Well we are both in Toronto and in my opinion from friends who are Leaf fans, they put Matthews over Mcdavid

Just saying you put McDavid in the 80s, with his speed, oh man what he would do

but you put vintage Gretzky in this era, without the two line pass rule, and playing Ottawa 10 times a season, he'd get 14 thousand assists.

Rangers have hired Mike Grier as adviser to hockey operations, Post has learned. Drury and Grier go back to mid-90s as BU teammates, reunited in Buffalo mid-00s. That fills vacancy created by Leetch's departure. Drury aggressive reaching out to candidates to fill mgt. spots.

Gretzky was such a cheat code. I think people forget just how insane he was for a stretch of time. By the time he got here, he was clearly aging and in decline and yet still almost helped drag us to the Final

Kovalev out with torn ACL. Karpovtsev out injured. Niklas Sundstrom out injured. Give Rangers a healthy team, they beat Philly.

Brooks says interview with Gallant may have happened already or will be done by tomorrow


The 57-year-old Gallant, who has compiled a 270-216-55 (.550) career record behind the bench of the Blue Jackets, Panthers and Golden Knights, has no personal connection to the 44-year-old Drury. But the Blueshirts have received multiple positive reports on Gallant from people who do have a personal connection with him.

It is theoretically possible that Drury could hire Gallant immediately if the coach aces the interview in order to give a jump-start to the offseason remodeling, but that seems unlikely. Speaking to other potential candidates would seem the appropriate way to proceed even if Drury is smitten with the one-time power winger for the Red Wings, who recorded 318 points (147-171) in 298 games over a four-season stretch beginning in 1986-87.

I love how he adds that. It serves absolutely no weight when deciding if he is a good candidate to coach or not

“ Injuries, mostly to his back, caused Gallant to miss over 30 games over the 1990–91 NHL season. In March 1991, he was forced to undergo surgery to remove a bone spur from his back, causing him to miss the rest of the regular season and the playoffs.[9] Gallant returned to the Wings as a full-time regular for the 1991–92 and 1992–93 seasons. He provided his usual physical presence and finished with a +16 and +20 plus/minus rating; however was unable to duplicate his scoring prowess and the Wings did not offer him a contract to return.”

How do you think Gallant will feel about trading for Eichel?

Tankathon has Matt Coronato going 15th

should they take him at the draft or wait until he says he only wants to play for Rangers and trade two second round picks for him down the line

Aatu raty has fallen hard, he was projected as the #1 overall in this draft as close as 2 years ago but has slipped since. I was reading that if people saw him play he’d still be in the top 5 but the lack of scouting has really accelerated his drop. If he’s there at 15 it might be a home run type pick.

yeah for sure, if we got him 15th overall would be perfect, if we were earlier no way

I do believe Raty and Kakko have played together

I'm in Niagara Falls, so I have about 50% Leaf fans, 25% Habs, 10% Sabres and 15% miscellaneous around me. Morons in every camp!

If he’s not there at 15 I go either Coronato or trade down into the late teens/early 20’s and take L’Heureux

I wouldn't mind that package, if Eichel were healthy.
...and wasn't an bumhole.

that's the kind of deal that Buffalo fans would instantly reject but should think twice about

Id do that in a heartbeat!!

Sabre's would want to add KK and another first rounder too!!

I think the sticking point would be they would want a center with a higher ceiling than Chytil, which we dont have.

It would suck to lose Nils or Braden but you got to give to get. A lot of reports are saying Buffalo doesn’t want to trade him to the Rangers. So we may have to overpay compared to other teams

I would love to somehow have them take Jones over Nils or Braden. Would even sweeten the deal with another pick
