“I think he’s got a chance to be a #1. A #1 defenseman…He's one of the guys that is close to NHL ready." Central scouting on Chase Reid

If the #NYR hold 3rd overall post lottery, and McKenna/Stenberg go, Drury has to pick Chase Reid. High-end talent, 6'2, RHD, can skate and move the puck. Plus, Drury and his cronies have a book on him already. Grew up in the USA hockey system and is committed to MSU next year.

I’m so done with pizza boy.

According to this reporting, #NYR AGM Ryan Martin is in the mix for both the Toronto and Nashville GM roles.

Boy, Carson Carels is an absolute bruiser. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound defender has firmly inserted himself into the conversation as one of the top defencemen in this year’s class. If his name isn’t the first called among defenders in June, don't expect to wait much longer.

The NHL announced today that the 2026 #NHLDraft Lottery will be held on Tuesday, May 5 and conducted at NHL Network’s Secaucus, N.J., studio. The event will be broadcast live on @ESPN, Sportsnet and TVA Sports at a time to be announced. More details: media.nhl.com/public/news/19…

"I'm coming for you, and i'm gonna f*cking kill you." It appears Nic Dowd will be coming for Logan Cooley in Game 2.

At a time when #NYR fans deserve answers, GM Chris Drury isn’t providing many. My latest examines why transparency should matter, particularly when the team is losing, and how the lack of it could further diminish public confidence that’s already shaken👇🏼 nytimes.com/athletic/72096…

Darren Dreger on First Up says Ryan Martin is talking to the Leafs this week. My opinion, but that sounds like Martin is one of the finalists for the Leafs GM position.

Ryan Martin has been Drury’s right hand man and cap guy since 2021. #NYR

Great points here. Where the hell has Mike Gillis been for like a decade?

Re: Schneider "Drury is believed to be seeking a scoring forward, according to two league sources, with the San Jose Sharks among the forward-rich, defense-needy teams to watch." #NYR nytimes.com/athletic/72195… via @NYTimes

Since 2022, Ryan Martin has been passed over 4 times (could be 5 soon with NSH) for a GM gig — ANA, SJS, PIT, and TOR. He was promoted by Drury from assistant GM to associate GM in September to help keep him here as long as possible. #NYR

The conditions on the Rangers-Kings Artemi Panarin trade will be resolved with Los Angeles' first round loss. The trade: Artemi Panarin (50% retained) for Liam Greentree and LA's '26 third. The third won't be upgraded to a second, which it would've been w/ an LA series win.
