Why wait for the offseason? Everyone is reporting Kreider to Anaheim contract dump island. Kreider and Trouba together again.

If last year was a fluke then Anaheim probably got good value. If it's an indication of an overall decline, then NY did good. Anaheim is far too infatuated with fading power forwards.

The whole rebuild of the Rangers was doomed from the start. I don't care if they were the consensus "best players available" at their draft positions, if you've already decided to commit to two very good left wings, you don't go out and draft two more. THAT is when you have to address team needs, which was at the time on defense and, more importantly, center.

The way it’s being presented, Dolan doesn’t like the room so the vets gotta go. Trouba first, then Kreider, Mika next if he waives.

Brooks says they’re taking calls on Miller and Lafreniere as well. Laf has a mega deal kicking in that looks bad now, but probably won’t be in a few years with the cap rising.

I’m sure teams are salivating at a Cuylle offer sheet, but they are clearing cap to lock him up I’m guessing.

Official Kreider to Ducks for 4th and 3rd round swap and a no name. Rumor mill is the Ducks will offer Marner a 14mil/year contract. They can have him at that price lol

I read somewhere Sam Bennett has more playoff points THIS YEAR than Mitch Marner has his entire career. People want to pay top dollar for that...be my guest.

Should be noted that Dolan's other team, the Knicks, just finished their best season in a quarter century, promptly fired the coach who took them there, and now is being told no by every organization they ask that has prospective replacements.

This team is a mess. They brought JT in to change the culture, and it’s going as well as you’d think.

With him, Igor, Fox and Trochek there’s no chance at a tear down, but they look hopeless right now.

Mika gotta go. Panarin playing with a foot out the door. Laf sucks and his deal sucks more. Othmann busted.

Sullivan can’t be happy with what he’s seeing.

I don't get this team at all.

9-1-1 on the road.
1-7-1 at Monosodium Glutamate.

And just for good measure, all the way in the other conference and on the other side of the continent, the Los Angeles Kings:

9-1-2 away.
1-4-2 at Crypto Keeper Arena.

I don't recall there being not one, but TWO teams who were that dominant on the road and that putrid on home ice.

Death, taxes, bad jazz by Larry Dolan, and the Rangers issuing Letters to the Fans because they suck.

Rangers announce they're bubble wrapping Panarin until he gets traded. Won't play between now and the Olympic break at the very least if a deal doesn't materialize.

I'll allow it.
Dolan said he likes the direction Drury is bringing the team. Fans are asking "you like the basement?". :lol:

I keep seeing this story everywhere, so now you'll know it too. Trochek told his son he might get traded so they might have to move. Son said he's staying in NY because he's playing hockey and HE won't get traded. Good one, kid.

99 days since the Rangers won a home game in regulation. They don't have a home game for two more days. Can they beat the Leafs?

Rangers become the first team in the salary cap era to have less than 10 shots in a game. :laugh:
