Colby Cohen: “So, let me ask you this, a little bit pointedly. How many coaches is Chris Drury going to hire before we start to think that Chris Drury is maybe not a good enough guy. And Gerald Galante, Peter Laviolette, and now you have Mike Sullivan. He fired David Quinn, who was 10 games over .500 in a three-year rebuild. I think people forget that. Jeff Gorton, mind you, there’s a lot of connections between those two.
And, you know, so, like, at what point is Dolan going to, um, maybe, maybe my, my top, my leadership is not where it needs to be. There’s a lot of noise, (Jacob) Trouba, (Chris) Creed. How things are handled. Barkley Goodrow, did they use his relationship with Mike Greer to get around the system with this move. Like, when do we start talking about the Rangers? “
Pagnotta: “You know, there were some whispers, faint whispers, but there were whispers all summer that if Drury and company couldn’t right the ship, at least not going into, obviously not this season, at least not going into, or, I’m sorry, going into next season. Without a clear vision of, OK, we’re finally on the right path, then Dolan might be looking to make something happen.
I think it’s too early. I think they gave him, he was in good hands, Drury had a great relationship, but I think there was at least an understanding of, ‘Look, man, you’re getting close to the edge. Either move forward or I’ll push you down. “
Irfaan Ghaffar: “I don’t think James Dolan would be afraid to do that either. You know, we’ve seen how the Rangers ownership group, the Knicks operate.”
