Confirmed with Link: Is Glen Sather Stepping Down? [UPDATE: Yes]

[effen]

I think whoever gets hired to be the new President is going to have to be on board for a few more years of Gorton

Bingo

What about Leafs Assistant GMs Brandon Pridham or Laurence Gilman? I hope the Rangers would interview both of them at least.

 

[Ola]

I highly doubt CBJ gave them permission to interview during/right before playoffs.

Why?

 

[True Blue]

I hope whomever comes in as president wipes the slate clean and starts all over.

This is a joke, right?

Why? So the Rangers can waste all their money on 45 goal scorers? No thank you.

More and more I read the tea leaves, more I see Gorton wearing two hats for several years.

That was my first impression when the news that Sather was stepping aside came out

I think that they will bring some people in to interview, but in the end I believe that this will be Gorton's show. He is building the team with a vision. I think that he is going to get a chance to expand that vision to the entire organization.

Because Pridham is the one who set up what the salary cap is for the current CBA, I think him being the guy who is running the cap/business side while Gorton runs the hockey ops would be a solid combo. Rather have that than JD honestly.

I like Pridham, I think before he becomes a president he should become a gm first. Maybe if they were to promote Jg to president they could bring Pridham in as gm.

I was joking. I actually like 45 goal scorers.

Davidson didn't say he isn't interested in the job.

Hes going to go from having the team with the worst farm in the league to a team with the best one in 2 years time.

Thats pretty exceptional. Their first line center was also acquired by him, their best D this season? Yup, also by him, both of which were pretty unpopular moves.

They had to rebuild because they blew their wad trying to get a cup when they were close. No one is at fault for that (Sather, if you want to point fingers at anyone), because if there is a time to do that, that is the time to do it.

I’m way behind in this thread... but terrific post.

If it isn't JD then I think Gorton becomes President/GM.

And I'm sure the Rangers are doing their due diligence and interviewing others even though it hasn't become public knowledge.

Yeah hes coming.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

We'll here we go...Jackets are out, I would expect before the end of the week JD is back with the Rangers...sooner than later.

[Mac n Gs]

Have to figure he’ll get the week for CBJ breakup and media day, and then we’ll start seeing any movement regarding JD, right?

Likely. The dust is gonna settle, then things will pick up.

Further proof that the best thing to do is give Gorton both titles.

Why is this further proof?

JD has experienced success in both STL and CBJ.

I think he is the right guy at the right time to join Gorton.

I dont think...dont the Rangers have their big internal meeting very soon? I would assume they want him there for that.

Still think hes signed by the end of the week.

I think they're going on as we speak.

I think finding someone who can handle the press a bit for Gorton would be a good move. If for nothing else, it all allows Gorton to concentrate on other duties
