I believe @Edge stated many times that they tried very hard to trade both DeAngelo and Strome but both of them were not as highly regarded around the league as they were on here.

very accurate.
if lias Andersson was who we all hoped he’d be we’d have a gritty two way center in the middle that plays with a chip on his shoulder might be wearing a letter defends well and scores the dirty goals around the middle of the ice. It’s literally exactly what we need in the middle behind Mika
instead we got a headcase who couldn’t skate or play at this level whatsoever

Am I the only one that thinks that the other option in that same draft can become that in Chytil? 21 years young, already shows immense potential and with the right continued development, can easily fit in as an offensive driving 2C.

One thing regarding the 2C for this team, with Drury in charge now and Gallant as the HC, maybe someone like Barron will be tried at center. With Drury at the helm in Hartford, he did get some time there. I think they know what he brings to the table as a winger. Hopefully they will let him roll in camp at center and maybe even get into a game where he is centering Kakko or Lafreniere to see how well they play together.
If Barron is a part of the future of the team, giving him a chance with those two is paramount to determining if he is a center or a winger. His style of play would add something different down the middle.
Barron is the type of player that we did think Lias Andersson would be like. He isn't the best skater, but he'll hit, work hard, and chip in goals in front, and play a 200ft game. Translating that to center over being a winger for this team would be huge.3
One thing with the lines being more static over the past two seasons is that we have not gotten to see if our young options down the middle can play up. Chytil needs preseason time with Panarin. We know what he and Strome can do, let's find out if Chytil, now not a rookie or inexperienced, can roll with a player like Panarin and increase this teams overall depth.

i’d pass on both. Again, i think both those players are looking for a Cup and on borrowed time. I don’t see either a fit for the Rangers.

I see alot of 'teamates fight all the time!'. Sure punches back and forth (which Geo threw). But how often does one of them choke the other, which is what TDA supposedly did after Geo threw a punch at him? I doubt he would have let up until Geo passed out until teammates intervened. Just a friendly choking, sure, nothing to see here.

I think however he could win a cup now will be anticlimactic to that. It’s not a reason to stay in, IMO.
Are there any UFAs worth taking a shot on?
we have the money, might as well utilize it.

if he’s continuing for simply the love for the game i’d say he’ll have a job shortly.

Dominik Kahun is still available. Other than that, I don't see any appealing free agents.

I wasn't being cryptic lol. And I've mentioned how I was a high major DIRECTOR OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS (DOBO) many times. It's why I have a great insight into how teams actually function both operationally and in the locker room.

I was wondering where your great insight originated from.
Gorton said he didn't like the contract stuff and dealing with lawyers. He could have hired his own Ryan Martin to handle the CBA stuff. He could hired a player agent to deal with those issues. He said Tony is a good guy. Tony has burned every bridge. It ended badly in every stop for him. Phoenix might be only stop which didn't have controversy. That we know of. Gorton was his own worst enemy. He is roaming the halls of the Rangers offices asking if anyone wants to talk hockey. He decided to be the Rangers cap guy and he acquired Tony. That's on him.

If he burned so many bridges then why did Carolina sign him? Jesper Fast and Brady Skjei were already on the team and knew him. You'd think if Carolina was interested in a controversial player they would do their diligence and talk to players on the team that already know him. Then why did Brendan Smith sign already knowing he was there? Doesn't seem like too many players had issues with him. Besides, from what we've been told Georgiev is the one in the locker room that doesn't seem to get along with more people.
Appreciate it bro. This board is an awesome assemblage of passionate fans and unique perspectives. As for me, it was a long road to get to that position. As Seinfeld would say, they tend to give those jobs to ex-ballplayers.
