Blake Wheeler and Ryan Clowe are returning to the New York Rangers. Each former NHL forward joins Chris Drury’s staff in the Rangers front office for the 2025-26 season.
Wheeler was named hockey operations adviser on Monday. Clowe was named assistant general manager, one day after resigning the same post with the San Jose Sharks.
Neither Wheeler nor Clowe had a long playing tenure with the Rangers. But each left a positive impression on the organization.
Wheeler played the last of his 16 NHL seasons with the Rangers in 2023-24, helping them establish franchise records for wins (55) and points (114).
