Hello Gavin McKenna
Terrible to see Igor go down, I was listening to it on the radio, finally got home and havent seen a replay of it. If he is out 4-6 weeks, I cant see this team making it, maybe they rally around each other, who knows but we will soon see if Drury has a brain or if team makes a run, stay tuned!!
Y’all giving up already is typical 🤦 this isn’t an attempt to ruin y’all’s pity party either, carry on, but…
If they can finally make a statement at home and win a bunch there, it’ll be big because they have 8 more home games to road games the rest of the way.
What they need is get and stay healthy. They really haven’t had a full and healthy lineup at all this season. Trocheck was hurt, then Fox and now Miller.
As far as Drury goes, going into this season priority number 1 was to get better defensively and they’ve clearly done that. Manly because of Sullivan and Gavrikov. That’s two positive checks for GMCD. The scoring has taken a hit but seems to be getting a little better as the year is going along and is it his fault these guys can finish? Obviously yes (sarcasm dripping)
If we’re looking ahead to next season I would trade pretty much anything for Jason Robertson, and re-sign Panarin. Stars could be a in a pickle there being to afford him. It will cost one of Perrault laf or Cuylle, Schneider or Morrow and a first but Robertson is a game breaker/wrecker they lack so you have to do that imo. They’re in pretty good shape with the d corp where they should put all the efforts into improving the goal scoring
My two cents. I’ll go crawl back under my positive thinking rock now 🤣
Maybe the pendulum swings back in the other direction and they make a run at a playoff spot. That’s a maybe. But I think you’re being dishonest if you believe this team has the talent and heart to keep up with the top teams in the league. So we scrap our way into the playoffs and get knocked out. Then what? There’s no big UFAs left. The best thing for this franchise is to get as many draft picks and young players as possible because the cupboard is BARE. After perreault there is no forward prospect that sniffs a top 6 role and no defenseman that’s a difference maker. Theres a lot of good role players in the farm, but that’s it.
TJ, what’s best for the future success of this organization is to sell off and build for the future. Do I think drury will do that? No. I think he’ll do whatever he needs to to save his own skin regardless of what’s best for the franchise.
This is a deeeeep draft, and we have some pieces that could get us multiple 1st and 2nd round picks going into it. To waste picks adding, stay status quo and see what happens or lose a guy like Panarin for nothing (I’m strongly against signing a 35 year old for 10 million+) only hurts us down the road. This isn’t a win now team, and it’s certainly not a playoff team.
I’m over the Drury debate, it’s no longer a debate, hes horrendous.
They aren’t rebuilding. I mean they signed a goalie to 12.5 million, they signed a dman for 7 year, they traded for a new captain and hired a win now guy as HC. Besides, they have 3 first rders the next two years. Obviously that’s been forgotten about lol because Genius Chris gets credit for nothing
If they fall out of it, what if they trade Panarin, and then re-signed him? We aren’t in a cap crunch by any means
Genius Chris has this team at 21st in the league and out of a playoff spot with more than half the season played. This team is what it is, a 500 team.

And you guys have absolutely no patience whatsoever. They had a massive makeover and it will take time to get back to where they were.
What are the hopes for Aspinall? That’s what they need more then anything, is a guy like Laba who they drafted can make noise as a goal scorer. All I know is this kid is putting up massive numbers this year
What the hell are you guys watching this year? They at the very least play for each other. They just cant score enough. Everything else is better this year. You guys are stuck in last year still. Get over it already my god
Let me guess, they really miss Buchnevichs 23 pts? 😂
They really have no choice but to re-sign Panarin
Rangers could afford both guys. Idk why you think they couldn’t. They have an almost an endless amount of cap space with not much out there to spend it on.
See, youre as much of the problem with why this team wont be able to get over the hump. Constantly enabling this retool of a flawed team instead of just letting it go and rebuilding the right way. We had a nice little run for a couple of years, but its over. This team aint it.
Why do we have no choice but to resign Panarin? Because hes our main scoring threat? Boo hoo. This isnt a cup winning team and it wont be until they get a group of players that play for each other, instead of just showing up to work.
