Rumor: Rangers Shakeup (Friedman)

[SladeWilson23]

Every fanbase has complaints about ex-coaches. I'm sure most Blues fans were ready to move on from Berube by the time he got the ax in St. Louis, as much as they appreciated the Cup. There are a LOT of Penguin fans that don't want to see Sullivan behind the bench despite delivering 2 Cups to Pittsburgh.

Point being, you have to take what fans say about former players/coaches with a grain of salt. Another good example is Montreal fans telling us that Kovacevic sucks and will revert back to being a replacement-level defenseman any day now, despite him playing very well with the Devils this season. Players and coaches can evolve and perform better in different situations.

Agreed. I'm sure John Hynes has learned from his mistakes here and with Nashville. I'm actually happy for him for what he's doing in Minnesota.

Dolan doesn't like the status quo with his teams, always needs to shake things up and propel them "higher" if he thinks there's more to get out of his teams. His Knicks just had a great season last year, and what does he decide must be done? Massive shakeup with the Randle/Divincenzo for KAT trade.

It's what he does as owner of the NYR and NYK. He can't sit still even if the team had a great season last year and maybe is off to a slower one this year.

I don't think there's evidence that it's Dolan's making and why would you want management to be complacent? The Rangers showed they have a ceiling last year and this year's play is not some bad breaks. They're one of the worst defenses in the NHL.

Season over for NYR then. They ain't going anywhere with Trouba as captain.

I can't see them going anywhere with Zibanajed and Trochek as the 1-2 punch at centre and both with no movement clauses.

But Trouba as captain always surprised me. Who takes that salary? There's a lot of teams that need hard nosed RD so there is probably a market with some retention.

Thought of this thread as I was curious when it was relative to the struggles of the Rangers.

Did the front office know it was gonna turn bad or did these rumors help drive down team confidence?

They were already on a losing skid before he said anything. The front office knew things were bad and it got leaked that they were considering changes.

At this point the team needs a massive overhaul. The veterans are sulking and the kids keep working their asses off. They need to move out the old core and hand the reins over to the next generation.

Their play was already at a 3-8 level of bad, they were just winning games they didn't deserve to win. Objectively people saw this coming.

How do you go from cup contender to rebuild in less than 8 months???

They were as cup contenders as the kings were past few years. Pretenders living off PP

I think Boston won the presidents trophy on 2014 then missed the playoffs the following two seasons.

 

[Smitty426]

Panarin over achieved last year (good on him). A couple yrs of long playoff runs kicks your ass physically and mentally. A year older on some of these guys probably makes a difference. Shesty cant do it all, every night! And the D was always suspect outside of a couple guys.

 

[toddkaz]

If the Rangers want to win the cup they should trade with Buffalo.

is zibanejad done? or could he potentially bounce back

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Predicted is a really really bad choice of words. At least they used three different pictures of Kakko. Lol

Context needed for timing.

10 games including the oilers game they were out scored 29-28--with 3 games they gave up 6 goals. The went 6-4 during this time.

Teams played
Sens
NYI
Buffalo
Wings
Jets
Sharks
Seattle
Nucks
Flames
Oilers


NYR were suppose to be one of the top teams in the east. Looking at that list of teams and seeing they went 6-4 and were outscored 29-28. Do you think that is where the concern started. The handling of the Trouba trade may have caused the team to lose the dressing room

it was the 6-3 loss to Buffalo that I think got them rangers concerned.

Now Rangers fans can correct me on this but they looks bad in a few games they won.

Why do you always post shit and try to make it sound more legit than it is?

This is nothing more than a piece about another piece where a guy is f***ing guessing where Kakko could be traded.

 

[Fjordy]

We win 6-1, probably our best achievement this season.

 

[Barnaby]

He could and probably should bounce back. I get the feeling it’s more mental in his case. He’s 31 not 38 or coming off major surgery.

With that said, his contract runs through 2030 so that’s a lot of risk to take on.

He also has a full NMC, so does he want to take his young family from NYC to WPG? Who knows…
