Of course, but all players have different roles. The role Nic Roy fills for you can be filled by a league minimum player and it won’t kill you.
Tampa could replace Coleman and Goodrow with league minimum players. But they could never even remotely replace Cirelli with a cheap vet.
Yeah, but here there is a big difference in my book between paying a line driver centering the 3rd line like Gourde and the big bodied winger next to him.
But you are right on the leadership part. It can’t be measured and I am not really destroying the Goodrow signing either. It’s one of those things that you don’t appreciate when you have it, but kills you if you don’t.
They won’t be huge. Think of your ideal Miller and Lafreniere bridge/short contracts with Copp at 5-5.5m on the books as well. There is no way that fits while keeping more than 1/3 of Chytil, Kakko, Lindgren.
We can’t sign Copp without big problems starting in 23-24.

I'd bring Braun back. I thought he was fine.
At the very least, Torts pressers with the Philly media should be lit.

What’s the obsession with Patrick Kane?
How can you watch this team and say “That’s exactly what we should spend all our resources on“

I know it’s been a little bit, but have you forgotten all those horrible/pointless penalties he took? Second to only Strome on penalties accomplishing nothing.

It would give us a legit cup run next year and wouldn’t destroy future cap. Plus him and Panarin have a history of playing off each other really well, so yea I can see it.
The best thing about Torts getting hired again is we get to watch another acrimonious firing in a season or two.

Laf will just be a better version of what Vatrano was on the first line
Chytil can be the 2C and do all the things on offense that Strome was able to do and let Panarin do his thing with that basically being a glass cannon line. Panarin moves around anyway.
Having a 3rd and 4th line that can each play 12+ mins per night and do so with good defense would be huge. Bringing in Stastny and retaining Motte. Someone who can play 2 ways and also shift to Center would be ideal there.
Kreider Zib Laf
Panarin Chytil Kakko
______ Stastny Kravstov
Motte Goodrow Blais

You mean a team capable of making the conference finals level cup run...
Also it would absolutely destroy the current cap, because we'd be forced to squeeze on a 2c. Yeah theres no downstream issues after this year, but we'd be forced to give up assets that would then kill any depth we have.
Chicago isn't trading Kane for pennies.

I just gave you a scenario. Lundqvist Robertson and a pick. We would still have Jones othmann cuylle in the pipeline for depth
TheGortonConspiracy
Wow its a nice GM
It would be Riyadahl on the 4th and one of those move up to the 3rd

Well, this team needs more speed and puck skill. The idea that we have enough, i’m not sure i buy
I DO NOT think he’s the answer to that though

How about something like Radek Faksa to Rangers for Nemeth and Lundkvist? Faksa is good at the draw with 55.1% provides grit and checking ability 3.25 cap hit until 24-25 season. Faksa would have to approve a trade here.
Rangers get Radek Faksa
Stars get Nemeth and Nils Lundkvist.
Rangers get someone who is good on the faceoffs and has agitator skills. He can draw penalties but he is an emotional player.
Mika
Chytil
Faksa/Goodrow
not bad center depth
and hope they can resign Copp.

It's all so tiresome
Yeah basically, although I won't deny adding Patrick Kane would be kind of intriguing. I could kind of imagine him playing with Kreider and Zibanejad and that line being tough to stop offensively. He's still one of the best passers in the league and the Rangers need help in that area in every zone.

I'm pretty sure he would play with Panarin and Anisimov.

haha, what a train wreck that organization has become ... i couldn't be happier!!
Tortorella in Philthy is the ultimate Irony... Tortorella is useless, but will provide so much great interviews of sick and fed up he is with the "level of play"... its going to be great!

We can play an east/west game. We have that in spades.... we actually have too much of it IMO
We need to be capable of playing a simple north-south heavy forechking game.
We have Panarin. He just needs to be better.
I think we need more speed on defense. We're slow and we can't get the puck out.
It'd be nice to have another puck mover... maybe even with size... a goal scorer? a weird last name?
I'd prefer the cost of Chychrun @ 50% over Kane. I like Kane. I just do not think he's strengthening our weaknesses.

I have to admit, I don’t hate it. We lost this year because Tampa’s big guns outplayed ours. Kane and Panarin wouldn’t be denied I don’t think.
It also kicks the Chytil-Laf-Kakko breakout can down the road a bit and potentially suppresses their value on their next contracts.
Not my ideal solution but I can get behind it.
