RIP, Jimmy.
We were at uhh.... 363 pages in the last thread. While we don't technically have post limitations anymore, at some point they just become too big. With the TDL rapidly approaching, I figured it is time for a fresh thread.
Please keep us updated.I believe Drury may or may not do something at the deadline.

Drury is trading atleast one of those 1st rounders, I'm against that but the Rangers gonna Ranger. I would absolutely love if we kept them, and pushed our chips in next year when hopefully Lafreniere, Kakko, Robertson, Cullye etc are more finished products. Make some minor deals, to boost the lineup a bit. It would do a lot for the longevity of our playoff window to have 2 more 1st round players join the team on entry level deals in 3 years.

On D, Anaheim has 4 UFA's with expiring contracts. 5 if you include Moore but Ducks board is saying he is out indefinately won't return.Anaheim? Hmmm interesting.

Rangers were linked to Klingberg last season. It picked up steam but he got injured. Schneider stepped in and it was a blessing. Rangers don't need RD anyway. Not sure if he can also play LD?
Shatty plays the Right side. Rangers bought him out. Likely wont see him return.
One of the below would be more likely.
Kulikov plays both LD and RD. Former 1st round pick. Not sure what he would cost from a trade perspective? Maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder. He throws the body well. He blocks shots well. Would be 2nd on Rangers in that category behind Trouba. Of course he would have that icetime here. Gets under players skin. Dropps the mitts occasionally but he's not a fighter. More like what Dube did after the Trouba hit.
Beaulieu is playing LD on the 2nd Pair. He's been scratched a lot this season. Was recently sent to the AHL for conditioning. Hes back with the big club now. He's an above average fighter. Blocks a decent amount of shots. I added that category, becuase I think you want to see that for a 3rd pair Defenseman. He stans up for his teammates, but is more then just a gamer. He's an above average fighter.
Not sure what either of their Advanced stats look like.
Sounds like someone else has realized how little LeBrun brings to the table.Average Pierre Lebrun tweet
I’ve said before here. Kulikov has been pretty solid on a very bad Ducks team. He is playing way over his head on a top pairing, if he were to come here as a bottom pairing guy think he’d easily be an upgrade down there. Ducks got him for free, so shouldn’t cost much. He is playing RD, but can also play LD.
Tank bowl. Lol.Ducks play the Blackhawks tonight on ESPN+
Im going to watch that one. Wonder if the Rangers have scouts there. Im going to message some of the beat writers for those clubs. John Diets covers the Hawks. So does Scott Powers.

As I have said before, I’d taking my chances on renting Meier and looking to recapture some assets if he wasn’t going to be resigned. Remember, in the summer, everyone has more flexibility. If you think his post season rights would only bring back a second or third, well we will just have to agree to disagree.
