Should have listened to you lol. Honestly these last 3 seasons have been a disaster in terms of building a championship caliber team. Assets thrown down the drain, re-signing and signing guys that aren’t good enough to crippling contracts like Zibanejad. Now the Rangers are once again in a spot where they have to spend too much on a goalie just to keep them relevant. Terrible.
First of all they didn't get lucky for 3 rounds. They swept Washington and played fine against Carolina. They were dominated by Florida though. They weren't good enough which I have mentioned. They are still a very good team. It's day 1 of FA and you don't know what is going to happen with the defense. Maybe there is a trade. We don't know. I think Jones will get his shot and I think he will do well. I do think they need another move to upgrade the D and think there is time for that. I also look at things like the additions today, Chytil being healthy, Edstrom, Rempe, Berard, and Othmann pushing for spots, Laf continuing to grow, Kakko having a better year. It all adds up to being a better team than the team that had the most points in the league last year. I also feel Carolina and Florida will be worse so the east is there for the talking. I'm positive. Sue me.
One more wisecrack and I’m getting your account shut down for good.

I was told last night that it was going to be easy to move him. What happened to that?Wife’s hospital residency among factors keeping Jacob Trouba with Rangers
The captain of the New York Rangers is Jacob Trouba and may very well remain so for the foreseeable future.
Basically saying his wife's delayed residency is the reasons teams don't want to trade for him even if they aren't on his list.
Please tell me you're joking....
Seems like that’s what we are gonna do (punt) per Brooks now.
Wouldn't that be grounds to terminate his contract?
1 year at the arbitration number is probably the compromise. There is no depth in Hartford. We need bodies on defense. Really don't understand why there was no depth defensemen signed like in previous years. If they planned on moving on from these guys, you would think they would have brought in a few guys.
No one should dim your light - but want to clarify, I didn't mean they got lucky just last year. A coin flip series against Carolina means they got lucky in my book, but its not the bad kind, just the typical luck you need to move on. Carolina played fine. I am saying for them to win the cup, they would need to get really really lucky rounds 2, 3, and 4 next year and beyond with this group. With Trouba playing meaningful minutes, they cannot win the cup. He is that bad.
Get a grip. They are not punting on anything. They made 2 solid additions today plus they already have a good team plus hopefully a healthy Chytil, better season from Kakko, young guys like Rempe, Edstrom, Jones, Berard, and Othmann pushing for spots. There is a lot of good here added to a team that had 114 points last year. The negative talk here is lunacy.
if carolina won it would have been luck too. wtf, luck isn't a bad thing! lol
