Holy overreaction.
compare his 2nd season to 1st, his points dropped almost 36%, his +/- decreased by a whopping 38, even his hits went down 20. And now in preseason he is not looking anything close to what he was in his 1st full season. I don't want to be stuck with him for 6 seasons when we got a ton of good LD prospects and players.
Let's trade every player that has ever had a bad preseason because that's indicative of how that players career is going to track.
Lovely
lol I know it’s preseason and range fans wanna abort Staal, Skjei, Namestnikov and Vesey already
With the exception of Skjei who is a decent player, those guys truly aren't really all that good. Staal and Vesey have been meh players for a while and the Rangers who are rebuilding would be prudent to pass them over for younger players at this point.
he is playing like garbage in preseason, and most of last season, better trade him now before the hype train comes to a screeching halt.
Rangers got Staal, Smith, Claesson, O'Gara, Hajek, Crawley, Miller, Gross, Ragnarsson, Rykov, Day, etc. all LD
Staal, Smith, Claesson, O'Gara, Hajek, and Crawley already are outplaying Skjei in preseason.
Edit: I forgot Lindgren, he also outplayed Skjei in preseason.
I think he is more available than you think. Rangers are fairly stacked on LD.
I was curious though which teams currently have a a glaring need on LD?
Dumb post, none of those dmen have outplayed Skjeihe is playing like garbage in preseason, and most of last season, better trade him now before the hype train comes to a screeching halt.

Take Lucic off our hands and we can talk.

Habs. But what do the Rangers want? Wingers or picks? Is RW a need for the Rangers?
Piece of advice, do not trade Skjei because of O'Gara.
If you don't plan on taking my advice I offer Matt Gryzlyck and a 2020 3rd round pick.
The only dman who legit outplayed Skjei was Deangelo, that’s it. Skjei is only in his 3rd year and is counted on as the 1D, of course he’ll struggle a bit to adjust but he hasn’t been bad, you just overreact to everything/have really bad takes. Don’t think anyone takes you seriouslywrong, it is a smart post and they flat out outplayed him. Skjei is not displaying much skill or creativity, he has really regressed. I am blowing the whistle and pressing the panic button on this clown. He better get his crap together fast or trade him ASAP before he loses value.

Rangers need more dmen like Skjei, which makes this thread pretty dumb.Habs. But what do the Rangers want? Wingers or picks? Is RW a need for the Rangers?

Avoid dumb. The neat think about these boards is people can have a conversation on their opinions and possibly learn something along the way. Is it so hard for you to just say, the Rangers should keep Skjei?

Brent Seabrook exists. So does Zach Parise. Carey Price's contract is awful...There is no reason to talk. NYR are not taking Lucic, not for Staal, not for any bad contract we currently have, Lucic is likely the worst contract in the league at this point.
