I am much happier with the Rangers having Trocheck instead of Toews at this point in both of their careers.

No to Toews!

I'd be on board with bringing Toews into the fold, so long as we can get him no later than Oct. 1, 2013.

Thoughts with all of you on this solemn day. The weather here is very fitting for it.
Personally, I'm fortunate to have a lift as I will be back on the ice for the 1st time since April. Hope they've moved the defibrillator closer to the benches!

What a great signing. Would have loved him in Ny, can play up and down lineup, kill penalties, score a bit.

I just don't know where he would fit in cap wise or roster wise

I don't think every single signing that happens in the league needs to turn into "they shouldn't have signed Reaves to that extra year"

Rangers have been done for a long time, there's no chance somebody making over 900K is being added here

Decent signing. With all the hate the kids gets, he did perform rather well with Sid out early last season.

if we are going to talk about Toews leadership abilities- I think its fair to bring up Kyle Beach. Toews was the captain and he should have been looking out for the rookies.

Hard pass for me.

That's an elephant in the room that no one has seemingly addressed.

His response to it was tone deaf at best

"How this situation went down, what the timeline was, what they knew, I can’t really comment on that. It’s obviously a tough day. Regardless of the mistakes that may have been made, for someone like Stan who has done so much for the Blackhawks, and Al as well, to lose everything they care about and their livelihoods as well, I don’t understand how that makes it go away – just delete them from existence and that’s it, we’ll never hear from them. So I have a lot of respect for them as people. They're good people."

When all the evidence points to the "good people" being absolute ghouls when it was originally reported to them


Also, he's just not that good anymore

No disagreement for me but then you have to expand that to others in the organization, including Kane etc,

Corey Pronman mailbag today in The Athletic:
Is there a center prospect out there the Rangers could realistically acquire for Nils Lundkvist? — Tim K.

I know he’s become a fan favorite so try not to take my head off for suggesting this to Ottawa fans, but I think a Ridly Greig for Lundkvist swap would make sense for both sides. Ottawa has their centers of the future (Stützle, Josh Norris, Shane Pinto) and a need for another legit top-four defenseman to that great group they’re building. My guess is even though I have Lundkvist rated slightly ahead of Greig, Ottawa wouldn’t do that, as Greig is far more the type of player they value than a smaller offensive defenseman who doesn’t have a high-end motor.

You're not wrong, but I would lay more responsibility on Toews ( as team Captain ) than I would Kane or any other player...

Greig is so small that he makes Lundkvist look big! Unless he puts 25 lbs onto his frame, I 'm not sure he can make it in the NHL. He currently has a shoulder injury and at his size I would expect him to be frequently hurt.
