If Fox, in his heart, love the Rangers as he does than he will see this through. Should the Rangers end up drafting Verhoeff, they have his replacement. Lets look at it hypothetically, specifically on defense. Lets say the Rangers draft Verhoeff, then they make a 1 for 1 hockey trade of Schneider for Lohrei. The defense shapes out…
Gavrikov/Fox – we already know these 2 have good chemistry, theyre solid together, complement each other very well.
Lohrei/Verhoeff – pair of the future, as the top 2 age, these 2 move up.
Robertson/Borgen – solid third pair.One pick and one tweak, and that D looks actually quite decent.
Outside of 13, 93, 94… the forward group is kind of a hot mess. I would consider selling high on Kartye if someone threw an offer at us.
The thing is, by trading Trocheck for more futures, theres really nothing Drury can do to retool this team properly without mortgaging the future. Which would be a wildly egregious error to not bank on this draft and the 2027 draft, which some say is supposed to be even better than 2026. Good thing we traded the 2027 2nd round pick to the Pens for Reilly Smith.
They could find themselves with three 1sts in this draft (we already have 2), or three 1sts in next years draft if they do things right. But drafting 5-6 first rounders in this and next years draft puts them like 3 years away. Timeline wise it does workout great because it will sync to when certain players’ contracts will be expiring. However this is not how things were advertised based on the letter. Which is concerning because I would much prefer that than whatever he is doing now. Just tell me were gonna suck for a couple years as we clean up the roster and rebuild through the draft. Atleast I know what to expect.
So true on that part also. So we move forward with the team we have minus Trocheck or are we going to hope Mika plays next year as he has and Miller finds his form? Those 2 will be the last remaining of the forward holdovers.
What happens with Fox? Will he be sticking around? No way we would be able to move Igor. Contract is way too much.

Gotta say… I kinda like the Cuylle, Trocheck, Sykora line.
Chmelar looks pretty good too, Ive said before he kinda reminds me of Julien Gauthier with his size and ability to use it to get to the net.
Trocheck is most likely a goner this summer.
What is the trade value of a soon to be 33yo 50 point guy?
Honestly, not much less, if still equal as it was at this deadline… and what I mean by equal is what other GMs were willing to give up, not the price that Drury was asking. So its still a 1st, maybe a mid-pick and a prospect. Hes still the same player, hes not injury prone, contract is still the same with excellent term. Nothing would have changed from the deadline to July.

Coner Sheary on PP2? Team is really flawed when you do that.
where have you been? It’s been like that since panarin was traded
With all these kids up and “playing for the future” I would have hoped he wouldnt be getting such important minutes especially in a game we are up in. My bad.

Exactly what I said about Kreids before the season. A move for the sake of making a move.
As for the unsuccessful tank, I feel good about the way Zib, Laffy, Gabe and Laba are playing. Id rather they grow and gain confidence than continue to wallow.
At the end the day, I try to remember that when we won the lottery for Laf, we won our last game of the season and changed for percentages, but still hit!!I would argue the tank has been going quite well since Miller returned to the lineup.
You’re right there!
It’s rather incredible, really. JT doesn’t seem to be able to make a single successful play. Not a shot, a pass, a hit, a pinch, a chip, nothing. It seems every time he’s on the ice, we lose possession without a chance to show for the previous line’s efforts.
