Pavel Buchnevich
"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
He doesn't need to play first line minutes. Besides, Nico Hischier played those minutes as an 18 year old, and Turcotte plays the game like a better Hischier.
While I was completely joking with that post, I do genuinely feel that his grand "plan" is for complete shit.
Not a JG fan..
Exactly. I'd much rather they start at Hartford unless they really earn their way in Camp. We'll see all 3 of them some point this season, just may not be from the start.
It's going to make for an incredibly bland and boring on ice product for most of the year but I don't really care, this team probably isn't going to be very good with or with out the rooks. Let a few of the vets beef up their trade value.
Fact is you don't know jack,just as I don't.
Funny thing though is that you keep talking like things are certain.
Like when Zuccarello was getting traded last summer, then last deadline etc.
You do t know more than anyone else, but still you keep flapping your lips like your opinions are gospel. You don't know shit, you're expressing your opinion, which is fine. Just stop selling it as fact, and stop trying to bully or degrade anyone who has other opinions.
Thing is, as I see it Webster probably has way more Intel than you do on Zuccarello.

Say you disagree, that it's probably not so or whatever. [mod] Again, you do t know, he might not know, I have no idea. I do know being 6 ft whatever and 200 + lbs dosnt always make you a badass though

I don’t think we have any games on the schedule against the 1997 Flyers next season
I have to agree but if Smith don't make the cut than that leaves Beleskey.
Someone has to assume the role..
Yeah, I agree with that also but that's still weakening a spot on wing.
Not to much is going to come easy this year, that's for sure.
The Maple Laughs would debate the "most valuable franchise" title...
On the other hand, you don't see many people giving up seats (I am one of the few). If they do, the suits are ready to grab them.

Please, training camp, get here already. A few more weeks of reading this thread and I'll be in a corner babbling incoherently and drooling on myself.
The Rangers and Kevin Hayes. Why didn't the Rangers just give Hayes the long term contract this summer? The Rangers have some trepidation in giving Hayes a long term contract. They had the cap space. If Hayes has a career season in his walk year, do the Rangers trust him long-term? Hayes gets his long-term contract and the pressure to produce is over. Long term security. Hayes can just go back to being fat,lazy and going with the flow counting his money. Gorton makes the comment about having Hayes come into camp in great shape. That's always been an issue with Hayes. He was in poor shape in his 2nd season. The Rangers should trade Hayes at the deadline.
It's not an opinion, it's a bull shit statement. If you believe it, you're as big of a fool as he is.
Don't mistake calling someone out on their BS as bullying. If it weren't zuccarello related, you wouldn't have a problem with it so lets not make this something it really isn't.
I think the "most valuable" designation comes from the Forbes ranking earlier, which is always debatable.

The most recent Forbes list had the rangers as the most valuable NHL team (maybe even the past few years in a row too) with the Leafs and Canadiens at 2&3, it probably has to do with the exchange rate between Canadian and US dollars, but those 3 teams are generally interchangeable in the top 3

TML will probably overtake us at some point due to their recent success, unless of course the CDN tanks. Its been roughly the same for ~3 years now.

At the very least they’re top 2.
It would take a lot for people to stop showing up. Two or three down seasons won’t do it.

The Forbes valuations are always tricky since it's based a lot on estimation and publicly available info. They don't have access to the "real" books so they can never know for sure. It's also difficult when the ownership splits the assets into different corporations and all that. I'm not a business guy but I know it's difficult to accurately track revenues and profits and valuations when there are so many moving parts and a lot of them aren't totally publicly accessible, and use "fuzzy math." LOL. It's like when the NFL used to claim that franchises weren't all profitable and we knew that was horseshit, but didn't necessarily have the numbers available to prove it.
