Sather Tries Hard, But Can't Hang Onto Job
New York, NY--The Rangers Organization has announced today that Glen Sather has been fired as General Manager of the Rangers.
Recently, Sather has made a last desperate attempt by signing Marian Gaborik, among others, to the team in hopes of rectifying last years problems. However, Owner Jim Dolan wasn't satisfied and decided it was finally time to listen to the peope of New York.
Replacing Sather is former Ranger Andrew Dellapina. Andrew played Right Wing for both the Rangers and the Wolfpack, their AHL affiliate, last year, but stopped playing about 25 games in for reasons unbeknownst to the general public. Dellapina is at a ripe old age of 25, and comes fresh off of a 4-year period at the University of Pennsylvania, where he set nearly every possible school hockey record. The new General Manager was not available for comment, but says he doesn't want to shelter the media, and will try to be as open as possible.
Andrew has only a week to settle in before the Rangers begin their preseason games, which begin at home on Tuesday, Sept. 15 against the Boston Bruins.
