The Brodin for Shesty thread on the trade board is high-end delusion.

for better or worse, Quinn plays who and what practices. Gauthier coming over as late as he did meant he was behind in all that stuff so that's completely unsurprising.
im sure he's fine w/ him

A guy with a bass
Because he made the team out of camp. But when it became clear he wasn't ready, the put him in the minors and left him there until he improved. And then this season, they started him there until he showed he could score there.
It's a dumb idea to go into camp with a plan of sending a guy to the minors no matter how he performs in camp.

I personally liked the Lindholm for 1st overall or Zibanejad thread; or the Cirelli for Kakko thread lol

he's young with practically no NHL experience. I think he has the least NHL experience on the roster. coaches play experience in the playoffs. this isn't new.

he plays like I'd play a create a player winger in a video game. that's fun and sometimes flashy but he doesn't seem to have innate high end hockey sense. a lot of little stuff isn't there (in my limited viewing).
I think he's a bottom 9 player unless he's the designated heavy on a very skilled top line.

This part I wholeheartedly agree with. This is exactly the master stroke that would fill our two biggest holes while also clearing room for players coming in.

Was looking at faceoff stats and while he’s no more than a 4th liner Glendening may be a good pickup if they can get move Smith to Detroit . Wings could use a stop gap vet D

I was responding to this post of @rangers1314
Where I agreed, and gave examples of other prospects who probably should not have started on the opening night roster, a subjective opinion, one I held at the time. Him making the team out of camp was a subjective decision, them sending him back down after two games was too, yet the fact remains he was on the opening night roster not after seeing him produce at the AHL level first.

Jankowski from the Flames would be great for a bottom 6 role.Big body center,good on the walls,can kill penalties and is cheap

I'm really interested to see how free agency plays out this season. Those bottom 6 vets are going to get squeezed. There won't be any chasing money. That basically leaves location and cup chances as separating factors when the money isn't available.
I'm very content to be patient and let these young guys figure it out before I do anything drastic. But sprinkling a bargain PKer and some sand paper would be a great opportunity.

idk about anyone else but I'm pretty adamant that Gettinger, barring a terrible camp, should be on the Rangers full time next year. Seems like the perfect bottom 6 type for me and he's got some skill.
After listening to JD and Gorton I get the feeling they are going to entertain moving DeAngelo for a LD
Can find a ufa 3rd pair RD for a year then add in Lundqvist when his seasons done
I still like Lindholm w the Ducks as a target and I bet they make moves

Agreed.
I'm not sure why he wasn't given any consideration to replace BM for games 1 & 2
Edmonton seems like the most viable place to get a LHD. They got bounced early and have Klefbom, Nurse, and Jones down the left side with Broberg on the way. They basically have the same "problem" we do but on the opposite side of the ice.
Their needs seem to align well with ours as well. They need depth scoring and a goalie to challenge Koskinen.
