Speaking of KK (who I'm 1/2 convinced is actually dead and the Rangers just prop him up for occasional appearances Weekend at Bernies style), has there been any discussion about what kind of contract he's wanting as an RFA?
 
We'll see. I'd love to keep both, but I'd rather roll the dice filling out the D with our great young prospects rather than try to replace the potential a 21 year old Kakko has.

Yeah I’m not pushing either out the door but Kakko being off his ELC is going to create some uncertainty. Schneider has also shown us more in less time.

He’s not arb eligible so his only leverage is seeking out an offer sheet. Wouldn’t be great for the long term relationship with the team if he went that route, but my hope is they settle on a 2 year/2.5-3 AAV contract like Chytil got

'Weekend at Bernies' reference RE: Kakko for the win.

I'm starting to wonder whether he's looking at Kotkaniemi and thinking 'why not me'? Offersheet and thena long-term contract like what's being rumored in Carolina (8x$4.5m).
I don't think anyone will offersheet him at $6m plus, but even $4+ hurts us in fixing the roster holes

Nothing has changed.

Vatrano was a great add but we still need another energy middle6 forward and/or more importantly, a strong 2way player
Bro - over the last 5 months you’ve desperately wanted to add about 147 different players. Top, Mid, Bottom, and defensive players. Some vets. Some youngins. Some projects. Some specialists.

You’ve made a case to fill about 3-4 full franchises with the players you want to add to this team. It’s getting a little ridiculous.

Not trying to be a dick. Just saying you should slow your roll because it’s becoming Groundhog Day here.
 
So many of you want to see a trade just for the sake of making a trade.

What In the hell is seriously wrong with y’all? Go watch the Kardashian’s if you need some shallow, pointless entertainment.

Half of you donkeys are desperate to see big moves that we ultimately can’t even realistically afford. Kane? Hertl(thank god that’s done). Scheiffele? JTM? Giroux?

I’m convinced the people hoping for these big moves are too young to remember all the shortsighted and straight up f***ing stupid moves we “forced” to try and push us over the edge when we weren’t ready.

Groundhog Day. Straight up Groundhog Day. Watching the same morons hope we replicate the same moronic moves we made in the past and hoping for different results. Because we have Igor f***ing shesterkin in net…….

A big part of me seriously hate’s most of you. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Radulov missed his calling as Nikolai Volkov’s protege “ the Russian Strangler”
Radulov has sucked ass for a very long time now. You probably think he’s still good now because you watched a few games in 2017 and 2018 when he wasn’t frolicking on the ice like diva waiting for his teammates to spring him.

The only thing Radulov strangles is his teams offensive opportunities. I’d rather see McKegg than that worthless scrub.

Friedman says Rangers are interested

Likely fits the cap dump for cheap pickup if Dallas does something else

Where does Radulov play in our lineup? He’s a top-6 or bust player. I don’t care what Friedman is saying. Statistically, most of it is garbage. He makes no sense here unless Dallas is paying us to take him and bench him.

I think we should basically still be asset adding and developing our kids.
 
Kreider Zib Laf
Panarin Strome Vatrano
Hagel Chytil Kakko
Carpenter Goodrow Gauthier

Lindholm Fox
Miller Trouba
Lindgren Schneider


This is some idealistic scenario but using players legitimately rumored to be moved soon, not some hopeful crap like Kane at 50% retention.

Hagel is honestly one of my most liked targets for this team. Scores a lot at even strength, great cap his for this year and 2 more years, good takeaway to giveaway ratio, and has been trending clearly up in his 2 years in the league.

Lundkvist + 2023 3rd for Hagel
2022 5th for Carpenter
2022 1st + Barron + Nemeth for Lindholm (might need to give more here, one of the 2022 2nds or a prospect like Korczak who has been a riser)

Re-sign Lindholm; Lindgren possibly/likely gets moved in offseason/at draft and Robertson or Jones plays 3LD next year
Blais also back next year to fill one of the bottom 6 winger roles
Hagel at a great cap hit for 2 more years after this for what he brings
