We cornering the market on d-men under 6’?
Brannstrom is on his 4th team since the end of last season. Ottawa. Colorado. Vancouver. Rangers. He cleared waivers a few weeks ago. AHL player. In a league where D are gold, Brannstrom has been passed around more than a girl at a Jeffrey Epstein party.

My feelings on the trade

We still have 93 and 20 hugging it out and that's unacceptable.

Plus miller and Lindgren remain. Although we have a good miller now so that's something I guess.

Not seeing this as anything more than chasing rainbows. Miller is an oldish 31 in my book. However, if I were Canuck fan, I would be sick. The return is very um... below average.

End of the day, we're even older than before.
Lindgren will get a contract extension. Watch. Fox will demand it.
 
Canucks fan here.
Enjoy Jt. Miller.... guy is a BEAST..two-way, hits, awsome shot, above average hands, good hockey iq.
He'll score 100 pts with Panarin no doubt.

What's the deal with this Mancini guy? he's 230 pounds lol, can he even skate?

Mancini moves really well. He played at Northern Michigan on their top pair as a stay at home D. Played 3 years there and signed with the Rangers at the conclusion of their season last year. He finished the season in Hartford and was getting raves from former Oilers defenseman Stanley Cup champion Steve Smith (then the Hartford coach) pretty much from his first game and was solid right throughout the AHL playoffs and they went into the third round.

He had a great training camp and kind of shocked me in that he was bringing the puck up the ice and attacking the goal so much. I think going on the attack is a new wrinkle to his game and it's one reason his season has been so up and down. He's still finding his way with that. He made the team out of his first training camp and deserved to but he started to struggle and went back to the minors though he was recalled briefly as an injury call up.

I think he's going to be a solid NHL defenseman....possibly top 4. He's got to figure out how to pick his spots if he's going to be a two way defenseman but if he sticks to just defending he knows how to do that. I like him a lot.

I don’t think this team is anywhere near a cup, but you just don’t get star centers for that kind of value any more, especially under contract with a skyrocketing cap.

Team is still 3-4 major moves away from being a competitor, but on paper it’s a no brainer.

We knew they weren’t going to rebuild so in for a penny now I suppose. Get rid of The dead weight and get a blueliner
This. Think that’s about all that needs to be said. Well put.
 
I wonder if Chytil and Kakko hook up at some point, they were pretty close and now play next to eachother
 
Guys dont usually pop at his age. In a vaccum the value is good but the makeup on this center corps is really a disaster waiting g to happen now

If he is our top center and getting pp1 time he'll be point a game til end of year and it will likely get us to the playoffs, that's my prediction. Getting the weight off him from Vancouver is gonna set him free.
 
So is JT always going to be a C or do they get a 3rd line C free agent and move him to RW?

I’d trade Kreider in the offseason for a 1st and younger player

He'll be a C imo. This may be the pressure Mika needs to accept a trade in the offseason, he's essentially a 3rd line center now,pp2 and pk guy now.
 
The fan fiction that people have in their heads about Miller's "leadership" is really something to behold.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
Eh, this was a trade to make. They should be a bit more fun to watch now, at this point I'll take.
I couldn't feel worse about FIL, finally an exciting to watch young guy with a big heart.
Wish him well.
Being a Ranger fan, it aint easy.
 
Every single player is one headshot away from retirement. Look at Sauer for example. There is a legitimately good chance that in a year or two we have an entire center group that is quickly fading or faded and not one young player who can play that position.

Come on. Chytil's much more susceptible to it and much more likely to be out long term than the average NHL player because he's already had FOUR concussions that we know of.

He's clearly a much more elevated risk than a guy like, let's say, JT Miller and a whole lot less accomplished.

The Rangers won this trade with a slam dunk. It's not close.

Laf and Cuyle are now the only players in our top 9 under 30.

Feels like just a few years ago we started a rebuild, and in one season we skipped to the retirement home stage of it.

Kaliyev is on line 3.

I’m going to be pissed when Laviolette keeps Mika and Kreider on PP1 instead of Miller today.
