Motte should fire his agent by the way

I bet he was offered 3x 900 k . Caps too tight for 4t
Kreider-Mika-Goodrow
Panarin-Trocheck-Wheeler
Laf-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-Bonino-Pitlick

Calling it now, those'll be our lines by the end of october.

Under Gallant yes. Let’s hope the new coaching staff mixes it up

Laf , Zib , Kakko
Panarin , Chytil , Wheeler
Kreider , Trotchek , Goodrow
Cuylee , Bonino , Vesey / Pitlick
 
Staple says Drury lying about lafrenniere shopping.
He’s definitely on the block

Staple - The Athletic

First, let me say thanks for subscribing to the Rangers GM. Drury denied our report about the Rangers having gauged the trade market on Alexis Lafrenière, saying on Saturday afternoon that “there’s nothing further from the truth. I haven’t talked to one GM about Alexis. We hope he’s a Ranger for a long, long time.”

We’ll stand by our sources and agree to disagree. It was never going to be an easy decision to move the 2020 No. 1 pick and the Rangers were reportedly telling teams that inquired Saturday that they were not moving Lafrenière, so this may never have been more than sticking a finger in the wind. In any event, Lafrenière is here, he’ll likely sign for a year or two around $2.5-million per and he has a real chance in September to show he’s hungry for more with this team. The opportunity awaits.

Also, it won’t be the last time the GM and I are at odds, trust me.”

Staple is a hack

LOL. You should replace Torts' head with Drury's and Uncle Larry's with Staple's.
 
There are still quite a few intriguing names out there. I’m surprised.

Erne
Comtois
Motte
Toews
Dumba
Tarasenko
Bertuzzi
Tatar
Yamamoto
Domi
Puljujaarvi
Gurianov
Sundqvist
Dermott
Rodrigues
Jones
Holden
Heinen
Kiviranta
Some of those names aren’t intriguing, some of them are injured, and some of them have bad agents.
 
I'm hoping for:

Panarin-Mika-Kakko
Kreider-Trocheck-Wheeler
Laf-Pitlick-Chytil
Cuylle-Bonino-Vesey


Goodrow traded
If thats the lineup you can afford goody. And goody is better than pitlick, bonino, cuylle, vesey right now

Kreider-Mika-Goodrow
Panarin-Trocheck-Wheeler
Laf-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-Bonino-Pitlick

Calling it now, those'll be our lines by the end of october.
Cuylle will be in the lineup imo. Lavi likes guys who can drop the gloves and hes better than pitlick

Pass on all of em ty.

NO interest in most.
NO money for the 3 I'd personally consider
 
If this season doesnt include our 1oa and 2oa picks in the top 6 we can forget about it, nothing happens until those kids are a major part of this team, the vets make too much and you can't fill in the top 6 with guys like Vesey and Goodrow. Wheeler was a nice signing at that money but he should fill the 3rw spot not the 1rw spot.
 
Former 12th overall, which I didn't remember.

But, yeah, Bertuzzi and Domi are out of the $ window no matter what you think of them.

Yeah entirely possible that he’s just not going to be very good but he’s got size, speed and a heavy shot. If he’s willing to remold himself he can become a very useful player.

Someone will take a chance. But he’s a Russian so it probably wont be the Rangers.
 
Hopefully Lavi has no preconceived notions about who should be playing with who. Team needs a shake up in lines and pairs.
Lavi is much more in to puck pressure and the left wing lock than our previous coaches. He may adjust his lines based on his own preferences.

Saw Ryan Reeves got a 3 year contract for over 4 mill. I was surprised by the 3 years given his age.
