Yo, I'm going to flip a shit if Drury becomes the Penguins GM of all teams.

That's like Scott Stevens becoming a Rangers coach. Even if the fit may be right, it just won't look or feel right.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Any compensation if we let Drury go?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Any compensation if we let Drury go?

No. Draft pick compensation for off-ice personnel was retired

 

[Leetch3]

Pretty sure multiple teams have asked about drury in the past and for whatever reason the rangers have not given permission

 

[Savant]

Go get Konecny.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Go get Konecny.

we have a better chance of getting McDavid

 

[Savant]

I dont think that’s accurate.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I dont think that’s accurate.

Philly isn’t trading him to us.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

If I'm Drury, and I hear that the mandate would be to build the team around 3 guys who will not be playing in the league in a few years, then I beg out of that one. Sounds like a nightmare. They have no first this year. No first next year. They have nothing to build around. Nothing to trade. Free agency isn't going to save them. They are on the wrong side of the fence here.

 

[Savant]

I don’t think Philly cares. Hockey doesn’t seem to have a problem with trading in division. How many trades have the Rangers made with Columbus recently. Hell we’ve traded with the Devils recently. If that can happen anything can happen. Is it likely? Maybe not - but this is also only a message board.

It’s not going to happen.

don’t confuse deadline rentals with trading young high end talent. The dude was Phillys leading scorer last year. Nash trade happened a year before realignment and he forced his way here to begin with.

Discuss If you wish, but this has no chance of happening with out getting stupid.

Did the Nash trade. Did the Gaborik trade too. Everything on here is stupid.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Both happened pre alignment.

Not the same situation either.

 

[Fitzy]

A star player getting benched for one game isn’t really enough for a trade rumor.

It sounds horrible. They’d get so much from trading even 2 of the 3.

When a guy actually resigns from a hockey position that’s a huge red flag with the organization they are trying to get away from.

It doesn’t matter if it was pre-alignment. They made the trade knowing that they were going to be in the division. It wasn’t a surprise.

Bennet wants out if Calgary. Worth a look

What would u give up for him?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

What would u give up for him?

Lafresgue 1 for 1

 

[Savant]

Can he win a faceoff?

I know it's a thing but I never understand the "don't trade within the division" stuff. That's what cost Ottawa assets. They traded Hoffman to San Jose who then turned around an hour later to trade him to Florida, who are in Ottawa's division

 

[Savant]

So on faceoffs. There are two players in the NHL. In the top 30 of faceoffs won that are under 50% win percentage. Guess who is the worst of those 30 in that metric?

think the Rangers can get anyone on the list that would be able to make the team better? I advocated for a handful of guys on here over the summer and was tarred and feathered for it.
