Lundqvist should have a word with his equipment man as he's apparently incapable of providing him a mask with functional straps.

I thought Yzerman was a lock for the Detroit job. I wonder if he's letting it be known that he's willing to talk to the Rangers in order to force Detroit's hand? He already said that he wasn't interested in talking to the Senators, but that is of exactly zero relevance given no one who is actually remotely competent would be interested in working for our shitbag of an owner. I'd rather work as an ice girl for the Rangers than President of Hockey Ops for Melnyk.

If he has a great tournament then you might find yourself looking at Jack Hughes - he's an excellent player but he's a little undersized still for a center, while Kaako is already a big man and an accomplished player who is ready to play in the NHL today. I can see the Devils, with a bunch of good veterans on their roster already, taking a player who helps them immediately.

I would be extremely happy with either. I’ve been reading more about Kakko and prefer him slightly at this point, but it seems both have the potential to be franchise altering players.

Absolutely. I just think that Hughes might take a bit longer to develop, which is probably OK for the Rangers as they're in at least a semi-rebuild. The Devils already have a young 1C in Hischier and a bunch of vets like Zajac, Hall and Palmieri - I think Kaako will interest them.

Center is a much higher value than wing. Zajac is almost done and Hall is exclusively a winger. You can roll 2 number one picks at center, I don’t think that’s an opportunity they can pass up. I think they’ll stick with Hughes and Kappo will be a Ranger.

You may well be right, but Zajac is still a very decent player and Hughes probably won't play in the NHL next year, much less play top 6 minutes. They also have a bunch of cap space, and I don't think you waste any of Hall's prime years waiting for Hughes to be ready - they're just not in rebuild phase. Obviously you're correct about the relative value of positions, but I think that the Devils are in win now mode, or at least not rebuild, so Kakko has a significant value. We shall see but I don't think it's a lock that they take Hughes, especially if Kakko has a blinding world championship.

I don’t disagree with any of this. Kaako could very well be the better player now...and later. I think both teams are in a great position and as an Isles fan, that kind of sucks. I do see NJ taking Hughes though.

I'd rather he stayed in the West, but of all the teams in the East he could go to I don't mind the Rangers and Bolts at all. I think the Bolts would be his preference because he's big buddies with Hedman and he desperately wants a ring, but they're already up against it on the cap and they still have to pay Braden Point.

I can't see him having any interest in the Leafs or Habs, and I really don't want him in Detroit because I think Yzerman is already going to build a powerhouse there and Karlsson would make it even stronger. I think it's probably the team that makes most sense though.

Valid center-needy observation JE but Davidson and Gordon are (hopefully) looking beyond 2020-2021, i.e. not concerning themselves with merely getting into the playoffs but continuing the rebuild to perennial contender status by adding a cornerstone talent to the mix.  Rangers have a flock of young talent (plus the Cane's 1st round pick) and having Lafreniere on a rookie deal under a flat salary cap until 2023 enables the Rangers to go after veteran help at center and defense.

Yes but what do you do with him? You can give him third line minutes as a rookie but you're still running into the whole problem of the size and length of the contracts that you already gave your top 2 LWs. I don't think they're bad contracts because they're both good players, even if Kreider is a dirty goalie-running freak and the contracts are both a little big, but you've got them both for the next 6 years and you're not moving either of them so how do you fit three talents into two spots?

I think that trading out of #1 to 2 or 3 and taking Stutzle or Byfield is the definition of looking beyond 20/21; your 2C is Ryan Strome who isn't great and only has a year left on his deal, and Byfield and Stutzle both project to be top centers. Byfield in particular is big, strong and skilled, he's still only 17 albeit for a few more days, I think that if you can trade #1 to LA for #2 and a good prospect then it makes sense in all sorts of ways.

trade Kreider for a Dman that can play in your top 4.  Problem solved.  Carolina has a glut of top defensmen.

Why would Carolina give up a top 4 D for a $7M LW when they've got an elite young starter on the top line, a solid player on the second line and Kreider-lite playing on the third? They'd get much better value for their Dman elsewhere.

Right you are Macc. The Rangers taking Lafreniere is the same mindset as the Jets continually picking DL because they're BPA and look how that's worked out for us - there's a reason that every year people bleat about trading out. I'm not talking about dropping to mid round, we're talking about dropping a spot or two to take a player who in many other years would be the concensus 1OA, who fits the Rangers long term model much better, and getting an additional player or pick into the bargain.

