Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XVI (Playoffs or Retool?)

[SnowblindNYR]

Borgen was never more than just a depth D-man.

Ok, then Kakko wqas never more than a depth forward. I would bank on the steady D continuing from Borgen over the PPG on heater. But it is what it is.

Amazing that we're not a perennial bottom feeder given that our owner sucks, our GM sucks, he can't make trades, he signs stupid contracts, our coaches sucks, they don't know how to develop players, our scouting sucks and we make so many bad picks, and our players suck.

Forgot to mention the fans

Potentially the most true statement of the bunch. LOL.

 

[TominNC]

It’s even more surprising considering stupid Dolan has so many ready and willing great GMs at his disposal at HFBNYR. Just pluck anyone and he’d have a SC champion dynasty in no time

I’d love to see the mess the knuckleheads here would create with real people

Our fans definitely suck. The most negative fans in the sport. People call me negative because I think Shesterkin sucks. But the amount of "this team is horrible" no matter what the result from fans shows I'm nearly the most negative person here.

This is Kakko's rookie year.

It would have been borderline abuse to keep feeding this player minutes. It's not ice time.

You guys gotta get off that idea. It's a stinker.

it's not just the minutes, is the point.

putting a player in a position to succeed is not just feeding the guy minutes. that's what i'm f***ing saying.

you're pointing to the chart saying "He sucks and he's always sucked!!" Never mind that the next year he improved defensively massively and ran a 55 xG%. the offensive results sucked, and the Rangers never figured out why or how to fix it. they just ran him out there less.

Listen, you're so f***ing annoying.

Your entire thing is keeping receipts and calling people out for being wrong. You do nothing else. We don't need it.

And Kakko having RFA years left, being younger, makes him more valuable.

Just being his own kind of fan. Like many others here

why don't you take a deep breath. i'm not sure who you think you're speaking for, but this is a piece of shit way to talk to someone. maybe you're having a bad day.

maybe take a break from being a mod?

 

[TominNC]

This won’t end well.

Don't f***ing play innocent. All you do is call people out.

 

[TominNC]

More contact here than most Rangers games

 

[mas0764]

He sucked. That's the justification.

We seem to be gravitating towards "let them suck." Again, Alexis Lafreniere.

The answer is to get them to not suck. Opportunity is not the answer. We've seen both of them at pretty much every possible spot in the lineup.

Something is wrong with the way this team plays. They wouldn't be good getting 40 minutes.

There is definitely a right way to develop kids rather than just throwing them in the Deep end. Development happens in the league despite some claiming it’s not a development league.

this is so cringy. are you upset about the Sorkin thing? because that was spot on.

 

[Machinehead]

No I'm not upset about the f***ing Sorkin thing, that's a joke.

I'm sick of f***ing "oh you thought this about x player and now it's this! Care to explain?!" Enough already. Who cares?

We're all tired of hearing about the ghosts of Kakko past. I'm tired of the other f***ing idiot doing it with Lafreniere that I won't mention.

"YOU CHANGED YOUR OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

f***ing crucify me.

We're all wrong a lot and even when we're right, it amounts to pissing on ourselves because none of us run the team.

We're here to have fun.

NO, WE NEED MOAR FUNYUNS

Guys, don't fight with each other. We must stay united. We're stronger together.





Blame Drury.

 

[mas0764]

this stupid team is gonna add at the deadline too.

 

[Machinehead]

I don't think they will.

Drury was pretty clear about how fed up he is. They haven't done nearly enough to change that.

I could see them making a "competitive" move but it won't be a rental.

They’ll add a 32 year old then to continue to try to win with a core that can’t cut it.

They need to figure out their problems with getting young players to play a quality 5v5 game.

They need a new organizational mandate.

I've mentioned this before, but having the AGM of the AGM of Sather hockey doesn't feel like the revolution I'm looking for.

I think Drury has correctly identified that there's a problem and he's said some of the right things, but I'm not convinced that he's the flamethrower that we need, nor am I convinced that his concept of the problem or his vision for the solution are the correct ones.

What hurts more than adding is all the opportunity loss not selling off Smith, Borgen, Kreider, etc. Imagine Tampa Bay sending a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Sam Carrick.
