I know that they said Gorton is the favorite but I want JD. I am sure he will get it done on the first try.
I'd much rather have JD. Columbus will be loaded next year. They sucked last year most of the year. Their young players were still developing. They had some injuries. They needed to make a few moves. JD constantly is stockpiling picks and young players.
I used to really be mad at Glen Sather with his ludicrous salaries for players who were not able to bring Stanley Cups to the New York Rangers. Then it was how he put the Rangers together, year after year......completely changing the makeup of the team every year. It brought some very good teams and some stinkers, but he tried BUT NOT WITH THE SUCCESS HE BROUGHT TO EDMONTON. But then again, the Rangers never had the opportunity to draft extremely high under his tenure. Fifteen years of empty hopes and heart wrenching playoff losses. And every year more roster changes with the hope that "this year will be our year". IT IS TIME. I am no longer angry nor bitter, yet it is time for him to relinquish his role and hand it to someone who can lead the Rangers into a better future. I do hope he leaves. He tried mightily. Fifteen years........it is time. And note to moderator, NYR31.....to call me an "insufferable clown"......should merit an apology, if anything.
