We've been talking about it for weeks already, but things are going quite poorly in New York.
The Rangers have traded their captain, Kaapo Kakko has fallen out with his teammates and “Chris Kreider is still on the market.” You'll understand a little later why I've put my last words in parentheses. Is the next to leave the ship GM Chris Drury?
Apparently, the players have held a meeting among themselves to determine the future of their general manager. I've never seen that. Pierre McGuire hasn't either… Moreover, Jimmy Murphy and he, on the podcast The Sick Podcast – The Eye Test, didn't discuss the topic for too long due to a lack of credibility.
Could #NYR GM Chris Drury be on the hot seat?

This still deserves to be highlighted since Murphy says it's a story that's circulating.
His colleague has never seen that. He states that a player meeting could take place to determine the future of their head coach, but not their GM, after all. Things are going so poorly in the Big Apple that even a former player of the team has poured out his heart.
Mike Rupp, who played for the Blue Shirts during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons, thinks there is – forgive my anglicism – some bullshit surrounding the team.
Watch it or don't, but until the BS stops, nothing will change on the ice… #NYR https://t.co/gKaXm4l8n9 pic.twitter.com/iUt0JLvMvu

These are useless things we don't want to deal with that make coming to the rink a chore because we look over our shoulders every second. – Mike Rupp
The former forward, who played 609 games in the NHL, is also not too keen on sending Kakko to the stands.
He concluded by saying that he thinks Chris Kreider's name has been leaked intentionally to get a response from the team. He doesn't believe the Rangers actually intended to trade him. It's a mess over there…
McGuire wouldn't be surprised to see trades, especially if the team loses tonight against the Nashville Predators. Remember that a trade freeze will occur between December 20 and 27.
