Chris Drury was one of the most sought after executives in the NHL. Former Rangers GM, Jeff Gorton was a guest on the Cam and Strick Podcast and spoke about his one time assistant.
“I knew he’d be a GM. [Drury] had a ton of teams calling for him – asking for permission to talk to him, and rightly so,” Gorton said. “He’s a hard worker, he’s played, he’s won, he’s dialed in and focused on what he wants . He’s gonna be good.”
