Panarin took that puck off his foot last night, I imagine his "lower body injury" is related to a sore foot

e: and yeah, no complaints about re-signing Brodz. I wouldn't consider him ideal but he's doing OK in that spot for now and the signing is peanuts
 
That’s a 3 year weighted average. He’s above average this season and can get buried at any point.
Even with that in mind, given his age, this year is not the norm and would lend itself to believe this year’s body of work thus far is not sustainable. Sure his contract can be buried, but go get help for the playoffs.
 
Dubas listening on "everybody except the core" in PIT, according to LeBrun/ Specifically Reilly Smith is mentioned (yes please). Guentzel is a pipe dream but what a fit he would be. Dont mind Eller. Not a lot of rentals but a few guys with 2 years left.

Lmao that is a fair point, however even if there was enough cap room and in this scenario for the Rangers there is, I still don’t believe we would see a guy like Lindgren sit for load management reasons.
He needs to start managing the loads he drops in his pants every time an attacker approaches the blue line

No way Pitts gives us anything "on the cheap".
 
Frank believes Hanifin wants to play in TB. He would sign an extension in Tampa. Chris Johnston said the Lightning are interested in Hanifin. They have Sergachev's LTIR money. What is TB sending to Calgary? Their picks belong to Chicago and Nashville. TB could probably get Hanifin for $7M AAV in Florida. He turned down $7.5M AAV. 8 years.

Emily Kaplan mentioned Vegas could be interested in reacquiring Smith a few weeks ago.

This is the first time he has had an opportunity for prolonged use as a center playing with decent players though. The '3-year' weighted average is a joke in this case too because here are his stats from the last 3 years. He has played almost the same amount of games THIS YEAR as he has the prior two years combined

how is Guentzel not the "core."

He's legitimately their 2nd best player.

Article I read acknowledged that but he is a UFA so I guess they are listening to some extent. I remember seeing something like Crosby going to management to extend him, so I doubt he leaves. I dont envy the position the Penguins are in, but they deserve it.

Eller is the guy. I'd move Brodzinski down a line and play Eller at 3C

He's a UFA at years end and all indications are, he is not re-signing

Eller is a good fit. Laviolette coached him as well. He is over the hill but he was great for the Caps during their cup run many moons ago. 10 goals this year so its not like we'd be getting another Bonino.

I mean cmon. Now we’re going to blame the Teams that “he just wasn’t given a chance”. This is a low hockey IQ player. He has been a plug who at times makes up for a lot of his deficiencies with his speed blinding people. He needs the perfect situation/linemates to hang around in the NHL.

By no means should he be our 3C. 12th/13th forward sure. But the point being made his we must upgrade there.

I'd be curious what his stats show for this season as compared to the 3-year average.

I really don't care how he has looked in a 4th line role playing with Ryan Carpenter from years past. If he fits on that line and produces at a 3rd line measurement, then he fits.
 
You know why that line "works" even when it's ugly? Chris Kreider is a cheat code. I've been telling you guys this for years.

Over his whole career, the Rangers have scored 58% of the goals with Kreider on the ice at 5v5. 12 NHL seasons, different roles, different coaches, different linemates, and the Rangers are beating the shit out of everyone in the stat that matters every time he touches the ice.

He's like a f***ing magic orb.
wuz on da Kreid bandwagon since day 1

just sayin...
