Former NHL defenseman Bryan Marchment passed away. He was in Montreal preparing for the draft.

Nyr schedule us out… not a big fan of it.

The NYI games are done by mid december. April is meh
Pit we play 3x in 4 games in mid march so one injury or td trade could have a huge impact in standings.

But you play with the schedule they give u.

Edit: also we play on New Years day. Isnt that supposed to be winter classic only? Or did they switch days?

We'll see if Boqvist really starts putting it together, could be a great little deal for Columbus. 3 years at $2.6 Mil

more points than Kakko and a RHD would be nice if Kakko would take a 2.5 X 3 years.
I'd be really surprised if he gets too much more than the Chytil deal. 2.5 is definitely plenty fair for what KK has shown so far

And they only play the Islanders and Flyers three times each.

I’m personally fine with only playing the Islanders thrice. Games against them are like watching paint dry.
LMAO...being a painter and Ranger fan...I know all about that....38 years of work and over 50 cheering for NYR's ....unfortunately...my younger bro is an Islander fan since inception...it sucks . I sent Turk a message tonight and told him to help them look hard for a nugget/nasty center in the draft tomorrow .

Get them on the Samuel Savoie train for me if you can. Thanks.

Playing every western conference team home and away is the dumbest thing ever. Alternate every other year and add more divisional games. Rangers/Islanders is getting more eyeballs than Rangers/Oilers at 10:30 on a Wednesday in December

Nah.

Fans in every city deserve to see every team and its stars in the league at least once a year.

We just had a season two years ago where we only played divisional opponents, and 8 times each. Everyone was sick of it by the end.

Agreed, I enjoy seeing all the stars pass through MSG at least once a year

As a Rangers fan who relocated to Nashville, I strenuously disagree. I get to see the Rangers live ONCE a year. Don't take that from me. :)

Nope. Could care less about western conference teams. 1 time a year is enough. I want more conference and divisional games.

Always thought the following is the best and fairest format.

6 times against the division - 42 games
3 times against other division in conference - 24 games
1 time against div a in other conference at home - 8games
1 time against div b in other conference away - 8 games.

Rotate the other conference each year with a and b.

Pens extend Letang 6 years at $6.1 AAV. He's 35. They're going to LTIR him no doubt. Letang gets the money he would have gotten in free agency, while the Pens get a nice AAV. Everyone wins except for the people who like rules.

Sens easily win DeBrincat trade. Chicago front office is interesting...Seth Jones extension hasn't even kicked in yet. At least they got to enjoy 3 recent cups.

Not even close to the reason everyone was sick of seeing the same teams. There's honestly no difference in passion between division teams. Not like it's the 90s and there were fights all over the place. I would much rather watch Colorado home and away play the Rangers than the boring ass Islanders play even more games.

Is it the Sens' pick? If it is I can't see how they won this trade, that's an absurd haul.

That might be objectively wrong. Whereas it may not be every game against a divisional rival that is a barn burner, many if not most are. A Rangers v Avs game at MSG does not have the same energy as Rangers v Pitt. Only thing I may concede is that teams like NJ who just flat out suck doesn't help things.

The 2022 draft is underwhelming and DeBrincat is a PPG winger who's only 24. it's an easy win for Ottawa. Derek Stepan returned more in a higher regarded draft.
