Drury's looking at everything comments were made before Sullivan became available. From what I read, the organization felt Sullivan was the no-brainer choice to appoint behind the Blueshirts bench. His availability changed everything, and I get it. I would have liked Torts to join him, but I don't think it's a major issue he didn't.
As for playing/developing kids, the Penguins only made three first-round picks during Sullivan’s decade with the organization. They were/are an organization that was in constant go for it mode, even though they shouldn't have been the past few seasons.
On Dolan as an owner, money is not an issue at all, the guy spends money like crazy. Dolan is a terrible owner because he gets involved too much and is meddlesome, especially earlier in his tenure, he's impulsive, I also have to think he applies pressure on the Knicks/Rangers to sign fat cat big name stars instead of building correctly. Put that altogether, and since he took over in 97, combined they have zero titles in 28 years. I do agree, he does spend money, no argument there.
The Rangers also re-signed Parssinen to a two-year extension worth $1.25M per, and soon the important roster work will begin.

CK should have had surgery on his back, he did himself and the Rangers no favors trying to play through it. He may not be able to medically clear a trade even if another team has interest. I was done with Lav when he didn't have Rempe's back for being a little too physical last post season, should always have his player's back and not let the NHL use a totally different standard for punishment because the Rangers finally have a legit enforcer.
