I like Halak but damn we would have the smallest goalie tandem in the league.

Guess that allows defenders to keep similar priorities in front of each netminder. Limit screens and close deflections.
 
Apparently Marek says the Rangers are still in on Miller even if they sign Trocheck. Would need VAN to retain and it would be a straight rental but it would be a really formidable forward group to go for it this year.

I very much will believe it when I see it
Makes sense, Rangers are going to try to win and adding Miller and Trocheck would be pretty huge.

I think they're banking on Newhook being that 2C. I don't blame them, Newhook is a good talent and will fit in that high-octane Avs offense.
Not saying you're wrong but he's not established as that yet. Just like Chytil isn't quite yet as well. Being sheltered in the playoffs at 21 is much different than getting 2c responsibilities.
 
Now get Michael Ryder out of retirement and, assuming we keep our 2nd round pick next year, we will have a great package to trade for Patrick Kane at the deadline.

Michael Ryder is in retirement but still rumored to go to either Boston or Montreal.
 
rangers will be tied to everyone until that player signs. it is good marketing for the agents

I think I could see it, but that means Chytil is for sure a goner in a potential Miller trade and Miller is probably just a 1 year rental.

Zib-Miller-Trocheck down the middle is a very good center group. Would be among the best in the league.
 
IMO, Avs just showed with enough speed (total speed of your game including moving the puck) you can break through. Tampa tried to run that playbook and had the ice tilted against them most of the series. Devils are setting up to be similar "pinball wizards".
Honestly Makar makes that team work. Nevermind that McKinnon and Rantanen are not just speed guys but physical. COL also had Kadri as a big piece. They had plenty of nastiness and physicality with their speed. NJD come NO WHERE near that COL model, they dont have a Makar and don't have the size and strength in their speed guys.

not sure if you're serious. Am I wrong but if we sign trocheck lets say for 5.75 and Kakko for 2.5 and Halak for 1.5 don't we have like a million dollars left under the cap?

They have no one as good as Toews on D much less Makar

I still remember the first day of free agency 2008 when we signed Patrick Rissmiller to a 3/3 contract and people here were optimistic.

He only played 2 games for us, but it felt like 100.

I no longer get excited for free agency. I sit alone, and panic.
