TJ, my issue with you saying “they needed to do this and Drury knew last year” if true, would show even further how dumb drury is. Imagine the pick last year was top 10 and Drury decided to keep it, and now we might be giving up a top 3 pick instead? We got “lucky” we only gave up the 12th OA pick.
Those aren’t the types of moves a smart GM makes given the state of the team last year and knowing his intention was to continue to tear it down. He loses on trades a lot more than he wins.
A lot of Drurys decisions were cap related. And a lot of the problems stemmed from the Covid year. The cap stagnant really messed them up. It’s not an excuse it’s just fact. I don’t think Drury handled that well, to be fair to the haters. But he was under alot of pressure. Panarin 11 million really put them in a corner and snowballed into a mess pretty much
I just think now it’s different set of circumstances where the can be a lot less aggressive and spend more wisely. Dolan is a bigger problem than Drury imo. And there is nothing we can do about that, but I think Dolan has understood to back off some. Kind of like he did with the Knicks
I’m not trying to fight. I just want talk rangers and how to get better. They needed to do this as hard as it is to watch, last year included
I think what they should do with Laf, once they trade Panarin, is move him to LW permanently. It’s his natural side. Trading him for essentially peanuts is not the way to go. They need to try something to unlock him. He has flashes but it’s so inconsistent. Stating the obvious but this could be affecting his development. Hot word in these parts
And side note, losses are better than wins. Going 0-30 is perfect
Well, trading LAF for Wright is probably the only right trade to make as things are currently. Especially if they move on from Trocheck. Other than that, I wouldnt bother moving LAF. Hes at his absolute lowest value wise and he has another year left on his contract thats unprotected.
Trocheck half retained is optimal, as NYR has said. It will not kill them at all on the cap. They have more than enough space and very little options to spend it on. I do puck pedia everyday and I can’t spend it nearly to the max. Like ever
Look at teams like Minnesota, Detroit, Avs
-Drury, Girard and a 1st
-Stramel, maybe Middleton or Brodin and a first
-Kasper, maybe axel-pellika? Spelling, and a first
For trocheck (50%)
And I’m not being a doosh at all, but I think Drury is very likely to trade for Jack if they talk about either Trocheck or Panarin
McKinnon
Nelson
TrocheckIs lethal
I agree with keeping Laf unless it’s a deal like Laf for Wright. 2 guys with pedigree that need a change of scenery.
That’s why the Kakko trade infuriated me, scrub dman and nonsense pick. Would’ve been better off keeping him. Then the moron doubled down and signed him to that contract.

Has there been a situation where a top 5 pick who had to the point of the trade been a total disappointment, got traded and turned into a megastar?
