Things That Chris Drury Has Done Right With The Rangers  cover image

Six things Rangers General Manager Chris Drury has done right so far this offseason:

1. Moving on from Chris Kreider. Although tough, it was something that had to be done. 

2. Secured the second half of his top defensive pair. He landed Vladislav Gavrikov in free agency, and signed him to a 7x$7M AAV contract. 

3. Flipped K’Andre Miller for Scott Morrow, a conditional first round pick and second round pick both in 2026. The best trade of his tenure. 

4. “Very Professional.” The words used by Ian Pulver, K’Andre Miller’s agent - who also represents Barclay Goodrow - on how the trade was handled. 

5. Extending Will Cuylle, Matt Rempe, and Adam Edstrom. All two year bridge-deals, that benefit both the top and bottom six. 

6. Selecting Malcolm Spence with the 43th overall pick. Drury drafted a projected first round talent without a first round pick.
