I'd even take it a step more, we didn't didn't have garbarge rosters, in fact I would argue our Final team was one of the deepest in the league. Our main problem is that other than jagr, we never really had the one guy who could take over games. Gabby was close and is sort of unappreciated by fans, but by and large we just went through years and years of having tons of good, but not great players on the team.

Our roster that lost to the Bolts in the ECF was way better and deeper than the Hawks that year, but we didn't have a Kane that could just go into god mode.

I would argue that Big D!ck Rick could do it, just not in the playoffs it seemed.

I can't unsee this

You get more if you keep bothering me.

I predict Hank signs in Colorado for a year or two. They’re winning a cup there. Theyre to loaded not to. Avs or Boston for Hank

next stop?


Carolina Hurricanes

A class act, and a heck of a goalie. Congrats on an amazing career in New York, Henrik.

I'd be very surprised.

I can see him living in Denver.

I can't see him living in Raleigh.

Hank deserved better than the garbage rosters this team kept throwing out in front of him.

Best goalie of the cap era and it's not close.
- BINGO!

So is Carolina gonna sign Hank?

I think they'll make him an offer, not sure he'll come though.

I think a lot of what they'll do in net depends on if they can draft Askarov or not.

- BINGO!

but Askarov isnt coming this year anyway, so even if they drafted him, really Henrik would be a very good one year signing

It is kind of funny, Kreider was the only one to survive the era

Yup

- BINGO!

Even if you draft Askarov, you're not going to play him this year in the NHL are you? Hank on a one or two year deal seems possible. Any good private schools near Raleigh for his kids?

Rangers only have one player over the age of 29 now. Brendan Smith.

(frank) everyone, I'm out.

I've said this before and I'll say this again. I really think Hank and the Devils are a perfect fit. He's clearly better than Cory and it's not like Blackwood is winning a Vezina anytime soon. You sign Hank for a year or two, sell some tickets, and Hank doesn't have to move out of his NYC home.

I know people would say that the fans would instantly turn on Hank, but let's be honest, no one has cared about the Devils in about a decade and even when they were good, you could argue they didn't crack NYR fans top 3 most hated teams list

Next person who posts a god awful pick of lena dunham is getting banned for life or a rusty spoon to the jugular

- jimbro83

Yes, but that's the thing. If they can get Askarov they'll be more likely to sign a one or two year deal with a guy like Lundqvist or Holtby or somebody.

If they can't get Askarov, they'll probably be more open to pursuing a more longer term solution like Lehner or Markstrom.

Dude wtf

I'm moody today, sorry.

Almost all NJ Rangers fans have the Devils as their #1 hated team. Trust me

uh yeah I'd say the research triangle probably has one or two.
