funny huh...

hank basically wanted torts gone

step giving hank a hard time during playoffs

seeing a trend here

get out of here with this garbage.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

But he cant.

Most didn't think he would be more than a 3rd liner. Lets see if he can improve at the position.

Its not like he's incapable of it. He's relatively good defensively, good on draws, big body, he theoretically should be able to.

Might take some improvement though.

 

[nevesis]

eh oh! TONY DEANGELO FROM JOISEY!

 

[Gardner McKay]

I just hope they don't decide to throw money at Shattenkirk, Thornton, and Marleau.

#7 is a really good spot. They'll get a very good player there if they can not mess it up.

That would be the most Rangers thing ever

Although, I wouldn't hate Thornton on a 1 year deal.

 

[Ail]

**** it trade everyone for firsts, let's just go for broke. Blow it up. Then we can draft everyone's favorite prospect to be who will bust.

This is absurd.

 

[Anthony5967]

Wow that is really quite lovely

Staal will anchor any pair he is on. If the NYR had nuts they would do a Holden-Bereglazov pair. Holden had 30+ pts. Anybody saying to deal him or that he is the 7 is nuts.

I was thinking that, but didn't want to say anything.

2010. Dylan McIlrath at #10

TIL 10 is higher than 7

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This trade only makes sense if another C trade is coming. I am not convinced that any center they draft at 7 can play in the NHL this year

So I guess we wait

Such a smart trade for NYR. Their window to win is closing, no point pretending otherwise. Start rebuild now.

People really like this move for the Rangers

i really need to take Stepan's advice right now and relax, because I'm really not liking the value we got from this trade.

our center depth opening night is?

1. Nieves
2. Zbad
3. Hayes
4. Hayes again?

Long way to opening night. We have a lot of cap space. Plenty of additional moves will be made.

The trade had nothing to do with Henrik. Gorton and co. are very worried that Stepan is declining already. They wanted to move him before the NTC kicks in. THey almost moved him last summer. They even listened to offers for him at the trade deadline this year.

You're basically signing him for half a season with his injury recovery and age.

Hard pass. Might as well look at Gagner if you can't find a trade partner.

you get out of here with this garbage too.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

 

[Rangers2319]

This is absurd.

lol just saying what i see, sounds ******** though

 

[Clown Fiesta]

The scary thing to me is how much of this cap space they're going to throw at Nash's BFF Thornton.

 

[Griffinbw]

TIL 10 is higher than 7

Lol. That's the closest we've come in ages

He's not wrong.

Did you watch the playoffs? Holden was scary bad.

Does Damien Cox could as people now?

 

[GregSirico]

Waiting for Gorton to pick someones pocket who needs cap space or wants to dump someone.

But if we go out and resign Smith and Shattenkirk for big money is this really a rebuild?

Just worried the Rangers get stuck half-in, half-out like they always seem to do. If you're going to do the rebuild then do it right, all the way.

It seems more popular with pundits and neutrals than it does here. Is it a case of us overvaluing Stepan?
