The Rangers were 3 timely goals from winning that series so “people” can kindly shut tfu.

If I remember correctly, we led in 3 out of the 4 games we lost in the SCF in 2014. That's how close we were.
They were the better team, but goddamn was it painful watching the officiating in that series.

I still can't watch the highlights of those games, they make me wanna hit my head into the wall infinitely.

We were so good, and Hank, man...
All I remember thinking was “Puhlease let us draw the Blackhawks.”
As I was 100% certain that had we drawn the dynasty we all drool over, we would have smashed them. We used to spank that team in the regular season and we just (at our best) had them.
Ugh.

Yep I also wanted the Hawks. It's like in 2015 for the Mets I really wanted the Jays. Just better match ups.
We weren’t the better team.
The better team won. It was closer than a 4-1 series and we got dicked out of a win in game 2 but they deserved to win

Columbus, I would imagine, but I see no reason to make that deal for the Rangers. IF we want him, sign him as a UFA. If he doesn't make it to UFA, oh well.

The other potential issue with Zuccarello to Columbus is Tortorella. I don't think Zucc was a favorite of his.

Lmao there is no reason to re write the past.
I do think we would have crushed the blackhawks.
New York Rangers: 4 teams that may want to add center by trade deadline
If Gorton shopped Spooner and Namestnikov before and after the draft and failed then why didn't he attempt to sign them for less so that we could get a higher trade return due to lower cap hit?

That's not entirely how cap hits work.
Cap hits are pro-rated.
Trade Deadline Q & A
So, Spooner and Namestnikov will be worth a whole heck of a lot less than $4M at the deadline. Both seasons.

yes, but if some team has bunch of injuries in the beginning of the year, the 4 mil cap hit might be too much.

Mr. Preachy
If the injuries are serious enough that you're trading for $4M players at the beginning of the year, it's likely that you're using LTIR anyway, which will cover most bases for the season and the GM will figure out the rest as they go along.

I never said untradeable, but the lower the cap the higher the return and the more teams are interested. And if they are traded this season, the other team has their full cap hit next season.

What is the obsession with trading Namestnikov? People have been beating this drum for 6 months now, it makes me curious what kind of return is being expected.

I love how he somehow managed to twist it in a way that he can blame Gorton again.

The Ranger don't have any intention of trading Namestnikov without seeing him play for an extended period first. For whatever reason, they were eyeing him for a long time and have said so.
Honestly, the season can't start fast enough - some of these summer-I'm-bored-posts are excruciating lol.
