Nepotism is not anything new.
Rich guy hires his rich guy buddy.
As far as Dolan, all you really want from a sports owner is to be willing to invest money and not meddle too much. Dolan has always been willing to invest the money. Not just on players, but on facilities, accomodations etc.
I couldn't have said it better.
I understand that many Rangers fans are also Knick fans, but you need to be able to look at the two teams independently.
The Knicks are a train wreck largely because of Isaiah Thomas and Dolan's role in keeping him around.
The Rangers are completely different. As another poster pointed out, it may be because he doesn't feel he knows enough to meddle, but who cares. Dolan does everything you could possibly ask of him as owner of the Rangers.
This organization is second to none in money expended on facilities, coaching staff, support staff, doctors, scouting, etc. There may be a salary cap in hockey, but Dolan spends to the max on everything outside the cap that also contributes to a winning club. We always spend to the cap, and have in the past eaten huge contracts to help free up additional cap. Dolan writes every check, and stays out of team business almost entirely.
How is that not the definition of a good owner? People want to hate the guy because he's a known dbag that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and destroyed the Knicks. All of which has absolutely nothing to do with his handling of the Rangers.
