I'm sure he does. The Rangers are a mess.

Hindsight is always 20/20, and I'm sure he's not enthralled with how things have gone with the Rangers.

However, he made a choice that playing for his childhood favorite team was more important than playing for the Sabres. I won't fault him for that, but still doesn't change my opinion on not wanting him back.

Doing so now would be like having two dates to choose from for the prom. You pick the hotter one, spurning the one who REALLY wanted to go with you. When you realize the hot girl is a bitch, you can't reasonably come groveling back to the other one like some sort of backup plan and expect it to go over well.

Sure you can Squanto.

I don't think your analogy works too well with this situation, because in life like that, you can be all sorry and crap and be like I'm an idiot and blah blah balH BLAH.

So, Drury's version of a 10" crank is a dirt cheap contract...the analogy worked perfect Squanto

All I was trying to get across is that you CAN come back to your second choice, but there is nothing that says things would be the same if you stayed there to begin with.

Regier isn't going to bring back Drury so keep dreaming! He isn't worth the money he's making anyways. Yes we all liked him when he was in Buffalo but Darcy was offering almost the same as the Rangers were offering and he left. Drury, Briere and Campbell are all way overpaid just like Vanek is only because this team couldn't afford to lose 3 core players all at once. Not trying to live in the past but Regier needs to make a move soon and help this team.

Oh I know what you meant perfectly Squanto, I just wanted to say something against it really.

Well didn't he agree to an extension back in midseason that Quinn shot down? And also wanted to stay as long as Briere did? I think the whole "playing for my childhood team" is just good PR.

But if we did trade for either Briere or Drury I'm sure the Flaps and Rags would have to pay part of that salary...don't see that happening though

We don't want him.

Every Rangers fan I talk to hates his contract and says he's not worth it.

We'll see how he plays in the olympics.

I'd love to have Drury back on this team; this is business, not romance.

However, Drury's contract is so ugly that I don't even want to consider it here in Buffalo...

I thought Squanto's point was that the jilted never forget - or forgive...

For 2 mill or so? I'd probably take him back. I don't think he's lost any of his ability, and leadership isn't something you really can lose... I just think playing on the Rangers he's taken a role where he's kind of lost in the crowd (especially behind big names now like Gaborik) and playing little minutes. I'm sure he doesn't have as much of a voice in the locker room as he did playing top line minutes in a small market like Buffalo.

He comes back, he's reunited with old friends and meets some nice new faces, playing good minutes in a system that's pretty well suited to his solid style of offense. Plus, I don't think you can ever have enough leadership.

And like someone said, Roy-Drury-Grier. I like it.

That said, I would never ever take him back for 7 mill. So unless the Rags plan on buying him out and/or he wants to sign here for a more reasonable price, no dice.

if you want drury. you are best to wait, as it is likely with messier more than likely going to be the GM of the rags, he will look to create salary cap space and probably buy out drury as the rags and city have money. this is where buffalo could re-sign drury as his best years where here in in buffalo. Cap space maybe our issue, as which point boston wants offense, and we have vanek, pominville.

Screw him. He isn't half the man he was here in Buffalo. He wants to live his dream, fine. But I don't see him living it much longer. Or for 7 mill for sure. He wants to come back, say no. He didn't want Buffalo, he wanted the Rangers. Now he's paying the price. Wait until the Rangers don't want him. Then where will he go?

I'd probably cut myself if Vanek or Pommers went to boston.

Oh, and why not take back Drury? ( at B&Y) He was our captain at one point. I see no reason why we wouldn't take him back for a year or two if he gets bought out. If Grier came back why not him?

I'd take him back. 3 million a year.

Arent there about 38,374,092 crappy movies with that exact theme?

Yup! haha, I think we all can agree we would take drury back at a much cheaper price.
