I was speaking tongue in cheek. Those computers were about a powerful as Texas Instruments calculator.

Two words about the moon landing...Stanley Kubrick.

Ah. Well two more words… conspiracy theory. Haha.

It’s just hard to be ambivalent after what we gave up.

Three weeks ago I wanted to trade Panarin and had zero interest at all in Kane, but that was when Kane was looking seriously injured and it was possible that one of the kids might be part of the trade.

I am still skeptical that this team will win it all, but they remain in a good place from a prospect perspective (relative to the age and success of the team) and if nothing else this is going to be very fun to watch.

Hopefully we at least win a round.

He lost some money out of the paper moves, right? How is he going to be compensated?

Hes not that would be cap circumvention. Unless you take him to a strip club.

Lots of gift cards from Drury maybe? To Cheesecake Factory, Dunkin, Starbucks, Macys?

Doesn't sound like he cares much, why worry about it?

I asked Vince that on Twitter, and I was accused of crying for a millionaire by a very pleasant fellow. Twitter is one of the worst places on Earth, probably right behind the NYPOST comment section.

It's OK to be curious about something like this.

I was too, but when I saw the quote it struck me as a kid who sees the bigger picture. Which was nice, he doesn't seem slighted by it at all.

 

[Machinehead]

So most of you would subscribe to the argument that Kane is a better player than Martin St. Louis was at the time we traded for him

That's actually kind of tough for me.

MSL was coming off an Art Ross and wasn't as much of a complete void defensively.

We're not asking Kane to do anywhere near as much as we asked of MSL in terms of importance to the team's scoring. We have two other forwards as dangerous as Kane.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The Rangers will probably be able to get him some type of marketing deal to make up for the few bucks he lost out on.

I'm not sure Schneider literally even is a millionaire yet LMAO

Yeah, I feel like Kane is what this team needs right now more than just about anything. Real secondary scoring. MSL on that team was the primary weapon a lot of games. Nash was bad during the first season MSL was with us, for example.

You can say any/every slur under the sun right now on Twitter and not get banned. It's an insane cesspool.

The only thing you can get banned for is criticizing Musk. I kid you not. I've said just about anything just to test the rules. I never even caught a warning. I caught two separate 7-day bans for criticizing Musk (no profanity, no slurs, etc.). Was wild, wild stuff.

Avoid Twitter - at least the comments.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

only Canadians on the team are Laf, Harpur, and Goodrow

Schneider

Yes and MSL was very mid the second year when Nash was lighting it up.

Just no comparison offensively to what we used to have.

Forget Kane or Panarin; Mika Zibanejad would look like Vishnu walking into the 11-12 locker room.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

All of this said, I'd give just about anything to see Kane stick around another year or two on a sweetheart deal.

$1,301,478 career earnings in the NHL so far. After tax, he's definitely not a millionaire yet.

The thing that is so mind blowing about these moves is we don't really need anything out of Kane or Tarasenko. It's just all bonus.

Without a doubt.

One thing we get SHOULD be a lethal PP2. It'd be great to rest PP1 a bit more.

We kind of do though. Well, we need Kane to produce to his norms in the Playoffs if Panarin no shows again. That's the big question mark.

If Panarin and Kane produce to their capabilities, I dont see how we lose.

You gave me a real response to the question to Vince on Twitter, appreciate you taking my question in good faith!

We will need to score a TON in the playoffs, in my opinion.

Yeah if Panarin no-shows we need Kane to be Kane. Or Tarasenko to be Tarasenko. Or Chytil to go on a tear. But let's have Panarin just show up in the first place!

There's a lot of different pathways to success now.

Plus, you don't give away Andy Welinski for someone you don't need.

i'd like a lethal PP1...

I never said we don't need Cooper Zech.
