Jonny Lazarus makes an argument for trading Schneider and Trocheck. I agree with Trocheck because of his age, nothing else. I love the guy but Schneider Id keep because of his age and position unless the offer is a for a promising center.
My one argument for trading Schneider is if we end up with pick 3 or 4 and draft Verhoeff or Reid, then I think Schneider can be used in a package with the Carolina pick to move up into the middle of the 1st round.
Morrow can potentially be packaged with the 2nd or some combination of 3rds to move up or get more top 50 picks.
This draft seems to be quite D heavy (and a lot of wingers which is less so of a pressing need for us unless its one of the top 2 picks), which we need to address. Next year is supposed to be incredibly center heavy, which we can address then.
He is so smart they’ll develop AND be good. Don’t let Brukie brainwash you. I mean he said Mika would suck, 75 pts later he still sucks. Ya know, that 3 yrs on a decline thing
You need to understand, I dont want them to be good. 2026 and 2027 drafts are supposed to be loaded. I want this team to suck for one more year and stock up on prospects over these 2 drafts.
Draft picks don’t hit enough tho. I mean Brukie said it. Has to be true. Wouldn’t you agree? His tongue is halfway up your colon so there must be some trust in him
Its true, but this draft on the surface looks pretty solid. Rangers have enough pieces where they can position themselves to potentially end up with three 1st round picks in the top 20.
Im ok rolling it back with the same squad next year and being trash again while the youth develops.
I see it’s still our regularly scheduled program.
Did you expect anything less?
Its ok, they cant beat a playoff team, nuff said.
As in the past, the PP carries them, nothing 5 v 5. They still suck 5 v 5 but its ok, we will continue the playoff drought for a few years.
As long as they commit to this rebuild/retool with the youth they have and ultimately will draft this year and next, Im ok with it.
meanwhile the rangers are beating Buffalo
For absolutely no reason either. All they’re doing is ruining their chances at a top 2 pick.
Jesus Christ guys
I try my hardest to keep this conversation hockey related.
Or gas prices past 4 bucks a gallon. Congrats Trumpsters
Not to play devil’s advocate, but where was the outrage when for 2 years inflation and gas prices were at record highs? Its been 2 months. You can pick and choose if you want, but that also makes you a hypocrite.
I wonder if Vally would make for a good GM.
it’s wild all these firings happen so late in the season. Roy was a stunner. I get the sense Darche just needed one reason to hire Deboer
After closing out the season like they have so far and being at risk of missing the playoffs, Darche definitely wanted to jump ahead of the coaching search and wasnt going to let DeBoer meet with anyone else in the offseason, nor was he going to close out the season going into that good night without fighting to make the playoffs. After making that trade for Schenn, he needed to do everything he could to make the playoffs otherwise it becomes a completely wasted trade.
So let me get this straight, you want him to do the same thing he did with Trouba, knowing how that worked out, just because he’s had one bad season? When we all know he’s been hurt this season since camp. Can we at least see if he has more bad seasons first?
Boeser would cost at most Morrow and second rder.
A player that a team doesnt want to trade, nor does a player want to leave from, typically costs more to get.
I’m looking at it this way, Boeser wouldn’t cost much going out. That’s a plus. He plays both wings so it wouldn’t necessarily block anyone. It would move Kartye down most likely
Listen none of my ideas are ever popular and I’m ok with it. I stick to my guns. I’d prefer Dorofeyev trust me, just seems unlikelier as the days go by
You guys all need to realize that miller and Trocheck arent going anywhere. They just aren’t. Especially Miller. The last thing Drury would do, after the Trouba fiasco, is trade off ANOTHER captain. And it’s crazy that you guys would sign off on that after the two years of bellyaching for him doing this exact same thing. This place never ceases to amaze me. He isn’t that bad, he was hurt all season. He’s actually been better since the Olympics
Hes a failed captain to this point. It wasnt until the kids showed up and 94-93-13 started clicking when Miller was out of the lineup and they went 5-1, that Miller jumped on the bandwagon. They’ve been successful despite him not because of him.
You think the Trouba fiasco is going to stop him from trading Miller? Thats funny.
Boeser also wont be cheap. Secondly, Boeser apparently loves the city of Vancouver and has no intentions of leaving, nor do the Nucks management plan to press him about it unlike some GM’s in this league.
I dont care that the best season of his career was playing with Miller, it was 3 years ago playing for a different team with a different coach.
Are you really going to use common sense with the stupid?
He took the short bus when he was in school, probably still working on his GED now.
On another note, I dont know whats better for the Rangers in the long term. If we end up at 3 or 4, do we draft Fox’s protection in Verhoeff or Reid? If not, are we better off trading back a couple picks for Malhotra or Lawrence and acquiring more trade assets? Need to get this draft lottery thing over with so we can have a better picture.
Before we go crazy about contracts, the cap space is plentiful. There really isn’t much to be concerned about. Unless someone like
Perrault blows up which obviously would be wonderful anyway. Meaning it’s not like we have a Dorofeyev/Jason Robertson problem loomingJust because we have cap space, doesnt mean we need to go out and fill it. My problem is we have prospects within the organization that could bloom, particularly Greentree. The last thing I want to do is block his ability to get in the line up with a 31 year old winger with a full NMC and 6 years left on his deal, who only once has scored more than 56 points. I dont care that the best season of his career was playing with Miller, it was 3 years ago playing for a different team with a different coach.
In 2 years, Miller’s contract becomes a 15 team no trade and we need to get out from under it ASAP.
I know no one wants to hear this, but Trocheck isn’t going anywhere. It’s clear that he’s a leader and with all the changes the last two years the last thing they need to do is trade more leaders. I think Drury finally sees that too. They look to be finally settled into a cohesive team again. Without the drama around. Just look at Shestys record and you can tell they have the pieces to be good next year, so trading centers isn’t the best idea. Since we don’t have anyone to replace him. They need two wingers to establish themselves and probably a LHD. That’s when they can be serious contenders again. Who they are will be the million dollar question
I’m sure Brukie will put cold water on all this but it what it is
Why does everything have to come at the cost of youth and draft picks though? Dorofeyev might be the only player in the off-season I would target because he can play on either wing, however, only at the right cost.
IMO… until they show consistent scoring together in a full season to be a 1st line, 94-93-13, are a good second line. We dont have another line that we can depend on.
Sykora, Laba, Chmelar they are solid together, good progress there, something to look forward to next season.
This is why you are such a fing moron. Aside from Perrault, what has the others done in the 8 minutes a game they have played? Aside from Perrault, these guys are bottom 6 players. Oh boy, the 28th place Rangers won a few games that mean nothing. Idiot.
Come on man, they may be bottom 6 players but I dont agree with this take. They may have found something there. Thats 3 less positions that the genius doesnt have to over pay to fill. A cohesive bottom six is very important to playoff teams. These kids are playing well, and theyre playing for each other, which I cant say has been the case for some of the rest of the team.
