Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XX (WTF are we going to do this Off-Season edition)

[Mike in Houston]

What time does the media get access to the locker room?

9:30.

 

[Irishguy42]

I want fireworks today. Do your f***ing job beat writers and ask the tough questions.

Get ready for limp dick questions with no follow-ups.

The beat is a joke.

 

[MrAlmost]

Steve Valiquette - Senior Director of Analytics, Development and Scouting.

Please and thank you.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Today's media day feels like electorial debates.

Everybody with eyes and ears already is well aware of what's going on, but we'll still get to see a bunch of grown men make fools out of themselves, repeating the same nonsense we've heard ad nauseum for the last year.

[Mike in Houston]

What's the process for the players? Speak to management first then media? Or vice versa?

 

[NYR Viper]

Sorry to hear this.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hate to break it to everyone but nothing earth shattering is going to come out while this is happening

Rangers PR has already gotten to these guys to tell them to keep shit quiet

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Bombshell!

Actually it was completely recognizable. It was the same as the last couple years, but with none of the luck we previously got.

Constantly outskated, lack of vision, no defense, no transition.

But no stellar goaltending or PP to bail them out.

The only difference was there was no heart at all tbis year. But still the same sloppy, slow play.

In fairness, even a passable effort level consistently would have had this team in the playoffs at the very least.

the players are too close the situation to see the reality. I know they are pro athletes and its all about results but, yeah, they weren't really that much better last year when they went to the conference finals. They play garbage hockey, as they always have.

Adam Fox’s reflection in the mirror:

 

[Machinehead]

Rempe says he wants to train this summer and Fox says the season was unacceptable. We still make fun of it.

I don't know what we're looking for here other than to just shit in our hands and toss it.

 

[Levitate]

I dunno I think the "the only difference was goaltending!" crew this year is out to lunch and is just ya'll being all mad about the season and taking swings

They were never perfect or powerhouse team exactly but they definitely played better hockey last year overall. You don't win the presidents trophy purely on luck and goaltending.

But yeah, the flaws were there and magnified this year, so it all needs to be fixed.

I want to toss it at Drury.

 

[Machinehead]

I want to toss it at Drury.

That's valid.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Damn.

 

[will1066]

I want to toss it at Drury.

If I toss it over to Fox, maybe it will jolt him out of his slumped position.

 

[Fitzy]

Damn.

I mean, if ever there was a reason to LTIR the guy for now instead of trading him, this would be it.

but I know Drury wants to just rip the band aid, which means we will probably get a pittance compared to what the return could have been.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Awwww...

 

[will1066]

Damn.

And refused to shut himself down, after probably being recommended to.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Damn.

Ah he's already getting potential teams scared with his hand surgery stuff so teams stay away. The guy is smart. You're still leaving Chris, pack your shit.
