New York Rangers assistant general manager Chris Drury informed the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday he isn't going to leave the Rangers at this time, TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie reported.

"While he was viewed as a top prospect for the job, and the Penguins had asked for permission to talk to him, Drury informed Pittsburgh today he isn't interested in leaving New York or the Rangers at this time," McKenzie reported.

Drury has been the Rangers assistant general manager for the past five seasons. Prior to that, he was the team's director of player development.

The Penguins have been searching for a GM since Jim Rutherford left the team last month.
