Post-Game Talk: Devil VII

[NickyLongLegz]

This is the only move necessary. Kane and Tarasenko walk. If Kane loves NY so much he can get his hip surgery and sign for league minimum like Spezza/Gio did in Toronto.

Panarin goes, you fill his spot and another top 6 spot with the cap space his departure gives you.

Jones gives us a much needed puck mover aside from Fox. Without Panarin, we have an extra 11.6 to play with to fill 1RW, 3RW and 13F. If Kane really wants NY or bust, he gets league minimum and is 3RW. Can fill 1RW with signing/trade.


Didn't McDonagh has a NMC and Tampa threatened to waive him?

This x10000. Othmann-Tro-x could potentially be a perfect third line, the kids could actually develop their talents in the top 6 and on the power play, and Jones provides much need puck movement. It’s literally just Panarin (and a coach with no system) ruining this team

“Remember how people spoke about Hanks penis?

When's the last time you heard anyone talk about a Rangers penis like that?


I rest my case…”

The prostitution rests?

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Blackhawks fan coming in peace:

Should have gotten rid of Laf/Kakko last year. Drury was trying too hard to prove he was different than past NYR GMs

Also get rid of Trouba as soon as possible.

You’re preaching to the choir dude.

Agree except I think Kakko can still be a useful middle six player. If Drury can bamboozle a team into giving up a 1st rounder for Lafreniere, I'd take it and run.

Panarin and Trouba were not Drury contracts. They're both gone within the next 15 months.

 

[Leonardo87]

Gotta give a shout out to some of the HF Ducks fans, they have been checking in on me, and giving condolences.

No, they don’t want Panarin, lol.

 

[17futurecap]

I forgot they exist

Too drunk, I lost my train of thought, respect to them as well.

 

[mike14]

Yep. I just don't understand the rationale of wanting to trade anyone under 25. Trade Lafreniere? for what a 2nd rounder? People really think we should do that? Trade K'Andre Miller a 23 year old dman?

Can I get a mid-round first and a prospect for Laf? I'd consider it
Can I get a quick, tenacious C/RW prospect for KAM? I'd consider it

I'm not convinced by Laf at all, and he needs a change of scenery.
KAM will be a good player, and there's a fair chance he'd be the best player ouit of his trade, but I don't think he's untouchable and sometimes you have to give up nice things to affect change

 

[kinger8998]

Moving any of the kids would be the dumbest move you could make.

You trade the dead weight vets.... AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THEM

Free up 20M with moving Trouba and Panarin. Try to get what you can.

Just move Trouba down to play with Jones next year, giving him a puck mover and taking pressure off of Miller to do it all. Miller-Schneider. Lindgren-Fox.

Totally agreed on Panarin. He's the key to this. 11.6 million in dead cap come playoffs is a death warrant.

Game 8 gonna be wild

No, they don’t want Panarin, lol.

Wonder if JD wants him back

 

[LionsHeart]

They’ve been trying to fill the void Buchnevich left since that trade. You had a good 1st line with chemistry and they traded part of it away.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Amidst all the negativity which I obviously am on board with, Chris Kreider definitely deserved a shout out. He outkicked his coverage in terms of on and off ice impact in this series. All time leading NYR PO goal scorer. Deserves some props.

We are totally in sync aside from Gallant. I disagree on him entirely, and am a big fan.

Not that me believing that he's not at fault will change anything, he likely wears this loss no matter Drury/Dolans view...easier to change coach than to change 7 players.

 

[Leonardo87]

Game 8 gonna be wild

Game 8 as in the 8th hole on the golf course you mean? Lol.

 

[Zarao71]

The only untouchable on this team is Igor

Kreider-Mika-Kakko looked great in the first month and was never attempted again. Organizational failure

 

[Leonardo87]

Wonder if JD wants him back

I said in the Panarin thread, need to move on, but not sure how it can happen.

 

[CLW]

Drury is going to further put his stamp on this team in the summer. Gorton’s Heroes need a shakeup.

Drury is a HUGE part of this debacle. The MSG wunderkind propaganda apart he's shown nothing.

 

[Machinehead]

Othmann can't skate. Prepare to be let down again.

If there's one thing this organization keeps getting wrong that I can tangibly point to, it's that.

Nobody they draft can skate and they don't seem to work on it.

 

[I Eat Crow]

The team whiffing on multiple top 10 picks over the last 5/6 years tells you everything you need to know. The rot is at the top.

Laf and Kakko are f***ing stars on any other team but here they are barely 4th liners lol

Kakko I give you. David Quinn ruined his confidence instead of nurturing his raw talent.

Lafreniere was never good to begin with.

The Rangers would have found a way to make Sidney Crosby Philip Danault if they won the lottery in 2005.

 

[savebyrichter94]

So this was a disappointed and motivated Panarin amongst others?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

People pencilling Othmann in...you know he also can't skate right

 

[Off Sides]

Going to need to Tampa/McDonagh him: waive the NMC and we can try to find desirable location, or we place you on waivers and you can go to Anaheim

Can't waive a NMC, at least the type Panarin has. It includes a no waive clause unless it's for a buyout, an unconditional waive and even that he can block, and just be bought out. It's a little complicated but there is no waiving him.

 

[ReddestRum]

The only untouchable on this team is Igor

For one more year until he hits his UFA.

 

[Filip Chytil]

The kids are meh and disappointing. If you told me on draft night 2020 that after 3 years, this is who Lafreniere would be, I would've drunk myself to death right then and there.

The veteran core is also disappointing and unable to get it done. Panarin 2 pts in 7 playoff games? Seriously? Kreider showed up, but he's not Tkachuk. Tarasenko played well, but this isn't 2015. Tofu boy nowhere in sight. Vinny- awful. Trouba is brain dead and an albatross at 8M.

I'm pissed and disappointed at the fact that the kids haven't developed and that this veteran core is rotten. Both these things can be true at the same time.

Can the kids be late bloomers? Maybe. I have no idea. Up to this point, I'm disappointed.
