Remember all that PLD hates guys gave me? “Locker room cancer” etc. Hes on a 1st place WSH team, is a +23 and has 48 pts in 57 games. He’s EXACTLY who we needed in the off-season, not Rielly Smith

His cap hit is 8.5 million, smith is 3.7. How were the rangers going to fit him during that off-season? Everyone got pissed at Drury for getting out of Goodrow’s contract to make space lol

I just bought two tix for Tuesday night. I defend it by saying it’s a date night with the wife

If we didn’t sign Smith, whoever we sent the other way would’ve been subtracted also. We had the room to do it. But you know, he sucks.

No we didn't, who are we sending the other way? Trades just don't happen lol. The salary cap is a real thing. If you are trading someone like Lindgren then who is playing defense. The Rangers were never and could never afford PLD this past offseason

You can like the player but to say the Rangers were dumb for not getting him is just not true. They had no opportunity due to the cap situation

Not to mention every Ranger is having a down year. Even if it was a possibility, the same success can’t be guaranteed on the Rangers.
It’s like Giants fans saying Saquon Barkley could’ve had the same season in NY that he had in Philly

Yep and coming into this year PLD was viewed as having one of the worst contracts in the league. Imagine the Rangers trading a Laf or Kakko for that this summer. Chytill had to prove he was healthy this season to have any trade value. He was never going to be a Ranger
