No, hopefully Zibanejad is. Toronto is a great place to DJ I heard.

The ultimate Panarin placating move.
Bring in someone who makes as much as he does who also doesn't produce when it matters, at least that way he won't feel alone!
(I'm joking about Matthews before SA16 goes postal.)

Well one thing is for sure, Panarin would be a better fit with Matthews than he is with Zibanejad. Never gonna happen though we are stuck with Zibanejad forever.
Can we trade our loser Panarin for one of Toronto's losers (Marner, Tavares). They only have 2 years left so we'd get cap relief a year early.
I'm not so sure that Panarin could be a fit with anyone at this point.
Not even Vesey.
Just what the Rangers need more chokers that are softer than butter. I guess fans still want the Rangers to be easy to play against

Rangers would never get players with skill talent heart and emotion. Last players we had with that was Dubinsky Callahan and Sean Avery.
His system is old and is not how successful teams play today. His system is predicated on avoiding the middle of the ice, chipping the puck up the boards and out the zone.
Modern hockey is done by utilizing the middle of the ice with short passes and working as a 5 man unit going up together with speed through the neutral zone.
Gallants system worked for decades but unfortunately is not how hockey is played this decade.
He is unflexible in his approach no matter how wrong he is, and frequently blames everything other than himself and his shitty system.
He is the worst coach we have had since trottier and its not even close. The man is a buffoon who road the coattails of extremely good good goaltending in every franchise he has been with while his teams got worse every single year.
The man should never be hired again as a coach in the league.
This is a solid idea. We came out of this rebuild with too many good young players. Time to scrap a few so we can overpay for more free agents.
Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek were discussing Matthews contract. Elliotte believes Matthews wants to sign a 4-5 year contract to stay with TO. Matthews is 26 years old. It would have to be a contract which makes him the highest paid player in the sport.
Elliotte Friedman. Choir boys don't win the Cup. You need to have a team full of pricks.

You can win with a mix of both.
What you can't win with is a head case wanna be stand up comedian who shrivels at the first sign of adversity.
I suggested trading Panarin for one of them. The number of chokers would stay the same but we'd get a choker off our team in 2 years rather than 3.
Rather deal Panarin for nothing than more chokers. Rangers need to change the culture back to hard workers. The Dubinsky Callahan Brian Boyle Dom Moore type of players mixed with the elite skill Rangers have with Mika Fox etc. Cant wait for Cuylle Othmann Sykora hopefully to be that types for the Rangers in the future.
I wish people would stop this nonsense. So we get a new coach and do you really think he is going to immediately stick his ass on the line and put both Laf and Kakko on the first line so we can "see what they really can do". No he won't. Any coach with a brain will come in and have a prove it process meaning you earn playing time based on performance. This silliness 3 weeks into the off season is over the top. Its obvious posters put down what they want to see versus what is best for team and what a sound coach would do.

If the Rangers end up moving on from Jones or Lindgren I wouldn’t mind taking a look at Durzi from LA assuming they re-sign Garikgov
THATS the problem you have with that post?
I think Drury will hire a coach that will tighten the leash on Panarin. Drury was unhappy with Panarin's playoff performance last season so he must be furious after what happened this season. GG is too much of a player's coach to rein in Panarin.

Why is everyone trying to trade all our young players instead of the overpaid do nothings that cost us a run this year? If you add up Panarin, Trouba and Zibanejad's salary vs their production or effort in the playoffs its obvious where the problem lies in the cap world. You can't have 3 guys eating that much cap and laying an egg like that.
Panarin to Calgary for Huberdeau makes sense until you factor the NTC. I honestly dont think he's going anywhere

I don’t think Panarin is going to waive unless Drury literally calls him and tells him how much he doesn’t want him on the team. In reality we have two players we could move in Goodrow and Lindgren. I am not a fan of moving Lindgren at his cap hit at all. Goodrow I can almost guarantee is getting traded even if it costs assets to move him. We just can’t sacrifice losing our young core players because of older vets. If for some reason Panarin did waive I’m not looking to take another terrible contract back. I would consider marner because of his age, but Toronto would be dumb to do that. If he waived and we could free up a ton of cap space to just add depth around the lineup I would be pumped. I would even try to keep Goodrow.

I hope Toronto signs him to that contract so we don't have to worry about it.
I think the biggest obstacle to moving Panarin will be whether or not Drury has the stones to do it. He's not getting a great package back for him and that's going to be a hard sell to fans under normal circumstances. What Drury has working in his favor right now is that most fans are fed up with Panarin. So giving him the boot for a bad contract, middle-six player, B prospect and a pick isn't quite as tough of a pill to swallow. Players generally don't want to stay in a place where it's widely known the team doesn't want him.
If Panarin is here next year, Chytil should be his center and Laf and Kakko should be stapled on either side of Zib. Kreider and Trocheck played well together and they can give the team a different look for a 3rd line.

Panarin has a full nmc. He’s not waiving it unless it’s the absolute perfect scenario, and almost no team that is a “perfect “ scenario can afford that contract without us taking back shit.
