Vince has a new podcast. He discussed Kakko's contract. 2 year bridge. $2M-$2.5M. He brought up Chytil who is at $2.3M as a comparison. The Rangers are planning to carry 22 players on the roster. It doesn't leave much space. No Motte. Gauthier is being shopped for a late round pick. Drury may look to bring a vet D as a depth guy.

We're also getting Blais back who is Motte if Motte were a little better at everything.
do you trust Gallant to actually play him on the 4th line ? Or is Blais going straight to that 2nd line RW?

Going to alienate Kravtsov right off the bat instead of trying to recoup value off the asset that should have never tanked in the beginning

f***ing libor f***ing hajek
 
I'm really worried about Laf getting on PP1 and now. I can see whats going to happen before it happens.

Trocheck PP1; Laf and Kakko can't crack PP1 3 and 4 years in respectively, goodbye young talent

Blais going to get the second line RW over Kakko and Kravtsov

Kravtsov goes on 4th line

Also playing Cuylle and 50 goal scorer Othmann on the 4th line is peak Rongos and would be repeating past mistakes - COUGH Howden COUGH LIAS ..... Keep them as far away from this team as possible until there are legit spots for them.


The taste Gallant left in my mouth was bad by the end of last year, outcoached in every series and questionable personnel decisions. Dont forget, he still refused to give a reasonable answer for the whole Strome Kakko fiasco.

This is my nightmare.
 
This is the thing that drives me nuts about charts. Is Hunt as good a skater as Motte? Can he PK like Motte? Is he a short handed threat like Motte?

No. No. And No.

That being said, unless Reaves or someone else gets shipped out there’s little danger that we need to worry about Motte being a NYR.
Those charts also showed Nemeth was a good player. Some people use them as gospel though.

Blais is probably slotted into our top 9 regardless. Either him or Goodrow.
 
Mega Hypothetical...

If Panarin has another season like this past one.... he'll be asked to waive his NMC

I can see Kadri ending up on the Island.

I don't believe what any of these talking heads spew.

Trocheck is almost certainly going to slide into Strome's spot on PP1 but for how long I don't know. He played the Kreider role on Carolina's PP and that isn't happening here.

Even if Blais goes in RW2 (which funny enough, I don't think is the WORST idea I've ever heard. I wouldn't do it, but you put 2 people who can shoot and dig on a line with Panarin since he won't do either), I don't think it automatically pushes Krav to L4.

If anything, all it does is Push Krav to RW1 and keep the Laf-Chytil-Kakko trio together or if Laf ends up playing 1RW, Krav can slide into 3LW.
 
Carpenter played on Vegas the same time as Reaves. Maybe he was 3rd line. But you’re right it was Nosek now that I think of it
Yes they were teammates briefly, but Carpenter was horrible in Vegas. Hate to be that guy, but I watched him play game in/game out long enough to know he doesn't add much of anything to the lineup. He is literally the McKegg replacement...hopefully he doesn't see much time here.
