In a scathing critique of the New York Rangers' front office, a recent commentary has sparked debate among hockey fans, suggesting that the team's general manager, Chris Drury, is following in the footsteps of a similar "failing up" trend. Steve Yzerman, the legendary former Detroit Red Wings executive, has been criticized for his tenure with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he oversaw a series of questionable moves. Now, it appears the Rangers are facing similar scrutiny, with some questioning Drury's ability to lead the team back to playoff success. As the Rangers continue to struggle, fans are left wondering if Drury's tenure will be marked by a similar pattern of missed opportunities and poor decision-making.

Steve Yzerman "failing up?" Spot on. Rangers returning to the playoffs? Not so much.
