"Ryan Martin's bio speaks to a lot of successes in the Detroit Red Wings organization. He was part of the club when they won the Stanley Cup in 2007-08, though I'm not sure his role of Director of Hockey Administration was one that necessarily led the club to victory."
"As the GM of the Grand Rapids Griffins in 2017, Martin won the Calder Cup in the AHL and that would be more of a direct feather in his cap. His familiarity with AHL and his success there meant that when he joined the Rangers organization, he'd again be tapped for the GM of the Hartford Wolf Pack."
"Martin was just promoted at the beginning of the 2025-26 by the Rangers, moving from the common Assistant GM title to what is presumably a loftier role of Associate GM. This pretty much cements that Martin was Chris Drury's right hand man."
Ryan Martin and Evan Gold have advanced in the Toronto Maple Leafs' GM search, with second interviews taking place. Ryan Martin has a successful background in hockey operations, including a Stanley Cup win with the Detroit Red Wings and a Calder Cup victory as GM of the Grand Rapids Griffins. His recent promotion to Associate GM with the New York Rangers indicates his significant role in management. The Leafs are looking for leadership as they navigate a retooling phase, making Martin's experience relevant to their needs.
