I didn't see this initially. Great exchange
Vally full troll mode. I don't see how they move Zibs. He's being re-signed.

Covid had a lot to do with that too with no proper offseason, preseason and he hadn't played in like 10 months. They tried to put him on the top line as soon as he got there, he just wasn't ready for it. For all the things a person can complain about with Quinn, his game style or pp etc, imo he used the kids right, he saw Lafreniere wasn't ready and he waited til he was, same with Kakko and i dont think anyone would disagree that Kakko looks 3 times the player now than he did when he first played a game for us, Lafreniere was night and day better at the end than the beginning. While I'm happy Gallant is here now that they've been eased in, i don't discount what Quinn did with Kakko, Lafreniere, Chytil and Lindgren because they are all more complete players than when they got here.

Laf not getting PP1 time over Blackwell is peak Quinn. Not everything is his fault but he couldn’t get out of his own way

Valiquette just get's it.
His analysis has been excellent. The rest of them just sit back and let him do his thing. Now his twitter account has been a thing of beauty. He's drawing the fanbase into it before the season even starts. Engaging beat writers and adding fuel into the rumor mills with juicy tweets on hot topics. At the end of the day, thats what fans want. Right or wrong. Eichel or not, its entertaining and relevant.
Vally is delivering!

I guess Carp means that it's going to be a 3-way trade for Eichel because there is NO WAY IN HELL that Zbad waives for Buffalo or that Buffalo would want him to then watch him bolt in a yr
Either that or he doesn't understand anything I just typed

Yep. No doubt over the next 6-9 months I fully expect to see the rangers have their top 2 centers locked up for the next 5 years or so. No matter who they pick

I was a fan of Pionk but I am super glad today that we have Trouba instead of him, at that figure.
Silly contract for pp specialist who is inferior to DeAngelo in every way

Was always a Pionk fan. He was used incorrectly here, but he did lead to the Rangers getting Trouba who’s better so I think that trade was a win/win
vastly different players but pionk is and was better at what he's advertised as than trouba.

Yeah, that trade worked out for both teams.
It is funny seeing fans of other teams who clearly never watch either of them play and just assume that Trouba sucks here because Pionk outscores him. Someone on the mainboards the other day was suggesting a Trouba trade to their team like with a sweetener for literally nothing as if he's a cap dump. He's a bit overpaid but he's good and important to the Rangers.
In 3 years we would kill to be able to deal Trouba and/or Kreider as cap dumps rather than the expected buyout that's sure to follow.

Which is 3 years away and not now. Trading Trouba with an asset right now in order to clear his salary right now would be idiotic.

Pionk is a good player for the Jets, happy he is playing well and earned a nice contract for himself.
In saying that, the deal has worked out well for both teams.

this. I’m happy for pionk and glad he’s doing well in the peg, but without Trouba, Miller likely gets sent down early or doesn’t make the team out of camp, losing valuable NHL experience, Fox doesn’t win the Norris, and rangers wouldn’t have a big mobile minute eating Rd to take important physical minutes.
Odds are if Pionk was here instead, Fox and Lindgren would have likely had to be split up just to try and handle the load.
that’s not even mentioning the leadership attributes

That Pionk deal. Christ.
fox is gonna be using the Luka Doncic Supermax extension as a comp at this point.

So important to at least get 2 nhl playing seasons on ELC deals of Schneider, Robertson, lundkvist etc. these D contracts are becoming absurd.
Lindgren looks like gold. A first pair D for under 4 mill for the next 3 seasons. I wish it was 5
