mangiapane would be a good top 9 add if Calgary is selling

He’s a nice player but I don’t think he’s a great fit for the rangers.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Goodie is gone. We have some cap space now. Time to move trouba and ir lindgren

 

[MrAlmost]

A fourth line of Edstrom-Rempe-Vesey? I like that. And cheap.

If they have good seasons I'd really like to see the Rangers finally sign our bottom guys to reasonable long term contract. If they perform, maybe Ed and Rempe go 6 years at 1.5? 1.25?

Man that would be nice to finally have good, cheap and young 4th line depth. One can only dream.

 

[zlev]

i want Lomberg for the 4th line. Lomberg-Edstrom-Vesey

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Berard-Rempe-Vesey will be the 4th line to start the season

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Shocked he was claimed. Guess since they have the space and a young team wants that vet leadership. He's definitely a good locker room guy

He also started his career there

 

[B17 Apricots]

If you think physicality from the defense is what this team is missing then I think you are sorely mistaken.

The problem is, I’m not gonna be shocked if this is what Drury is thinking as well.

We are lacking mobility and puck movement on defense.

Yeah I haven't really understood this sentiment. K'Andre isn't overly physical but he uses his size. Fox isn't physical but he's outstanding defensively, he was playing on one leg. Lindgren has toned it down recently, probably due to injuries. But you have him, Tuba and Schneider. How much more physical are you going to get? This team has been middle of the pack or worse at 5v5 for years. They had trouble 5v5 in the playoffs. The Panthers dominated them in that regard. How does getting more physical defenders help us score 5v5? We had physical defenders and it didn't stop Florida from walking all over us

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I still think it’s a bit premature to pencil Rempe in for a 4th line role.

He’s got quite a bit of work to do in order to become a nhl regular.

Do think this opens the door for Edstrom.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

If trouba goes like we all expect what is the endgame scenario for what we do with all the cap room ?

Sign Laf to an 8 year extension asap. Don't wait until the next season when he puts up 80+ points.

Also sign a couple good defensmen. Roy should be one of them.

 

[Shadowtron]

Jake Guentzel is an overrated player and exactly the kind of player that the Rangers always overpay to underperform here. Please don’t pay the guy for numbers inflated by a HOFer.

Fix. The. Defense. And. The. Offense. Will. Follow.

What’s your ideal get this off-season as far as the Defense is concerned?

I think you have it backwards.

They could have had both Rempe or Edstrom up last year and Rempe had the run and Edstrom had the cup of coffee. They're gonna run him as a regular.

 

[Daves a mess]

Dubois to the Caps

 

[Gordon Bombay]

It brings me so much joy to see the Devils trading first round picks for goalies because they still haven’t been able to replace Uncle Daddy

 

[effen]

Dubois to the Caps

Holy shit LMAO

 

[rangers1314]

Dubois to the Caps

PLD for Kuemper. Straight up. No $ retention.

Man Rob Blake, what a job

 

[Ranger Wolf]

Just can’t put him on Bread’s line cause they would neutralize each other.

 

[Circus86]

Dubois to the Caps

Kings making room for Trouba as a replacement for Roy who will sign with us

 

[LOFIN]

The other 30 GM's said "f*** it, offseason begins now baby"

And I'm here for it

Vilardi hasn't had a full season since he was 16. Iafallo is a random 3rd liner. Kupari is waiver fodder.

You always, always, always make that trade.

And kudos to Blake for moving on. Sometimes it doesn't work out.

 

[rangers1314]

Someone help me figure this out from the caps POV

I’m not talking about the trade so much as I am the PDL extension.

Helps Ovie chase the record?

Paying for potential with 8 year deals is always brilliant on a message board, not always IRL.

If you're the Caps you suck anyway and you're never signing a big FA. Distressed asset for an up and down goalie and you're only taking 3M/yr extra. I like it for both teams.

 

[Daves a mess]

Hope for the Caps sake that he and Ovi aren't on the same line together.

Neither one will be able to find their own goalie without binoculars.
