Rangers: an employee dismissed for having eaten with a player from the club
Charles-Alexis BriseboisThings are going badly for the Rangers. In fact, it’s really going badly.
The club is in complete disarray and truly represents the following statement: in a business, leadership comes from the top. So when things are all twisted up top, it leads to…
Example? When Alexis Lafrenière couldn’t speak French with reporters. It gives off the same vibe as the former CH players who couldn’t speak to CH players under Marc Bergevin.
But now there’s another type of rule that’s causing a stir on social media concerning the Rangers.
According to what journalist Vince Z. Mercogliano reports, a public relations employee of the club lost his job because he – brace yourselves as I’m about to tell you the crime of the year – shared a meal with a player.
Do the #NYR have a culture problem?
Their messy dealings with players who’ve been forced out have gone public, but there’s more behind the scenes that’s caused locker-room friction and a tense work environment.

In short, management refuses to let members of the organization spend unnecessarily time with players or coaches. They do their job with the players… and that’s it.
It’s not a healthy atmosphere. No need for me to paint a picture for you because when your boss controls who you can talk to or not in the same company, it creates friction.
The journalist also mentions that the firing of Jim Ramsay, who now works for the Canadiens, hasn’t helped the climate within the team. He was liked, after all.
It’s no coincidence that the Rangers (and the Sabres) are teams to watch on the market right now.
While fellow NHL executives sympathize with Rangers GM Chris Dury and Sabres GM Kevyn Adams, they’re waiting to see what each does on the NHL trade market. https://t.co/7AUMhhIpnS

In brief
– I like it.
It’s becoming a routine.
