A New GM that will certainly bring leadership

Earlier this season, The Sabres asked the permission to interview former NHL STAR Chris Drury.

Drury is in his first season as New York’s assistant GM after serving as director of player personnel last year.”

“Rangers reached out this am … indicated organization declined requests, not Drury.” Reported by Elliotte Friedman soon after the news got out.

After not letting the Sabres interview Chris Drury, the Rangers promote him to general manager of their AHL team.

He scored 255 goals and registered 360 assists for a total of 615 points in 892 games. He won the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanches in 2001 where he scored the game-winning goal.