If they take Lafreniere it won't be a bad decision because he projects to be an incredible player, but I think that letting him go to LA and adding a player who fits their short, medium and long term needs better while also adding a piece that can help right now at the very least bears consideration.

they can trade from a position of strength/depth. For example,  their 3rd pairing Dmen could play on the top pairing for some franchises.

The point is, you don't trade away the chance to draft a generational talent like Lafreniere because "durrr, i can't find a spot for him in our top 6".

they can trade from a position of strength/depth. For example,  their 3rd pairing Dmen could play on the top pairing for some franchises.

Sure. My point was that they probably don't really have much use for Kreider and his $7M a year.

Quote
The point is, you don't trade away the chance to draft a generational talent like Lafreniere because "durrr, i can't find a spot for him in our top 6".

I think that we have effectively proven that BPA is a poor drafting strategy for incomplete teams. The Rangers have the potential to become really good as a team really quickly if they do this right; I don't think that Lafreniere will move the needle for them. He'll look great alongside Zibanejad and he might even do well next to Strome next year, but that will make Kreider an expensive odd man out.

If the generational talent was a centre I might be inclined to agree because no team will ever have enough centres, but I can only think of one winger who has changed the face and fortunes of a franchise in the last 20 years and it still took him almost 15 years to drag his team to the Stanley Cup. Panarin is an elite talent but they're not winning a Cup because they've got the best 1-2 punch at LW in the league.

LA makes a bunch more sense, because they can be sure of getting their preferred C at #2 and Lafreniere is out of the division. So I agree, they're probably not although our prospect pool would be attractive.

You're comparing BPA football drafting to hockey drafting.  Which isn't the same.

I don't care if Kreider is making 10m a year, you don't pass on Lafreniere.  And guess what, neither will the Rangers.

Nobody is trading into the top 10, let alone for the #1 pick.  The draft is LOADED this year.  You'll be able to get a guy in the back half of the first round that normally would've been in the top 10.

Yes but what do you do with him? You can give him third line minutes as a rookie but you're still running into the whole problem of the size and length of the contracts that you already gave your top 2 LWs. I don't think they're bad contracts because they're both good players,

 even if Kreider is a dirty goalie-running freak

and the contracts are both a little big, but you've got them both for the next 6 years and you're not moving either of them so how do you fit three talents into two spots?

I think that trading out of #1 to 2 or 3 and taking Stutzle or Byfield is the definition of looking beyond 20/21; your 2C is Ryan Strome who isn't great and only has a year left on his deal, and Byfield and Stutzle both project to be top centers. Byfield in particular is big, strong and skilled, he's still only 17 albeit for a few more days, I think that if you can trade #1 to LA for #2 and a good prospect then it makes sense in all sorts of ways.
Kreider-Price: 2014.
Price-Kreider: 2015: https://twitter.com/MarcPDumont/status/654839044527013889

Moving on, the only NYR with goon in him might be Brendan Lemieux (son of Claude). Kreider's no Nazem Kadri, or Tom "I'm just playing physical" Wilson, or Antoine Roussel, let alone that dbag Marchant. 

While Byfield's a legit argument, I'm going to count on the Ranger brass to address the center/defense issue down the road (the NYR LW/ Jets DT argument be damned)--this kid's playmaking vision is just too intriguing imho.  Just spitballing: taking SFD's Kreider to RW into consideration, why not Panarin whose game can be more 'east-west' fluid.  If they do trade the pick to the Kings and tab Byfield so be it; I'm just going partially on emotion and hoping they don't.

Defenseman K’Andre Miller’s agent, as well as a Rangers source, refuted a report that his teammate Tony DeAngelo kept the puck from Miller’s first NHL goal. Miller’s agent Ian Pulver told ESPN: “It’s K’Andre’s understanding that the NYR equipment manager, or whoever is responsible for getting it, has the puck and that it’s being framed like other first goals. At no time did he think otherwise.” DeAngelo was put on waivers Sunday after "a minor altercation" with teammate Alexandar Georgiev.

Rangers’ Artemi Penarin the apparent victim of a Putin supporter’s hit piece.  Bizarre story.  NYR behind Panarin.

1. Panarin’s been outspoken against Putin.
2. Panarin’s former coach (a strong Putin supporter) claims Panarin beat an 18 year old woman almost 10 years ago.
3. Word has it that it’s a phony hit piece (intimidation tactic) by Putin supporters. 
4. Panarin (fearing for his family’s safety back in Russia) is taking a leave of absence.
5. Panarin vehemently denies the story-Rangers backing him up.

Counter argument: Buchnevich kicked out at the goalie, Wilson exacted retribution to once again have to defend a goalie from a Rangers player, then Panarin jumped into a melee with an experienced fighter who has 6 inches and 50 lbs on him and came badly unstuck.

