Rangers have lost 6 out of their last 7 games. What would you do if you were Dolan (the owner of the team) or Drury (the GM)?

Don't care, I'm a fan, I watch for entertainment and out of love not to be a keyboard warrior about how many 123 XYZ's my favorite sportsball team has won. It's not coming out of my pay and I'm not some betting freak.

If Drury and the Rangers plan on pulling a New Jorsey Debbies and taking a year off to get a lottery pick and some money to spend, so be it. They'll be back soon enough to dogfight with the rest of the Metropolitan.

Yet you carried on about breaking hearts and things working when they haven’t. So, which is it?

Fire Drury

If they're blowing it up, Shesterkin and Lafreniere should be the only untouchables. I believe they should trade Panarin for a haul.

Fox and Cuylle, too. Everyone else can be had if the price is right.

Why have the Rangers regressed so bad this year?

This is the same team who was the best regular season team last year?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Barzal I could see, why would Buffalo trade Thompson though?

He's built like a palm tree?

 

[ijuka]

Goodrow was the glue that held the entire team together.

Where are they supposed to get a 1C? You make it sound like they can just stroll into the nearest bodega and pick one up

It definetly isn't easy. Centers and defensemen are the hardest positions to get via trade/free agency.

I caught today's highlights and... yeah. It's not even that they're trying to do something and doing it poorly, or maybe doing the wrong thing for the team they have, it's that I can't actually tell what they're trying to do/be as a team. They seem like they have no identity and for me that very much starts with the coach.

They should have gone all in on Eichel.



A year? My man, outside of the Herculean Hall season, NJ have had several years off lmao.

They DID go all in on Eichel but the Pegulas, out of spite, absolutely f***ED the NYR because of a petty media feud strung up by fans. It was ridiculous. Then BUF trades Jack for literal peanuts (minus Tuch) out to Vegas. Rangers get shafted even when they're actively trying to do some real business. That's how it's been since forever. Certain GMs don't want to do business with a market like NY because it's too many eyes.
Had the Sabres agreed to the Rangers offer they'd be sitting pretty here with guys like Buchnevich and possibly Laf and the Rangers most likely would've had a cup in 22' or this year, it would've been a win-win.

Same type of thing will happen with Brady Tkachuk, he will finally ask out, Rangers will press hard with a huge overpay offer but of course Ottawa out of spite will turn their heads and walk away and probably gift him to the Devils or Flyers. Heaven forbid an asset you like goes to the Rangers. That just can't happen.
