Sergachev, Ferraro, etc. 26 and under players plz. 2 your guys there are overpaid and overtermed (or will be I.E. Provorov), and Soucy is just not good
- picklerick


Zadorov is overpaid? 5m per with the way the salary cap is going is nothing, especially if it preserves and protects Fox.

Provorov, yea he will get paid as a result of the cap going up. Soucy, I just threw that out there cause hes a giant.

Ok maybe Z is not overpaid but he is contracted until 2030 (age 35) with clauses

I asked JRR to make me an avatar of JT Miller puking on the Rangers logo. This is what I got

Meant to say, “homegrown forwards”. My bad!

Best team in the league drafting goalies, that’s for sure!

Im curious what the future for Boston is looking like, because if time is up and they decide its time to sell and rebuild... Id be VERY interested in Zadorov to play next to Fox.

Coincidentally just saw a video of him trolling Brady Tkachuk. Makes me want him bad.

Wonder if they’ve seen enough of Urho recently and will play Jones instead

By the time his contract expires, that 5m per will be nothing when the cap is over 100m and he will become a 3rd pairing, crease clearing nuisance. Sure players get old, but they're not always useless.

Im not worried about age right now, unless theyre already 35. All Im thinking about is what will make this team whole again for the next 2-3 years and big Z will definitely do that. The clauses open up year after year.

I guess they didn’t skate today off a b2b, but I’m really hoping we see an Othmann Trocheck Cuylle line tomorrow night. That’s a line with jam/edge and scoring abilities. It’s gonna be a fiery game vs the Isles. And I’m sure Deangelo will be a dyck out there lol

I wish we could stop playing guys on their off wing, but Cuylle doesnt seem bothered by it since hes a shoot first type player and it opens his blade up for one-timers.

We’ve had this LW excess for years, but I think in general we make this more of a big deal than it needs to be. Defensemen need to stay on their correct side more imo. Wingers can adjust more easily it seems

For offensive player less so but still many cant, dont like to, make the transition. Its a matter of playing from a forehand or backhand position. If youre a lefty, and a shoot first guy like Cuylle, its not so much an issue to play on the right side, but if you're a playmaker it makes it harder to make and receive a pass because youre on your backhand.

Why pay market value for a defenseman when you can have a fixed-cost asset in Scott Mayfield for free. I'll even pay for his train ticket to Penn*

It’s probably the older established guy tho. Like Othmann would kill to play in the NHL and if he needs to play RW he would in order to do that. Whereas as we’ve seen Panarin/Kreider refuse to move.

With that said, didn’t they have him (Othmann) play RW this year in Hartford? I remember us talking about this last year, and maybe even this year

I think the conclusion was he has played RW, primarily on the PP. Shooter on the right side, makes sense. I believe when he was called up he played on both left and right, trying him out wherever.

Im not saying you cant get excited, thats on you, but if you have been a Rangers fan longer than ive been alive, then you should be use to being disappointed.

Watch out for what?? Have you not been watching games this year?? You think this team, which after a 2 week break came back and got blown out 8-2 by the Sabres, had a big team meeting then played like they did yesterday, has any chance at all???

I hope you have a few bottles of aspirin on hand.

I do have plenty of aspirin! But if they get in and Igor is Igor you never know and I agree that this is not the time or the situation to go all in.Theres was enough of that with sather

People are just turned off by the way they’ve played for 57 games. And it hasn’t been great by any stretch. BUT, playoffs are a different animal in so many ways. Last year the team itself shot their load prior to the playoffs ending, and regular season was about as perfect as it could possibly be. So you hope maybe they’re conserving some energy during the regular season now, so they have more to give in the playoffs. Problem is they are flirting with disaster all together being out of the top 8 as of now so they need to get the desperation going now, and keep it. The thing is they aren’t ten pts out or anything so to say they have no chance is silly (pickle). 25 games is a lot of hockey to play where they could get in and in with plenty of room to spare. You just have to believe which is ultimately the problem in these parts lol

I mean on paper, we’re a better team than last year and it hasn’t really proven to be the case just yet. Buying is still a risky proposition tho which I get why people have reservations about them doing.

I’ve said all year, that although I’m hopeful, I do realize that a transition year may not be the worst outcome for this season. Because they needed to change a lot of things about the team in order to really be considered a contender

You guys can’t read. I was making a joke about it but nothing is funny anymore when I type. It said “I will not” delete the account. Feel free to find the blog

I would never leave you guys and yea if he plays with miller it could happen, but that may not happen every game. So it’s virtually impossible 😞

Ovechkin on the other hand, he gonna catch and pass Gretzky
