Where do the Rangers go from here?

[LTIR]

Q: "Where do the Rangers go from here?"​

A: Flushing Meadows.

My guess is that they fly back to New York.

Chris Paul hitting a big 3 to cut the lead down to 42 vibes

I'll take him on the Devils no questions asked

 

[sattar18]

Panarin had 5g 10a for 15 it's in 16 games. Only player to score in this elimination game. 4 game winning goals.

That's not dead weight.

Rangers could benefit from moving on from Zibenejad and Trouba. It's time to shake up the core. They've had numerous chances. I love Adam Fox, but he has been a major letdown in the playoffs compared to the other elite defense men like Makar or Heiskenen.

Points aren’t everything but when Panarin isn’t even getting his (which he wasn’t this series) he’s a liability on the ice because his lack of awareness and physical play.

Get rid of Kakko and Chytil

Juice is probably not worth the squeeze, but if they can get something good...

I'd shoot for an Eichel type trade if I were them. Keep Zib, but give up quite a bit of futures to bring in a true #1C and bump Zibanejad down two 2C, where he's a lot scarier.

 

[MVP Zacha]

Technically correct, but let's not play dumb. MO is the one that is the one that everyone talks and refers to.

Technically correct, but both KS and MO claim KC as their own. And yes the Chiefs and Royals play in MO and the Sprint Center where a hockey team would play is in MO but both teams may end up in KS soon. Johnson County, MO voted down a sales tax to fund new stadiums and both teams are contemplating a move to the Legends outdoor mall in KS where Sporting KC play and the race track is. Plus, most players live on the KS side.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

They should trade Panarin and Zib for Brady Tkachuk.

 

[miscs75]

It is a nice city. But screw KSU. Rock, Chalk... Jayhawk! KU!!!

What if we just banished them to Staten Island and declared it a part of PA?

 

[5cotland]

So yet another coach will certainly prevent another long scoring drought for Panarin. Maybe its time to accept that doing well vs the caps isnt the same as doing well vs actual contenders

Well he 6 points v Carolina and 4 points v Florida.

He went at most two games without a point in 16 games. Not exactly a long scoring drought.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Panarin had a very bad game 6 up until the goal imo, but for the entire series I thought he was fine. Zibanejad seemed cooked after the Burns hit in the Canes series but he's gone ghosting before in the past. They're in a weird spot, they'll be good as long as they have Shesterkin but the backend needs a facelift. Fox is the only one who can consistently move the puck and he was on one leg this playoffs

Rangers are in very good shape once they get past next season. They will be very active come July 2025. It’s one of the worst kept secrets in NHL circles that theyre gearing up to take a run at draisaitl. And while people wanna pretend all agents dont talk to GM’s ahead of time, I wish I could be that trustworthy and naive.

Come July 2025 the rangers likely no longer have Kreider, Trouba, Goodrow, Kakko, Chytil, Lindgren and possibly panarin. They cant get rid of mika because the NMC

Rangers gameplan

Depend on your goalie

Try to win with second line forwards and no real star player

And no, Artemi "don't show up in the playoffs" Panarin doesn't count as a star player.

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

We won't change a damn thing aside from getting another year older with a core already past its prime.

i hope Igor leaves after his contractis up for a team that can win the cup (see also: not owned by James Dolan).

Here's to 30 years of futility and counting.

If this isn't an attempt to build like Florida, it's pretty bad job at it

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

If Im a fan of a team that tied up a ton of money long term in small tiny guys while also ignoring goalie, watching the playoffs would have me deeply concerned. Because what wins? Big heavy teams who can smother you and good goaltending. Luckily rangers have the ability to build that

 

[The don godfather]

Will Rempe be the new Kevin Maas?

The way he skates and if he loses balance he really gonna hurt himself.

 

[JianYang]

Stay the course, and keep going. Rangers have the constant advantage that many hockey players still want to play in that market, and it not like they need a whole lot.

 

[Roomtemperature]

My guess is that they fly back to New York.

I mean Disney world is a quick stop over. Go there first. Or Universal Studios if you'd prefer that

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Lmao, the comeback to a serious reply is me being a Devils fan. Glad to see your feelings are hurt for your bad attempt at an NHL GM mode roster. That team would get caved in the playoffs, but sure make it about the Devils as if the Devils didn't rail road your core/roster just last year.

Congrats on the cup last year btw.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Congrats on the cup last year btw.

Considering you came onto our board and laugh emoted everything after game 3, glad it worked out for the Rags too. Looking forward to the parade.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

My guess, Cancun or Costa Rica, Muskoka maybe

 

[RedRocking]

Not to mention a danger to himself and others and reviled by seemingly everyone else in the league.

OTOH, he is the best leader in the league.

No way Messier could be wrong about that, right…right??

 

[drktmplr12]

Augusta, Georgia

 

[Blackjack]

Look what a semi-impressive lineup I can make for my team if I just add Leon Draisatil and Shea Theodore to it. Amazing.

 

[chaser17]

You absolutely run it back with a little bit of tinkering. They will easily have the best looking roster in their division next year unless Carolina works a miracle in free agency. Only other team better than them in the east right now is Florida who will also have a busy offseason with their roster.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Trouba has a modified no trade clause now and Lindgren is a free agent. There’s a chance to be upgrade the defense getting rid of both of them. They do that and I think the Rangers can make it back here next season.
