Meh.

So who here doesn’t know deep in their heart of hearts that our pick is going to end up being the reason the Penguins draft McKenna? It’s been twenty years since the Sid draft. The Penguins draft the next generational C every twenty years.
lol because of this exact scenario I am now rooting for the Rangers to make the playoffs by any means necessary even if it’s a first round sweep

He should.

In the summer

Great jobs by Grier (getting a 2nd 1st rounder from the Karlsson trade)

Granlund has been traded twice at the TDL, with *insert fart sound* results

2018-19 Minnesota: 0.78 pts/game
2018-19 Nashville: 0.31 pts/game

2022-23 Nashville: 0.62 pts/game
2022-23 Pittsburgh: 0.24 pts/game

Dallas is destined for a round 2 exit once again

classic mediocre player boosting his numbers by being a higher option on a bad team.

If we had a 1st rounder would you have traded it?
I honestly didn't even consider it when I posted this. I was basically using it as an FYI for the guys here who had Petterson on their radars as a LD option.

Now that you're asking however, I don't think this team should be trading draft picks for rentals for this season or a potential run that will likely end with a 1st round exit, if we even get in.

Folks can say what they want but if youre actually watching hockey, tony deangelo has been very very good for the isles. Forget the goal tonight, in his own end he was the best isles dman

Absolutely what did he play like 25 minutes tonight?
27. Hes averaging like 25 mins a night and looks very good. Im honestly impressed. The fact a guy that good and that talented can be had at league minimum is unreal.

Itd never happen but id take him in a NANOSECOND as our 6D RHD puck moving dman for league min. Anyone who says otherwise is due to non hockey reasons

I'm wondering if we're going to get all of the angry Kakko posts now for TDA, lol. Anyway, it wasn't like we were the last team he played on. Wasn't he terrible in a good defensive system in Carolina?

I didnt watch enough carolina. But since i kinda follow the devs and isles as theyre also local teams ive been watching all his games and honestly idk wtf happened but hes looked unbelievable out there, especially in his own end.

Does the khl have bigger rinks and now maybe he feels its easier? Idk what happened haha but he looks unbelievable.

Yay! My ticket just sold (at a loss again obv.).

I am spared from having to trek to the Garden tomorrow and watch JT skate circles around the rest of these chucklefuks.

Vegas, 7-3.

(Meaning Rangers must reach 22-8 over their last 30 to make playoffs lolololololol)
