I erroneously thought that moving ONLY Trouba would fix the team. Drury please move Lindgren too - two birds just the same as with Trouba. Then see if it gets the effect and if not - identify the next piece to move. It’s ok to have a reset season. Luckily we have a 1st in the upcoming draft (please tell me I’m not wrong)

Take the goodies away, expensive flights, no cattering, all the perks of being a Ranger and see if that provides motivation to this bunch of huggers. Fly them all coach and feed them taco bell, stay at the comfort inn

man how f***ing bad are the Sabres
This is the team that I'm looking to rip off now that Ottawa's owner seems to have a blood vendetta against us and Larry Brooks.

Rookie GM. No playoffs in 10 years. Pressure upon pressure to get there. Shit ton of talent on that roster.

Scott Neidermayer reincarnate wouldn't help this team. Fundamentals are severely lacking.

This group is far too disparate, with individuals seeing and approaching the game in vastly different ways, with a set of coaches on top completely mismatched to that group again to make things worse. Then a GM who wants gritty blue collar hockey lording over the mess. It takes a certain talent to create a mess this big.

I doubt anybody coming from Juniors or college will be much help for this club ....that would be a minimum project of 2-4 seasons.....maybe McKenna after a couple if we got him and had some decent guys around him....and we could have a decent crew left to support him .

The "leadership" aren't leaders, it's evident they are all pretty much coasting out there. Time to give the team to the next generation, get a new coach and lock it down, play with speed and structure.

It doesn’t even look like they’re trying at this point.
The best (worst) was late in the game when 4th-liner Chris Kreider lost a faux puck battle to the left of Quick, fell on his butt, and just stayed there for what seemed like 5 seconds. Totally completely checked out.

It’ll be a miracle if it doesn’t spread across the whole locker room.