I don't necessarily buy all of that argument - if Buchnevich kicked out I'm not convinced it was intentional, and the punch on the ice was a cheap shot, but the squealing about Panarin getting "bodyslammed" when it happens in almost every single fight on the ice ever is pure "waaaaaaah Tom Wilson".

I don't see anyone on the Rangers roster who would beat him in a fight if they decide to goon in the next matchup, and if he isn't suspended by then. If it was a different name on the back no one would give a excrement though.

Mate, that's a terrible analogy. A better one would be me being sick of MB picking on Puck at every tailgate and deciding to start throwing hands; it might be laudable for me to stick up for Puck, but MB's still going to beat the tar out of me by virtue of a basic height, weight and strength advantage, and it will be at least in part my own damn fault even if he was being an poopchute.

This is my point. Panarin engages Wilson. That is undeniable. He was sticking up for his teammate who Wilson was shoving his face into the ice with one hand while rabbit punching him with the other. You want to ignore that part? Fine.

My issue is when Panarin engages him, he makes no effort to square him up, you know, fight him. He takes his skate, sticks it behind both Panarin’s skates, grabs his hair (cute) and jolts his entire body back until (thankfully) he hit his shoulder on the ice and not his bare head. That’s my problem with the play.

You also say wah wah everybody hates Wilson. He’s been suspended 7 times. 7. That’s not normal. Just because he’s a decent player, which I admit he is, doesn’t give him or us the right to shrug it off and laugh “oh that Tom Wilson, SC winner.” His past has to be taken into consideration because clearly that 7-game suspension for boarding Carlo (who isn’t even close to playing again) meant nothing to him. The posing in the penalty box just shows how remorseless and how much of a sociopath he is. I guess when Vontaze Burfict takes someone’s head off, we should just ignore the fact he’s got a record of doing it or excuse because he’s a decent LB.

I know the Rangers don’t have the horses to bring to a brawl, but I hope to God they do something. And, I’m an Islanders fan. I don’t like the Rangers, I have no reason to just stick up for them.

I didn’t even bother reading the tweet, so theres no influence on my end, I just posted the replay. There’s nothing legal or moral about what he does. To excuse it because “Panarin engages him first” is an absolute joke.

Once Logan Stanley wipes what's left of Chabot off his jersey....we could lend him to the Rangers to deal with Wilson properly.

I don't know why you keep on with this whole idea that Logan Stanley is tough. He's big and he can hit, but he couldn't handle Josh Brown in a fight and Brown's a big hoo-ha.

Helmets come off in fights all the time. Players go over in fights all the time. Again, maybe next time don't go into a fight with someone who has such a massive advantage in size and ability. Panarin got ragdolled
because he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Here though, don't just take my word for it:

^ Frankly, what a horseshit take.

https://twitter.com/worldhockeyrpt/status/1389589718749179905

Looking at this I don't see Wilson in a fight.  I see a habitual POS goon driving a guy's head onto the ice before slugging him in the back of his helmetless noggin for good measure.  Guy's a freakling goon, period.

Memo to Panarin: next time do the 'smart thing' ..sniff..sniff... and consider the size disadvantage in play here - your abused teammate's predicament at the hands of the goon be damned.

The first comment below says it all - this was an infamous fight in which the "softcat" NYRs were (rightfully) excoriated for letting a hair-pulling goon goon-it-up against a skilled non-fighter

This is my point. Panarin engages Wilson. That is undeniable. He was sticking up for his teammate who Wilson was shoving his face into the ice with one hand while rabbit punching him with the other. You want to ignore that part? Fine.

My issue is when Panarin engages him, he makes no effort to square him up, you know, fight him. He takes his skate, sticks it behind both Panarin’s skates, grabs his hair (cute) and jolts his entire body back until (thankfully) he hit his shoulder on the ice and not his bare head. That’s my problem with the play.

You also say wah wah everybody hates Wilson. He’s been suspended 7 times. 7. That’s not normal. Just because he’s a decent player, which I admit he is, doesn’t give him or us the right to shrug it off and laugh “oh that Tom Wilson, SC winner.” His past has to be taken into consideration because clearly that 7-game suspension for boarding Carlo (who isn’t even close to playing again) meant nothing to him. The posing in the penalty box just shows how remorseless and how much of a sociopath he is. I guess when Vontaze Burfict takes someone’s head off, we should just ignore the fact he’s got a record of doing it or excuse because he’s a decent LB.

