Andrew Copp apologized to Chris Drury for Rangers losing first-round pick | New York Post Sports

Following the Rangers’ Game 7 victory over the Hurricanes, president and general manager Chris Drury made his way downstairs from the PNC Arena press box to see his team. When he ran into Andrew Copp, who was acquired at the trade deadline, he received an apology.

“Sorry about your first,” Drury recalled Copp telling him — referencing the conditional draft pick the Rangers sent to Winnipeg, which became a first-round pick since Copp played in more than 50 percent of the team’s games and the Rangers reached the Eastern Conference finals.

Given what Copp has brought to the Rangers, and given that the team has made it this far into the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons, Drury could not care less about losing his first-round selection.
