How many times has it happened just for the NYR org?
Now that's an indictment on this org for sure but it happens... apparently to us... A LOT

What's amusing to me is that what we did to Wade Redden was about a million times more insulting and nobody gave a single shit about it.

I mean some people are either too young or have limited memory of that contract & the myriad of others we handed out
I remember exactly where I was when he was finally sent to Hartford... I mean exactly & I was on the FL Turnpike going about 90 MPH
That's how happy I was

A lot of fans were frustrated with Mika, now even more are turning on him for his comments. Mika absolutely f***ed himself with both days he did media (contract and season)

It's staple, probably means torts already signed the contract

I'm thinking after signing the extension Drury contacts carle to offer him the job AND stability with drury's new contract in place. If carle bites he's the guy. If he doesn't then it will absolutely not surprise me to see torts back or tocchet hired.

Depends how you define bad move. Like signing nemeth and getting rid of him a year later isnt a big deal. Signing goodrow and waiving him, not a big deal. We all hate that mikas here long term but at the time we got him below market value

One's stupidity should not be judged on their ability to correct it after the fact.

there is NO way a coaching hire has already been made.
If Torts comes on board now it’s going to be in a FO position.

Imagine him as the video coach. Each clip has him dubbed in yelling.
WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?!?He could’ve gauged the market on z, he could’ve structured the salary cap so that it wouldn’t kill the nyr if they decided they need to buy him out. I liked z when he signed but hated 8 years. That was the typical dru move to me. Good idea but signed way too long. Goody, troch(I was prob wrong on this one) & nemeth. All good ideas but the contracts were all 2-3 years too long.
Gorton did sign those contracts, and they were pricy those were all pre Covid and the salary cap was expecting to go up similar to how it is this summer. No one could’ve foreseen the cap being stagnant when they signed.
As for kk, if he could’ve seen that both gg & pl were not going to give him extended stays with a top 6 shot and that he was the scapegoat of both coaches. He kept saying he’s an important part of this team blah blah blah but if drury is not communicating with the coaches or players he should’ve looked to move him before the scratching and kk becoming vocal and potentially diminishing his trade value.
How was nemeth assets for assets? Drury signed him to a ufa deal and then traded away 2 2nd picks to get rid of him I guess we had emberson from the deal but lost him to waivers.
Drury has some good and some bad. I’ve been liking his drafts for the most part. He’s usually pretty good at the trade deadline. He’s awful when he’s selling off players. With prospects he won’t move them until they have no value. Overall I think drury has been average. Some good moves, some brutal moves but that is most gms. I think he could’ve been a bit more creative but
Ohh wait, Torts as communications liaison between players and management

If Torts comes on board, the amassing of meat shield 3rd pairing D will make a lot more sense.
They are literally trying to recreate the Lundqvist years. In Dolan’s fried brain it adds up.

We should do the same with Mika, and I understand the cap hit will be the same but he may wave playing in Hartford.

It's all so tiresome
Signing Goodrow to that contract was terrible, signing nemeth and having to give up multiple 2nds the next offseason is terrible, trading for Reaves was terrible, the Mika contract was bad if you had any foresight whatsoever. That’s just his first offseason, nevermind the fact he wasted so many assets trying to fill a RW void he created by trading Buch. That’s only part of his terrible decisions.

Lmao I had completely forgotten about the Reaves trade. What a beautiful mind at work

I jinx players.
Realistic discussions is - which teams are on Kreider's 15 team no trade list, because without moving him and Soucy, I don't see a way the team can make any changes, especially if those changes include keeping Zibanejad and Panarin. I guess there's a world where they keep Soucy and trade K'Andre, then bring in a UFA D, but without moving Kreider or Trocheck, I don't see the space to do it.
My guess would be: SJ, CBJ, ANA, CGY, CHI, EDM, WPG, LA, UTA, SEA, BUF, VAN, OTT, MON, TOR - if he wants to stay. That's all the Canadian teams and the teams with the most cap space.