I know the Rangers don’t have the horses to bring to a brawl, but I hope to God they do something. And, I’m an Islanders fan. I don’t like the Rangers, I have no reason to just stick up for them.

I have a far bigger problem with boarding and headhunting than what happened last night, and clearly so does the league.

Even with Reddit and Twitter going full CSI on the frame by frame it's far from clear that Wilson holds Panarin by the hair, especially given his right hand is clearly shoving Panarin in the face, and at no point have I excused anything as "Panarin engages him first". There are two incidents here:

- Wilson punchs Buchnevich while he's down, I presume ostensibly in defense of his goalie. Wilson has rightly been fined for this.

- Panarian amongst others jumps into the ensuing melee. I have given Panarin credit for this, I respect a player willing to stand up for his teammates. However, he finds himself engaged with a guy who on every level is a superior combatant. His helmet is knocked off in the scrum, he is overpowered quickly, and unfortunately in the wrestling match goes down badly as a result of being unable to match his opponent in any way. The league does not view this as being deserving of additional discipline, presumably because they (like me) view this as being no different to the kind of thing that happens every few games, and equally correctly view that you need to punish the offense, not the injury or the nameplate.

I fully admit to being a fan of Wilson's. I love tough and skilled players who play on the edge. I don't think I've ever thought that any of his suspensions were unfair or unreasonable, and I wish he'd keep the headshots and dangerous hits on unsuspecting players out of his game. Last night was not any of those things.

There’s really no point in discussing this with you. You’ve made your mind up already. To support your fact with saying the league feels the same is a joke because the league almost never does the right thing.

Fight Panarin. Beat the pee out of him. Take your gloves off. Don’t slew foot the guy with your skate and grab his hair (which he clearly does) and violently pull him down.

Can’t wait until Wilson gets suspended 3 games again for concussing another player. Yet, the league, Union and people like you defend this crap.

Oh yeah, he’s just a hard nosed player. I happen to like hard nosed players and I respect ones that even play for teams I don’t like. I don’t respect this.

He's not really though, he's mostly just tall. Compare him to a lot of players of comparable height - Jamie Oleksiak, Andy Sutton, John Scott - and he's giving up 20-40 lbs. I wouldn't want to get between him and the boards but he's not a wrecking ball.

I agree with this. If the Rangers had a Matt Carkner on their roster, there would be absolutely no need for all 170lbs of Panarin to do brave but stupid things. There is still a place for enforcers, IMO - look at the impact Chris Neil had in the 2017 playoff series vs the Rangers. They just need to be able to play as well.

The league has changed too much. You don’t see stay-at-home defensemen or bona fide enforcers any more because the league eliminated clutch-and-grab tactics and you have to be a fast skater to play in the league, period.

Wilson was first-round talent. He has first-round talent sometimes. You keep ignoring the fact he’s been suspended 7 times. To me, that has to be taken into consideration. Has to. He just boarded Carlo only 2 months ago.

Like I said, if hd squared up and fought Panarin with his fists, Id have no problem with that. It’s not a fair fight but if Panarin engages, then he’s fair game. But to do…that? If the Rangers had an enforcer type (and Kreider, Trouba and Lindgren are all hurt) like they’ve had in the past (Nilan, Barnaby, Domi, even Hollweg) then that gives Wilson something to think about and I doubt he’s flexing in the box.

https://www.espn.com/nhl/insider/insider/story/_/id/33565845/nhl-trade-grades-new-york-rangers-land-andrew-copp-winnipeg-jets

New York beat out several suitors to acquire Andrew Copp and a 2023 sixth-round draft pick from the Winnipeg Jets, the return on which is somewhat convoluted.

The Jets will receive forward Morgan Barron, two conditional second-round picks and a 2023 fifth-round pick. The first conditional pick is New York's own and becomes a first-round choice if the Rangers make the Eastern Conference finals and Copp plays in at least 50% of the games in both preceding rounds. The other second-round choice will either be St. Louis' pick in 2022 or New York's pick in 2023.

How about Andrew Copp?

He's had points in all 5 games since being traded from the #NHLJets to the New York Rangers.

2 goals, 5 assists total.

Assisted on OT winner Sunday. Scored the OT winner tonight.

Pretty good, I'd say.

That's about as textbook a hit as you'll see - shoulder to the chest to separate man from puck. I'd like to see a rule brought in that the League automatically reviews all fights instigated as a result of a hit and if the check is deemed to be clean, the instigator receives an automatic game ban.

That couldn't happen quick enough for me and yeah he caught the guy with a great hit.


