"We wanted to take a moment to connect with our loyal and passionate fanbase. We know and feel your disappointment with how the season has gone to this point. We are just as frustrated and want nothing more than to deliver an on-ice product you can be proud of it's what drives us every day. No one in the organization is happy with what has transpired from management, to coaches, to players."
"Over the last few years, we've had some successes and moments to cherish, but ultimately it was not the end goal. We are working relentlessly every day to bring a Stanley Cup back to New York because that is what our fans deserve. With our position in the standings and injuries to key players this season, we must be honest and realistic about our situation."
"We are not going to stand pat a shift will give us the ability to be smart and opportunistic as we retool the team. This will not be a rebuild. This will be a retool built around our core players and prospects. We will target players that bring tenacity, skill, speed, and a winning pedigree with a focus on obtaining young players, draft picks, and cap space to allow us flexibility moving forward."
The New York Rangers have lost five consecutive games, including two recent blowout losses, prompting management to change course publicly. General manager Chris Drury announced a roster retool centered on core players and prospects rather than a full rebuild. The plan emphasizes acquiring young players, draft picks, and cap space to increase flexibility. The team will seek players who bring tenacity, skill, speed, and a winning pedigree. Management acknowledged frustrations across the organization and noted injuries and standings position as reasons for the shift. Longtime players may be traded despite past contributions and are described as part of the franchise family.
