That Trouba contract is really going to hurt in a long run. Have to trade some good players to pay a mediocre 2nd pair D. And I think flat cap has nothing to do with the fact that Troubas contract looks bad. Panarins contract still looks ok dispite the flat cap era.

And it's not like he has had no chances. He gets his pp time, ton of prime scoring opportunities, and nothing to show for. I expect Fox like point production or at the very least elite Defense from a 8 million cap D. It was a mistake signing that contract but we just have to live with it now.

They went from Dan Boyle to Smith to Shattenkirk to Trouba. Rangers are really bad at importing already in the NHL defenders

Fox is calm and under total control.

Chytil is his opposite.

I was proud of the way the Rangers fought their way back into this game.
 
You play Shesterkin because you needed to win yesterday. With a back to back today was the one we’d probably lose regardless. Have to play again Tuesday a back up had to play. That’s not why we lost we lost because our team did nothing for 50 mins. Again prob because they hate their coach. Totally different team in front of Quinn

I don't agree.
If he's 100% fit to play?
It's time to throw this kid into the fire and let things fall as they may.

I do agree that this team is way different with DQ

Question.. Why did this knucklehead start Kinkaid instead of Igor?

Seasons half way done and he still can't get the goalie situation right

Did anyone else notice Shesterkin making some faces after that ridiculous save? Maybe he tweaked that groin a little...

3 games in 4 days is how a goalie re-injures himself. Quinn is a donkey but he made the right decision not starting Igor.

Agreed. I think Igor definitely needs to get more starts going forward but I think there's a nice balance between playing more and playing 3 in 4 days immediately coming back from a groin injury. The bigger issue is that Georgiev has completely shit himself to the point where Kinkaid has to be considered for starts.
 
Optimistically, I really am not so sure they need to move Buch by trade if they decided not to.

This off-season

Non arbitration eligible RFAs

Chytil, Gauthier, Howden, Hajek, can't imagine any big contracts there

Lingren, I think Rangers could decide to go longish term there at a good price if he and they are willing.

Buch is arbitration eligible, they could keep him for a year.

Shesty has a couple RFA years left, are they going to go nuts there?

They have a ton of buyout space ending, including ADA coming off the books. Also pending UFA they really do not need to keep, Smith, JJ, DGP.


Then next off-season again they would have choices between Zbad, Buch, Strome. If Kakko is still as he is now, not much a contract going there.

Fox would be the big one, they should try to sign him long term, yet it takes him also wanting to go that direction.

I guess overall, I don't really see the need to immediately trade Buch due to the cap. If Kakko, Laff don't light it up ever on the entry levels, why are they going to spend that much on them in their 2nd contracts?

Don’t think you HAVE to trade Buch yet but if you can get back a top 6 C prospect such as Lundell or Newhook I think you do it.

They hate the coach and then tried at the end?

That makes a lot of sense.

you think I care about garbage time goals by Quadruple A players? This team plays completely different with Quinn.

I love selective amnesia.

The Rangers could have easily been up 2:0 or 3:0 after the first and the game would have developed completely different. Did you sleep through the first or something?

Under Knob, Blackwell and Rooney looked like ECHL fodder. Quinn's first game back they're our best players lol. I think there might be something to that idea that Quinn's system works well for those grinder types.

Strome and Buchnevich are at PPG. Panarin and Zibanejad last season were at their best PPG production too by not a small margin. You mean these grinder types?

Once the rangers activate their defense, they are a different team. Yes we are young at the backend, but there is also a lot of talent there. He refuses to do it until we are down in the third. I realize you can give up an odd man rush the other way, but when it comes to the flow of the game and the puck possession the rangers have, the whole team looks way better and far more involved. I know we are young but he can’t wait until the last 15-20 min of a game to do this. Rangers had some bad luck, especially in the 2nd, but when your PP is so predictably bad, and everything on offensive has been stagnant for the first 20 let alone 40 min and you refuse to adapt, your shooting yourself in the foot. They could have tied this game if he acted earlier. Plus we are very young. Chalk it up to learning experience if you want, but IMO the coach has to realize the situation and change earlier then he did in this one.

Miller hitting rookie wall resulted in him stopping doing a lot of good plays in transition and offensive zone.

Haven’t seen a post yet that Quinn is ruining Miller but I will give it 36 hours.

Maybe, just not so sure teams are going to trade those sorts, or if the Rangers want to go with more prospects who are going to take some years to do stuff. Seem more like it will be a RNH or Monahan like player coming back.

you’re kidding right? They had 7 shots in 2 periods. That’s like me saying. I easily could have been a rockstar if things developed differently

they were horrific

Agreed....didn't the announcers say they went about 17 minutes without a shot on goal?
