Not for long bud, three weeks from today, the landscape becomes much different.

Nah they'll still find a way to piss him off. Piss all of us off, really.

The Rangers trade Kreider for a pick around 18-25 (along with some other pieces), then draft a boom/bust prospect who is not on the usual lists, and heads implode all over this forum. Book it.

i suppose this is possible...but my thought here would be, why bother? even in a deep draft, most picks 18-25 need 1-2 years of seasoning before the nhl, and assuming they pan out, another couple years to grow into their potential. to me for that expected return timeline, assuming it happens, doesn't do a lot for us with where we are. alternatively, kreider is a guy thats universally acknowledged as being beloved in the room, has a phenominal work ethic, and in the prime of his career. to me he's the kind of example you want your younger guys around as a model. sure maybe he didn't live up to the extreme end of his production assumptions and is definitely a less physical/influential presence when not producing than many would like given his build/skillset, but he's still an asset in a lot of ways. i've mentioned i trust gorton's evaluations/decisions so i'll roll w/ his call, but to me moving him to get there is in all probability at best a lateral move w/ a relatively long horizon of seeing returns. to me, i would have no interest there. in general, i wouldn't want to trade him regardless just for the influence he'd be on the kids in the room and his connection w/ mika on the ice. to me if you move him at all, its part of a package to get back into the top 10 to snag a boldy or krebs - guys that can be legitimate difference makers and sooner than later

My only heart problem is the agita this team gives me

Wtf is agita? Mean angina?

I'm a dude I don't have an angina.

Agita is Italian slang for heartburn or indigestion brought about by aggravation.

Never heard that term before. I’ve got a genetic heart issue so angina is something I need to be aware of.

 

[UnSandvich]

I have Italian family, and can confirm that they definitely use that term

If you have an Italian family, agita is something that comes with every other meal you have together.

I have no Italian family, and can confirm that non-Italians also use that term.

Judging by its spelling and meaning, you might think that "agita" is simply a shortened version of "agitation," but that's not the case. Both "agitation" and the verb "agitate" derive from Latin agere ("to drive"). "Agita," which first appeared in American English in the early 1980s, comes from a dialectical pronunciation of the Italian word acido, meaning "heartburn" or "acid," from Latin acidus. ("Agita" is also occasionally used in English with the meaning "heartburn.") For a while the word's usage was limited to New York City and surrounding regions, but the word became more widespread in the mid-90s.

I always thought the origins were Yiddish....never heard anyone other than the German Jews here in NYC.

Angina? In Russian there are three respiratory illnesses - "prostuda" - cold, "grip" - flu and "angina" - strep

Yeah, and not always from the food.

Definitely a possibility.

After this weekend, I came away feeling there's definitely an interest/focus on forwards with scoring potential that aren't necessarily the names we've batted around here. I think Krebs is on the radar, Pelletier, a few others. On defense, mobility is the word of the day, though that doesn't necessarily mean offense. So while you have a guy like York or Seider on the short list, you have guys like Johnson, McCarthy, etc.
