He has to play defense which is why he wasn’t playing. But now it’s pointless to keep him down there. They should call up Sykora and Terrance too. Just to see what they are
And aec not every team has lost most of their best players all season. Once Shesty went down it sapped whatever will they had, and subsequent love letter to us
This team with Miller wearing the C will not win a cup, that much seems quite clear.
All teams suffer injuries, they battle through it.
I wouldnt trade Othmann either.
Finally something we agree on TJ, keeping Othmann. But rumor has it, Drury is looking to move him. He was what he offered for Sherwood, (Othmann and a 2nd) for another 30+ year old player. I would’ve been livid if VAN accepted that/durry did that.
Othmann too is slowly getting better they just need to keep him here and play him a regular shift. Instead of back n forth to Hartford but at least that seems to be the case now
And it’s obviously Drurys fault that their best players has missed time this year
Miller missed 9 games
Trocheck missed 14 games
Fox missed 21 and is still out
Shesty has missed what 8 now? And he’s the backbone without him they’re screwed. Martin leaves beachball size rebounds and Quick is old afCuylle has had a bad season and Laf to a certain degree. These are the guys the need to produce.
The kids that have been good are Laba, Morrow and Perrault is getting better. Gavrikov was great until Fox got hurt and Schneider, who’s been awful, played with him. Those are Drurys players.
Idk if anyone pays attn to the OHL kids, but Nathan Aspinall has been a monster this year so maybe he develops into something. Drury drafted him too. He’s made the effort to get bigger and stronger up front with the draft picks
Those teams weren’t good enough. Because they were slow and getting older. It’s just been exasperated now two years later. He went for it and it didn’t pan out. It’s as simple as that. Rather then band aid it he’s tearing it mostly down which he should. You guys just can’t deal with losing seasons. This is best for the org right now which is the ironic part no one can see. It started last year and needs to continue. Next season they cap space and hopefully a top 3 pick they can deploy.
They just named Miller captain so why name him captain if you’re going to trade him? Him and Mika do have something they just need more help. Mika has been great this year so you keep him and Miller and move forward. What they need most of all is a terrible season where they get a top 3 pick, which is happening. Just embrace the tank. I mean if Tom were here he’d be drilling into our heads
News for you guys, if they stil had Trouba Goodrow and Kreider we’d stil suck lol idk what you guys think would be so much better. They’re slow and old and injury prone
What can I tell ya🤷🏻♂️ he knew they weren’t good enough two years ago and he started the retool then (Goodrow, Trouba, Kreider, etc) We all said as much on a post to post basis lol those teams were flawed, that Gorton built. PP specialists. The PP and goaltending hid the warts of those teams, yoi all knew that. I even fought you guys saying nope they’re good enough lol
Who drafted all those who failed here? It wasn’t him. He’s drafted the kinds of guys you whack off too ffs. Big burly men. You just have no patience to watch it be built his way.
They reallllly miss the 13 combined goals by Kakko and Buchnevich dont they? And if he made no moves back then we’re two years behind schedule at least now we’re two years ahead. Hes picked up draft picks and more coming. He signed Trocheck and is probably gonna get a kings ransom for him. If anything I give him credit for being proactive
Go root for the Sharks ffs. He isn’t getting fired, Dolan literally told you that on the radio
Drury traded the guys who werent the problem.
With Miller not accepting a trade, this team will be in the shitter, longer. Just what the Rangers need, a 33yo Center on his down years.
Hold on, ur jumping for joy that we got a 1st for Miller which will be about 5-10 picks higher than the 2nd we gave up just for someone to take Nemeth’s contract? PLUS another 2nd that we gave up???? That’s what ur excited about? You know, the contract DRURY signed him to the year before?
Or what about the 2nd he gave up for Reilly F’ing Smith??? You can’t be this blinded TJ.
Reaching for the bottom of the barrel there. He just got a first for Miller
I don’t believe you that if we resigned the current Buchnevich to what he just got that you wouldn’t go on and on about it on a daily basis. Buch sucks newsflash, get over it. My god your grudges are ridiculous. And I can guarantee youre gonna have your cake now because the pick cupboard will be stocked
Also hows Cole Caufield doing? 🤣
Buchnevich is having a down year after 4 straight seasons of 20+ goals and a 30 goal season mixed in there playing on the lowest scoring team in the league (121 GF). Plays well defensively also.
The problem wasn’t trading Buchnevich, it was the return. He valued Blais WAY too much.
Loaded with picks? All Drury has done is trade away picks. He signed Nemeth, then the following year gave Arizona (2) 2nd round picks to take his contract. One of those picks is this year and will likely be around 34/35 overall. Absolutely HORRIBLE asset management. He’s a horrendous GM.
All the players he’s reportedly “been wanting for a while” when he makes these trades, Parsennen, Brisson etc have all sucked. He’s terrible and you have no leg to stand on being that’s he’s been the GM 5 years and taken this team from President trophy winner and the ECF to a bottom feeder.
