Confirmed with Link: Chris Drury Promoted to Associate General Manager

[Machinehead]

I've been promoted from HF poster to HF post-contributor.

 

[CasusBelli]

I've been promoted from HF poster to HF post-contributor.

And I from HF Analyst Poster II to HF Associate Poster I. No bonus thanks to COVID.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Is Drury good even? I don't even know what he does.

 

[egelband]

I’ll take the over... can’t see Gorton going through the rebuild then turning over the reigns without trying to win a cup. I’m thinking 5 more seasons. In the meantime they’ll overpay Drury in his current role and he’ll take it to stay home... unless maybe a golden goose gig becomes available. Something like Boston.

I think he would take a promotion, though. President is certainly getting plenty of credit if they win a cup. (Obviously many miles to walk before that happens )

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I could see JD walking away at some point in the future with Gorton becoming president and Drury GM.

It sounds like a good move for both - Crosby/Malkin aren’t getting any younger and that will eventually be a tough rebuild for a fan base used to contending.

Well I certainly hope not. JD just came, I can't imagine he is leaving anytime in the near future.

That last part is accurate

Wiggum(gorts): Well that's some good work, Lou. You'll make Sargent for this.

Lou(drury): I already am sargent.

Wiggum(gorts): Quiet Lou! Or I will best you down to Sargent so fast, it'll make your head spin!

He is good at getting the Rangers to pay him during and after his playing days.

Yeah idk what he does but good for him getting the promotion.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Outside of his decline towards the end and never really matching his salary, is there a negative thing to say about Drury?

I wouldn't even put that on Drury. He was offered that contract. He'd be an idiot not to sign it. Just like Dan Boyle accepted 9m over 2 years at age 38

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Great move now Gomez can fill the vacant Assistant GM position.

Those two will forever be tied to the hip in my mind.

 

[will1066]

beercheering at moment bigbellymen at team headquarters imo take this kind of assistant general manager and put herodress up on him like lafresgue

 

[nyr2k2]

There were heated discussions here about who should play with Jagr.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

So instead of Assistant GM he is Associate GM?

 

[17futurecap]

Dwight Schrute	Okay, you know what? This isn't working because uh, I'm not nervous in front of them, they're my subordinates.
Jim Halpert:	Uh, no we're not.
Dwight Schrute:	Ah, yes you are, I am assistant regional manger.
Jim Halpert:	Which means absolutely nothing.
Dwight Schrute:	Michael can you explain?
Michael Scott:	Well, it's mostly made up.. so..

They gonna carry JD out on a gurney with a sheet over his head. He is never leaving. Groton on the other hand might wanna start looking for plastic drop cloths on the floor of the rooms he walks into for meetings that he is summoned to.

Wow, that's kind words, professor.

I'll say this. JD was in full poker face mode during the ADA Q&A video. The only tell he made was when his neck almost snapped in half looking in Gortons directing when the reporter asked about Gorts initial scouting and acquiring Tony from AZ in the Stepan trade.

Cue the trolls that will say that he is going to ruin that team they way he "ruined" Hartford

 

[True Blue]

He is good at getting the Rangers to pay him during and after his playing days.

Yeah idk what he does but good for him getting the promotion.

Does every CEO run a company by him/herself?

but will this ruin his Memorial Day Weekend??? that is the big issue here.

It might put a crimp into his plans, yes.

I wasn't knocking him and understand that. I was factually saying I don't know what exactly he does in his role.
