BlockedTJ, stop making a fool of yourself.
I said Greentree is who I wanted and that’s a good pickup. Only getting a 3rd on top is a disgrace. Like others have said, releasing the letter, scratching him etc diminished the return. Same way he got nothing for Kakko Kreider and Trouba bc he made it known he wanted them gone regardless, kinda hard to negotiate when you show your hand.
Your problem is what YOU think a player should get back isn’t what is actually the truth. You do it all the time. And then you go on and on about it for years how they should’ve gotten this or that. Trouba sucked. Kreider was old. Together they managed to lead them out of two playoff series wins, snatching losses from the hands of victory. Throw Goodrow in that mix too. To a lesser extent Panarin. It all makes sense. It was a flawed team that he didn’t even build, now he’s dismantled it. Florida series open Drurys eyes, mine and apparently no one else’s
Imagine he got hurt and got nothing for him. Why do you think he was scratched?Unbelievable 🤣
You.
Are.
Impossible.
To.
Please.and I got news for you, letter or no letter, it was fairly obvious Panarin was getting traded. It wasn’t a secret which is what I guess you guys thought would happen. Again he did a player a solid (after last year), by trading him pre freeze where he can adapt to LA find a place, meet the people around the team, etc. Maybe he got some much needed brownie pts with these divas, and maybe it hurt the return a little bit..but he had no leverage. And imo hes lucky to get what he did if it was that limited (leverage). He didn’t sign him to that contract, so the clauses didn’t help obviously

ParticipantIt’s funny that JT Miller last year only wanted the Rangers but yet Drury had to give up a first rd pick when he knew damn well this team was not playoff worthy. We sure could have used a Braeden Cootes or Carter Bear in our cupboard at pick 12 instead of frittering it away for JT..Drury had ALL the leverage but included the first rounder anyway. Giroux a UFA only wanted Florida yet what was the price? A first rd and 3rd and Owen Tippet? Yet when Panarin has the leverage ( which Drury didn’t help things by telling the whole league he would not be signing here) it’s Greentree and a 3 rd with half retention by the way. So yeah color me unimpressed with how all this went down.

ParticipantYou guys are the kings of picking and choosing 🤣
Imagine for one second that we didn’t trade Buchnevich, and signed him to the deal the blues did..and he had 11 goals right now. Would that be going over well? I mean we tear Zib apart and it was the exact same thing, post contract hasn’t aged very well. And Blais tore is knee up, Drury obviously didn’t plan on that. He wasn’t the same after that. He barley got a real look until that happen anyway. Again Buch was overrated imo too, and he wast treated like an all star at the time of the trade. He was a decent player nothing spectacular
I’m with you, they could fire the scouting guys for all I care. But also, most of the picks Drury has made are at least incomplete. Need time to evaluate that. Othmann hasn’t looked great is fair. But Laba was Drury pick in rd 5 I think? Maybe 4th. He’s been a solid contributor.
I’m just saying you guys jump all over everything with him, selling is different than buying. Give him a freakin chance. So far so good imo. Soucy trade was a wash and Greentree is a first rder for a guy who picked where he wanted to go.
Its not so much that he traded Buch, he traded a guy coming off a near point per game season for nothing. Thats the problem.
You gotta figure other teams were calling, but Drury was fixated on Blais. Lets look at that small sample size before the injury, 19 games, Blais was a bottom 6 player averaging 13 minutes a game. They traded a RW1 playing over 18 min a game, for a bottom 6 depth player who played LW of all positions. At a time when we had Panarin, Kreider and had just drafted LAF. Still to this day, since that trade, theyre trying to find a RW1.

ParticipantAec….This place in a nut shell
Kakko and Buch who we never shut up about no longer having
Combined: 19 goals in 95 games
Zibanejad, who we collectively loathe is still on the team
23 goals in 55 games
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its convenient to pick and choose your numbers when it comes to Buch. How about looking at the entire body of work since being traded? 114 goals, 296 points in 348 games for STL.
Sammy Blais since being traded from STL. 17 total points.
Kakko I dont care, I knew he wouldnt be any better than he was in NY. I was as vocal as anyone to get rid of Kakko and to stop obsessing that he was the 2nd overall pick, werent gonna get that kind of value.
But dude, with everything in my heart, if they do this all the way… they need to fire Ortmeyer and Glass. At the very least, if they do that, it would show me that atleast they recognize that the player development department is a problem.

ParticipantGonna try to be as calm as possible. You guys are ridiculous as always. Maybe Rick has it fairly.
If anything he’s making up for bad PR, with the players, by doing Panarin a solid this time. Sending him to where he wanted to go, obviously no one believes this because it’s convenient not to believe it. I mean for two years you’ve killed the guy for the bad PR, this time he does the player a favor, and you still aren’t happy 🤣 you’re impossible to please
He gets the guy one guy here droooooools over every single day, in Greentree. What was a greentree? A friggin first rd pick!! And he still cant live with the return. The other piece is a guaranteed 3rd rder, potentially a second rder (series win). All for a guy who forced his way to a single team. It’s almost Houdini act that he got what he did, or genius like you could say .
For the love god most of you need to root for a new team. You’re the disgrace to this org, like 90% of this fanbase. Or suck it up because he isn’t going anywhere. If you had some god damn patience, and let him cook and watch him build a different team, you’ll be apologizing to me and him in time
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆Why do we have to settle for whatever Drury does because he runs the organization?
I like that we got Greentree, I dont like the add-ons. I think the way this was all handled, something was left on the table. Sure Panarin has a NMC and controls the situation, but if you dont make this a spectacle by announcing it, and then putting Bread in the press box maybe he could have done better than a 3rd round pick as a kicker.
My opinion is if he doesnt send the letter, keeps it in house, calls the GMs of the teams Panarin would agree to go to and said I want this done in 72 hrs it could have been better.
So Drury now wants to play peacekeeper with the players by making Panarin happy? Why?
tj, we get it, in your eyes, Drury can do no wrong as long as hes the GM of the NY Rangers because you will happily deal with whatever he does because you have no control over it. If he had gotten a turd on a stick for Panarin, youd sit here and legitimize how a turd on a stick is fair value for Panarin. Then close out your post with your usual saying… deal with it, Drury isnt getting fired.

ParticipantIs your issue now that it didn’t happen sooner or it could have been a better return
My issue is…
1. Save the letter for after the deadline. Dont announce to the world your plans. Do what you gotta do, and address it later.
2. Announcing that Panarin is available for trade, allowing it to marinade for like 3 weeks. Again, if he had just shut his mouth and handled business in house and got it done right away, the return probably would have been better. -
