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

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Is 170 enough? Because that's how many games the Rangers have had an offense near the top of the league for.

AV's system is hard to prepare for in an 82 game regular season and creates shooting percentages that are unsustainable in the playoffs, especially when your top end forwards are worse than most of the Conference's.

 

[Dbrownss]

Please take Kevin Hayes.

Like not for Shattenkirk; just take him.

I lol'd.


I have no idea what army would want for Nash. We have zero use for Nash, at least thats what i tell myself to go to sleep at night.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Fowler to Rangers

Another rental? That went well with Yandle..... We have Clendening Who leads the league in CF% so far this season as a healthy scratch. As long as AV dont understand how dumb that is, we shouldnt trade for a defensemen.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

McIlrath for Fowler?

dont worry i got the joke.

 

[WTG]

Can Buchnevich play center?

If he can a package around Tanev and Buchnevich might work. You got a top 4 D, and one that can play with McDonagh

 

[Hire Sather]

Please take Kevin Hayes.

Guess I missed something, when did Hayes make your list?

No, but he's not going to be available anyway.

 

[Ian Moran Icing]

Why don't they just keep giving Skjei more experience and ice time as the season progresses?

He looked good in the playoffs last year, how does he look this year?

Completely overwhelmed in preseason, but getting better as each game goes on.

 

[Alluckks]

Because we have a clown deciding defensive pairings.

 

[Machinehead]

Guess I missed something, when did Hayes make your list?

When he came in 20 pounds lighter, still somehow slower, and somehow dumber as well.

 

[hooverdam]

Miller for Maatta.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Alot of people think he has been good, i dont think he has been very good. Shouldnt get more than bottom pair minutes right now. But we need a RH top 4, not another LH defensemen.

Mcdonagh-Klein
Staal-Clendening
Skjei-Girardi


Im actually happy if we play with these defensemen and play Girardi on the bottom pair and go after Shattenkirk next summer. Problem is AV keeps playing Holden on the top pair on his offside when he should sit and watch in the pressbox.

 

[Machinehead]

Miller for Maatta.

Where do I sign?

 

[WesMcCauley]

Miller for Maatta.

Dont need another LH defensemen

 

[Sean Garrity]

Vatanen for Miller.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

They also had Letang. There are quite many bluelines I'd take over Rangers for playoffs.
Pens also had Crosby, Malkin and Kessell.

I wouldn't use Pittsburgh as an example for Rangers.

And the Rangers have McDonagh who has started the season very well.

I'm not directly comparing our team to Pittsburgh, but their defense wasn't the most talented, and they still won the Cup because they had a system where they players played well in, they had a lot of offensive talent, and they got good goaltending.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Can Buchnevich play center?

If he can a package around Tanev and Buchnevich might work. You got a top 4 D, and one that can play with McDonagh

He can play any forward position, but not available for trade, unless it was a top player in the league or top young player in the league.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Justin Faulk for a 2nd and a 4th?

If that's what it took, I have a feeling Faulk would be a Ranger already.

 

[One Winged Angel]

When he came in 20 pounds lighter, still somehow slower, and somehow dumber as well.

Absolutely ridiculous.

He's clearly faster and better defensively.

I just can't see what you're seeing at all.

 

[hooverdam]

Where do I sign?

You just have to throw in a bionic knee for Pouliot and it's a done deal.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Ceci for Zibanejad

Absolutely not.

 

[branch]

haha

All hail Dorion

 

[10Ducky10]

Trouba + ?
for
Zibanejad + Skjei + ?...

What would make this work?

how can a system create shooting percentage that are unsustainable in the playoffs (but not the regular season)
