Hey Oliver Twist, go back to the rags thread, no one wants you here. Well, I am sure the rest of the ranger fans want you here, but we dont.

it was a 3rd round for Hunwick and Sheary (both had 2 years on this contract)

we basically gave up a 3rd rounder for cap dumps

If I take a 5th of a 6th, but only a 3rd of a 4th, am I basically even? 😅

B+

in that format I would have paid a bit more to ensure I got henry at all cost and tried to get either harris or zeke due to points per rush

your top 4 rb's are solid in a strict ppr format but none of them are 20 plus carry guy rb's

taylor would be if mack went away but he didn't

Henry went for 110, on a 200 budget. Harris was about Taylor. Both around 70. My team is looking middle of the pack for sure. Just gotta make the playoffs.

So that Jakub Konecny kid might actually be an NHL prospect. Would be nice to hit on a few late rounders.

Perhaps the greatest defenseman to have ever lived, Jake Gardiner will miss the entire season.

nice writeup, hank...joker could make a fine complimentary rhd for either dahlin or power...

i thought his game really started to come along when paired with scandella...then botts traded him...never did understand that one

They tried the entire last offseason to make a quick fix, and the culmination of the moves made has lead to the point the star player now demands to be traded.

Are we forgetting that happened?

- kingcong39

don't forget tmgm's rushed rebuild, which was quick-fix as well...the only common thread between 2016 and 2020 is ownership...

and i'm not even on twitter

Also as time goes on it’s looking more and more like the Eichel situation has been totally fumbled.

Adams has been a complete disaster so far, but hey, at least he is good at press conferences

his press conferences suck

Yup he repeats himself every press conference. It’s almost like what’s the point in doing it if you have nothing new to say

the point is to make one available to the media...and he, like every other manager/coach/player, fulfills that obligation even though he (they) may not say much
