LeBrun: NYR will do everything they can to trade for a Top-4 D

[deckercky]

Unless a team is good enough to compete for the Cup, this really isn't the year to invest in extra defencemen considering the upcoming expansion draft.

 

[BB88]

The Rangers don't need a top 4 D. We'd like to add one, but the defense is playing very well so far this season.

The team seems a lot better than last season.

We don't need to overpay for a top 4D.

So no Cup for New York?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Justin Faulk for a 2nd and a 4th?

 

[GOAT AINEC]

In Gorton we trust!

He did an amazing job retooling in the offseason. All we need is a top 4 defenseman to be a legitimate contender again.

Our offense and goaltending is top 5.

No, it is not.

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Edler or Tanev. Take your pick.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

No, it is not.

Yes, it is.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Edler or Tanev. Take your pick.

What's the price for Tanev

 

[Chan790]

Yes, it is.

Man, I think you might be the only person that thinks so.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Edler or Tanev. Take your pick.

Could see Benning dealing Edler but doubt that he deals Tanev unless it's for massive overpayment.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Man, I think you might be the only person that thinks so.

What would you rank them then? Finished 7th in scoring last season and got better this season and currently tied for 2nd in scoring right now.

 

[Machinehead]

No, it is not.

The offense easily is. It's the goaltending I question.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I laughed at the phrase everything they can. Everything they can would include players like Kreider, McD, etc. They are not going to do everything they can. They are going to try to improve the team not make a lateral trade.

Top 5 in the metropolitan for sure.

Top 5 in the metropolitan for sure.

I use facts, you use a ridiculous opinion. Cool..

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

So no Cup for New York?

Pittsburgh won the Cup with three top 4 defenseman, and a bunch of bottom pairing defenseman.

I'd like to add a top 4 defenseman, but I think we have a good enough defense. People exaggerate how bad our defense is. The way our players are playing, we have a top 10 defense in the league, and even last season when our defense was very bad, we were still 15th, so it wasn't as bad as some people think.

 

[deckercky]

I use facts, you use a ridiculous opinion. Cool..

I don't think it's ridiculous to say the Rangers offence is top 5 in the division.

 

[Machinehead]

Got a point there

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

No, it is not.

The goalie is top 5. Not even something I'm going to argue about, waste of time. He just is, and everyone who wants to be fair will accept that.

Our offense is currently 4th in the league, last season it was 7th, the season before 3rd, so I'd say there's a good argument that we have a top 5 offense.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Seems like it's a little early to be planting a flag on that top-5 hill (or anywhere tbh).

 

[Ducks in a row]

Fowler to Rangers

Offense has dragged the Rangers kicking and screaming to the playoffs in two consecutive years and looks even better this year. How big does the sample have to be?

Big enough that we can see how other teams that also improved are faring.

People think our offense can't be good because we don't have a Crosby or Kane while they continue to finish well inside the top 10 every year and are as deep and fast as ever this year.
