nh rangers

 

[Steve Zissou]

Their rebuild just went to warp speed.

Wow. Rags get richer

 

[ru4reals]

Screw the damn rangers!!!!!

 

[ru4reals]

Hope Laf busts!!!!

 

[kingsboy11]

Well at least it wasn't Edmonton or Pittsburgh

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Well at least it wasn't Edmonton or Pittsburgh

Or Toronto. And he plays in the East!

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Middle of the pack option for me. Not one of my preferred destinations, but at least it wasn't Edmonton, Toronto, or Pittsburgh. Leafs now have to give up their first round pick

 

[KopitarFAN]

I'm fine with it, not a western team, and not Pittsburgh or Toronto. All good.

 

[KingsCourt]

I don't mind.. As long wasn't oilers, leafs or pens

[WHOneedsSOX]

Eh fine with me. They were an original non-playoff team so them winning works for me. Better than Edmonton, Toronto, or Pittsburgh.

 

[cyclones22]

Yep don't care. They certainly had some Lotto luck the last two seasons. But they didn't tank their way to these picks.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Rangers were one of the teams that f***ed us last year too so a couple of lottery wins in a row eh. Kind of shit but that's the NHL for ya.

 

[King'sPawn]

Rangers win something for the first time since the 90s. And they will quickly shirk awsy the "Church of Kakko" to love their new savior.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Eh, I'm indifferent with the Rangers winning it, just glad that Lafreniere (assuming that is who they pick) will be in the Eastern Conference.

I'm more pleased by the fact that teams like the Penguins, Leafs and Oilers are not being rewarded for their ineptness, and Leafs fans suffer from yet another loss for the second day in a row. Their first round pick will now transfer over to Carolina.

 

[redcard]

At least now I can retroactively enjoy the Pens, Leafs, and Oilers being knocked out so early.

 

[Stimpythecat]

As others have said, I am glad it was not the leafs, oilers, or pens. So it could have been worse. Rangers fans are going to be insufferable now.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I had a feeling the rangers would be gifted the 1OA pick this year.

 

[DAkings20]

I'm good with it, stay's in the east and it wasn't Edm/Tor/Pitt

 

[KingsofLA]

If their is a team that needs a huge Center like Byfield, ITS THE RANGERS. Let the trade talks begin...one can dream

 

[King'sPawn]

As others have said, I am glad it was not the leafs, oilers, or pens. So it could have been worse. Rangers fans are going to be insufferable now.

The Rangers were the fourth team I didn't want Laf to go to, because their fans are insufferable. I had a 50% chance of being happy.

 

[SlimCharles]

I'm pretty happy with how it went, Laf isn't in the west! I know some of you guys hate the Rags, but it's great for the league if they are a good team. Maybe we can meet in the Cup Final again in a few years and have Byfield vs Laf.

 

[cyclones22]

Hell at this point I'm not 100% sold Kakko and Hughes are better than Turcotte, so maybe we dodged a bullet.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

It's less the players and more the principle. Two lottery wins in a row is gross, more so this year when they were 16th in the league overall and got playoff games.

 

[ru4reals]

Hell at this point I'm not 100% sold Kakko and Hughes are better than Turcotte, so maybe we dodged a bullet.

Man if Turcotte blows up it would be just epic for us and we get one of Byfield or Stutzle as well. However, hate to say it but Zegras will be an absolute stud from that 2019 class. He might just be the best when it's all said and done. Anyways draft day cannot come soon enough.
