Probably the owner never gained trust in the GM for letting Zuccarello go
Wrong move... That statement was the right statement and an overdue statement. The league is a complete joke when it comes to player safety.
Hagbard's Second Law strikes again.
I get that Twitter is never the preferred escalation channel, but whatever signals teams have been sending "internally" clearly haven't been making it through.
Yeah... sure... this is a weak attempt at saving face.
If it was unrelated, they would've waited at least 2 weeks since their season is already over.

More truth in this than you think.
NYR owner James Dolan, who's also a country music artist, went to Norway and invited Mats to a festival there. I'm sure they had a great time
Said the fans of the team. Everyone outside of New York tried to tell them things aren't "that easy".
Unbelievable delusion is usually a strong alternative to lying and malice, but the timing on this one makes it hard not to assume the latter.

I don't buy this one, I'm sure the "Wilson case" has something to do with it.
First, very strange to fire both the GM and the president just because they didn't make the playoffs this season.
Second, head coach David Quinn is still there.
There's reports that the two fired didn't agree with Jim Dolan, & christine d releasing that statement
Apparently they are like Kevin weeks who blasted rangers for releasing statement, & praised players safety department
Seems Kevin weeks will always be a company line man
That does seem possible. It still seems goofy to fire them after a 3-year rebuild that's mostly gone alright and seems to be trending up, but the Rangers haven't exactly been drama-free either. Regardless, if things were already headed this way the Wilson thing probably would have accelerated the timeline.
I don't believe for a second that they weren't aware of that tweet until after the firing, though.
The report was that they weren't aware of the tweet until after the posting, not after the firing.

Yeah well Dolan has been waiting for a chance to get rid of Gorton, who also traded fan favorite Zucc for two conditional 1st round picks and both failed. And now Zucc is having his best season ever
Ah, I was conflating it with Dreger's tweet about the firing being unrelated to the tweet. I can believe that ownership didn't see it coming until it was already out there.

There's an interview with NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly. He said there's been no communication between the league and the Rangers after the statement. Will not say if the Rangers will be fined or not. But he did say that the league will not accept a personal attack on George Parros, who's doing a fabulous job, according to Daly.
An hour after this interview the Rangers fired Gorton and Davidson...interesting.
