I just love it, you figure he would have given up after his first 10 texts went unanswered. Nah lets send 63 to see if maybe number 60 does the charm!

Who somehow is still only 30.......

if Mika misses significant time, I think this team should be in full retreat mode on this shortened season

I'm not saying tank, but finishing in the top 4 with Mika was gonna be hard as it is

one more high draft pick added to the cupboard wont be worst thing

Personally, if thats what happens, Id use the pick as leverage to make a trade for a bonafide player.

me too, even if its #1 overall again

although the new Hughes brother, he looks pretty sick, I am sure the Devils or Canucks will be dying to get the kid

Yeah, if Mika is out for an extended period, ESPECIALLY if it's due to a concussion, than I am officially on board with making a pitch for PLD.

BTW, today is the first of only 4 times over the next 5 weeks that we have to wait more than one off-day for our next game!!

You think he goes all season in Columbus? Isn't he a free agent at season's end?

If Barkov is truly available, I view PLD as the consolation prize

I'm telling you man, left handed Adam Fox

Save a few missteps by Trouba who is apparently still having an issue adjusting to 1st pair responsibilities, He’s not going anywhere and frankly, the defense is not the real issue with this team.

The forwards are a mesh mash of highly skilled players, a lot of square pegs, in search of a round hole. Once again, the message from the coaching staff is, north/south hard to play against. Well, the problem is they aren’t. Kakko had numerous opportunities to go the net last night, instead, opting to skate wide rendering himself useless. Strome has never been anything more than a 4th line player, who enjoyed success as the breadman’s wing mate last year, but the bloom is off the rose. Buch has made strides, but he’s trying to play a game he’s not familiar with. I’m not sure where Chytil fits, and neither do they. Lemeiux and Gauthier are certainly willing, but especially iGauthier needs a bigger roll. This line jumping of Quinn’s, is annoying and counter productive. That bings me to young Laf, who is suppose to be an elite prospect, after 3 games I see no evidence of such a lofty title. Although, I blame Quinn here again.

I’m concerned for the long term health of Zib, way too many concussions, and it looked like he may have suffered another last night. All the more reason to be proactive and try to acquire PLD, not just for now, but quite possibly the immediate future.

The Rangers as constructed will be exactly what we see, when the game is fast and center ice is open they can skate with anyone, but when the middle gets clogged and they have to fight for every inch of ice, they’ll be worn down.

I’ve come to the conclusion Quinn is not the right man for this team. His ideas are on a college level, and appears to be resistant to coaching the team he has. As far as the front office goes, I didn’t like their approach to this season. They’ve given the players the idea that this season is 56 game tryout. That’s a recipe for failure.

If Barkov is truly available, I view PLD as the consolation prize

Im convinced Florida wont have the money to resign him.

I just hope we can get Coach Q with him in the trade. 🤪

I've said it before about Quinn, I look at the Flyers, they tried going with a college coach, gave it 3 and 1/2 seasons and then had to cut it loose

I don't think the Rangers are going to cut loose Quinn in a 56 game season when they had 14 million in dead cap space, but next season, after they improve the team this coming summer, they need to become much better or I believe he'll be a mid season casualty next year

Approaching double standard here. Can say the same thing about Strome
- Bean_Dip

Strome wasnt 4th in points among all forwards.

BTW, today is the first of only 4 times over the next 5 weeks that we have to wait more than one off-day for our next game!!

I was going to say I thought it was supposed to be a crazy schedule. Rangers keeping having like 3 days off between games
