sure the past few weeks the rangers havent been winners.. but the past few seasons they have been..
What have the Rangers been largely under Sather's caretaking?
well 20/20 hindsight is real....
So is the ability to judge real time and to have foresight.
after 2011- everyone was thinking the rangers were a stud away from the cup after losing to the devils..
Who is this "everyone"? Most saw a hardworking team that was better than the sum of their pars.
it made sense to get nash.. starting to look like the lindros deal.. but everyone makes that deal 10/10..
It did not make sense to get Nash and not everyone would do that trade. The trade disrupted the apple cart and took away from the team.
Glen is suppose to know nash and gabby wouldnt gel? or the lockout would hinder their whole season?
Yes, because experience is the best teacher. And he cannot learn from his own mistakes.
who ****ing thought losing dubi, and artie would be a big deal.. i surely didnt..
You may not have. However there were plenty of warnings of what tearing apart the chemistry would do.
who thought losing prust would be a big deal?
The people that thought that $2.5 for a glue 3rd liner was money well spent.
nhl is a business first and foremost.. losing dubi and prust were business decisions.
No, they were bad management decisions. And bad cash management decisions.
should glen forsee injuries aswell? i think losing nash and cally for chunks of the season is a **** deal..
A prudent GM always plans for injuries. That is why there is such thing as depth. And injuries are no excuse. Each team deals with them.
every deal has the potential to be a **** deal.. but for the most part when glen/nyr makes these deals it makes sense.. better then making no ****ing sense at the time of the deal..
Umm....most of Sather's deals make sense? Want to try that one again?
people beg and scream rangers need more offense.. so they fire torts, gets AV an offensive coach..
Again, who are these people you refer to? Most knowledgeable fans were happy with the on ice product.
signs a guy oozing offensive skill in pouliot..
And lacking in the ability to put it all together and play hard. Tell me, do you think that Sather magically saw something that the previous 5 teams did not?
i think a degree of that is on the players.. how is sather/nyr suppose to know a player isnt going to play to same way in ny as his prior team?
Again, how about experience?
nyc orginal six team isnt the place for every player.. some players thrive here, some sink big time... how can you know prior to a deal wheter you are trading for a new york ranger, or just another professional hockey player..
Because each player needs to have something that shows you that they can play under the bright lights.
