As is often the case with major New York Rangers updates, national insiders Elliotte Friedman and Emily Kaplan delivered significant news Monday afternoon.
And then Vince added his own insights, contributing further to the unfolding story.
And now we find ourselves in this position.
There’s a lot to break down, but let’s start with the key detail: the names mentioned in this report.
It seems safe to assume—again, just my take—that this information came from within the walls of Madison Square Garden. National media outlets often lack the deep understanding and insight when it comes to Rangers’ news, so it would be quite unusual for such specific details to come from an external source.
This makes the names involved particularly intriguing. As I tweeted:
If this information did, in fact, come from within the Rangers’ organization (again, this is just my speculation), then the inclusion of Jacob Trouba’s name is especially noteworthy. It not only reignites the drama from this past summer—a period that was chaotic in its own right—but it also raises questions about how the Rangers are viewing their leadership structure moving forward.
Regardless of Trouba’s performance on the ice, there have been ongoing whispers within the organization about dissatisfaction with Chris Drury’s methods. As I pointed out this summer, though—tough luck.
