Playoff run, even if short, would be good development for the kids. Give them a taste of it, then by next season run with that determination and motivation to get back there.
If either of those teams go .500 the rest of the way, the Rangers would have to win all of their games.
Lets not get crazier than we already are.
Exactly. Unlike the last two years we aren’t gonna have a top 10 pick most likely so I honestly don’t see the harm in making the playoffs even if it’s short. It will only help the kids

We're closer to a top 10 pick than we are to a playoff spot.
. We are 13 right now I get it. But I like the feel for this team. Things have to go right I get it but hey I’m always gonna riot playoffs if we have a shot

You're asking a lot of me. LOL
Just the fact we were further back than 10 pts from the 8th spot two weeks ago,... and now only 10 pts from the top spot, shows how far we have come.
we need to sell !! This team needs one more year of acquiring assets. A pipe-dream of a playoff push isn't going to help the rebuild, it will hurt it.
If we sell and start losing, maybe we luck out with a top 10 pick that makes a difference down the road or can be flipped for a bigger piece to the puzzle.

True, But we also had more games infront of us to make up the gap (30+ instead of say, 21.)
Its like I said if they are even able to get into the 8th spot, they're going to have to earn it.
it won’t hurt. We aren’t getting a boatload of assets it appears. Teams have already started dropping out. It will only hurt if we trade young sssetd but we won’t do that
I love how people think winning hurts rebuilds. Weve missed the playoffs 2 years in a row and it will probably end up being 3 this year. Learning how to win is an essential step in a rebuild. Were already the youngest team in the nhl.
fast and kreider have to be traded. I love CK, but he can bring us a lot from somebody. With a wink and a nod trade him, resign him in the off season for a fair deal for both if hes willing, but the assets we get IMO are worth too much not to do it.
It ain’t happening dude. If we trade him he is most likely gone for good . Also we are t getting a mega return for him. Most likely a late first and a decent prospect. If they can’t reach a new deal with him fine but if they can agree over money this weekend he is staying especially if they win tonight. Playoff Push LGR!!!!
Yeah its about how they're winning.
No one can look at me with a straight face and say that a performance like last night's isn't a massive step for this group. In what was really a "must win" to stay in the hunt, they pretty much dominated from start to finish against a team that is pretty f***ing good and has been playing some good hockey of late.
When was the last time we saw a Ranger team play in a game and come out ready, focused and dominate? 2015?

Lose as much as you can for years in a row to get the best picks and then win it all within a one year window before all the ELCs and cost controlled contracts expire is a standard HF trope.

Really nothing suggests well get a lot for Kreider.
Zucker, with years, got a late first, a good but not great prospect, and a pretty bad asset in Galchenyuk.
Kase got a late first, a decent prospect, and 75% of Backes’ horrible contract.
Kreider would likely get us a 25-31 overall pick and a low ceiling prospect at best.

You cant trade players to avoid that?
The hawks did a very good job trading good young players for younger good players and kept their cup window open a long time.

For sure we have to earn it. Plus we also need some help. There are too many teams ahead of us.
But I feel good about our chances. For one, the Metro teams been playing most of the year way above what was expected. At the pace most teams in the Metro were playing, you would have needed over 100 pts to make the post season. Seems now they are coming back to reality with the competition getting stiffer this time of year.
Honestly I agree with him. The Pick we get is most likely gonna be 25-31 and I very much doubt they are giving up a top prospect for a rental. I think that’s part of the reason some have dropped out and it’s quiet. Plus teams see that CK and Gorton are still discussing a possible deal and maybe sense he is staying. Again I’m not saying it’s gonna happen but I don’t think we are getting this massive return that some think
