No not because you brought him up. LOL Although that is as good enough as any but because Im done signing "Star" players. They are just a stop gap to put people in the seats, the team will just middle along again as we sign mercenaries who just cant get us past the second round.

We have almost 30 million in cap space next year lol it’s going to be used like a $10 hooker

All you want to do is complain about everything. You do it extremely well

Rangers need to do whatever is humanly possible to get McDavid.

Mcdavid isnt coming to NY, scratch that off your Christmas list.

And once again we will be in the rinse, wash repeat cycle. KK couldnt get the Wild out of the first round, what makes you think he can here??? And of course be another 2 years older.

Complain?? Well I can complain that the organization is run with an idiot running it but you would want to call him a genius. I see a GM who took a playoff team and turned them into a non playoff team. My crystal ball says no chance for a Cup in the next 3 years.

Edmonton has 2 Superstars in Mcdavid and Leon, they didnt win poop. So why do we need a Superstar?

Try?? There is no try, its do or do not, there is no try!!!

Yes try to win lol ain’t rocket science. Have to try before you succeed!!

See the truth hurts, its ok, there is no band aid or lotion that helps the truth.

Sorry.

They don’t have a goalie. That’s their problem every year. Hmmm McDavid sees NY has a goalie…vwalaaaa McJesus the NYR

No you’re literally impossible to please as a Ranger fan lol. You’re not alone either

With this defense, Mcdavid says pass.

Love ya Tj but this team just sucks, you can hope for a miracle. I wont stop you, Im just giving you my opinion.

No if they offer him, let’s be conservative, and say $16 mill AAV. Hell they might go to $20 AAV

Why? I think its a nice thing to have on the Christmas list. No one always gets everything they want, but it doesnt hurt to be optimistic.

The thing we have is Shesty. Not sure Brukie understands that a goalie is in fact taken into consideration with players. Especially motivated to win like he is. Imagine Shesty in Edm and not skinner? There is a reason why Shesty was given that contract and some of it is to lure future players, ie-mcdavid

This is part of why I talk about consolidating on assets. We cant have dozens of assets and no where to play them in the lineup. At some point you leave 2 or 3 of them, and package the rest to balance out the team. As I mentioned before, theres 10 signed players who are bottom 6 guys, competing for 6 positions. Its unnecessary. Its also an unnecessary, cumulative, waste of cap space.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have depth. It’s better then having the Boninos and Wheelers lol

Perrault will probably start in Hartford. Which kind of sucks, but it does make some sense to do that

Gabe should, but I expect to see him after the trade deadline.

Depth is nice, but at some point you have to clean it up. I do agree the defense has me a bit concerned to start the season. Although Fox Im not worried about, its the other 2 pairs that are worrisome.

Gavrikov is light years better then miller, and Lindgren for that matter. Thats a net positive in a big way

Schneider was hurt all season supposedly. Him healthy is another net positive

Borgen. I get it, we traded Kakko for him. But he’s actually pretty good if people could look past that. He was a +9 on this cluster(frank) of a team and very durable. Last 3 seasons: 82-82-84 games

So that’s two pairs right there. And who has 3 great pairs unless you’re Florida, salary cap cheats

Maybe they get something out of Robertson. Vaaaks isn’t awful. Soucy is meh but they could easily make him the 7th D if Morrow plays

I like this alot:

Gavrikov Fox
Schneider Borgen
Vaaks Morrow
Soucy

They need to give Schneider more ice time to see if he is worth an extension, and they were saying he had a small sample where he looked good on the left side. I don’t recall that but it is a thing.

Vaaks is underrated too. He did pretty well last year. Imo he and Borgen are fairly immune to last years demise

Borgen. I get it, we traded Kakko for him. But he’s actually pretty good if people could look past that. He was a +9 on this cluster(frank) of a team, in 33 games

Im not saying anything about Gav and Fox, not worried there.

But Schneider playing all season on his off-side is a bit concerning. As more tape comes out and teams study them theres a potential he could get exposed. Theres a reason why defensemen specifically dont play their off-side. Those that do, like Heiskenen and Dahlin, are top top level elite skaters.

Im over the whole KK thing, I couldnt careless anymore about the trade and that we got Borgen out of it. Hes here and hes gonna play. Hes not bad, but I dont know if hes the kind of caliber Dman who is reliable to play 20mins a game. To me hes a 3rd pairing 17min a game guy.

Morrow is a big offensive defenseman, apparently he has his shortcomings defensively. Soucy I hope doesnt turn into a cone. Vaak... meh, I guess theres more to see, but I have my reservations. Robertson's development has been slow because apparently his skating wasnt catching up to NHL standards.

Between Schneider and Morrow, I think theyre ultimately going to have to make a decision eventually which one stays and goes.

Its nice we have Fortescue and Emery in the pipeline, but theyre at minimum a year away if not 2 years away.

check my edit.

Schneider could very well get traded next summer or getting Morrow could light a fire under his ass where he really shines this year
