Must not remember Stephane Quintal or Valeri Kamensky, Mike Keane, Al Montoya in net. Or is this just circa when Rongo was created? How does that work?
Should be renamed the Pidto Files, for ultimate cringe!!
I think it was technically pre-Rongo but Ozolinsh belongs. Christ, everyone called him Bozolinsh.
The Rangers have nothing to gain by signing him now and there certainly are not going to be teams lining up to sign a goalie who is turning 30 to an 8 year 14 million dollar deal. Let the stats talk, he has regressed every year since his Vezina winning season.

Wait, my passive aggressive retorts get deleted, but this initial bitchy reply stays? Make it make sense
Just have a kid during the off-season is all I ask.

Between trying to maintain cap space for next year and Trouba turning the screws, Im not sure what else there was to be done.
The fact that they cant or wont change the defense is mindblowing though. Impossible to have any realistic Cup aspirations with the current 6 imo. I hesitate to say they are "punting" because theyll still certainly be in the mix but they cant make any significant changes to the roster until trouba and Panarin are gone. it is what it is.

Luckily he married a 90 lb waif otherwise he’d be risking some serious injury
Don’t let Drury off the hook that easily.
There’s always stuff that can be done .
LA had no problem offloading Dubois cancerous contraction YEAR 1 of an 8 year disaster

We aren’t roster building in reverse. This is a forward looking thread. For the most part. I think.

I didnt really let him off the hook I mean the defense is a disaster and has been since before the deadline when myself and others were banging the table for Hanifin (or literally any defenseman who can manage to skate or get hit without falling down).
They have more than enough forwards in the organization to field a very good team upfront. the issue has always been pigeonholing the team with guys on D who can't do the job.

I might be in the minority, but I have no issue extending Lindgren for 2-3 years as long as the cap hit isn't very much more than $3M he's making right now.
The cap is poised to explode, and a $3Mish cap hit on the 3rd pair is just fine.
He's also coming off the worst season of his career, one where he looked like he was playing injured for much of the season. There's reason to believe his play could rebound, but that needs to be taken into account in the length and AAV of his contract.
The big thing is player utilization. He needs to be on the 3rd pair. That's on the coach. Find a better partner for Fox.

There's too much uncertainty going on.
1. The Trouba drama.
- Not being able to trade him has handcuffed the organization for free agency. If they retain/buy out/keep/or take a contract back that's cap they have to account for going forward.
2. Alexis Lafreniere.
- I guess it's going to be a wait and see when it comes to signing him. That could work out or it could end up being a much bigger contract than they anticipated going into the offseason. All it takes is 1 Zibanejad injury for Lafreniere to add some more powerplay points.
3. They have a goalie wants to be paid
- This ones speaks for itself.
If they waisted the money fans would also be screaming come next season when these contracts kick in and the funds aren't there for the above reasons.
