I dont think they are a contender anymore.
In the East id choose Washington, Pittsburgh, Florida, Tampa, Islanders, Montreal, to all do better than NYR. And those are my safe bets. Teams like Philly, NJ, Ottawa could also do better.

except that team that is like 10 miles away across the river
are the Rangers really that much better than NJ starting in 2016? I would say no.
Yes they are. Lets not forget Schneider was inhuman in many games last year as was the Devils D. Despite the fact their offense improved a bit I don't know if they will get that same performance in goal or on D again. The Flyers/Devils/Canes are all at major risk of regressing this year. I think one will make the playoffs but two others will drop off significantly.

At least it was the finals. And we a good chance to make the playoffs this year.

RIP, Jimmy.
People. Please pay attention to the sources you post. Someone with barely any followers on twitter and has no reputation as being legitimate probably isn't a person you should be quoting.

How do you know what I know about the player? Whats wrong with using statistics? Or do you feel he is a better two way player than Larkin and White? Im sure if you actually have researched or watched the player you know he isnt as good both ways as either of those prospects. I felt that was common knowledge around here especially for an expert like you.

Maybe. You should score a lot more goals anyway--so I don't expect your games will be as dull. I'm just thinking your team is going to give up more goals.

Amen. The agent, or whoever gave that quote to Det, needs a butt kicking.

They've been in contention, yes. But they haven't won a Cup in those years and they're trending down in their Cup contention window with a first round and out this past playoff.
Winning a Cup is better than padding your playoff win totals with " long playoff runs ".

McDonagh is 27
All under 26 and in the starting lineup:
Skeji
McIlrath
Stepan
Zibanejad
Hayes
Miller
Kreider
Fast
Lindberg
Point: I think Vesey would fit in just fine, would see room for playing time in the top 6 if he is playing well, has friends here already. There are other factors about the Rangers that have a lot of allure as well.
Anyone trying to perpetuate one team as an undeniable front runner is wrong. That said, disparaging other teams really has no place here either. The Rangers are certainly being fairly considered by Vesey, and for very good reasons; as are several other teams as well. People will have different opinions, arguing is fine but being mean is unnecessary.

Schneider has the best save percentage in NHL history:

pretty sure the LAST thing the Devils need to worry about is goaltending....
there is no chance the Devils regress this year unless Schneider misses a significant portion of the season.

Not only this, but Vesey close to carried an otherwise pretty weak team. Vesey wasn't playing on a stacked team like Michigan or North Dakota really.
MCD hasn't been the same player since his shoulder injury, Hank is getting older and yes the core of forwards is young but there isn't anything there to write home about. You guys should still be in the playoffs for the next 2-3 years but it's going to be hard to come close to the cup again with that squad unless good trades are made. The downward trend as begun, will Vesey want to be with that kind of future?
lol he will be 23 when he debuts professionally, thats overage. Kreider debuted at 21.
Overage is making a professional debut in 2nd or 3rd year of eligibility. Um, hello?

I totally agree with the circus aspect of this.
Sure he is within his rights to go RFA and all that, no worries there.
But like the above says, THEY are turning it INTO a circus.
This agent or mgt group. Strange.
They tell Detroit sorry he wants closer to home and then the next day tell Chicago fly to Boston. I mean this is amateur hour for this agent it seems to me.

People are really quibbling over the definition of perennial winner?
Lets put it another way. There are certainly a lot of reasons why a free agent would want to join the Rangers, with one of them being how the team has performed over the last five years.
I'm sorry I stepped on the toes of all the people who get mad about anything they slightly disagree with.
Chicago, Pittsburgh and LA are the only true winners in the NHL, I guess.

Okay dude, keep making up things. Nobody has ever said that.
He was eligible at 18, so I guess he's 5 years late? Wow, what an overager!

1st. ECAC is an OK conference but Harvard barely had anybody. Michigan plays in the Big10 where offense runs wild.

Because Jimmy Vesey, he the god amongst man, can predict that.
Everyone gave Washington the benefit of the doubt because they lost to Pittsburgh. Everyone knew Pittsburgh was primed for a Cup run. But the Rangers lost to those same Penguins in one less game and they are on a downward trend.
Typical HF hypocripsy.

If the aforementioned is accurate info, that exciting for NYR fans.
But, He doesn't even have a contract yet? So, it would be unlikely if this was true, at least unlikely that he hasn't closed yet as he would have likely needed to provide the new contract to qualify for that said mortgage...Unless he purchase in Manhattan as a Cash deal. In which case, God bless him!
