My RBT narrative going forward is that this team will continue to suck until we see meritocracy and multiple trades on defense.
Unfortunately, don't hold your breath waiting for meritocracy to win out with the Rangers. As for the trades on defence, it takes 2 to tango.My RBT narrative going forward is that this team will continue to suck until we see meritocracy and multiple trades on defense.
Guess again
Your arbitrary benchmark of 10 in a given single deal attempts to define that size of (quantity) of assets in trade automatically = unrealistic
I see you cherry picked my answer to try to represent it out of context.Arbitrary benchmark? 10 is the deal that YOU PROPOSED.
You can't find a single trade in the last 20 years, or probably longer, that's similar to yours.
It's bullshit. It's fantasy. It's a complete waste of time.
And yet for the 3rd year in a row, they continue to give him split duties. If he is the future he should be getting 2/3 of the games by now. I understand there are a lot of back to back games but he can still be playing every mid week game and one of the two weekend games. The guy needs to be playing more.I said if the Martians kidnapped Igor, w/reinforcement from Quick + Domingue, upside to Garand is he can be eased into starter.

Rangers Goaltending Prospect Garand Has High Upside
On Nov. 6, the Hartford Wolf Pack beat the Syracuse Crunch in the type of game they’ve been able to win all season – a close one-goal contest that went to overtime before the Wolf Pack found the back of the net with just seconds left to secure a 2-1 victory.www.yardbarker.com
Drury sucks
You have to wonder if this continues to spiral downwards and they show disinterest and a lack of leadership if Drury would consider making a move behind the bench and bringing in Messier to get them fired up.
The crippling Zib extension & the pending Igor extension don't predate him. This team is going to be a fake contender for the next 5 years because of those 2 deals alone.Does he? Idk how people are blaming him when its very obviously the players that predate him being the problem.

Kreider not leaving anytime soonSlept on that game and my takeaway is that we're spinning our wheels until the much needed Trouba and Kreider trades this summer. Thats 14+ mil in cap space for guys who have been useless at even strength for years.
I know people love Kreider, and I do too for his contributions, but all good things must come to an end.
deal Lindy NOWMake Lindgren the 8th dman. Play Mancini from now on. He can actually skate
Honestly if I was trading Igor, I’d be doing it to a team that can send a better prospect than Garand back.not sure I understand you
agree he like most can use more work
that's not the pt
If Shesty is dealt Garand starts all games vs easier competition
splits games w/Quick for tougher competition
Domingue fills in gaps
adjust accordingly based on injury, hot hand, etc
Garand gets enuf mins in that scenario

I hated that deal before the ink was dry, solely on the way it was structured with the NMCs & the signing bonuses. It's one thing to commit to a player, but why hamstring the team completely by making the contract both immovable & buyout proof?Yeah the Mika one didnt look this bad at the time but it's aged horribly. Drury shouldve stuffed out that Mika was apathetic and a soft player. Fireable offense? Honestly, maybe.
Messier has a better chance firing up Subban than the actual team.You have to wonder if this continues to spiral downwards and they show disinterest and a lack of leadership if Drury would consider making a move behind the bench and bringing in Messier to get them fired up.

I do remember you not liking it. I think there was an element of "this guy has been great for us" and the factthat it was a discount on the AAV he wouldve got on the open market. But the failed Eichel pursuit is a real inflection point in recent Rangers history and Drury's tenure.
There's an alternate reality where the Rangers acquire Eichel for Buch/Kakko+, let Mika walk for Trocheck and are set up much better long term. I guess we can thank those Blueshirts Breakaway morons for the billboard. 2 know it all's who have never been right about anything.
That was the turning point I agree 100%. Would have changed the complexion of the team for the better. Not just because of Eichel replacing Zibanejad but the contract situation would have been much easier to stomach. Instead the rangers are stuck with a declining Zibanejad for another 5 years after this season. Tough.I do remember you not liking it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You have to wonder if this continues to spiral downwards and they show disinterest and a lack of leadership if Drury would consider making a move behind the bench and bringing in Messier to get them fired up.
I don't think Buffalo was sending him here regardless of the billboard.
Their grudge was with Eichel, not a couple of podcasters.
seems like everyone agrees the worst players are mika, Lindgren, trouba and Drury resigned two of those guys at their peak value and declined the buyout on Trouba this off-seasonDoes he? Idk how people are blaming him when its very obviously the players that predate him being the problem.
