GDT: The 2020 TDL Challenge Thread - stay the course or buy the horse?

[HatTrick Swayze]

Definitely seems like a Kreider contract announcement.

JD to announce his return to the booth with Sam Rosen! Joe Mich fired effective immediately!

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Also awful, awful deal for Florida

Dale Tallon is clueless

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Maybe they have a number of things on the burner and need to get through the trade calls first

 

[NYR Viper]

I didn't realize Haula was a UFA at years end. That FLA-CAR deal isn't as bad as I originally thought

 

[Ghost of jas]

Kinda feel like it would be a Kreider resigning and they arent moving anyone... ugh

If they re-sign Kreider, other moves are coming.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Knowing the Rangers, and hockey more broadly, this presser will be a mostly meaningless check-in. No news with Hank, Kreider traded,

I think its more likely that he meets with the media to tell everyone that despite what happens today, hes happy with the progress and the guys who will still be here after the TDL are good enough and motivated enough to make a push.

GMs dont hold press conferences to announce extensions. They do how ever try to get out ahead of backlash.

Man, that Pageau trade really tanked the Dow this morning.

 

[NYROrtsFan]

If Kreider stays, I'd self rent Fast and see if you can ride the monster we have in goal right now. A 2nd rounder isn't changing the world either way.

 

[17futurecap]

Could it just be something like Hank asking to go home for the season, and they will reassess the situation this summer?

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

The players’ lounge on Sportsnet is garbage. It’s like the Dancing with the Stars version of NHL players. Colby Armstrong? Anthony Stewart?

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Anyone have a link to a livestream?

 

[Anthony5967]

Nothing leaks with the Rangers. I have a feeling it's something big. An announcement to announce a Kreider re-signing at 11AM and pushing practice back to do it? I don't buy it.

THIS is what I'm thinking as well

A blue muppet named Grimey?

I feel like this isn't true but I'm hoping you're correct

 

[DaBadGuy7]

I think JD presser is definitely Lundqvist related, has to be

 

[Avery16]

Maybe JD is announcing a new promotion for season ticket holders

 

[RangersFan1994]

Hank would rather go home than try to win a cup with another team? that makes no sense for Henrik

 

[hagsfan924]

I think Kreider re-signing and reason JD is announcing is because Gorton is working other trades still...

 

[rangersfansince08]

We should have traded Strome, Kreider, Fast and Skjei and we probably end up trading nobody.

 

[Raspewtin]

pushing back practice to hold a press conference about a contract extension sounds really unlikely but I can't shake this feeling that they really want to keep Kreider and will do it at a cost.

 

[Trxjw]

Prediction: Hank announces retirement, Kreider re-signs, and the Rangers are going for it to try and get Hank a cup.

I think Weekes knows something but is being respectful of his connections with NYR org
