He lived his dream of playing for the Blueshirts, and is now shaping the future of the team for the past several seasons. His career came to an end in 2011 after a knee issue promoted a buyout.

As to why Drury has turned down another NHL team for a GM job interview, it seems he wants to be here when the Rangers start to contend. That was reiterated to me but someone in the organization as well.
