Chris Drury had plenty to say on the first day of New York Rangers training camp Wednesday. But the Rangers general manager wouldn’t divulge anything about a possible contract extension for star forward Artemi Panarin.
This isn’t a surprise. That’s not Drury’s style. Mum’s the word is his preferred modus operandi.
And, to be honest, that’s exactly what you want from your GM. Let him work quietly behind closed doors. Very little good comes from bringing strategy or negotiations out into the open for everyone to know.
But you can’t blame reporters for asking, of course.
