Every loss now is like a win imo. Just have to hope these guys don’t get hurt before they get traded
In the east alone I meant to say. You want to be mediocre and do what exactly? They can’t compete with the buffalos, Detroit’s, even the islanders now, devils, the list goes on. Those teams had to suck for a few years for them to be good…now it’s the rangers turn. I’ve accepted it, yea it hurts. But it needs to happen. We are going to have draft picks galore now, enjoy it
Dude they sucked. You even said a zillion times that they sucked. A bubble team I think. I agree with you they sucked. It’s just formally announced thay they suck
Man I’ll give you guys credit for persistence but you guys are out to lunch. Ten or so teams in the last two years have surpassed them as far being better.
The aging out thing..
They still need some veterans with all these young guys coming up. And are we sure Miller was the problem in Vancouver? It seems like EP40 was and still is a problem (is in rumors). They didn’t have a captain or anyone worthy of being a captain so they traded for one. It was more about getting leadership in the room. Rangers and Drury could trade for Messier in his prime and you guys would be pissed because you’re impossible to please
I’m stubborn because I see why he’s doing. I may not agree with everything he does, but I’m willing to see it through, you’re just too stubborn and unforgiving to actually let him cook. You truly think we would be contenders if our left everything alone and it’s silly because that didn’t work for two years and then the window closed
And I’ve been called worse things than stupid
Why he is doing it??? Tj, he ran this team into the ground, as your brother would say, Presidents trophy winner to last in the league in 2 seasons. Thats insane!! You dont run a team like that. He is an idiot.
If they get a top 4 pick, an extra one this year (with the current two) and another first next year..that’s a great start to a rebuild without even doing one. And maybe Drury will have better picks than Gorton did with the first letter. Just have to be patient and forget the past because he isn’t going anywhere. It’s just the reality of the situation
Truly what set everything back was Laf and Kakko not becoming all stars. That was what those teams needed and hoped for (the contending teams we had). It’s really no one’s fault other than the players themselves. I do think both aren’t fast enough for today’s NHL where the best young players all skate like the wind now
To that point, that’s probably what Drury sees worst of all. Is how slow this team is. It needs speed to compete.

You can’t reason with stupid. There’s fire Drury chants nightly at the Garden and TJ is the only person I know that still defends him. And TJ, I’m not calling you stupid, you’re just being stubborn.
It’s probably somewhat calculated for Drury to get worse. If you look at these east teams, 3-4-5 of them have really turned the corner and gotten really good. You guys refuse to see it not realizing how much we would suck even with the all guys they let go. It wouldn’t make little to no difference if they stood pat. They got slow and old really fast and the window closed. You guys need to open your eyes
So in response to a team somewhat aging out, you go and trade what could have been a top 10 draft pick for a 32 year old center with a hefty contract, a NMC, a history of not being a great locker room guy and make him captain? Then apparently the reason Miller even wanted to come to the Rangers is because he and Trocheck are buddies. Now Trocheck is most likely going to be traded.
Then go and trade a 2nd round pick for a 34 yo winger coming off consecutive down years.
Now I like Gavrikov, hes a solid defenseman, but if the point youre making is the team aging out why would you go and sign Gavrikov? Gavrikov is only a year younger than Trouba and is getting 1m less than him. Basically got net 0 on signing Gavrikov. Then the story goes that he and Panarin are friends and Panarin facilitated his signing in NY. Now Drury has made it very clear that Panarin is gone from the Rangers.
Make it make sense.
