The Rangers are an absolute mess as of late, and players have begun revolting against their GM. Now, an NHL insider has confirmed the head coach's fate. The New York Rangers had some fireworks to open up the 2024-25 season but have since suffered a major slump, going just 3-10-0 across their last 13. A team that once contended now seems to be unraveling at the seams. The problems in New York run deeper than expected, according to NHL analyst Steve Dangle. A point of contention is <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/new-york-rangers/new-york-rangers-gm-responds-to-claims-that-he-threatened-jacob-trouba-to-waive-his-no-trade-clause' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>GM Chris Drury's decision-making</a> regarding Barclay Goodrow's departure, as well as that of Jacob Trouba. There was a players-only meeting and it was not to discuss Peter Laviolette...that relationship is fine...Their main gripe is Chris Drury...They want him to either change his ways or be gone. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BaldPanarin/status/1868835345850306596'> </a></blockquote></div> Despite having San Jose Sharks on his no-trade list, Chris Drury waived <a href='https://www.nhl.com/sharks/player/barclay-goodrow-8476624' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Barclay Goodrow</a>, reportedly as a favor to a friend in San Jose, knowing full well the Sharks would claim him. Another controversy involves former captain Jacob Trouba.

The end of Trouba's tenure in New York did not go well for either party, and Steve Dangle believes his comments reveal underlying tension. Dangle's co-host even speculates that the Rangers have quiet quit, noting that recent lackluster efforts may be a sign of discontent with Drury. If it is true, then the team's situation may worsen unless drastic changes are made. One rumored move is firing head coach Peter Laviolette. However, Larry Brooks of 'The New York Post' reported that the Rangers are hesitant to replace Peter Laviolette. After firing David Quinn four years ago and Gerard Gallant two years ago, management is wary of scapegoating another coach when the roster itself may be the core issue, which likely means Laviolette's future with the team is safe. The hierarchy has no stomach to fire Laviolette after firing Gerard Gallant two years ago and David Quinn four years ago. There is no stomach to affix the blame on yet another coach instead of taking care of the coach-averse core. - Larry Brooks <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/StanFischler/status/1868245741774184751'> </a></blockquote></div> The Rangers have a chance to rebound tonight against the last-place Nashville Predators in the Central Division. After losing two in a row to the Kings and Blues, it's an ideal time to flip the script. Whether they can take advantage, or whether their slide continues, remains to be seen.
