New York Rangers assistant general manager Jeff Gorton may be a good candidate to fill the Bruins’ vacant GM position, but that doesn’t mean they’ll get a shot at hiring him.
Rangers GM Glen Sather told the New York Post yesterday he won’t be granting teams permission to speak with Gorton while the Blueshirts are still involved in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Sather might not even allow Gorton to talk to the Bruins after the Rangers’ season is over.
“I haven’t given permission to anybody to speak to anyone and I won’t as long as we’re playing,” Sather said.
