Oh oh! I would like to go after McDavid, Kucherov, Dahlin and Heiskanen then. Since it doesn't matter if the team wants to trade them or not
Learn to read. I never said that. I don’t want soft players on the team. Watched enough of that since 1975! Watched a lot of Ranger hockey. Paryko is the type of D that I’d break the bank for. Or a young Chara.
I know they are not available.
I would not give 11m per year to Karlsson.
He’s skilled but soft. No thanks.
Draft our own players and develope them.
Maybe Seider can develope into that type of player. Big strong RD.

Aaron Portzline, a Columbus Blue Jackets reporter, for The Athletic just reported that Winnipeg Jets forward Jack Roslovic fired his agent Ken Robinson. The player had requested a trade several times last year. Lack of playing time. Wasn't happy in his role.

His new agent is Claude Lemieux. Claude is the father of Rangers wing Brendan who also came from Winnipeg last year. Jim Gorton has a relationship with Kevin Cheveldayoff from their deadline trade last year. Kevin Hayes. Brendan Lemieux. 1st round pick.

How did Kevin Hayes work out for Winnipeg? Good luck in Philly. Hope he likes cheesesteaks.

Would Gorton try to swindle Cheveldayoff a second time in a year? Cheveldayoff is notoriously difficult to trade with. Stingy. Conservative. Risk-averse. He does not give in to his employees demands.

How long has Jacob Troubda wanted out? Cheveldayoff has kept him there against his wishes for years. Troubda is going to be a Group 3 UFA at the end of this year if he doesn't sign long term. He may finally get his wish. They will need someone to replace him on the top pairing.

Neal Pionk played on the top pairing much of the year under David Quinn, a developmental coach.

Pionk for Roslovic. 1 for 1.

Its been too long since you've done one of these.

The cheesesteaks line was a nice touch, but I had no idea RB was Sean Avery.

Didn’t take a cheapshot at Portzline. 2/10.

Ya...that isnt happening.
 
Huh?

Leetch was homegrown so are Kreider. Staal and Zucc.

The UFAs are different. I’ve heard numerous posters at this play express qualms about dealing Shatty, but never in regards to a homegrown player. Many still think it’s good to keep Smith around.

I think it’s quite common to yearn for players on other teams that seem to do well and have no flaws, then that positive feeling about that player spills over to when we sign them as UFAs with all the attention that gets etc.

I think Gorts would face a lot of criticism if he dealt Shatty, maybe not from the posters at this place but the average fan.
Massive misrepresentations of what people said but no shock given your strange emotional link to the topic.

No, people said UFAs aren't dealt away 1 year into a multi year deal. Maybe some talked about turning off future signings with such a trade. But no one made it about some strange loyalty to free agents. And the big talk this off seasons has been trading those UFAs, so I don't really see how your claim has any basis.

You are just hurt that you got no traction last year on your Shattenkirk campaign last summer.

Where does Kevin Bacon come in? Feels like the 6 degrees of kevin bacon lol.

I think Andersson and Roslovic are closer to value than Pionk and Roslovic. Most of this board has written off Pionk as a long term option. Roslovic is still thought of as a solid future middle C by Jets fans.

I personally don't think Pionk is half of what would be needed to acquire Roslovic. If Gorton makes that happen, I’ll be dancing.

Josh Brolin played Thanos in Avengers Infinity War and Endgame...
The Infinity Gauntlet holds SIX infinity stones...
just like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Just like the original six.
Confirmed Rangers win the Stanley cup.
 
Hehe, thing is, I think we are getting a little crowded at RW if we get Kakko. Same with Lazar. I need to find the small and speedy center version of these guys.

But if we get Hughes, I am game!! ;)
I don't think anything should stop the Rangers in their relentless pursuit of Curtis Lazar.
