Speculation: Roster Building thread: Part XIX (Thanks, Sam)

[RangerBoy]

This will help Panarin’s trade value

Panarin didn't commit a crime.

You're one of the last people that should be commenting to me about lack of details. I wasn't aware of this situation and I admit that, but you and several other people act like you actually know what's going on with this team and it's been proven repeatedly that there are some people on this board that do and have connections but the loudest voices on here don't know a goddamn thing

Ok pal - continue to say how disgusting his behavior is if it makes you feel better but you dont know anything about it.

Conveniently the deadline to renew season tickets was yesterday. Re-upped after this horrendous season. Just a drop in the bucket for MSG, but it's the principle.

It's 100% time to move on from this core roster. Bite the bullet on this pick and just reset the team. The next 10 months is about moving anything and everything outside of Igor or Fox from the over 27 crowd.

That includes Miller and Trocheck. Don't care they just got Miller either, but he is likely here to stay, probably Trocheck too.

This has been the most immature group of players this team has had in decades. Lack of give a f*** has never been higher for me personally. Don't care where these guys go, just needs to be one of the other 31 teams.

I've already committed to this team being trash next season, so anything that isn't promoting from within and removing aging pieces does nothing for me and that is the kind of coach I want. Do not repeat the 2016-17 season, get ahead of it.

I still just wanna know which NHL player made it to even their rookie year while being afraid of flying and not already having that documented from day 1 and a team approved prescription of their own. Like I said, I think someone who was “afraid of flying” actually just wanted to throw a back a couple crispy boys and get an extra buzz.

 

[Guyute]

The Rangers leaked it to get Panarin to waive his clause.

I highly, highly, highly doubt the Rangers would leak it the morning of Sam's last game and less than 24 hours after Panarin won the "Goog Guy" award

Edit:
Not to mention the fact that this story tanks his trade value

 

[lakeshirts37]

Chris Dreary

you keep pushing this name and its not sticking. give it up

 

[Homelander]

you keep pushing this name and its not sticking. give it up

Neither was your....

Nah, it's too mean

 

[Shesterkybomb]

That award is hiven by media, not the org.

The team gave him the mvp though right?

If they’re actually afraid of flying my guess is Kakko. If they just wanted an excuse to get a buzz, Lafreniere.

@Gluten Free Breadman

… Consent Free Breadman, apparently.

Don’t use that.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I've been on the Gavrikov train as well

I think every team in the league would want to add that type of player

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

lol at Xandy Koufax.

Anyway, Artemi Panarin should have been booted out of town after the NJD series. He's really, really lucky that the Rangers won the Carolina series the year before (where he was just as bad as he was against the Devils) because there would have been way more noise around his inability to play when it matters (and there should have been more anyway. The leash that he's gotten from the organization and the fanbase is laughable considering how other guys have been treated by both.)

Him being a total douche nozzle really only makes things worse. Easily one of my top 3 least favorite players ever and he might be #1 right now because at least the other guys weren't total pieces of shit (or pieces of shit for less terrible reasons.)

Dumb ass signing that has turned out so much worse than I thought it would and I didn't have high hopes for it to begin with. Who ever is assessing the character of these "high character" Russians needs to be kicked in the face. Kravtsov was a f*** stick and Panarin is an even bigger f*** stick. Never would have thought Buchnevich would have been the best of the bunch in that area since his only real off ice issues are that he hates working out and he can't drive.

I'm mostly annoyed because I know that this would have been handled properly had Panarin been having a bad year or if this were a different player on the roster. You can look at it and say "it's not worse than what happened in Chicago or Penn State" but it's straight out of the same playbook. I don't really have much confidence in it being handled any differently had it actually ended up going worse than it did.

Really should encourage him to take a leave of absence from the team next year if they don't move him entirely. Don't care about the on ice results or impact at all at this point, this isn't a guy who deserves to wear this uniform.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Drury should wear the fact that this was covered up as well as the fact that there was no suspension for the player with regards to this from the team. 0 accountability with the vets again, tell me that if this was Zac Jones they'd have treated this case the same way

 

[will1066]

You won't have this problem with JT Miller. Because JT Miller is miserable, hates people, and doesn't intermingle with players no less team employees.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'd personally like to see Mr. Svechnikov in a Blueshirt.

On what basis would he even be available?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

No idea who this story would come from but it’s certainly not the Rangers brass giving this info to Katie. This story makes the organization look reallyyyyy bad

I could see someone lower in the organization giving this info out as an FU to how the team treated the situation.

Its not AT ALL the same as Chicago and Penn State. Are you kidding me?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Panarin didn't commit a crime.

He stole someone's phone and then assaulted them when they tried to retrieve it.

 

[Machinehead]

We should hire Jim Cornette.

"I'm not socially awkward, Brian, I just don't f***in like people."

 

[Shesterkybomb]

The way the organization dealt with it is similar, parted ways with the victim and kept the aggressor, covered it up in the process. Only thing missing is the reference letter

 

[will1066]

"I'm not socially awkward, Brian, I just don't f***in like people."

He's bombastic, but damn, he's right most of the time with his ramblings.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If they’re actually afraid of flying my guess is Kakko. If they just wanted an excuse to get a buzz, Lafreniere.

If the team was heading to a carnivore restaurant after landing, Mika.

Had to do it.

Sounds like my kind of person honestly

Sometimes anxieties develop, sometimes it's manageable and all but still stressful, and players might not want to go on meds because it's seen as being a wuss or tons of other reasons.

I don't think anti anxiety meds exactly get you all buzzed either.

 

[Fitzy]

Hire a team of misanthropes, sure why the hell not.
