[FULL EPISODE] Drury Holds the Line: Rangers Deadline Breakdown with Pierre McGuire

The Rangers didn't blow things up at the trade deadline — and Pierre McGuire is here to explain why that might actually be the right call. We break down every move New York has made in their retool, dig into why Vincent Trocheck stayed put, and sit down with Pierre to get his unfiltered take on where this franchise is headed. He weighs in on Chris Drury's deadline discipline, what he sees in Gabe Perreault's future, whether Alexis Lafreniere is finally turning a corner, why the Brennan Othmann experiment ran its course, and what Braden Schneider and Scott Morrow need to become for this team. Plus — the Adam Fox contract situation is coming, and nobody's pretending it isn't. #rangers #NYRangers #NHL
