the players not liking Drury. They simply do not trust him, nor do they have any confidence in his questionable deals. Avery as general manager ? More like general moron.
I wouldnt trust him even more after that Kaako trade too, not good
So, they what, went down to the local pub and pulled Avery out of it to ask if he had any thoughts of taking on one of the hardest jobs in hockey? I don't know. I guess its no stranger than benching Kaapo Kakko because Mika Z and Krieds are struggling...
Thats great, lol, gave me a Deadpool searching for Wolverine flashback you saying they went to a bar and found him

Hockey skatedown if the rangers were smart
Chris Drury will either be president or stay as general manager.
Ryan Martin promote him to general manager and sean Avery assistant general manager
After that trade he made with Kaako wow that was a bad trade
Wait... what?!
This team needs to focus on hockey. You don’t like your GM too bad. Same core change coaches every 2 years. The players are the issue can’t keep blaming everyone else the team feel soft on and off the ice
I agree Chris, same core not getting it done, players need to be held accountable and not just Kaako.
Enough with the clown show Avery...
Why not hire the Hanson brothers
Lol....thats great

Nice knock on the Rangers 😅
What a bunch of babies
Drury destroyed the morale of the whole team and did nothing to fix the problems of the core being underachieving quitters. He fired Gallant to deflect blame from himself and he will fire Lavy if Dolan let's him.... he is an incompetent pretender.
I agree and that's bad, he should take accountability on himself even after that Kaako trade too
Avery is too busy riding around NYC cursing at people who park in No Parking areas. Leave him at what he does best.
What an ass this guy is, thought it was just on the ice he was like that, but its worse off the ice
@@THEHOCKEYSKATEDOWN Have you ever seen any of his videos? He’s awful; a real jackass. He treats everyone like they are Marty Brodeur. It’s ridiculous and I’m a die hard Rangers fan.
Avery knows anything about running the rangers.
Exactly, no experience and they want him as GM, just shocking
Sean Avery is a joke
They don't need sean at all. He is terrible
Hurry up,even Bozo the clown would be a good replacement.
Lol, right lol

Hire sean Avery and rangers are laughing stock of nhl

Thanks guys great response
Lol 😂😂😂. Sean Avery ? Bro is maybe a WNBA third quarter sub at best.
i never liked drury as a player or gm. averys bullshit grew tired. except the avery rule. this is something stupid something dolan would do
Be great to finally have someone with grit, and sandpaper their personality, since Mike Keenan
I get that, but if they continue to lose I dont see him being the voice of reason to help things get on the right track, well see, should be very interesting
Sign me up for avery being the gm
Getting alot of Rangers fans saying that, shocked but well see, should be interesting to see the outcome of all this
