Doesn't mean anything. Every year there are non-arbitration eligible RFAs that don't sign until just before camp or a few days into camp.

I mean, in all likelihood you're correct but it isn't unheard of that they can't come to an agreement and they trade him.

Clearly not the case. "Oscillating" infers that his wind does not always blow from the same direction.

He just can't handle that Zucc benched more than Kreider.

In his mind Zucc is weak little old man who's almost going to die from exhaustion if he plays another game, when the reality is he's never been in better shape. Eight years of training at this level shows. He's always full of energy on the ice, and this won't change.

Except this NEVER happened anywhere except in your fantasy land.

Forget Kreider, Zucc wasn’t outbenching Miller or McDonagh (who was pressing 300+ as a sophomore at Wisconsin) either.

Unless you can provide a source stating that some outlandish thing didn't happen (because people always write stories about things not happening, duh), then of course we must conclude that it did happen. Like when Kreider once ate Zuccarello in one bite and then crapped him out the next morning. Find me a f***ing source that says it didn't happen. Can't do it? That's because it did, asshole.

Here's some entertainment for you, while we wait for something to happen.

So when are we going to see Kreider toss a guy over the boards? :D

That's called momentum.

But since you asked. He didn't go flying into the boards because the hit was aimed in a different direction but the situations are quite similar.

Like, honestly, what's your end game here? Are you trying to convince people that Zuccarello is legitimately stronger than Kreider?

I don't know that anyone disputes that Zucarello is a heart-and-soul player who is always willing to battle, plays bigger that he is, and is generally very engaged physically particularly for someone his size. I think almost every Rangers fan would agree with this assessment. It's why he's so beloved.

But, if you want to suggest that he's stronger or more physically dominant than some of our biggest, strongest players, I don't know. Why? Would would you try to do that?

It isn’t two people reporting it. It’s one person reporting about another person reporting about an interview. You don’t even provide a link to the middle man, much less the alleged source. Now I’m supposed to google “Maloney 2017 pre season interview”? How many of those are there? You made a claim. I haven’t seen it written anywhere that Shattenkirk showed up out of shape. Furthermore, it does nothing to the point- that he played injured for the entire season.

It's Maloney being a dick. There's no proof that these guys were really "out of shape". They may not have been in as good of shape as other players, and there's always going to be guys at the bottom end of testing and guys at the top end, but saying they were in "bad shape" is inferring information that we actualyl do not have.

I just mentioned once that Zucc won the bench press during team physical tests, since then a certain poster has been whining about it...

You're the only one who is convinced about that actually happening. Was it ever reported anywhere? Because if you can't back it up, it's just a bunch of hoopla and wishful thinking

I put Andersson with Zibanejad because they worked really well in the WC.

Trade a few picks/prospects for a 1D, sort of like the opposite of what we did with trading McD, and we are ready to contend.

I have to disagree here.

Maloney has always been a stand up guy and calls it the way he sees it.
He’s been apart of this organization forever and even wore the C for this team.

He works on the inside and witnesses things first hand so I see absolutely no valid reason for him to report fake news.

What does he have to gain by lying?

Nothing..
