Jan Levine: Game 39: NYR-PIT, Division rivals meet at MSG, power play, trade deadline Lead up to trade deadline starts in earnest today...

Nice job Jan,

I want the Rangers to make the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup and at the same time win the lottery for the 1st overall pick...

Is that too much to ask?

Feb 25th gonna be here quickly

I still think the trade deadline is too early

Avalanche has a shot.

this is 100% true

it would be like 1971 when Montreal won the Cup and had first overall pick because they heisted it in 1969 from Oakland and took Guy Lafleur

For them to have that pick in their back pocket makes them willing to trade their pick for whatever help they need...

My comment was tongue in cheek but to see that they actually have a legit shot at this (if not the cup at least a solid playoff run) is unreal

How can anyone wish delaying the rebuild
1. make P O's
2. Dont trade enuf vets & parts fast enuf
3.MUST GET GRADE A PARTS to NYR hockey team
4. anyone can be gone for grade A talent if available or make available (offer Sheets)
5. Sign grade A talent F A's

. only ques i have is who do u keep as your #2 center ...Hayes or Zbad
not keeping both with Howden, Chytl & Anderson waiting as well as Boo Nieves as 4th line center

Core of team is those left after we purge roster again to make room for rebuild
guys coming from system ,trades or FA's....

Dont wait , get moving on overhaul .. P O"s ..#pipedream

Damn. How about former #NYR Brandon Pirri?

Scored his 6th goal last night in 7 games since recall for Vegas

Has great shot, but he never sustains his play. Maybe this time will be different

The cure for a failing career is a stint with the Rangers.

Skjei-McQuaid
Staal-Pionk
DeAngelo-Shattenkirk


Jan: Why consistently list it in this order when its not in this order in terms of how they list it on MSG or by TOI?

Because ADA-Kirk seemed to be tagged by most writers as the third pair. In addition, PPTOI and SHTOI shouldn’t factor in to the pairings order.

Did anyone else catch Quinns comments in Brooks piece the other day? Talking about how they will "have to see whos left on the roster" when talking about bringing Lias back up. The comments certainly made it seem like the purge will happen

I meant Staal and Pionk are clearly the first paring but thanks for the answer

Its inevitable that it's going to happen, but will have to wait for week(s) leading up to deadline. Dundee can't wait that long, but Gorton will wait for that time so the haul will be that much higher. Just think about what was had for Nash!

Zuuc, Nam, and ??? will bring back some good picks prospects

I heard Chiarelli comment how there not many D men available right now ???
we got at least 4 up for sale .... sum with NMC or NTC but make it happen we got an array of talent .

I wonder if it starts slow with a trade here and there or he waits the 2 months.. still plenty of teams in the playoff hunt right now that wont be trade partners if they wait till the deadline

you dont know that , starting the bidiing now could blow open deals due to
reacting to the other guy moving... Edm will have a ripple affect i hope anyway

Pro not Re active ...thats the difference

More teams in fray now than waiting till Feb . more buyers now than sellers

later on the ratio will switch to more sellers less buyers as position becomes clear

A couple of strategic UFA signings over the next two years, our current pipeline, a good selection this year and resigning Hayes and Kreider puts us right back in it in my opinion. We should be competing for the cup when the 20-21 season rolls around.

If we can get rid of two of the three (Shatty, Skjei and Staal) it will will accelerate the process.
