Buffalo fan here. Just wanted to say congrats NYR! Happy for you guys. No hard feelings from this buffalo fan. Hopefully you guys have yourself on heck of a good prospect. But either say it's all good since he was a totally free asset for you guys.

I don't understand all the butt hurt fans.

The Rangers have some of the youngest forwards corps in the league who have playoff experience and who can score 20+ goals any of them. When Nash wants to he can score 40. Zuccarello is a great player and Miller and Kreider are just starting to scratch their potential. I don't see the decline on that end.

On defense you have McD, Skjei and the Undertaker not to mention Kevin Klein who is a very good defensive d-man and then you have two albatross contracts on a guy that is hot and cold like Staal but when he is hot he is shut down and a guy that is really banged up in Girardi who fell off last year but for all we know could or could not bounce back to a respectable defensive dman like hes always been.

And Lundquist shows no signs of slowing down. Even if he did Shestyorkin looks like a great young goalie who is about a year or two from NHL time and is already starting in the KHL. Not to mention the Rags have about 3 other goalies in the system who could all backup Henrik.

The weakspot is the defense but they could potentially trade Nash for some help there. I am not even convinced a puck mover is the problem. We had a great one the last two years and Alain Vignault didnt know what to do with him.

Vesey is not gonna come in to play the top two lines. He is gonna come in and finish for two puck movers like Hayes and Buchnevich in the third line. That will also be a big line that isn't exactly a bully line but they all protect the puck well. The pressure is on the top two lines and I am not worried about them.

This makes our 4th line even stronger with Lindberg, Fast and one of the thousands of fast penalty killers we signed this offseason which means goodbye Tanner Glass which is a plus.

We got nothing out of St. Louis his final year or from Eric Staal yet we still made the playoffs.

I am not worried about the window closing. The average age of the team is a bunch of 25 year olds with a ton of playoff experience already. Dont make me laugh.

I just want to know where the fans get this stuff from?

The Penguins had an awful team 2 years ago and got hot last year and won a cup. Give me a ****ing break.

People just hate the Rangers on this site. So much hypocrisy. For example everyone always says oh we got blown out of the building by the Kings in the SCF, despite losing 3 games in OT.

Then the next season when we beat the Penguins in 5 games, but 2 went to OT and they were all one goal games, the narrative was we barely skated by Pittsburgh.

Sour for what? Sabres didnt need him, well if Kane stops acting up they dont. I thought he would sign in Buffalo, didnt care if did or not.

You're honestly expecting a career low for Hayes and then saying Vesey is going to only produce 30 as well. Cmon if he was on the Sabres you'd be having bad a different tone. Take a lap.

He litterally picks the team with the worst future. Guess new York and Kevin hayes have that appeal?

The Rangers have 10 forwards age 26 or younger. Their offense is all entering their prime. It will take a season to retool their defense and they are back.

Also they have their own Vasilevsky who is almost ready.

Decent pick up for free I guess. Can't see why he'd go to the Rangers personally, but he'll be good for 40 points in sure.
