I know I have been on hiatus from the blog since say before the pandemic? Maybe even before that. It wasn't like this when I left. Enjoyed reading everything everyone wrote. Jan, Glen, Vin, Brian, Kody, Matt, Jimmy, Dave, TJ, etc etc etc.

It's not the same for sure. I don't like having to sound like a broken record or whatever but yeah certain things in the comments aren't fun to read at all. Again I feel like we're getting trolled by other teams fans but at the same time it's just NYR fans trolling other NYR fans? When and why did that happen/start?

Being a former teacher for 8.5 years it helped to friend many people from HB to remember who is who. But yeah you know, if you write a song about facebook stalkin' you gotta stalk all the boys on hockeybuzz.

I just think he’s much held in a much higher regarded throughout the league than with NYR fans. He’s not bad, had a bad playoffs bc he had a piece of his ankle missing
- nyrangers9479

Agreed. We’re losing alot of intimidation in a hockey game without him. BUT these kids like Rempe and Cuylle need to step up. Roobreock I think is a beast on skates.

Trouba for Holl, Maatta or Petry I’d be down with. Any of the 3 we’d save anywhere from 5-5 million. Retainment would obviously lower that

Kreider Zib Bertuzzi
Panarin Trocheck Laf
Othmann Colton Chytil
Cuylle Edstrom Rempe
Vesey/JBrod

Miller Fox
Lindgren Schneider
Jones Holl
Robertson

I think on TDL day we get a big dman for a playoff run. Mikkola type guy. They can live with this sorta defense pre deadline

Colton for Kakko+
Trouba for Holl
Bert 7 yrs-5 mill per. He might be the most ideal guy out there for a long term guy. Trocheck 2.0

Nothing to crazy, but effective🤔

What’s up Pu$$ies?!! Ton of b*tches ruining this site I see. Nicky boy how we livin? Boys seriously can we just talk sense here and stop with the back and forth…

Anyway my belief is that this team isn’t that far off. You still gotta believe that guys like Laf, Schneider, Miller, Cuyle, and a healthy Chytil are going to get better. You want to tell me that guys like Panarin, Mika, Kreids, and Trochek are going to decline next season. I honestly have a difficult time believing that. Mika I think is going to have a Panarin Lite season coming up.

You want to call me too optimistic that’s fine but I saw a team that dominated last season and played extremely well two rounds in the playoffs. They ran into a Florida team that was just the better team. Rangers get past them they probably win the cup against Edmonton honestly. Do I want to make the excuse that the Rangers had some pretty significant injuries on the blue line and that’s why they struggled so much at times?? I mean Trouba playing with one ankle, Fox having knee issues, and Lindgren had broken ribs. You can’t say it didn’t play a role.

I 100% agree with the notion that this team needs to add players that can drive offense 5v5 and not another PP merchant and they need to getter bigger defensively. I don’t have the answers but the notion they should tear it up in my opinion is not the route to go.

I personally don’t want Patrick Kane. Think that would be a step in the wrong direction for me. We talk about adding pieces we need. We want to be a team that’s hard to play against. I have mentioned before I really like Marchassault. 7th in 5v5 point last season and think he could come in at a reasonable #.

Troubas contract su*ks balls but if you move on from him I would be careful what you wish for. Before his ankle injury nobody was complaining about his game. You could tell when he came back he wasn’t right. He brings a lot of intangible to the table that we all like in here and he logs a lot of minutes. So if you find someone to take him I would like to replace that nastiness and toughness on the blueline. Don’t want to revert back to being a soft team defensively.


Finally trade Kakko already. I have seen enough that I’m ready to move on. He is nothing special and come playoff time he plays ok defensively but his unwillingness to go to the hard areas in the offensive zone and win puck battles is just frustrating at this point. Time to cut our losses with him.

playoffs and jam. And he’s missing a tooth

Haven’t really heard his name attached to the rangers tho. He just seems unlikely

Toronto could use some of what Trouba brings. Maybe we could work out a trade for Bertuzzi or Domi?
Then, we'd just need to circle the date of that 1st game against them to know when we are losing one of our top players to a borderline elbow!

hey beautiful -- didn't realize Marchassault is already 33. But yeah him or Guentzel would be nice. I understand why we keep dishing out like 6+ year contracts but I'm not against some 3-5 year contracts instead. Also no more NMC for every guy we sign over a 6 million dollar AAV contract.
