I went with trouba, mika, and Igor as the stars. Trochek was a standout too. Team effort but those three really set the tone and led the team tonight imo.

Not to harp on Igor, but us having the first lead of the game is SO important and happens way too rarely this season. That's what we need Igor for. He got us to the 2nd up 3-0 and we took off from there. If he's turned a corner, not even Meier worries me in the devils. Let's hope.

The Devils will still be a tough out. Wish the Blues had gotten Meier
 
Gutsy and passionate display across the board. Except for Miller and his boneheaded play. Still, way more positives than negatives to take from this one! Truly impressed.

This cap management shit the team is doing is lowkey embarrassing

Actively hurting the teams chances to win games

It’s a bit of a circus, but with the intent of icing the best possibly playoff roster. I don’t hate it.

Embarrassing for the league... I agree.

For the Rangers? This is the team playing by the rules that the league enacted.

the cap blows but the Rangers could have managed their situation better if they were that hot for Kane.

Actively sitting two players in a game for this is again, embarrassing

If they weren’t idiots carrying 22 players all year, this wouldn’t be an issue. They knew the stupid rules and didn’t give themselves much flexibility with them. So now they’re scrambling.

All that said, a regular season game or two doesn’t really matter for them much anyway. There’s about a 90% chance we play the Devils in the playoffs unless something absurd happens.

We didn't know ahead of time that Kane was forcing his way here for next to nothing

Are we sure it's next to nothing? No first round pick?

We didn't know and there's nothing embarrassing about doing whatever it takes to get the best playoff roster

I think the issue is that they weren't expecting to get Tarasenko and Kane so now they are scrambling to get some space they didnt know they would need.

If the goal is to put together the best playoff roster, they should’ve been looking to accrue cap space all year anyway - Kane or no Kane. Accruing cap space should’ve been a given and something people have complained about all year.

Drury is certainly a wizard on the trade side. But he does some head scratching asset management otherwise. Small stuff, sure. But it’s also mind numbing at times.
