The New York Rangers faced major changes as they fired top executives near the end of the COVID-shortened 2021 season. Chris Drury took charge to lead the team through a rebuild and back to Stanley Cup contention. Despite early mistakes, he has evolved and shown great ability to find value players.
Looking ahead, Drury faces challenges in managing assets and navigating contract extensions for key players like Lafreniere and Shesterkin. As the team aims for success this season, Drury's experience and decisions will be crucial in their quest for the Stanley Cup.
