Gorton’s stock on rise. Since left Rangers made some smart moves in Montreal.
Most notably enticing Marty St. Louis to coach Habs, who has been great at developing the young players.
Downgrade from Gorton to Drury looks worse & worse as time goes on.

Firing Gorton and JD was the beginning of the end
Habs looked awesome in their last game. Fast, young, hard hitting, tough.
Maybe take a look back at some of those picks that Gorts made during his time with NYR and how many of them ended up being busts and rethink how much of a “downgrade” Drury is.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with all this Gorton glaze.
I’m not a fan of Drury’s either but Gorton did plenty wrong in New York- the JT Miller trade and Krav/Lias draft whiffs come to mind. His (or Kent Hughes’- whatever) team also passed on Michkov in Montreal.
The Habs barely made it in and have won one game so far. They’re fun to watch, but being a fun, flashy team has never been enough to win in the playoffs (as we know). Let’s see if they can make it respectable before praising Gorton like he’s hockey management Jesus.
Marty seems like a good coaching hire and a great dude overall though.
The rebuild was coming along well. Two things happened: the Wilson game and Gorton and Davidson objecting to Dolan’s letter to the league about what, the Wilson game.
He looks like Jimmy from the Sopranos.
