Maybe soon?

First line → Artemi Panarin (LW) • Mika Zibanejad (C) • Pavel Buchnevich (RW)
Second line → Chris Kreider (LW) • Filip Chytil (C) • Julien Gauthier (RW) or Colin Blackwell
Third line → Alexis Lafrenière (LW) • Ryan Strome (C) • Kaapo Kakko (RW)
Fourth line → Brendan Lemieux (LW) • Kevin Rooney (C) • Colin Blackwell (RW) or Julien Gauthier
Spares → Phil Di Giuseppe (LW), Brett Howden (C)

I would like to see this
And then Kravtsov taking the RW on the 2nd line once the KHL season is over with GOAT/Blackwell sliding down to the 4th line. Lotsa balance

If we can sign an RNH (prob too expensive/long of a contract) or Danault (maybe "just right"), without giving up any assets, I'd push Strome to RW for his final year.

First line → Artemi Panarin (LW) • Mika Zibanejad (C) • Ryan Strome (RW)
Second line → Chris Kreider (LW) • Filip Chytil (C) • Pavel Buchnevich (RW)
Third line → Alexis Lafrenière (LW) • Danault/RNH (C) • Kaapo Kakko (RW)
Fourth line → Brendan Lemieux (LW) • Brett Howden (C) • Julien Gauthier (RW)
Spares → Anyone, really.

We can add Kravtsov and trade Strome (and trade Gauthier too, if he fails to take a step or two forward).

This gives us three "winger pairs" for us to figure out our C depth without going full Boggle with the lines. 2022-2023 is the beginning of our window, so we need to figure out our C situation if we're to take steps forward as a team. We have 18 months to figure out what that 22/23 forward roster is going to be. Our D and G is set up already.
 
Damn so just losing the Sunday game due to scheduling issues? Maybe the NYR are being positioned as the backup team, but the Flyers are still the favorite if then can get healthy by the end of the week?

So between last Friday and next Wednesday the NYR will have three, 3 day breaks. In addition to one earlier in the month. Lame.

Lame, but good to get some practice in and give guys like Panarin, Miller and Chytil time to heal.

Where did Chris Kreider go and why do we have Johnny Gaudreau?

Also Danault is around a 55 point player so he's not going on your 4th line.

Lambert sadly not eligible until 2022 . If were bad enough to be in the running for him next year we got some serious problems.

My question is, will Braden Schneider be ready out of camp to make the NHL squad? I want to see what Matthew Robertson & Tarmo Reunanen can do at the NHL level.

How much would Gaudreau & Danault cost in your opinion? Also what would or do you think Buch, Chytil, Gauthier, Lindgren, & Igor cost in 2021-2022 season?

Also, is Brad Lambert projected as a 2021 draftee or 2022 draftee? And where do you see the Rangers moving Strome & Howden to(position or teams/compensation)

Also by the looks of your roster, the following would be protected from the Seattle Kraken expansion draft, Forwards- Kreider, Mika, Buch, Chytil, Gauthier, Lemieux, Defensman- Trouba, Lindgren, Goalies- Georgiev, so it looks like you'd be opting for the 8F/D & 1G combo, instead of 7F, 3D, & 1G, so basically 11 or 8 protected, luckily guys like Kakko, Alexis, Igor, Miller, Krav, Fox, Reunanen, Robertson, Wall, Huska are all exempted, plus of course unsigned picks like Schnieder, Cuylle, Lundkvist, etc....

You don't think Buch is brought back? What about someone like Tarmo Reunanen at LD opposite Nils Lundkvist
 
Do you get aggressive and give Mika a 5 year deal? 7.5M or so? praying he gets back to 'normal'

before he tears up next year and demands 10M+
 
I appreciate the effort from DiGiuseppe and Blackwell but they are journeymen borderline nhlers

need to play younger kids IMO

Telling me why he was wrong on ADA... and in fact he will be play another game as a Ranger and he's being activated next game

They work so hard. But the problem is, once the puck is on their stick they cant do much with it. They have to fight for every inch. You just cant sustain possession with guys like them.
