at least you have an answer. Stunned he wasn’t a Rangers earlier in his career.

It's not really an answer beyond what they might actually do.

I agree that the Rangers should have addressed the center position long ago while they were selling off everything they could for picks and prospects. Not that they did not try with Lias, Chytil, Howden, yet they had more opportunities to do so when two of three of them were not looking so good.

hey, they won two lotteries which included a RW and LW. That changed a lot. W/o repeating the roster names again the Rangers at this moment are ok. There is time and if the Rangers had no centers requiring the panic we’ve been reading, i’m sure they would be moving quicker.
 
wrong, they do not need one today to start the season and a lot can happen between now and next season.
He's right. He even gave a good reason with injury and told you about the solutions he had to prevent us from ending up where we are now. We have no top 6 replacements except maaaaaybe Chytil and both our top 6 c are looking at either being unsignable bc we have zero foresight or past their shelf life soon.

They do need a prospect today. They've also mismanaged things so badly that I don't see a feasible way to address the need unless we do enormous damage to the cap and/or our future with a stupid, risky move

The Panarin contract is too much in the Covid world. The Rangers wanted to hold the number to $11M. Panarin wanted more. The Rangers had retained $900,000 on Ryan Spooner's contract in the trade with Edmonton for Ryan Strome. Edmonton traded Spooner to Vancouver for Sam Gagner. Vancouver bought out Spooner and the Rangers obligation for 2019-20 dropped to $300,000. The Rangers had the extra $600,000 for Panarin. The Rangers offered that contract believing the cap would go up to nearly $100M by the conclusion of the 7 year contract. Panarin has 5 years remaining. The cap could be flat for the entire remaining term of the Panarin contract. $1M increases until the players have paid off their debt.

lol, random trades to unnamed teams. The only players he actually mentions is for a pricey $10 million dollar Eichel who is injured in a thread based on asset allocation in which he’s ripped the Rangers. Only other player is his obsession with Lundell in which the only player he offers is Buch which again is questionable asset allocation for Fla. Was never going to happen.

The Rangers missing grit was immediately necessary bc they had zero while they have centers. We’re all cognizant of the contracts and what is in the system. Not going to repeat everything as most in this thread are on the same page while few seem in irrational panic mode.

Yea grit was an issue and so was the top 6 depth in our system. Future cap is also an issue. Unfortunately they only addressed one issue, actively made the cap situation worse and failed to address the top 6 c issue despite having a lot of opportunities to address it

As long as ck and the trouba contract are on the books while, as a bonus, we're still also holding a slight Girardi cap hit, I can't even think about panarin. He's at least worth his contract so far

There is absolutely nothing wrong with paying a top 5 NHL'er the money hes making.

Trouba a bit over paid? Yeah.
Kreider a bit over paid? Again, yes.

Panarin? Not even a little over paid.

read through the thread if you like. Not repeating everything as the Rangers added only $1.1 to the cap. Meanwhile, i’ve been killing the cap for years including the Kreider extension vs opposition.

Lol what. MVP candidate is overpaid? I think not. He’s probably underpaid. I guess that SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND makes a huge difference. Panarin only makes 11.6. 11.1. 11.2. 11.3. 11.4. 11.5. 11.6. Vastly worse players like Seth Jones and Darnell Nurse just signed contracts that are in the ballpark. If panarin was a FA now he would be able to get even more than the rangers are paying him
 
what’s the problem? It’s $1.1 million more than last year for line #3 and for stability. The numbers are not outrageous.
Again? You don't consider who they gave it to or for how long? If they gave 2 m aav to me for 1 year instead of goodrow you'd be happy bc they gave even less cap this year?

And you could argue they've made a few signings that were worse than goodrow too

I did. You're response doesn't make sense. You're missing a ton of stuff that was clearly laid out and hyper focusing on stuff that's irrelevant to the main points being made

then you didn’t read the thread imo.

is Goodrow a good player? At 28 years, think you can get four years out of this out of him? Years five and six (two years) can be bought out and extended for four years which is $1.8 million per. If he isn’t moved. I don’t see this as problem for an extremely young team which is desperate for his type and who, btw. can play center too.
 
For starters, I wouldn't have fired all of management in a fit of rage.
They did all the same things for years that you're complaining about with Drury though. They just won three lottos while they were at it. That's right three. Fox demanding to come here was a lotto win. Literally nothing to do with gorts skill
 
actually the majority are on the same page. The hyperbole as if the Rangers are vacant of centers and panicking doesn’t make sense
No they're on the actual page, you're like in the margins on the back of the page. Like, you're close but at some point you stopped making sense and when it's explained you respond in a way that makes less sense.

Again, this doesn't make sense as a response. You're missing the points badly and talking around them bc you don't want to be wrong. You're also making some assumptions here that easily may not end up true
