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

[Gardner McKay]

Could it be a mutual contract termination with Hank? Allows him to sign pretty much wherever and gives him options to hop on a contender while allowing us to have cap flexibility. Wishful thinking but it is most definitely presser worthy.

Hearing two hickey Luddites on FAN talking about the Rangers hurts my brain.

Unconfirmed source says Kreider has resigned. Lets wait for others.

 

[duhmetreE]

I cant wait to see the meltdown if Kreider is signed.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Pushed back 20 minutes? What's going on

Kreider is playing Hide and Seek in the practice facility

 

[Off Sides]

JD to announce all you can drink free beer and souvenir hockey stick night.

Do tell

 

[duhmetreE]

They needed to fill the pool... Kreider is going to jump out of it at the presser

 

[Luger]

But when does the "stockpiling" of draft picks end? That's the key question that no one on the rebuild mode can ever seem to answer.

Many answered it: the rebuilding will go on until 2020-21 because the Rangers cap situation is a disaster until then, and the timeline for most original guys acquired (for Mcdonagh, Nash, Grabner, early picks) is roughly somewhere around 2021 or 2022 to start entering their prime.

The rebuilding was never going to end while they are on the hook for Hank, Staal, Smith and Shattenkirk.

the Rangers had better not have caved an forked over $50 million

JD is an emotional, sentimental guy. The more I think about it the more I think hes coming up to explain something Henrik related because he believes the fans deserve an upfront explanation and Lundqvist has earned it

 

[Trxjw]

Could be pushing it back so they can break the news to the team first and are still waiting for players to arrive.

 

[NYRangers0723]

If it's Hank related I'm going to be sad, straight up

up

Honestly if it gives us good cap relief I’m all for it.

 

[Raspewtin]

I'm preparing to be either really mad or really sad, tbh.

I lol'd.

 

[rangers1314]

Ill say my guess again - Hank won’t play the rest of the season. May take it as a chance to head home to Sweden early.

This is what my gut feeling is, and I hate it.

even better when those who love it today do a 180 and kill the org on the backend

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I'd rather be really sad than mad.

anything that comes from his mouth equates to Henrik Lundqvist not being here next season and it hurts my entire body

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Kreider re-signing would be a big mistake IMO but it feels like they really want it to hapoen

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Now its a "brief update"....

So that's jsut as random then because if the pieces are in place sooner why not just move things up? As I've said, this is another reason I'd dump Brady- that contract will help.

 

[Hitch16]

Is Gorton going to be at the presser? That means he isn't on the phone

 

[Gardner McKay]

I don't think it can be a trade because it would have been broken by now. It has to be Kreider or Lundqvist related.
