Kakko has been incredibly underwhelming his entire time with the Rangers considering his draft status. Nothing Kakko did this year indicates that he was going to turn into completely different player. Matthew Olivier from the Blue Jackets has as many pts as Kakko FFS. Maybe Drury needed to send a message to the players that even a recent 1st rd draft pick who isnt getting done isnt safe. Its easy to blame Drury and I understand that but it starts and ends with the players IMO.
It was vindictive, as it should have been. Whether you feel others should have been benched ahead of you is irrelevant, don't go crying to the press like a little b!t(#. Just worry about improving your own game.
@@rontoth996exactly, people are suddenly talking about this guy like he's Jari Kurri and Teemu Selanne combined. For a number two overall, he's been a complete bust.
VINNIE IS OUR NEXT CAPTAIN...The more I hear him speak the more I like him. Borgen was a fan fav. in Seattle. I think we're going to like him. Kakko's gonna have a solid career. As much as I don't like how Drury did things but it feels like he's smoothing it over now and at the end of the day he had to do something. My feeling is the dust has settled and we'll start winning games again.
Just the fact that everyone, players and management, are talking is a positive. Drury has a job to do and some players are having trouble accepting the ugly truth that they just aren't tough enough to win it all. Im a fan of these rangers they've given us plenty of good memories but honestly i don't believe they have what it takes to win it all. ✌️
Troch is captain material. Drury should pack his bags. See if JD is available. What a blunder replacing JD with Drury before JD had a chance to do what he did with Columbus and St. Louis
And a good game tonight. Looked really different, more engaged. A little more physical, a little more aggressive. They weren't over the top, but they were happy with the win. Nice game from Borgen. Hopefully the guys embrace him a little more than it looked like.
The metro has gotten better while rangers stood pat. NJ and WSH are probably the most improved. What did Drury expect? Rempe is just a gimmick. When he's the one people are excited about, there's a problem.
When player are inconsistent and don't produce should b traded this is a business and working for a business of high standards you have to take it serious.
I disagree. It's not Drury's job to motivate/direct the team to win or to makes the pieces fit. That's on the coach. Drury skipped over chain of command. And in fact, he took a 12-6-3 team and made it a losing team with drama, etc. I don't think the Drury, at the start of the year, would have had to worry about his job. Pete Lav would. Getting the guys to buy in on hybrid defense is his job. Then, if it can't work, Chris and Pete have to figure out if it's a coaching issue or a talent issue. Drury overstepped and made this team a dumpster fire almost literally overnight. He now should go. He had poor leadership as a Rangers captain, and now he has poor leadership upstairs.
@@JoeSantangelo-w3e exactly! Drury should’ve traded kakko a year or two ago and maybe we’d have something of worth instead of two useless pics and Borgen.
Nobody on this team is untouchable except for Igor, they could not win with this current team so that makes them all expendable. Most of the guys playing on the team right now were brought in by Sather, Groton /Davidson it’s time for Drury to tear it down and start over let’s see what Othman, Rempe, Robertson, and Sykora can do.
As much as people dont like how Drury got people traded like Trouba, all players use things like NMC's to keep them from being traded in situations when they know they are playing well below their paid value and them continue to play and get paid. So its a 2 way street. If you get paid $8 million a year for example...you better play like it. If you got paid a lot of money to do a quality job and you didnt, you would get fired or demoted. They're grown men, they can handle it.
@@davidmullins141 You can criticize your boss & keep your job…IF you’re indispensable & too valuable to be let go. Well guess what? Kakko was neither. Goodbye to him.
I just hope that’s actually how he feels and not just him trying to dodge a billet from drury. It wouldn’t be out of character for Vinny to say that but we don’t know how they actually feel in the locker room
Rangers need to get off of the hybrid system and go back to playing man like they did last year. These players just look lost on what their assignments are
I like what Drury is doing. This team is weak. They were weak in the playoffs, and they’re weak this season. If they shrink because of his threats, then perhaps they don’t belong here. Toughen up or bye-bye.
They need to put the"C" on Vinny immediately, not like the last time when it took them two years. If there's one team in the league that needs a captain right now, it's the Rangers. I mean, we have no GM and no HC
The issue is not making changes to improve the club. The issue is threatening veteran players to give up rights collectively bargained and in their contracts. It’s 2024. You can’t treat guys like garbage. You lose the team. And he has.
Bingo, you can’t operate the way he has and expect your team to want to play for you. Drury has shown himself to be a complete psycho control freak. In my opinion he needs to go
I get what tro said but why was kaako trade? was he playing bad? wasnt krieder and mika playing worst.... it doesnt make sense to trade talented kids for nothing. Just cause Kaako points production isnt going up but he was a monster in other area of the game
The Kakko move was a very bad trade. Granted, he is not the #2 overall pick we thought, but for wha they're paying him and his performance on the ice, he should have been one of the last on the list to go. Move the entire so called 1st line and Miller and Lindgren, then rebuild.
Drury is starting to burn too many trades due to the lack of coaching for their young, raw talent, and GM problems. For many years now, the Ranger's organization has had this situation. In a nutshell, that is why Blue-Shirts do not win Stanley🏆's. May you and your family have a fantastic Merry Christmas🎅🏻; best of holidays❄. Always, LetsGoRangers🤘🏼!
warning shot? brother, we already have bodies on the floor. Drury did this to himself and the players are doing it to themselves too. I'm normally pro-player when it comes to management, but this time i think both sides are witless and gutless and I need to take a break from this team.
The Rangers haven’t had a Captain in 3 years. Trouba wasn’t a captain. The Rangers have a glaring problem which is giving up 40 shots per game to bad teams. Defense needs to be overhauled. No toughness anywhere so Drury getting rid of a forward that really hasn’t done much for a big defender is a good move in my book. Maybe more ice time in Seattle will spark Kakko’s career. With Miller and Trouba out of the lineup I believe the Rangers are better off. I hope Miller never comes back the guy is soft and lackadaisical.
This season is an assisted Johnstown style suicide. In large part caused, enabled and encouraged by the GM. Anyone that's a veteran understands morale - is this leadership? As for those players giving 10% effort - there are literally thousands of guys in the AHL/ECHL/KHL /European leagues that would give anything to wear an Original Six Jersey and play on the big stage. The softness and unprofessional behavior has likely killed this season... And 100% was self inflicted.
Arent those threats what vot the Rangers team where they are now ? According to the NY POST UT WAS POSITIVE MEETING, NOT WHAT YOUR PROMOTING .... AT ALL !
Drury makes big league mistakes as well not just the players. He wasted a million dollars on Kane, how'd that work out he played what 5 games. He threatened Trouba that makes him a puss. Now he's gets rid of of Kakko, and has pretty much the whole roster on the table. Bergen is what the worst defenceman in the league. How about we get rid of Drury he's the problem
You do nothing as a high paid professional hockey player.. you get moved ! Its a business its not your elementary school lunch room! Grow a set and bust your ass and earn your money win a F-ing game
You’re the guy who’s had excuse after excuse for Kakko’s non performance throughout the last 6 years. Guy was chosen 2nd overall to score goals, that being said he’s averaged 10 huge goals a year.. what type of player were you expecting in return, A guy like Celebrini A guy like Michkov A guy like Caufield
Trocheck just auditioning to be Captain with Drury & Lavvy , Trochek trying to be a leader by betraying teammates won't last long as Rangers Plummet into oblivion ! Darius , are you on the MSG payroll ?
Oh Gawd! You’re claiming to have a closer read on the pulse of the team than Trocheck does? It’s one thing to 2nd guess a trade. But an ordinary fan acting like he has an understanding of the locker room dynamics? Talk about delusional.
Kakko trade seemed vindictive rather than designed to improve the team. Nothing suggests Drury is a good GM.
I could argue Drury is doing everything he can to make the NYR suck this year... for whatever reason.
Kakko has been incredibly underwhelming his entire time with the Rangers considering his draft status. Nothing Kakko did this year indicates that he was going to turn into completely different player. Matthew Olivier from the Blue Jackets has as many pts as Kakko FFS.

