This team traded for Ott about 3 years late.

I'm just happy we didn't sign him to that dumbass contract..

Actually I'm not sure I think he's the one that said no to the contract because he thought he was worth more.

Lehner not at practice.

Ullmark was called up the other day, I'd imagine this is expected.

I am not absolving Murray of responsibility. He tried to improve the quality of the D by acquiring Bogo (it failed) and he tried to improve the quality of the D by acquiring Kuli (it failed). But Murray's efforts at least prove that (i) he saw the need for a change, and (ii) he tried to make a change.

Has Bylsma done anything that has shown that he sees the need for a change or has the capacity to try to adapt?
- Der Kaiser

IMO, no.

It's going to be exciting to see who the scratches are tonight and maybe there are some call-ups today

how many coaches change their system mid-season?

Must be the coach's first season with these players I guess...

Well we're talking about dudes so I guess you and Jr have some things in common.


But I don't judge.

Lehner is concussed
- sbroads24

He did get bumped a lot during the Avs game.

Hopefully it's not a concussion, just a stiff neck.

2/27/17 | 5:30PM: EJ Hradek of the NHL Network said on Don La Greca's podcast that he is hearing the Winter Classic next year will be played at Citi Field and that it will likely include the Rangers and possibly the Buffalo Sabres.

Hradek said that he wasn't reporting this as hard news but that he was hearing it would be Citi Field as the venue, feature the Rangers and possibly Buffalo as part of it being the 10th Anniversary of the first Winter Classic.

Think about the players we would have right now ( estimating cap hit )
Steve Ott- 4m
Chris Stewart maybe 3.5-4m
Jamie mcginn 3m-4m
I'm sure I'm missing some others lol

Instead we have Moulson and Ennis on the 4th line making more than all of those listed....

Gionta with Kane and Eichel

Reinhart with Foligno and EROD

Trying to up Brian Gionta value I see

That's on Bylsma

Imagine if we had those players with our current dumpster fire fourth line lol

Must be the coach's first season with these players I guess...

For the record, I think Bylsma will be gone soon enough. I just don't know exactly how much it helps

Talk about bummer we don't get one

He'll get till Thanksgiving next year.

If this is still what we're watching he'll get the ax.

What's it going to hurt? We've seen 1 3/4 season under him and know he doesn't adjust, so what options are there?

I know you hate Murray, but I think many are of the opinion that neither coaching hire was his call, so perhaps he could find one to fit his actual vision (or at least someone who could coach a blueline into a system that can be effective)

Lehner back

With how many stadium series games there are I wouldn't be surprised if the rumors he is hearing turns out to be Buffalo hosting the Winter Classic (10 year anniversary) and the Rangers getting a Stadium Series game at Citi Field.

Having the Rangers host the Sabres makes zero sense.
