Rumor: Rangers Shakeup (Friedman)

[Charlie Conway]

Drury was the culture change. Nearly the entire roster was constructed by Gorton. He has fidgeted very little except giving away a few good players for nothing and signing Trochek.

Aside from Buchnevich, there wasn't a whole lot he got rid of.

He managed to ditch an overpaid Goodrow and a regressing Trouba without having to pay to do so.
You could argue he gave away Morgan Barron and Brett Howden as part of rental deals, but neither of those guys have made it past a bottom-6 role to this point. And we lost Ty Emberson on waivers, who's on the Oilers' bottom pair.

Who are the good players he gave away?

What a disaster. Extending Shesterkin to that deal certainly complicates roster restructuring at this point. Iggy Piggy will keep the team from bottoming out and properly rebuilding

More than a few guys who should have packed an extra bag for this game against Nashville. I feel like this is one if those where a guy finds out he's been traded to the other team right before the game and has to go over to the other locker room.

Nashville and New York can swap players after the game. Both teams just underperforming so far

 

[SoundAndFury]

Extending Shesterkin to that deal certainly complicates roster restructuring at this point.

Shesterkin's contract is 11,5 mil. 5 aging, underperforming 30+ forwards are in the books for 37,2 mil. So yeah, clearly Shestyorkin's contract is the problem here.

If what you said was even remotely close to the truth, the Rangers can trade Shestyorkin for the king's ransom at any point before his new contract kicks in.

Im hoping for a Kotalik/Higgens for Jokinen/Prust on-the-road deal.

In the end we wound up with a bottom 6 catalyst and shed some cap space.

Jokinen, Jokinened himself out the door as usual. But Pruster cemented a role for a few years we havent had since, outside of Kevin Klein.

This club is sorely in need of a Prust/Klein in their prime type player(s).
