i think zucker will fit right in. It’s always tough to say since crosby is such a unique player but zucker is kind of a Dupuis type player
you should hope they lose every game 1-0 but it won’t happen. shestorkin will be a stud, kakko will be a stud. Panarin is a top 5 player. But you guys really need a top center.
I wanted to tank this season (and I think I'm probably in the minority of Rangers fans) but here we are. Have to get Kreider locked up long term or deal him. I don't care what the call is, just don't let him walk for nothing.
I don't really understand the "play offs or else" crowd. I don't like Quinn. But I also don't hate him. He isn't getting fired if we go tank. He isn't getting fired if we go for the last WC and lose out on it. Might as well make it and let the kids run wild.
if you don’t make the playoffs you want the best pick possible. Finishing just outside the playoffs is the worst possible outcome for a team unless you literally win the lottery
Quinn isn't getting fired no matter what was my point. Our lotto balls are dried up, lets go snag that last wildcard bid.
I very much dislike Quinn and would like to see him gone. I think he has scuttled and is continuing to scuttle the development of younger players. Plus his handling of the goalie situation has been poor at best. This is all not his fault though. The Rangers still have three very bad contracts (Smith, Stall, and Henrik) and two that look like they could be bad (Trouba and Skjei).
The Rangers should be pushing for the WC though. They can score, but would need a hot goaltending performance. Also, Zibanejad is a 1C. What the Rangers need is a 2C, bc Strome is really a 3. There appears to be young talent in the pipeline along the wings and at D, but looks lacking at C.
Saw someone make a good point recently that ultimately the rebuild comes down to how Chytil develops. If he can become a legit 2C then theoretically every spot is filled, if not we’re still looking for one/need to go buy one. As an aside, Buch has been playing his ass off recently
Buchnevich and Kreider have both picked it up and now it looks like the Rangers have 2 lines that can produce consistently. Chytil is the key and hopefully him and Kakko can develop something going forward. It would be nice if they were grouped with Panarin in the future. I didn’t see the game last night, but Keane came up from the AHL and played in place of Stall. Hopefully he plays well and sticks around.
hard to pull off. i remember as a kid liking the white skates(fedorov) and white tape on the stick(forsberg). and the belfour Brian’s gear
Carcillo is one guy I have a very hard time feeling any sympathy for, he was always completely stupid, he will surely blame it on cte.
It’s super early still, but man, that Bobrovsky contract is already in the conversation for worst free agency contract ever.
I hate you. You’re not wrong though. Bob hasn’t been terrible, but the way Bob plays does not matchup for the Panthers at all and Dale Tallon refuses to make any changes to try and fix it.
