So whos 1st would you rather have? Tor or Carolina?

Toronto - that franchise is a shit show.

I'll take the one from the team that just lost to a 42 year old zamboni driver.

 

[Kovalev27]

Hank won’t be on this team next yesr you can bet your rent money on that one. He may be in frolunda next season quite frankly. But he won’t be playing here. My guess is retirement from the nhl. And a nice fat salary as an advisor/ambassador for the NY Rangers.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Carolina has 15 defenseman. I wonder if their is a Winnipeg re-dux this off season. Trade them back their 1st for Slavin or Gardiner. Not my shopping list mind you. Just pointing out it has been done, they have a surplus, and we have a need.

But less likely that they drop out of the playoffs.

Carolina is in the wildcard slot, no?

Toronto's is top-ten protected for a year, so I guess it matters how deep next season's draft is compared to this one.

Kreider staying on a 7 year deal isn't ideal, it's stupid, but if the moves that fall out are Skjei and Strome out, fine. I'll cross my fingers and hope to get at least 5 good years out of him.

The Skjei return is a bit light IMO but ok whatever, they cleared all that space which can now be used towards keeping DeAngelo and have another pick that they can use towards getting another player.

Fast still being here is also dumb, but who knows maybe they intend to keep him beyond the next 20 games.

I don't like how they've forced a window on themselves, but they've still maintained their flexibility. If they want to start winning next year, then you better make the necessary moves this summer and boot the dead weight.

Gorton already started by trading Skjei. No?
What if Lundqvist hangs them up?
Suddenly the books get lighter and lighter the next season.

True, but the Panthers are 2 points behind Toronto with a game in hand.

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

My plan to sign Nick Holden on the cheap in the offseason doesn't seem to silly now, does it?

Well, given Vegas just re-signed him to a 2 year deal, yes it does.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

That Goodrow deal is a weird one....

Right? I'm shaking my head at that. A 1st? Full disclosure I don't know much about him as a player but seriously, he didn't stand out much in the game the other night.

Also, can't believe Thornton didn't go anywhere.

[frozenrubber]

worse for whom?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

That was to be expexted. Hopefully both CAR and TOR frik up royally.

 

[mas0764]

worse for whom?

Presumably, whichever is worse for us.

Which figures.

 

[mike14]

The conditions on draft picks are getting really stupid...

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hard to believe (not)

 

[will1066]

Presser on.

 

[duhmetreE]

Maybe Sergachev could be had from TB in the offseason. They're really up against the cap and have Hedman and MacTruck already

 

[rangers1314]

Over 2 hours and still no announcement from the Rangers.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I'd pay real money to have someone ask Jeff why he caved on the 7th year this morning lol

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Oh my god he just said they think Kreider is going to get better

 

[NYRangers0723]

Hard to believe (not)

Skjei is young with term BUT he has also regressed since he signed so that is probably a reason why he didn’t fetch more. I mean it’s not a bad return. Even in the early 20s you can get a good player in a derp draft. Plus that salary relief is huge for Tony D. It’s a win win

 

[rangers1314]

Of course they aren't streaming the press conference over any of their social media. Jackasses.
