Not sure if anyone saw, MSG had a summer update program thing with Valliquette and Micheletti. From what he saw so far, Joe was raving about Hajek and Ronning. More so on Hajek, saying at worst he’s probably a top 4 guy. And he can move to the right side down the road - Slimtj100
Joe would rave about Charles Manson if he laced them up for the Rangers
Stop with the rational arguments. This board is for tanking. - Fenrir
Lmao. I’ve noticed!! If a “contender” gets Karlsson, it makes them that much better for the next 8-9 years. Better getting him now than waiting 2-3 years and wishing you did.
Not looking to load up on UFAs. I would imagine we have to fill some cap space to reach the floor even with signing Hayes, Skjei, and Vesey (assuming we are trading spooner still).
Different question. How many rookies to we ice to start the season? - picklerick
I didnt come here to ruffle feathers but i am curious as to why you are so certain of a lot of these things ? Im not trying to bring the devils into this im trying to talk about youre team. I dont follow the rangers but we all know they are a rival of the team i do cheer for but i wouldnt say im very aware of the goings on in ranger land so i wanted to get some insight. I am havung a hard time understanding how the defense is better minus girardi (old news ) mcd and a rapidly aging staal. Who does the top six consist of ? You have to be banking on gut feelings here no ? You used colorado as being a team who has done a quick rebuild yet they havent consistantly made the play offs so i think they have gotten themselves on the right track a few times but also swayed off so i cant really say they successfully pulled a rebuild it two years they have been working on that a while now. - Shampoo
Again, there is no definitive rebuild. No set of rules. I’m not bashing NJ, just pointing out the misguided narratives that people have. ( I obviously think we have a better team) My point was really nobody knows who will or won’t be in playoffs. Skjei was still a rookie 2 seasons ago. Girardi and Klein have been replaced by Shattenkirk and combo of Pionk/ ADA.... Smith working out this summer with Rangers trainers in hope of being as good or better than he was 2 seasons ago. It’s been well documented how he showed up to camp out of shape last season, culminating in demotion to ahl. Rapidly aging Staal? Like that Benjamin Button guy? lol. Don’t Devs have 2 guys older? Staal was actually pretty steady last year and is serviceable while younger guys develop. Still 31 which isn’t exactly ancient
Stone and Ceci still need deals. So they are probably fine. - tomburton99
Anderson wants out too supposedly so he’s another 4.5.
If they have trouble reaching the cap floor because they attached Ryan and Karlsson they are dumber we all thought. At least keep Ryan and get more for Karlsson.

Melynk doesn't want to pay Bobby Ryan cause he might* be poor compared to NHL owners. Also has very questionable business dealings.
