Rangers, GM Chris Drury losing fans' faith with lack of transparency

There are a few dates on the NHL calendar when my inbox and social notifications fill with versions of the same questions from New York Rangers fans.“When is Chris Drury talking?” and “Where can I watch it?”My responses are generally, “I’m not sure yet,” and, “Nowhere, unfortunately.”While front-office executives across the league typically schedule face-to-face media availabilities around notable events — trade deadline, draft and end of season, as a few examples — Drury is the only general manager who doesn’t regularly hold solo, in-person news conferences. The last one came in September 2023, with Drury’s only other appearances taking place in NHL-mandated group settings and occasionally alongside his team’s coach.Advertisement