Don’t think I watched your videos until this season. You are my favorite place to get rangers news. Keep making great content.
Dude stop backing Drury’s psycho tactics and threats. How you can support the way he’s done things is absolutely mindblowing to me
Surprised at Vinny!
THANK YOU!!!!!
All Drury has proved as a GM is that he has NO idea what it takes/means and HOW to be a competent GM!🤬👎
Vinny should be our new captain my man.
I agree. But I think we need to get rid of Kreider, Miller, and Lindgren.
absolutely
Miller and Lindgren...yea, ship em! But Kreids? Not just yet. Unless he can bring in some hefty trade pull.
@@SpaceYourFaceInCodes he’s one of the problems in the locker room. He has to go.
@@VanWailenthe first one who should go is drury
FINALLY!! We have a character guy, who doesn’t blame management! Way to lead, Vincent! Now, let’s win a few.

Washed up in 2-3 years with a shitty contract. Why not ?

almost 5k subs!
Love what trocheck said and if drury said that I love that too
Kakko had 51/2 years of chances ..if he wasn’t a number 2 pick ,he would have been gone a long time ago …LGR
@@JoeSantangelo-w3e exactly! Drury should’ve traded kakko a year or two ago and maybe we’d have something of worth instead of two useless pics and Borgen.
If Kakko didn't have that 2OA albatross around his neck he would be just a decent 3rd line player.
I'd like to see Kreider in Buffalo. Could he help all of Buffalo's young/immature players?
I'm suspicious of Trocheck's motivation here.
I'll believe Drury is moving in the right direction when he sits Zibanajad for a game.
Nobody on this team is untouchable except for Igor, they could not win with this current team so that makes them all expendable.

Forgot about Cuylie.
Fire Drury then commence with the fire sale.

You know what Drury said to the team as GM is the same sentiment he would use as a player in the locker room... calling out guys to step it up.
@@EattheApple666 I can appreciate his honesty but his approach and his poor judgment are not good. He made a lot of bad moves.
Thats how it supposed to go. If you not gonna do your job then you have to go. Thats how it goes in every job.
What normal employee would directly criticize their manager and expect to still have a job at the end of the day?
I did and do.
@@alouie001 it’s not that. Rumors during the summer were that Drury wanted to move him in the summer but he couldn’t for some crazy reason.
I do If there is need
What is this the ussr? You criticize and they fire you and throw you in the gulag? That’s bs
