the more I have thought about it, I think its frightening that Kakko would get scratched in such a big game, and I have a hard time believing it's just because Gallant is stupid.

somebody told me off the record that they watched film of him in games 4 and 5 and were infuriated with his play

He showed some flashes, but was mostly a passenger. I have no problem with GG scratching him for a better player than Hunt though, especially if Strome was in such bad shape.
At the breakup he should have something to the effect that he wasn't happy with his play for the reason Kakko was scratched.
I think Ryan had a good explanation the other day.

Drury says they're still waiting to find out if Ryan Strome will need surgery for that pelvis injury. #NYR

Drury on Laf: "He really took some big steps after the all-star break, at least in my opinion. He found a different level."

Had similar thoughts on Chytil. Sounds very pleased with their development and potential to play bigger roles next season. #NYR

Drury on Kakko:

"Kakko is an all-world player – a young player who’s still developing. ... He and I had a real good discussion before he left yesterday."

On the scratch decision: "It’s Turk’s lineup card and I support the decision he made."

Almost like he is buttering him up for a trade “all
World player” lol, even the biggest rangers homers wouldn’t say that

Per usual, Drury declined to discuss any contract negotiations. But he said this about 2C as a summer priority:

"It’s a very important position for us and for any team. Centers are hard to get... That's one we're looking at, we've been looking at & we continue to discuss."

Arthur Staple writes in The Athletic that Jacob Trouba was “about to be named Captain” prior to this past season and then someone “above” Gerard Gallant decided to go with the six alternate Captains.

Staple writes that the decision may also have come from “above” Chris Drury as well. (The Athletic)

Drury did offer this hint on Laf possibly shifting to RW: "His play will dictate what line he's on. As you all know, there's nothing guaranteed, but he's a heck of a player w/ a bright future. If he ends up playing on the right in the top 6, I think we’ll be a pretty good team."

I feel like this is all because he hasn’t been very physical. Like shying away from the dirty areas, avoiding contact, weak on board battles, that sort of thing. And that’s why he was scratched

Especially with pelvis surgery looming. Is any team going nuts to get him? It’s probably a tough break for him literally right before UFA

My prediction is the Hawks sign him so he plays with his brother

Jan, great article. But I have to say gg sitting kk is not a fireable offense. Granted it was a head scratcher and he should have communicated to kk. It’s not like we scratched zib. Kk is a nice player but a kid his size has habit of playing small at times. Love the kid. He along with miller need to grow a mean streak. Still love the boys and really excited for the future.

No more than anyone else has. But anyone who has the pedigree that she does is most certainly worth a look and I like the team not limiting who they bring in. They did similar with Amanda Kessel. What I also want is full time skating coach, like Barbara Underhill, who was with the team in the past and is now with the Lightning.

Remember when Brian Boyle took skating lessons. He really improved. There are a number of Rangers that can use help in those areas. Laf for one can improve as also kk.

Seattle has been rumored to want him all last season.