This isn't a homer thing either, if a Rangers player has his head down and gets clobbered, here's an idea, keep your head up or applaud the other player for the hit.

"That's awesome" is a pov that's either valid or not depending on one's viewpoint.  Prefacing it with the negative article "nah" is another story altogether.  First off it imposes a conclusion which has not been earned and while that admittedly reads as 'small potato semantics' on my part (wink) the Canes' restrictive ticket policy is just that: small potatoes.

Further, the site of the game(s) in question is over 500 hundred miles from New York City, a huge proximity advantage for these incestuous incels that you choose to champion.  Additionally, you are rewarding an undeserving fanbase, a fanbase that carries with them the potential to withholding full support for their local charges - just imagine that in say, Toronto.  Moreover, that you aggressively support excluding (banishing) hockey fans on a conditional basis should give any fair-minded person pause and in doing so you give clear, distinct witness to an off-putting provincialism and along with it ironically, an elitist mindset.  I doubt you'd carry such an exclusionary, restrictive mindset into the voting rights arena.  Rethink your position; you're better than this....ah, I think I know the real source of your vexation.....wink..smirk......

As great as it was seeing goal after goal fill the Canes' net, I really got a kick out of watching the large number of Rangers fans in PNC Arena in spite of the discriminatory edict levied against the would be ticket-purchasing public who didn't live locally (i.e. NYR diehards)....and to think that this unfair and prejudicial distinction between different categories of people was championed by no less than the Don Quixote and Sancho Panza ringleaders of JetOffensive, Johnny English & Badger: the new 'kings of kancel kulture' - tru dat.   : )

Conference finals: NYR's edge in goal goes out the window in the next round vs. the well-rested Stanley Cup champs' Andrei Vasilevskiy.   Prediction: TB in 6.  : (

I think the Avs crush them in 6.  The only advantage i see the Bolts having is in net.

But when you have a defender playing with the essence of Bobby Orr & Paul Coffey every night....i think it might be enough to stop the 3-peat from happening.

While there's no accounting for personal taste I certainly won't argue the 'nicest jersey' assessment.  Blackhawks 'white' jerseys however 'busy' are kinda slick imho (notwithstanding the inevitable group having a problem with it.)  I agree that NYR alternate jerseys (e.e. the statue of liberty version) are unnecessary, i.e. not broke no need to fix.  Historical: in the 1970's, John Ferguson was GM and he stupidly turned them into the Winnipeg Jets for a short period...z-z-z-z-city.  Everyone hated them; he was fired, they were burned.

Hellebuyck is great but Ullmark is pretty much dominating the field in all categories that matter. The only caveat (and it's a big one) is that Hellebuyck is facing a lot more shots, which suggests he's getting a lot less help from his skaters than Ullmark.

Mixed feelings….Kane brings to mind the Brad Aldrich coverup by the Blackhawks (and Notre Dame) and that guys such as Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews et al denied knowledge of it at the time…

Yeah, I get this. As a player he's a great rental for a team with a legitimate shot at the Cup, but it would be hard to cheer for him with his history (and it's not just the sexual abuse cover up, he has a lot more history than that of being a shitty person).

And this I get as well.  Kane’s failures as a person go far beyond his unconscionable silence regarding Aldridge…a nasty, misogynistic, bigoted drunk whose track record would make Ben Rothlisberger blush.

Speaking of which I find the ‘SENS’ moniker to be the coolest name in Canadian sports and
the “Go SENS Go!” chant is easily the most spine-tingling of war cries; goosebumps!!

I don't really know or understand much about rap music so I don't know if that is considered any good or not, but I'm very sure it would be better without a) the Bontempi backing track or b) the grade 6 choir chanting the chorus. I feel like maybe we've missed an opportunity to chant S-E-N-S SENS SENS SENS though. I might have to get drunk and try starting it next time I go.

Although the fear is that it might lead to a return of this abomination, and no one needs that.

Move to within two points of Garden State however NJ hosts the NYR Thursday and look to have an easier schedule as well.

Rangers fans do not get to whine about opponents running their goalie while Kreider is still on their team.

My point, as you well know, is that you don't get to complain about Hischier "losing an edge" and hitting Shesterkin when Kreider has made a career of "losing an edge" and colliding with Price, Anderson, Fleury, Fasth etc......

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw some Rangers fans complaining about the hit. That is literally the Chris Kreider special. Nico shouldn't be hitting the goaltender, but playoff hockey is playoff hockey.

Kreider clipped Price after the Habs tripped him

As for Igor, when AR gets his legs taken out I’ll remind myself that it was accidental and that boys will be boys
