stop w/failed win now rentals
vets for vets ok
youth for youth ok
we can NOT do any more futures for vets
continuing to ignore cap reality and doing more of the same = expect to have more of the sameThat’s nice but it’s gonna happen
Also the starting G Igor is a ranger pick
Garand future back up
D, Miller , Jones , Schneider Ranger picks
Lindgren , Fox original rangers
Only 2 D are not
F, Cuylee , Edstrom should stick
Laf, Kakko, pray Chytil gets back
Othmaan , Perrault should soon
Have some good AHL performances with Sykora and Berard
prospects are cool parades are cooler is the saying

time to learn with the bern, whether you choose to admit it or not
if you are correct and they do it anyway, it will likely not be enuf to ensure we get the cup, and that is the pt
improvement, if any, is irrelevant
it is cup or bust
best strategy is long term develop assets, not squander in win now
Unfortunately it’s the New York Rangers, and they always end up doing it. The Kakko one is the interesting thing to track right now.NO

I appreciate your 2 cents and right to say so.Unfortunately it’s the New York Rangers, and they always end up doing it. The Kakko one is the interesting thing to track right now.
We all see those flashes every game but Zadina showed those flashes leading up to last summer too, and his value just plummeted because the numbers weren’t there, going into his 24 yr old year. That’s the concern with Kakko, and it’s a very real concern, whether people want to admit it or not.
So I wouldn’t be surprised at all, if they trade him straight up for a player who provided what Copp did when he came. A veteran who can play up and down the lineup and produce in different roles.. Just maybe not a pending UFA like Copp was.
I think Kakko still has that value, but really not sure. I’d wager half of the managers would agree with me, and half wouldn’t give up a 2nd rounder for him. He’s just so hard to gauge. Not even sure Detroit would trade Copp himself for Kakko. He takes lots of crap from the stats only folks on this site, but Copp plays a very important role for Detroit, and still is around .5 ppg. That’s the type of player the Rangers need in the lineup every night. In fact, they probably need two of them. If Detroit was willing to keep $1.5 million, I’d make that deal in a heartbeat from the Rangers perspective, but not sure Detroit would. He’s a really good hockey player, who you know you can depend on every night. Unfortunately that’s not who Kakko is yet, and may never be.
So they have to figure out some things and dealing Kakko and Jones is likely on the table. So probably is their 1st rounder. Especially with the way this upcoming draft is looking. You’re looking at a 4-5 year development type player with that pick, so we may see more 1st rounders traded this year now. Just not a huge drop from 22ish and 50ish in this draft.
They’ll be one of the interesting teams to keep an eye on, cause as is, not sure they have what it takes to grind through more than one round, and maybe not even that. Just not deep enough up front.
We’ll see, but everything needs to be on the table, if it makes them a better, deeper team. Whether that’s a couple of cheap UFAs or players with term. Drury has to weigh those options, but think it’s fair to say, he’s adding a couple of forwards, and maybe a depth dman.
Buddy, the Rangers have no choice but to compete while Zibanejad is around. You have zero young potential top-6 centers in your organization. If you don’t compete with Zibanejad in his prime, it’s going to be a long, long time until you can find another 1C. Trust me on this.I appreciate your 2 cents and right to say so.
That said, I believe you are selling KK short.
He was productive in kid line w/far lesser version of LaF
It is not his fault once LaF skating no longer barely subpar, they have redeployed him or that Chytil got hurt
He looks good w/Cuyle.
they are doing ok w/Brodz for now
-----------
As to the rest of it
I am right, and if R mgmt continues to repeat its mistakes of rental for youth, it will continue to look bad.

What makes you think Detroit wants Trouba? They have young D that are already blocked this season. There's no logical reason that they'd want Trouba and that contract.pal a mina pal o mina
must push to compete, yes
but as has been said
1 def of insanity is doing same thing repeatedly and expecting dif results
We need to not deplete youth for temporary fixes
We can send Trouba retained 1m to DET next yr w/lower picks + get Ras + better picks
Rasmussen = 4th line pivot
Edstrom also, but figure him + Rempe as bookend Ws w/him
Trochek is fine
So far, Brodz is complementing Cuylle + KK who have chemistry. That stays unless/until real opportunity knocks
So it is about Kreider-Zib-______
I think Othmann + Berard ++ for Zegras + works
Kreider - Zeg - Zib
Selling 1sts/giving away youth/panic moves are not nec
And ef Rs mgmt if it insists repeating failed approach
He provides stuff others don't.What makes you think Detroit wants Trouba? They have young D that are already blocked this season. There's no logical reason that they'd want Trouba and that contract.
HF Detroit what say you?He provides stuff others don't.
Long term, full pop, no.
2 more seasons reduced to 7per, for reasonable acquisition cost? yes
Yeah, Ferraro doesn’t strike me as someone I’d spend a 1st on.If we're going to spend a 1st and Jones to get a dman, let's get someone with size.
But we don't even want him for 7/2, and we also don't have others with the "stuff" he provides.He provides stuff others don't.
Long term, full pop, no.

While it would be helped in the short term by swapping out Robertson for Jones, we can see theoretical Scanlin then Fortescue near term. In terms of immediate, Edstrom + Rempe have arrived. KAM + Schneid are not creampuffs. So I respectfully disagree as to "we also don't have others with the "stuff" he provides."But we don't even want him for 7/2, and we also don't have others with the "stuff" he provides.
We don't have a 1C now. Zibanejad is woefully miscast and it's a big reason we're like the 20th best team at 5v5.Buddy, the Rangers have no choice but to compete while Zibanejad is around. You have zero young potential top-6 centers in your organization. If you don’t compete with Zibanejad in his prime, it’s going to be a long, long time until you can find another 1C. Trust me on this.
while in theorie a fine strategy it failed with 4 consecutive top 10 picks for the rangers. kakko and laf still can turn the corner. but their current value is lower than the original draft picks. anderson and kravtsov delivered cloe to zero return.best strategy is long term develop assets, not squander in win now
