It took a month and a half. Nothing rushed about it. Complete win for the Rangers. Too bad he's coming to play for a shitbag team with no heart.
This trade was made for the future in mind. Drury, I'm sure was hoping maybe JTM could help them make a playoff push for this year, but that would've been a bonus, not the long term goal of the deal.
 
The team should look very different after the break. Kreider, Smith, Vesey, Lindgren all can go. Call up Othmann, Berard, Brannstrom. See if that sparks them in the 8 games before the deadline. Nothing has changed in regards to team needs. Mika and Panarin are summer decisions.

Panarin is even worse in this regard.
Panarin actually wins a lot of puck battles. His level of compete for loose pucks is impressive considering his size. But you’re right in regards to him playing pond hockey. He’s arguably the best pond hockey player in the league.

At least some of his pond hockey creates offense. Mika does nothing other than lose battles and turnover the puck.
 
Crazy how Mika loses every single puck battle. Anytime there’s a 50/50 scrum along the boards, you already know the other team will get the puck. Send him to Chicago so he can play pond hockey with Bedard.

tell it like it is

Again no on bum's rush to CK

Mika should go as soon as we can arrange it, and if we sent him
double retained + [prospects] to NYI [close enuf should not be an issue]
and
they send Dobson to ANA
we can settle for Zegras + Helleson

bread depends on if he realizes he is not getting a good reup contract, and given that, will he waive early
