Canadian markets can't win cus they need to monetize and their rabid fan base guarantees profits as long as they make win now moves even if it results in sucking long twrm. Van, wpg, cgy all there. EDM too before McDai.
Oh, I know LOL Good for the Jets to get those two signed; it's been nearly impossible to get players to sign there long term.
I was being somewhat facetious earlier; was thinking of the recent playoff success, or lack thereof and the possible rumours of what's gone on in the dressing room (supposedly) in recent years. The Rangers signed one of the players who were in that room at that time. It was a question as to what direction the organization would go; either go all in or blow it up and do a full rebuild. They're having attendance issues, so blowing it up for a rebuild may not have been a palatable option. Also, as has been mentioned earlier in the thread, I gather the trade offers for those two were less than appealing.
They should be competitive, if not a top end contender in the Western Conference for the next couple years, until Schieffele/Hellebuyck ask for trades again.
