I've identified this year's Beauvillier even though Beauvillier could still be this year's Beauvillier. Don't know if I'm ready for the reveal. Cised.

Its not.

Trust me, they can make it happen if they want to. Problem is this organization has a LONG history of falling in love with players who aren't very good/used to be good but are currently bad. Fear the same is happening with Lindgren who is a clear detriment to the team no matter how much people don't want to admit it.

I can understand the apprehension of disturbing the room, but its not a big enough of a draw back considering how bad Lindgren has been this year. He's always been miscast in that role and its rearing its ugly head because hes been sub replacement level this year. A ton of guys would be an upgrade, doesn't have to be someone due a big contract. Theres no need to McDonagh Fox with his Girardi.

It’s been barely over 1/4 of the season. It’s more realistic to expect Lindgren to regain his form from last year than trying to find his replacement and hope it will work out AND not cost an arm and a leg. Got to head to @RangerBoy - there’s really no room for another top-6 D, the best hope is to maybe find 7th D to supplement Jones in depth. Similar in long term too. IMO Lindgren is still one 4-year contract away from Girardi / Staal situation.

And a terrible contract to go along with those numbers.

Fast left for Carolina for the 20-21 season, Goodrow didn't sign until the 21-22 season. I don't think they waited a year to replace a bottom six wing.

They didn't put in a strong effort to resign Fast to make room for Kakko and Kravtsov, which should be quite the cautionary tale to people wanting to earmark a top 6 C spot to Chytil. Goodrow had nothing to do with any of that.

This is our current reality, regardless of when those deals were signed.

Chychrun was the play... I'll live in the past

could have landed him with the cost of Copp and Tank.. idealogy differences.

p.s. I do not want Hanafin at UFA money

Chychrun is always hurt and this board would go into meltdown if we gave up that much to watch a guy play 10 or 12 games and miss the rest of the season like he did last year. I like Chychrun but you can't ignore his health and if he is healthy he is going to get more than 7 a year on his next deal and that contract could be terrible due to him missing so much time due to injuries. Guy is made of glass.

Again how do you fit the cap?
Hanafin is 27 and has never been a top pairing D. Lindgren might be playing over his head, but I dont see hanafin playing the same style lindgren does, which helps lindgren play over his head.

You want to improve our team, and thats the same thing we all do, but if lindgren takes a 5y x 4.5 million deal, vs hanafin at 7x7 or something like that. I run to sign lindgren because the gap isn't "that big"

I dont think you know who Hanifin is. Guy is absolutely a 1st pairing dman and playing 23 mins a night with Andersson in Calgary. The gap between Hanifin and Lindgren is massive. Dont believe me go to the main boards and start a thread stating that and you will be laughed at by neutral fans. Not trying to make fun of you but Hanifin is light years better than Lindgren at literally almost everything except for getting beat up.

For the sake of your own credibility NEVER suggest going to the main board to resolve a Rangers board argument.
In this particular instance first try to address what @IDvsEGO started his post with: how do you reconcile the cap difference? The unquestionable factor FOR Lindgren is that he’s playing on the first pair for significantly less than first pair D AAV.

Thank you!
I’m not saying hanafin isn’t an upgrade.
I’m saying Lindgren is 3m this year, maybe 4-5 on a long term deal.
Hanafin is 7-9 depending.
That’s a huge gap and we don’t have the cap for that and it makes us very thin elsewhere.

Thats ridiculous. So when you go to the main boards and discuss players on teams that you don't root for your opinion is garbage?

The cap hit has been discussed in detail by numerous people including myself for both this year and next. He fits with plenty of roomto spare if lindgren is traded for him. The other unquestionable factor is while he plays on the first pair for a lower AAV he is a blackhole on offense and costs the Rangers significant production. Frankly he isn't very good at anything.

If this team can go out and find a player to play with zib and kreider we have something

Kakko if he ever comes back, or Othmann. I think the pieces are here.

Vince may have read that nonsense that he wasn't a good signing by Drury. This game made those post look silly again.

On a nightly basis. He’s been our best player when you combine the production, #1 in the league in faceoffs and Chytil missing the entire season.
