One day after leaving the San Jose Sharks’ assistant GM role, Ryane Clowe has also signed a contract to work as an assistant to Drury.
Following the two AGM promotions and one AGM hire, the Blueshirts also announced the hiring of former player Blake Wheeler to a front office role as well.

He has now begun his new role with the Rangers as hockey operations adviser.
