Hank is just excellent at anything he does. From what I understand he’s well liked in the hockey world. Familiar with the org, Dolan and well it’s Hank

As long as Dolan resides at the top of the heap, it matters not who the GM is.
shoulda promoted Mike Grier as GM when he was still with the Rangers. Timeline would’ve been different
I would not wish that on him or Mess. I feel for Sullivan who has to deal with this trash roster Drury built. They will ruin the upcoming draft.
I’m usually not sentimental when it comes to fandom and all that but I don’t want to be in a position in 3-7 years where we’re calling Hank a fucking idiot that needs to get fired. Drury had no rep or legacy here to tarnish. Hank is and was beloved. Let’s keep it that way.
I hope this is satire because otherwise it’s a ridiculous idea. If someone is a superb office worker does that qualify them to become a lead architect for office buildings?
Edited for grammar.
The guys got a heart condition, do you really want to do that to him.
Why would he do that? Right now he has a pretty cushy job, makes a nice paycheck, doesn’t really need the money, and can just enjoy hockey. As a GM, of any team but especially the Rangers right now, life would suck.
Bro I would petition to have Dennis Potvin appointed GM over that moron.
No
Sorry but Hank is not GM material. Rather see Messier than him
NO. HARD NO.
I DO NOT want to be in a position where I might have to hate him and want him fired. Let Hank be Hank.
The best GM’s these days are generally speaking not ex-players.
“Yeah no.” – Hank
NO bc I don’t want to hate him
Valli imo is the best candidate for non retreads. The guy knows modern hockey so well and can diagnose issues and suggest fixes that actually work.
Valli for me
Just like Gretzky was a great coach, since he was an incredible player?
I think Steve Valiquette would be really good at it.
Jeff Groton was wonderful. Look at the Canadiens. Groton fixed this team after Sather. Dolan screwed it all up by overreacting to Tom Wilson’s antics.
No. We as fans will turn sour on him like everyone else. We have so many non working parts and I don’t want to taint my adoration for him just because most are disappointed in the team, GM, and owner.
Terrible idea, he doesn’t deserve to be let down by a this organization again.
And if he becomes GM we’re gonna have people saying what a shit job he’s doing and calling to fire him, and he doesn’t deserve that either.
AOBD
I cant wait to see people say “Fire Lundqvist”
No. If he does something sometime doesn’t like, it’ll ruin the love for him.
The last thing we need is to have a franchise icon’s legacy become tarnished.
I also seriously doubt that Hank would want that kind of stress at this point in his life. He has comfy broadcasting gigs, got elected into the Hall of Fame less than three years ago, and also has two very young kids.
Let the man live.
Why would Henrik want this? He made a boatload in his playing career and now has a cushy job in broadcasting that (according to his IG) allows him to take incredible vacations year round. I’d rather Steve Valiquette!
There’s zero reason he’d be open to doing this.
Sorry I was stoned and thought it was a good idea
Yea let’s make Eli Manning the GM of the Giants while we’re at it too.
If we are going to pick a Ranger legend let it be Messier.
Being a successful GM requires a range of skill sets, none of which include being an exceptional goalie.
We don’t want to hate our hero
I’ll sign. It doesn’t even have to be Hank. It can be Brian Daboll…or a traffic cone…or Doug the ostrich. Literally ANYTHING or ANYONE not named Chris Drury or someone that looks like him.
