At this point, I'm all for it. Dahlin is obviously the prize, but I'll something of value in any one of Zadina, Svechnikov, Bouchard, Tkachuk, Dobson, Wahlstrom, Lunderstrom, etc. Just get us something good.

Tkachuk would be nice. We need a guy who is a bit of a bastard.

You know what’s sad is we all know this team is garbage and they have no shot but they’re just outside of a playoff spot and they’re desperation is even gone, I don’t care that they lose but (frank)ing give a poop, I have no one on this team outside of Hank to root for, Ziba is a ghost

You can still root for Kreider...this collapse happened the second he went down

Sorry Vin, that makes no sense. You want them to lose but look good doing it?
- mdw7413

I don’t think they have the talent but have some heart, don’t lose every battle in every game

If the Rangers get the 4th overal pick, Tkachuk is the guy.

We are not a good hockey team. Last in our division. And if the season ends today we get the #9 pick. Management has come out saying we are selling.

It's ironic now, I'm fed up with almost everybody on this roster except Lundqvist and recently Nash. He's easily been their best player, but he's surrounded by 18 turds on skates.
- tomburton99


This is a lost season and it’s really embarrassing the effort on the ice from the guys you expect to step up and be leaders not named Hank and Nash. J.T. Miller i am done with him completely done! Guy fuxking shows no effort in his own end. The lineup it’self fuxking blows. Sorry they should be embarrassed after this has been a reoccurring theme with theme game after game. Injuries are no excuse but the defense is by far the biggest issue with this team and I tell ya trading Mcdonagh is not the route i would necessarily go IMO. I think you keep Mcdonagh, Shatty, and Skeij. They need 3 defensemen on this team that are reliable in there own end. DeAngelo will never be in the NHL. Staal love the guy but it’s time to turn the page on him. Holden sorry see what you can get in return. As far as Brandon Smith i don’t want to see him play another game the rest of the season. I’m not going to write a novel here but it’s black and white these are the holes. Defense and lack of top end talent. No #1 center on this team. Love Hayes and Mika but not #1’s.

After the Crosby draft, we are due top pick. We need elite talent in NY.

Depends on who the pass on him for. Cause if it's for one of Boqvist or Bouchard, I won't hate it. If it's for Quinn Hughes, Joe Veleno or Joel Farabee then I'll go nuts.

Colby Armstrong made a great point, players see guys are on the block and they kind of mentally check out. This tank is actually very possible lol

Agreed. But I think Mcdonagh is part of the problem. He never shows any emotion.

It is only 4 points but those 4 points look like 20 the way they are playing.

Nice when management says poop like that and then expect players to bleed for them.

If you watched this team the last 3 weeks, as hockey ops person you'd sell too. They stink. But the hockey ops people are part of the problem.

Well, not your best game tonight, that's for sure. Not as bad as you think though.
Bruins are more or less healthy and are playing with some serious momentum they are making a lot of teams look bad at times.

You gotta stop with “knowing” how 17-18 yr olds are going to pan out in 3 or 4 years. It’s probbaly the most obnoxious thing you do out of about 100 obnoxious things

I'm probably one of the most positive guys on here, but this team is probably done.

They'd played this exact game vs Nashville 5 days ago. The Rangers stink.
