I wonder if the Rangers were one of the 18 teams, and what the demand was from the Flyers?

If a young RHD was their need… probably Schneider & a 2nd, Id expand on the trade, add to it and ask for Walker in return also.

I 100% agree with him though. F this entitled kid and all the entitled kids like him. Fox pulled the same nonsense and so did Vesey.

all I care about is the Rangers, and more power to any young player that forces his way onto the Rangers

keep em coming

Leafs:

"Going into the 2024-25 season, the Leafs will have $54.15 million allocated towards five players in Auston Matthews, Nylander, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, and Morgan Rielly. All five have no movement clauses"

man, that's wild stuff

Gotta think we likely were, given our history scooping up those types of players

- Slimtj100


Does zegras have any jam at all though? He seems like a highly skilled, averagely sized, hockey player that plays centre. Not exactly what we need on this team

Guess we're at the point where we gotta take what we can get I guess

It really does feel like these next 23 games will dictate the direction Drury goes at the deadline. I don't think it's a given he spends a ton to load up this year if we're still scuffling along playing 500 hockey by late Feb early March

Idk. I think he’s under alot of pressure this year (from Dolan). Especially after the start. Last year probably has Dolan still angry. I think something major happens

Frankly I think they need it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sure, there's always pressure to win in NY. But if we are playing like this in late Feb, I can't see Drury thinking that a major roster reshaping at the TDL will somehow wake us up and make us cup contenders. That's never how the cup is won

He definitely gets under the skin of the opposing team

I dunno, from what I've heard of him he's obviously highly skilled with his trick shot goals and stuff, but the knock on him is he's not a very hard player. Clearly there's a reason why he's a young centre with two 60 pt seasons, yet Anaheim is still making him available

Think about what they’ve been playing with tho. You got basically 4-5 AHL level guys playing since Chytil went down 10 games into the season, and Kakko. And Fox. They’ve had their fair share of adversity. They got moxy. I don’t think there is a chance in hell they punt the season (for lack of a better word)

Goodrow
Bonino
Wheeler
Brodzinski
Leschyshyn

Yeah fair, the adversity has been real this season. All things considered, we're in a better spot in the standings right now than I would have guessed before the season began. But the slow decline can't continue up to late Feb and have Drury think we honestly have a shot at winning, if only we made 3 or 4 deadline deals to reshape the roster. That's all I'm saying.

Highly doubt that he will "punt" on the season, but if we drop to a wildcard spot by then, it's tough to see him going all-in either.

They have most pieces you need to win imo. Some are hurt, but some we need. 3C we won’t win it without. It’s a must. Chytil or someone else. Chytil is just too risky for my liking (counting on him I mean). We need a good 3rd line over everything else, it’s clear as day

Vancouver show you that. They actually 4 REALLY good lines. And they have their best two centers playing together. Kuzmenko has really struggled for them, he is about only guy who has
