New York Rangers from President's Trophy to Missed Playoffs?

[red devil]

 

[Oneiro]

Once more with feeling.

Trade Fox and Panarin for a haul, see if someone wants to make a Shesterkin deal.

Move Krieder at 50% and since you're already the bad guy, lean on Zib until he waives.

 

[failure]

He pissed about not being played?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Came in at the deadline to be the 7D. Played three games. Didn’t play again.

 

[MCR74]

Chances are he won't be a Ranger much longer.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Wow. I’m sooooo shocked. A dirtbag organization treated one of their players like dirt. Entirely flabbergasted by this massive revelation.

 

[Sol]

I’m not sure what the agreement was. If he did agree to be 7th D then I am not sure why he’s complaining. It sounds like he expected to be playing regularly and not be a reserve player

They traded for him in the Lindgren deal and healthy scratched him for the rest of the season. For a guy that's likely trying to play for a contract, it definitely makes sense for why he's mad.

 

[Avs44]

Please. CDH is genuinely terrible. It sounds like he's overvalued himself. If his big gripe is lack of game time then that's on him. The Avs gave him a shot in the offseason and he was awful. No surprise that the Rangers didn't want to play him, he was merely a contract that they had to take back from the Avs.

 

[Canucks LB]

The bigger question is if he will leak some of the other problems that could have been going on with the rangers behind the scene.

I doubt it, but it peaks my curiosity.

As for this situation, Not the first time a player was disgruntled, and won't be the last.
It is interesting about how the Rangers did get to him with PR to wait until after the season, makes sense.

Let's see how this plays out

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Laviolette is scum

 

[Reimannsum1988]

I don't see the issue, here. You're not good enough to crack the lineup and were a backup in the first place. Suck it up.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Today I learned that Calvin de Haan is still in the NHL.

 

[CallMeShaft]

It's been a few seasons since he was on the Hawks, but he was cooked during his last season in Chicago. I have no idea how he's still in this league 3 years later.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

He could have gotten into some of the less meaningful games post-elim to be able to audition for next year. It's not like the rangers had some sick defensive lineup this year.

That said, his audition would likely have gone poorly.

 

[tarheelhockey]

The bigger issue is the lack of unified buy-in to the team’s direction. De Haan isn’t a guy who has some reputation for going off in the media. For a guy like him to boil over and start running his mouth is bad news for the state of the organization.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Today I learned that Calvin de Haan is still in the NHL.

???
He never left and has received a good amount of ice time every year. I mean, this may be surprising if you don't pay attention to hockey whatsoever, but I'm not sure why you're trying to score reactions on such an ignorant take.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Perhaps he could try being better at his job

 

[Chaels Arms]

If it wasn't the Rangers and it wasn't this season I'd be perfectly OK with just writing this off as an over the hill vet being disgruntled he's not good enough to crack the lineup. But just within this season and last season you've seen or heard similar sentiments from Barclay Goodrow, Jacob Trouba, and Kaapo Kakko. It's obvious people within this organization are overpromising and under delivering. Hockey players in general and these guys in particular don't put out opinions like these in public unless they feel they've been treated dishonestly.

 

[mphmiles]

If this was a one off situation I might not think much of it, but this is one of a handful of players now that have (publicly or privately) expressed extreme frustrations with the way the organization is being ran.

beat me to it.

Plus all that mid-season drama of disgruntled players being shipped out. I agreed with those moves, but wondered how that situation was allowed to fester so badly in the first place.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

How when they won't even let him play?

 

[miscs75]

On todays episode…

Don't worry. Shesterkin starts year #1 of his retirement contract next season.
