the payroll increased by only $1.1 million while Buch was moved so Kakko gets more playing time and Laf’s ice time trailed both Kredier and Panarin’s.

The more you know
So Kakko can put up big fat zilches still?

- Tampa added grit to a finesse team which was swept by Columbus to win back back Cups

- Isles, Carolina, Montreal, St Louis, Dallas and Vegas all have grit and have been successful in recent years due to that grit

- Rangers add grit so derailed a rebuild?
Rangers are not in a playoff mode: they did it because they were bullied by Wilson in a REGULAR season game. you see the problem? also saying "back to back" cups is generous for tampa when both are practically asterisks. I might get called out for Trolling with that, but they aren't legit cups. Both were won without a full season being played

Yeah you're gonna piss some people off with that comment. The bubble cup win for example was an absolute grind for those players...they lived in a hotel, for a few months not being able to see there family or go do anything.

wrong - the Rangers were bullied by the Islanders and Bruins last season and pushed around by the Canes in the play in when Covid arrived. There was no chance they could play with any physical team league wide. This was NOT b/c of Wilson. That’s ridiculous

Drury making those moves because your owner is a moron lmao. Also you're opinion on Hamilton is off.

The youngest roster in the NHL with 6/7 kids under 22 years of age skating around without protection was moronic.

and they didn't play a full season and played in a bubble. I apply the exact same logic to the lakers and dodgers titles. they have to be given an asterisk given the circumstances.

yeah a couple of 40 point centers really blows away what the Rangers have.
Ya cuz cleary hughes and hischier have hit their ceiling already and wont get better... man. Kakkos value must be a 4th at this point. Or wait lemme guess... he can still get better right? ill take Kakko and Laf for a 2nd and 3rd round pick, please!

so none of the players from the youngest team in the league will improve, the starting center will get Covid again while the star left wing will take off to Russia again

think people
still missing this... why is it that the rangers young players can get better and the devils cant? You act like the devils players actually improving this year means they're done developing. If Hughes was absolute garbage like Kakko and Laf this year would you be saying he can improve? just really confused here. Also in terms of prospect pools... were talking completely different leagues. Its NJ by a lot.

Think my G

Awful take on Tampa, but you're dead on. Ranger fans should be genuinely embarrassed. You got bullied by Tom wilson (like every team has) and blew up your front office cause big bad dolan was upset.

JOKE of an organization, and theres no argument. Any team Dolan runs is a shitshow.

first stage is denial hahahaha

Its amazing that rags fans can root for that team for so long and not understand how Dolan operates.

Buddy I think you're the one showing that... you clearly don't know shit about your teams owner and how he works. do some research and get back to me chief.

Didn't the Devils win a Cup in a season that was not played in full?

...that's not a question by the way. Yes, they did.

never mentioned the Devils prospects while the Rangers farm was ranked #1 and #2 over the past few years.

Look at the average ice time before you draw conclusions.

that was a strike season. did they alter the divisions, way of play and even the amount of fans?

So the Rangers weren't pushed around by everybody? Brett Howden belonged on a checking line?

Stop

try focusing on the ice. Adding grit to the youngest team was a no brainer with or without Dolan.

There for sure was a smaller group of fans for Game 3 and 4 of the SCF that year
I get you are a ranger fan and all, but the Devils were monsters and still had a very loud crowd to work with. Tampa had to play in an empty building one finals, and the next they still had to depend on their artificial noise. but this isn't about the bolts, this is about the team that gave them parts to win in the rangers
