NY Rangers Fan Confidence Poll-July 7, 2025: Optimism? In this economy?

In this week’s Patreon post (subscribe here!), Dave talked how July 1 was a good start, but there’s still work to be done.

Live From the Blue Seats recorded twice last week! First, we talked the potential K’Andre Miller trade to Detroit, which fell through. Then we talked Chris Drury’s plan and how we are finally starting to see the forest, instead of the trees.

The Rangers re-signed Will Cuylle to a 2 year, $3.9 million contract extension.
The Rangers signed defenseman Vlad Gavrikov to a 7 year, $7 million contract.
After being linked to Detroit, K’Andre Miller was traded to Carolina for top prospect Scott Morrow, a conditional 1st 2026 1st rounder, and a 2026 2nd rounder. Morrow was Carolina’s top ranked prospect.
The Rangers signed AHL forward Justin Dowling to a 2 year contract.
The Rangers signed AHL defenseman Derrick Pouliot to a 2 year contract as well.
The Rangers were one of the front runners for Russian winger Maxim Shabanov before he signed with the Islanders.
The Rangers signed right wing Taylor Raddysh to a 2 year, $1.5 million contract.
The Rangers signed forward Trey Fix-Wolansky to a 1 year contract.

The K’Andre Miller trade had to happen, and Chris Drury did well with it.

Nick wrote about how this was a major win for Drury on July 1.
