GDT: #9 - 10/27/19 | bruins @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[hi]

Rangers are so bad at defending that they can't even stop 2 other NHL teams from playing a game in their arena

 

[I Eat Crow]

Yeah let's trade a 24 year old who is our best offensive defenseman.

He's a redundant piece. I'm not sure it's the right decision to hand him a 5 year, 30 million dollar contract for 1.5 years of good play.

I'm sure the Rangers won't forget about his holdout, either.

 

[Tob]

I think the communication and positioning and system in the D zone is why Skjei sucks so bad. He doesn't know where he can put the puck and where his teammates are in support so he's adopted Marc Staal's hang onto the puck until there are 3 forecheckers on your ass and then scoot to the front of the net and stay there until the puck is in the net.

 

[Black Aces]

I will watch this crap if it nets me byfield or lafreniere

 

[I Eat Crow]

Paid so much....by Anaheim

DeAngelo for Zegras. Who says no and why?

 

[Avery16]

Is it just me or does this roster play inferior to last seasons

 

[Sayba]

He's a redundant piece. I'm not sure it's the right decision to hand him a 5 year, 30 million dollar contract for 1.5 years of good play.

If he is the best offensive defenseman how is he redundant?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

He's a redundant piece. I'm not sure it's the right decision to hand him a 5 year, 30 million dollar contract for 1.5 years of good play.

I'm sure the Rangers won't forget about his holdout, either.

He is literally the best D-man on the team. Calling him a redundant piece is like calling Panarin a redundant piece because we have other wingers who exist.

 

[lemonybergamot]

He made a terrible pass 5 seconds earlier and had the easiest goal in the history of hockey, a 2-inch tap in. Settle down.

Maybe hee's not having a good game, but I think his overall play has been good this season

 

[ohbaby]

Sometimes I feel like they should convert DeAngelo into a forward. Seems like most of his production comes from pinching up into the RW spot.

He should switch with Smith. Cause I don't know how any D-man could leave Marchant unattended feet away from the crease.

 

[Black Aces]

Is it just me or does this roster play inferior to last seasons

when we get to the point where we want them to lose they will start winning

 

[Richard Banger]

DeAngelo for Zegras. Who says no and why?

In a heart beat.

I'd trade Skjei for Zegras straight up as well.

Honestly Hajek Trouba and Fox should be the only D on this roster that's going to be part of the future.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Trouba getting absolutely toyed with.

This team should be ashamed.

 

[Gresch04]

Maybe hee's not having a good game, but I think his overall play has been good this season

I think he's been a passenger on a really good line and is a bit overrated.

 

[mas0764]

DeAngelo for Zegras. Who says no and why?

I might do that.

 

[DanielBrassard]

He's a redundant piece. I'm not sure it's the right decision to hand him a 5 year, 30 million dollar contract for 1.5 years of good play.

He's redundant? LOL. Can't have too many skilled players. How about just get rid of Skjei who provides very little.

 

[FJB]

lol

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I thought it would be hard to be boring with Panarin, Zibanejad, Trouba, Kakko, some good prospects, and a handful of guys we know to be average or above average NHL players

 

[Tob]

Kreider has turned into one of those machines that blows nitrogen into a plastic bag to open it so the beef jerky can be dropped in and sealed.

 

[uxut]

Kakko -4. Had nothing to do with the last 2 of them but still.

 

[Black Aces]

i feel like i have seen howden 10 feet from his man on a goal like 5 times this year already

 

[I Eat Crow]

He is literally the best D-man on the team. Calling him a redundant piece is like calling Panarin a redundant piece because we have other wingers who exist.

Let's just agree to disagree.

DeAngelo will never hold more value next summer. The Rangers have Trouba locked in for the next 7 years at 8 million a season. The Rangers have Fox who is a similar player and will cost less money on his ELC for two more years. There's Lundkvist who looks really promising. There are a bajillion LHD prospects that are knocking on the door.

I just don't see how he fits here long term. Use him as bait to address another significant systemic weakness.

 

[Gresch04]

We give guys enough time between the circles to make a sandwich.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Definitely seems less competitive. Last year we got blown out a few times but most of our losses were close. This time is more like play really well or really bad. There’s no middle ground.

 

[Kakko]

Kreider hasn't placed a shot like that in 3 years
