Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- James Dolan is handing over control of the New York Rangers to his 32-year-old son, Quentin Dolan, who will assume the roles of president, chief operating officer, and alternate governor.
- Quentin Dolan has been involved with the Rangers and Knicks organizations, notably overseeing Player Performance and Science, and played a key role during the Knicks' recent NBA championship run.
- Despite James Dolan's long tenure since 1999, the Rangers have struggled recently, missing the playoffs for two consecutive seasons and not winning a Stanley Cup since 1994.
- Rangers general manager Chris Drury will retain his hockey operations duties, having already made several offseason moves, including acquiring Pavel Dorofeyev and trading Vincent Trocheck.
- The Rangers possess promising talent such as Mika Zibanejad, Adam Fox, Igor Shesterkin, and rookie Gabe Perreault, but significant progress is needed for the team to return to playoff contention.
