It took a good half-year for Chris Drury to unload the unwanted Chris Kreider.
Starting today it will take just about a rousing month or two for the Rangers GM-In-Charge-Of-Fumigation to rid the stench in his roster.
Right now I dare say that the only genuine "Untouchable" on the team is Igor Shesterkin. And that's only because Drury acted impetuously in not only giving Iggy The Bank but the keys to all vaults.
If you think Breadman Panarin is an "Untouchable," think again. Ditto for Adam Fox, once considered Bonnie Prince They Can't Touch Me.
Go right down the line: Sergeant Disappointment, Big Al Lafrenière, can be had and, yeah, even Glory Boy Will Cuylle.
From what The Maven has been told, this Rangers house-cleaning will be more like a skyscraper razing.
You'd better believe that Drury is working his cards now but nothing concrete will happen until the playoffs end and the annual Draft completed. Then, Beware, Brother, Beware!
If you have a favorite Ranger – like you once did with Chris Kreider – be prepared to sing a chorus of "Bye-Bye, Baby – You Once Were My Baby." Your guy could be crackin' them up next season as a Kraken.
And don't say The Maven didn't warn you.
P.S. Just about the only other guy who's likely to be spared is the spare goalie Jon Quick. And – y'know what? I'm not even sure about him!
