During the beginning of the 2024-25 season, Drury was not happy with the way the Rangers were playing, so he sent out a league-wide memo indicating his desire to shake up the roster and make trades. Ultimately, the Rangers missed the playoffs and now major change could very well be on the horizon. “The Rangers are considering an awful lot of things,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said.

Chris Drury has got a lot out there and he basically wants to know if you want to talk to them about something, just reach out because he’s gotta know everything that's on the table for him.” Over the course of the 2024-25 campaign, Drury traded away multiple players including Jacob Trouba, Kaapo Kakko, Filip Chytil, Ryan Lindgren, and Jimmy Vesey. Drury already made a big move to start the offseason by firing Peter Laviolette and hiring Mike Sullivan to be the Rangers’ head coach. There are a ton of questions when it comes to how the Rangers’ roster is currently constructed and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if Drury continued his pursuit of completely re-shaping the team’s core.
