Jan Levine: Breakup day for the Rangers plus one player re-signed and one added Unfinished business the theme

Yeah, the Kakko scratching is a head scratcher. I really wonder if this is more of a thing Babcock would do to get into a guy's head.

Jan,
You are the best and most dedicated writer on this site. I appreciate your dedication, and level headed thinking. Thanks again for another good year of reading about NYR on Hockeybuzz!

Best of the best Jan. Thanks for another year of giving us a place to talk Rangers hockey.

Do you have any news or details about the new hire Jessica Campbell?

Yea. Chuds on social media really need to know if she’s qualified or if she was hired because she’s a woman. Classic

Thanks Jan! Sorry we’re dycks most of the time

I like what Kakko is saying. Using as motivation. Which I truly believe was the reason for this scratch. Whether it was GG alone or Drury having a say, maybe they want to light a fire in him. He needs to put it all together

I’m very intrigued by Rydahl. Size and agitation combo is nice to have. He seems like a real pain in the ass to play against.

Looks like the Flyers offered Torts their head
Coaching job

Ya I know u mentioned Rydahl a few weeks ago, I’ve been reading up on him, seems like a perfect 4C and great replacement for Rooney. Adds a bit more size and physicality which we can use and likes to be an agitator out there. Blais Rydahl Goodrow could be a great 4th line.

No more than anyone else has. But anyone who has the pedigree that she does is most certainly worth a look and I like the team not limiting who they bring in. They did similar with Amanda Kessel. What I also want is full time skating coach, like Barbara Underhill, who was with the team in the past and is now with the Lightning.

She’s pretty hot …..

Crowd surfing. Let me know what you all think.
Do we try and do a mock draft again this year on the site? If so, any tweaks in terms of format compared to prior years?

Personally don’t know if we need to this year. Usually we have so much down time between the end of the season and the draft it’s always a good idea. Draft is only about 25 days away. Also the rangers don’t have a first round pick. Take some time off Jan, it’s a lot of extra work for you lol

yeah, I agree its a weird year and the draft is all Arizona and Montreal anyway

the more I have thought about it, I think its frightening that Kakko would get scratched in such a big game, and I have a hard time believing it's just because Gallant is stupid.

No mock drafts

Everyone post Nils trades instead..to every team in the league

Jimmy I would be all in on Patrice Bergeron. Feel like he is exactly what this team needs right now like how we needed Brad Richards at the time. Probably a long shot but wonder what it would take to keep Copp and sign a Bergeron. Maybe Bergeron sees what we have and thinks we are close.

Kreider Zib Kakko

Panarin Copp Kratsov

Laf Bergeron Chytil

Motte Goodrow Blais

guys like Bergeron or Malkin, I have got to hear some real speculation out there that there's a chance to get one of them before I'll start thinking about it

to me they are both pipe dream kinds of guys until I hear something real

I cant believe Flyers are hiring Tortorella, that guy is like Jason from Friday the 13th

They should be rebuilding, unless they think he can install the work ethic needed for young players

I admire a team that doesn't give a (frank) about analytics like the Flyers obviously don't though

that's ballsy these days
