GDT: #44 - 04/17/21 | Rangers vs. Devils | 12:30 PM ESPN+, MSG, MSG+

[Baby Duck Homme]

Practice mannequin or did we trade Jack Johnson to the Bruins?

 

[GAGLine]

It's a complete numbers game with Buch right now.

We all love Buch but can the Rangers have 3 wingers making 1/3 the cap?

We can afford Buch. The key is just to not give him a NMC, so if we have to trade him later, we can.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I don’t understand how some people here propose trading Buchnevich, the guy is having an elite level two way forward season

We got to keep Buch & Strome and find a way to get rid of Kreider & Trouba

 

[Fitzy]

What Kakko really needs is a line that plays well with his game.

Weird board cycle players like Isbister and Dubinsky just clicked with Jagr for whatever reason. Rangers need to find some linemates who are on the same page.

 

[SRHRangers]

It really depends.

Another 6 mil wing when you have Kakko, LaF, and Kravy is a tough pill.

Now if Kravy can play C.....

 

[Chytilmania]

We are playing some of the best hockey ive seen in decades. sadly chasing that last playoff spot but I am confident this team will go far in the next 2-4 years.

None of these games count, just like the Flyers games.

 

[LORDE]

Not going to call it with us up 3-0 with the last 3 PPs. Stupid.

So penalties aren't when we have the lead? I thought we weren't the pens

 

[will1066]

Canucks basically have a baseball schedule rest of the way

None of Kakko, Laf or Kravy have earned a significant raise yet. If and when they do, we can trade Buch, if we don't give him an NMC. If he won't sign without an NMC, then we sign him and trade him before the NMC kicks in, or we trade him this summer.

 

[ViD]

The Rangers now need to switch their focus to protect that shutout

A baseball schedule means all your games get canceled, right?

Canucks basically have a baseball schedule rest of the way

And they’re probably going to lose 90 % of those games. What a mess

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Still wish the kid line would get broken up. Kreider and Laf swap make too much sense

 

[SnowblindNYR]

wat
that was awful. Devils playing a tight box and the Rangers just patty caking it around for 90 seconds.

Maybe my standards for a good PP = zone time are too low.

 

[Fitzy]

If this game ends with a 'clean sheet' I don't envy Quinn having to make the goaltending call for tomorrow.

 

[effen]

Buch is a goner, sad to say

Balance comes at a cost

Better get us a damn good trade return then.

If he's been in conversations for a top 16 in years past he has to be worth a Lundell or Krebs now.

My drunk Canucks fan uncle was convinced they’re cup-bound this season after their “success” in the bubble lol

One of those is not like the other two. Have to trade him to keep Buch. I love Kreider but he is not earning his paycheck.

 

[duhmetreE]

Damn Vally a killer.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Good stuff - i mean this top 9 is talented enough to win a cup as is (just with time)

 

[Larrybiv]

Kaapo has a magnet on his stick. I am for sure of it! Anyone see his stickhandling in tight quarters late in 1st? Amazing. Very Fox like.

 

[Embryo]

So Igor starting 3rd in a row, what happened to Blackwood? Didn't want to get lit up again?

 

[cheech70]

Savage Vally

Kick em in the teeth...finish the job.....Vally the Hitman
