At the end of the 2019-2020 season, probably our most marketable asset after Kakko. Once the FO said he'd never play another game for us? Waiver fodder.

I thought I read that they had tried to trade him before the season and couldn't find any deals that were worthwhile. Other teams were leery of assuming that "risk" with Tony. I don't remember where it was stated but I'm sure others can back me up or shoot me down, here.

I’d be perfectly content to never hear another f***ing word about Tony DeAngelo again for the rest of my life.
Edit: okay apparently I still think I’m a mod. Nonetheless.

Hate to be that guy but 75% of the Tony DeAngelo posts are from people trashing him and not from people "defending" him

I really hope strome and Georgiev are traded soon TBH. I’m guessing we still have interest in Larkin, but that’s a mountain to high to climb at this point. I also think we have interest in Eichel if Drury can get him for his price.
But beyond that, lindholm in Calgary ain’t available, looks like drury isn’t interested in Dvorak, so I really don’t know where we go from here.
I’m very excited for this season like everyone else, but I wished we fixed 2c
Lol I don't even think its close to worst case for those teams. I can easily and realistically make the case that every team that made the playoffs from our division last year will be worse next year. Especially Washington, who are the team I'd pick to fall out of the playoff picture if I had to pick one (from the Metro at least, I think as far as Eastern teams go Boston is the one who I'd expect the biggest drop off from if we're not counting the Habs, who only got in because they played in the North.)
I think our division is honestly pretty meh. We have one arguably "elite" team in Carolina but I'd hesitate to give them that title. They're the only team I'm confident in saying will finish ahead of the Rangers. I'd throw Pittsburgh in there too, but they've got a massive Jarry problem.
The Central is a better division than ours.
that doesn’t mean that it will happen (it almost certainly won’t) but I think it’s silly to assume that the “good” teams from last year will be good next year too.
their draw backs may be different than ours, but they exist and in some cases, are probably going to be tougher to overcome.
If Drury made his off season moves today, as opposed to when they were made, I think they would have fallen in a bit of a different light.
Every year there is a boatload of high flying speculations, of course, but reality is that there is so little mobility in this league.
All GMs more or less closed shop three weeks ago. We saw some action, more than usual. The Seth Jones trade is big. The OEL trade was far from a given. But soooo many teams did very very few moves. My point is just, if Drury wanted to get things done — he probably had a lot fewer options than we imagined…

From my POV:
The Buch trade is pending evaluation of Sammy Blais. It can end up anywhere on the scale so to speak.
The UFA signings got buy-out friendly contracts. Goodrow plays two years here before going Matt Belesky on us, if sucks but it’s not like org. crippling.
The by far — worst — move could definitely be Chytil’s contract.

This is delusional BS. DeAngelo was bad apple before he even got here. He had a lot of chances and still couldn't control himself from infecting the orchard. Do you think the rest of the NHL is stupid? Do you think they'd fork over assets without the Rangers stating the obvious? He is addition by subtraction.

Lol I actually saw something with this chick recently, she's still milking this.... kinda like some people holding onto past playersIf someone could embody HFNYR collectively as some person, it would be
Good for Savvy, loved that guy. One of the best playmakers all time to hit the ice in my opinion. Conkys really ruined this one.

@Girlsinyogapants or you're doing it wrong
....shut up I started my twitter in college
Didn't take long for Pierre McGuire to go full Baghdad Bob in Ottawa. I'm proud of Pierre for not listing off every food allergy of Nick Holden's kids, but gushing about MDZ....for some perspective, the last playoff game Michael Del Zotto played was for the Rangers in 2013 (and over 6 teams since). The highlights of your entire offseason was NICK HOLDEN and MICHAEL DEL ZOTTO, let that sink in for a moment.

The trade has nothing to do with Blais and everything to do with Kakko and Kravtsov.

Exactly. This fact that is so conveniently ignored by hockey writers makes me want to slam my head on the wall.
I can understand being underwhelmed with the return for Buch and calling it a bad trade, but the people who are blowing it our of proportion are crazy. We're not replacing Buchnevich with Blais. Blais is an add to play down the lineup and fortify the depth while they expect Lafreniere, Kakko and Kravtsov to improve and be able to fill Buchnevich's role.
Um, if your argument is based solely on faceoffs, then you're off to a bad start. Many centers need to improve on faceoffs when they are young. How about Chytil for instance? He will improve on faceoffs as he gets older.
And sure, you can say Hughes hasn't lit it up yet, but neither has Kakko. Well, offensively, Hughes has been better than Kakko at least. And we are judging them both on potential. Right? It's not just what they are doing now. Otherwise Kakko and Laf aren't exactly doing better than Hughes.
So I can just as easily say "Kakko scored 23 points in 66 games and 17 points in 48 games. THIS is the winger you want instead of Hughes?"
Or how about, "Laf scored 21 points in 56 games and this is the winger you want instead of Hughes?"
It goes both ways. And yea. I am saying, hypothetically, it would have been nice to get a center like Hughes since we all ready had Kravtsov and then got Laf. It's an imaginary scenario anyway, so it really doesn't ultimately matter. I don't think that takes away from anything Kakko has done or shown. But it's not like he's exploded out of the gate proving to be the best player in that draft class, or even close right now. They both still have a long way to go and Hughes can improve in faceoffs just as much as Kakko, or Hughes for that matter can improve in point production.
Most people here are smarter than that, too. It's obvious why the trade was made.
