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

what do you want? I have no problem with the Goodrow contract.

Nothing. You just said something that was off, I pointed out how it was off, then you kept responding and so did I.

Other peopledo have problems with it. You can disagree based on thinking everyone will be worth their contract and we'll be fine later. Other people have legit concerns though and you're blowing them off as not legit

the thread is based on a hack job by the Athletic in which almost everybody has discredited. Apparently you missed that or not reading what you want to read.

I’m fine with the Goodrow contract. If you don’t like it, who cares?

The Rangers have centers to start the season and and entire year to figure this out including if Laf or Krav can play center, if Chytil improves, if somebody is extended or traded for. If you don’t like it and need resolution today, who cares?

A proposal for solution rather than a complain-a-thon is more productive.
 
one has nothing to do with the other. The Rangers acquired grit b/c they needed it. They don’t need a center right now. They do have Mika, Strome, Chytil, Goodie and who knows about others. Laf or Krav could make the change. The Rangers could move a Nils or others for that center.

You seem to one of the few who don't believe the Rangers still want to improve at center.

Nils is going absolutely nowhere.

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

I was very happy with the team's trajectory. Dolan is an idiot.
 
unlike your hobby of correcting posters daily i’m not going to guide you through my posts. I’ve made my thoughts on center, etc for a long while.

Expecting me to listen to someone who believes Nils might go in a deal for a center is a waste of time for all concerned, anyway.

there has been quite a bit more posted. Enjoy your valuable time correcting others when not complaining.
 
Meh i have no problems with the moves this year. Yes, i think we should have gotten more for Buch, but we do need to get tougher to play against.

as for salary structure, it will work itself out, especially if we keep drafting well.

the only contract i dont like is Kreider. Trouba might be overpaid, but our defense absolutely fell apart when he isnt there so i am ok with his overpay. He brings alot more to the table than people give credit for.

You said Nils can get us a center.

I'll bet you can't find another poster who agrees with your statement.

You probably realized your statement is ridiculous and had to go into general attack mode.

The fondness level applied to the current roster, and believing their cap structure is efficient, I feel should be viewed as two different things.

I didn't correct your info. You didn't provide info.

You offered a solution to an issue that puts you alone on an island.

Be proud of your opinion. Don't hide from it.

If Nils gets traded and a center comes back in the deal, you'll gain the universal respect you feel you deserve. You might turn out to be right and everyone else could turn out to be wrong.

It's like your other opinion that you can always pick up a number 2 center. That's easy enough, but it's tough to add grit, right?

I should have listened to the other poster who warned me about you.

Going forward it won't be an issue.

Awesome thread
 
I don’t think we got enough for Buchnevich but we couldn’t afford to keep him away. We knew some skill guys were going to have to move and I don’t think it ends with Buch. By at least next season we are going to be paying more for whoever is our 1C and for Fox as well and then there are also new deals for Kakko and Lafreniere coming.

This Dom what’s his name I don’t give a f*** about. The journalism right now is shit with writers scraping the barrel to put whatever they can together and it’s more often than not out of thin air and for the most part I’m not bored enough to read it.

…….and again for the most part I like the direction the Rangers have taken this summer. The Buch deal and our draft for me though were a bit underwhelming. The turn towards a grittier team actually started with the 2020 draft particularly Schneider, Cuylle and Berard. I’ll add this I take the additions of Goodrow, Blais, Reaves and Nemeth very seriously, Hunt somewhat seriously and Tinordi not that seriously.

This is so overblown at the moment. Oh, how do we have this rebuild and now a terrible cap structure? Let me tell you - two unreal lottery wins, signing one of the best FA's in our history (who could have gone to our rival and may have given them a cup last year), and of course trading a second round pick for one of the youngest Norris winners ever. Give me a break. Things change year over year and right now were in one of the most interesting situations in the league.

Goodrow, Blais, Reaves are solid yet unspectacular additions but they're such a small part of the equation here. The bigger pieces are (1) Gallant's system (2) will our young talented core can take another step and (3) is there another move that will be made right now with our cap space and overload of talent not currently on the roster.

Agreed. D- for Trouba is ridiculously harsh. C+? Sure I can dig that. He's overpaid, but still an essential part of this team and the veteran presence we need on the back end. We needed him at the time and the contract wasn't unreasonable considering the state of our defense.

I do hate the Kreider contract too, but to be fair, how was the team supposed to know it was going to have three incredible winger prospects in Laf, Kakko, and Krav at the time?

On the other hand, if Kreider's contract along with Strome's went to a superstar type guy in the center position, this team would be so much deeper right now. Ridiculously so.

true, but i dont hate the contract bc of having the wingers. I hate it bc kreider disappears for half a season and isnt worth it. One of my least favorite rangers ever.

Overall I agree but if Goodrow is a 'small part'... he's here for a lot & a while and well into his shelf life.

I like the 'idea' of Goodrow I just want the NEXT one
