The New York Rangers' current performance issues reveal a complex interplay of decisions over the years, particularly surrounding player drafts and management. While General Manager Chris Drury receives some criticism, the roots lie deeper, with former management under Jeff Gorton also playing a significant role in shaping the team's culture. A notable factor includes bad luck in drafting, especially with top players like Kakko and Lafreniere failing to meet expectations, and the detrimental effects of David Quinn's coaching on player development.
Quinn's tenure is marked by a lack of effective development, especially with high-potential players like Kakko and Lafreniere, leading to frustration among fans.
While Chris Drury has faced criticism for the Rangers' current struggles, much of the blame can also be attributed to previous management decisions, particularly by Jeff Gorton.
