Barry Trotz had no wish to comment on the Rangers’ management upheaval. The Islanders coach just knows what’s important to him.
"I’ve decided to take all my decisions based on the people you work with," Trotz said before Thursday night’s game against the Devils at Nassau Coliseum. "I have no comment on what was done across the river."
It was announced Wednesday that Rangers associate general manager and former captain Chris Drury would replace both president John Davidson and general manager Jeff Gorton, who were fired in what was seen around the NHL as a surprise move.
