from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

So now it appears as if it is down to one…one candidate to succeed Glen Sather as Rangers president in the wake of Steve Yzerman’s decision to return to Detroit to become general manager of the Red Wings team he captained to three-Cup glory a couple of decades ago.

That one candidate is John Davidson, and the inference drawn here from the Rangers’ inaction since Sather disclosed his intention to move into a senior adviser’s role on April 4 is that they have a pretty darn good idea that JD is coming once his pesky Blue Jackets exit the playoff stage, even if that might not be until the middle of June.

If not, this makes no sense.

Actually, this makes little sense regardless.

Not for a minute am I suggesting that the Blueshirts would go wrong with Davidson, who has 13 years of experience in the same role for the Blues and Blue Jackets, overseeing revivals of both mid-market franchises. He checks all the boxes.
