That's possible. But like someone said previously with leafs grabbing Gleason today they could be out of it for Girardi . I'd love for us to package something for eberle honestly, I think he's in the seguin bobby Ryan mold as the next young star to be dealt.

Gleason is a good pickup for them but that doesnt mean they cant use a shutdown dman too. Girardi-Gleason would be a good pairing
 
Who said Girardi + for kadri? I said kadri for Girardi straight up makes sense for us

how??

you dont move someone if you dont have an adequate replacement..

whos playing 25+ mins a night in that top spot?

stralman hahah

Allen?

do i dare say MDZ ahaha

so we go from having a pretty solid core on d to just Staal and Mac?

The D is bad as it is this year. We keep Girardi and pay him 6+ mil a year when he's showing signs of decline or trade him to a contender and get value for him before he walks when we aren't going anywhere this year. You make it seem like this team has a shot at the cup, when you're not winning you sell off pieces like this to better the future instead of suffering through **** hockey

Frankly I hope we move Girardi so we can get back to playing bad, and fall out of a spot.

I don't even care that I just rooted for the Rangers to fail. I'm ****ing sick to death of mediocrity. Give me a high draft pick over a 1st round exit.

Lol I've been saying this all year. Trade del zotto Girardi Callahan for 1st and young players get a top 5 draft pick draft good and start fresh.

You guys are the types of "fans" I hate being around or even associated with. No fan in my mind wishes their team to fail regardless of where it puts you in the draft order. I seriously can't stand the "what have you done for me lately" online fan with a sense of entitlement.

Its a message board and if you dont like it, ignore it brother.

You're the kind of fan that keeps this team perpetually mediocre. Good job.

Twenty years since this team was a real contender, except a fluke 2011-2012 team who had everything go right for it. Thirteen years of a buffoon who cant even build a cabin with Lincoln Logs. You're damn right what have you done for me lately.

If you don't like it, you can leave or ignore us.

What does this have to do with "what have you done for me lately?". Are you content with watching this hot garbage every year?

Haha this guy,

Why not instead of complaining offer up some things for discussion?

Thank you for this post. I was gunna respond myself but it would be a lot of censored words followed by a happy ****ing new year and enjoy mediocrity

That's ridiculous. I don't root against the Rangers because unlike the NFL there are 82 games and a lottery. That said just because you have an overly emotional mindset when it comes to being a fan doesn't mean anyone that rationally wants the team to be a long term cup contender and is willing to suffer through bad hockey is a bad fan. It means that you have no patience and are overly emotional and can't look at things rationally.
 
Too many people patting themselves on the back for rooting for their team to win every game. They think that's some sort of standard of being a good fan. They're also likely to be the type that think you're a bad fan if you say anything negative about the team. Like the opposite of BRB.

Most fans, if they're serious fans, grow out of at that stage at like 15. But apparently not everyone. Then they lecture others about being bad fans.
 
haha you kids crack me up. Is everyone done getting their little imaginary crosschecks in? Listen, I don't post here much, but I do like to check in here and there. I open a trade thread to get maybe some info and all it is for the most part is incessant whining. I'm not happy with mediocrity and I've been watching the Rangers for 30 years. I love the game and the team. Maybe it's just an old school mentality, but as frustrated as I am as a fan, I just can't or won't wish my team to fail. That doesn't sit well with me and wanted to toss it in here.

Pounce on me all you want guys, it's cool and I don't take offense. It's actually kind of funny how quickly the elbows came flying hahaha.

Nobody pounced but if you have a problem with opinions on a message board then you should ignore that message board. It doesnt revolve around you
 
I don't want this team to lose any game they play. But I also don't want this team to be .500 and bounced every year in the first round. With that being said I'm all for a full on rebuild but most fans can't sit through that , just because I wanna trade players and get a top draft pick doesn't make me less of a fan than anyone, in fact I feel like I'm more reasonable than most. some of you guys have become delusional with your over value and undervalue of players. Hank has a bad start trade him but has 3 good games and everyone flip flops. Nothing worse than a flip flop fan
 
6 1st rounders already important to their teams. MacKinnon, Barkov, Jones, Lindholm, Monahan and Nichuskin. Ristolainen and Zadorov have also played. Looks like a good year.

Rangers have 11 guys total between the CHL, Colleges and Europe. The only sure thing of all of them is Skjei. I'd trade the entire batch for any of MacKinnon, Barkov, Jones or Monahan.

I'd rank them:

1. Skjei-LD--a stay at home in one of our already strongest positions.
2. Buchnevich-W--probably the most talented overall but he has at least one more year in the KHL and not a slam dunk he ever comes to North America.
3. Nieves-C--growing pains in his sophomore year at Michigan U.
4. Duclair-W--lots of speed and tearing up the Q. A little on the small side.

After that it drops off.

5. Calle Andersson-D--good skills--a righty shot.
6. Ryan Graves-D--size and toughness--if he ever makes the NHL--bottom pairing guy--think Justin Falk. That's his upside.
7. Adam Tambellini-W--very so-so freshman year at North Dakota U.
8. Troy Donnay-D--another righty D stay at home type. 6'7" and only 185 lbs?
9. MacKenzie Skapski-G
10. Steven Fogarty-C--two years struggling at Notre Dame U.
11. Thomas Spelling-W--currently playing in a subpar Danish league.


The list is mostly correctimundo, except for Kristo, Lindberg and Fast, who may well all be here next year, and Yogan, who let's not overvalue, but he should be competing for 4th line at min. While Poo's game is better over the last wk +, Poo and also Dorsett I want to see more from, or don't hesitate to trade for picks now that are useful later.

As to the bold, yeah, but let's face it, to get a top guy like that. you have to do some of the **** I propose, and you guys mostly don't want to overpay to get anybody like that.

A while back I suggested overpaying w/Girardi + Staal + for Taylor Hall.
Value was ok, didn't happen cause he is the face of their franchise.

Oilers are none too quick about moving Hall, but under the heading of you have to give to get, they sure would have loved Staal + Girardi.

That ship has sailed.

So, what outside the box maneuver can we all (mostly) agree on?
