Um, how the hell does Glen Sather still have a job?  If anyone was going to be fired, it should've been him.  I'm not the biggest fan of Torts but you know it wasn't his decision to keep chasing after the big star players.  Torts has done so much with the younger players and role player types.  Perhaps if Sather stopped caving into the need to add a huge player every season, then we wouldn't be having this convo. 
 
So how long before Lindy Ruff is announced as new head coach of the Rangers?

They need to fire everyone. Dolan needs to get fired, Sather, Sullivan. 
 
I'm okay with Torts though, but I really hate the dump and chase system he's implemented.

He never really had the right roster for his system. He'll get a job somewhere else.

Messier would make too much sense & making sense is not Sather's style.
