Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XIII (Nanaki edition)

[LORDE]

Kind of feel like everyone is going to open up their NTCs if this keeps up.

Best thing that could happen to this team in a LONG time

 

[Boris Zubov]

And players are welcome to go get a real job. But Ok whatever. I guess we'll have to live with NMCs and Mika.

Why the hell are you pro-ownership? Regardless of the fact that these guys are severely underpaid when compared to the other 3 major sports; without the players there is no league.

They have a real job. Risking life-changing injury multiple times a week for your entertainment

 

[RangerBoy]

Flush the entire group except for Lafreniere, Cuylle and Schneider down the toilet.

 

[LORDE]

Time to trade Igor and tear this thing down. I’m so f***ing tired of watching a team get decimated night in night out at the most important facet of the game. I’m tired of watching a team that has no idea how to breakout, no idea how to defend a cycle, no idea how to position themselves inside the offensive zone with the puck. A team that is the worst in the league in terms of puck retrievals. Its horseshit. I’d rather watch a team like Colorado with their goaltending situation any day of the f***ing week than the bullshit the Rangers have thrown out there masquerading as a contending team for a decade.

Get rid of Igor, get rid of Kreider, get rid of Lindgren. Thats a start.

Add in waiving Trouba.

I'm on board with this completely

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I feel like this is the most detached I’ve ever felt from this team. I’m 39, I saw the dark ages, but this, it’s like now I’m finding better things to do than watch this team and maybe I’ll tune in and see how they’re doing. 10 years ago you couldn’t get me away from the tv when they were on.

 

[noncents]

Life is comfy in NY? News to me. I’ve lived here my whole life and it gets harder every year.

and how many million dollars a year do you get paid

I felt similar about the 16-17 team (or maybe it was 15-16?). They got close, they weren't particularly entertaining to watch on a nightly basis, and you just knew they couldn't change the way they played to get over the hump. There were a few players I liked, and few younger guys that you wanted to see how the progressed, but for the most part it was a pretty boring group and change was needed

The core vets get rid of coaches whenever they want. They run the team more than Drury

38 and Im right there with out. Ive tuned out more than I ever have and i feel the exact same way

I mean I don’t think they even are trying to get rid of Lavy they have just decided they don’t need to put in the necessary effort to win in the NHL these days

 

[LORDE]

I truly feel like Trouba won't be here by this time next week, by trade or waived.

If Drury tried & failed to trade him in the summer, then says he & Kreider (among others) are being shopped & He doesn't pull the trigger, what's that message say?

Maybe this is me being "optimistic"

 

[RangersFan1994]

I get it but Drury doesn't want to upset the core is pathetic. He could have waived Trouba like he did with Goodrow before a buyout. His play is hurting the team. Mika he should have been forced to take time off if he is having mental issues. These vets are hurting the team more than helping

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Every minute that passes these players are making Drury look more and more like a chump. I fully expect some earth shattering moves to happen. And soon. Hopefully he can remain level headed about some of this.

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers look disinterested. Sam and Joe are taking shots at the players. They mentioned the Rangers centers needing to generate more offense.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why the hell would I be pro-player in this situation? In this situation their incentives align a lot more with ours. I don't care about the politics of it which is what it seems like a lot of people care about when being pro-player.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

After recent events, anything we do will only fall into the "doing something just to do something" category....thanks to that damn league memo, you would be lucky to get 2 cents on a dollar for anyone....any offers we receive will be way below normal market value -- some probably downright insulting. And there's not much that can be done internally.

Change the system, it's not working.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

I’ve been defending Drury for years. He was a disappointment as a player and a disappointment as a GM so far. We have the same birthday so I’ve always wanted to love him, but he needs to sack up and make difficult move or he can start looking for a new job.

I'm starting to think Drury is not very good at his job. If his intention was to just huff and puff and expect better results, it's blowing up in his face and the players are laughing at him. He almost has to to a deal just to show he's not weak and keep whatever credibility he may have left (likely not much) but with all the NTCs/NMCs his options are limited and the players know it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Drury make some f***ing moves already. Your turkey coma should be over by now, get to work

Neither are Laviolette and Housley, they seriously can't implement a system that suits the players instead of playing a way that works against them?

It does take 2 to tango, and you have to assume no one is knocking down the door for Trouba or Lindgren. So while I have no issue with him trading out Kreider, he does need to make sure he's getting max value for him which may mean holding off for a little while even if it impacts immediate on-ice results (plus of course CK being injured)

 

[IDvsEGO]

no one was making moves the day before or on thanksgiving, and we have a b2b.
After the game tomorrow is the earliest anything is going to happen.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Habs trade Arber Xhekaj, Fabian Xhekaj, Jared Davidson, Luke Tuch to Rangers for a Kaapo Kakko, K'Miller and Lindgren



Habs get some snarl on defense and a reclamation project in Kakko.

Rangers get toughness, physical winger, skill and much needed center depth help

If you think Kakko's a reclamation project you haven't watched him this season. Also he's worth more than that package on his own. Let alone adding Miller
