Can’t comment on the new article because it’s not a forum or whatever that issue is
I think it will eventually show up on the forum.
If Drury goes and trades a 1st round pick for Kiefer Sherwood (after he could have been got for free 2 years ago, which I was praying they would but these dumbasses didnt), I will be livid.
I’m not disagreeing with you that we should not trade a first round pick (or anything) for kiefer Sherwood. But i am gonna go ahead and suggest that there’s no way you knew he’d be more than a fringe roster player.
A fringe player? No, did I think he would be a solid bottom 6, 3rd line addition? Absolutely! His last year with NSH was 10g 27pts, 234 hits playing only 12 minutes a game. Those are exactly the kids of guys we needed on this team at the time. Gritty guys who provide secondary scoring.

People saying we should trade JT Miller seems odd and would be an incredibly bad look on the Rangers… To trade for him the year before, make him Captain, then trade him, would kill… I mean absolutely kill the look of the NYR and we would have an incredibly hard time signing free agents. Panerin and Zib are absolute possibilities… Trotchek and Miller, I highly doubt…
Miller I highly doubt will get traded, however… Trouba was captain for… 2 years? If you can even call it that, since he basically spent most of 2024 defending himself, using his NMC to block any trades, taking crap in the summer until it ultimately came to a head and he was gone. So to say it would be odd for Miller to be moved, yes it would, under different circumstances… however, its not beyond what Drury would do. Miller and Trocheck are a couple of Sully’s USA guys so I think that should protect them as well.
Continuing on that thought, the way the Rangers handled Trouba and especially Goodrow already marred the way other players look at this organization. This is actually the biggest reason why I want Drury gone.
Panarin and Drury I think have a rocky relationship after Drury ripped him a few years ago after the ECFs. Drury doesnt strike me as a guy who mends fences.
I still dont see the need to resign him. Trade him and say thanks we had a good run but you arent that player we needed. This team isnt going anywhere with him so why bother resigning him? Let the retool begin, who will take Miller or Mika?? Those contracts will be tough to move even with their approval. Its going to be a dismal 4 years in Rangerland if we cant get these contracts off the books. Our pipeline is practically bear. So many first rd busts is a disaster.
They really should trade Panarin and promote Gabe to full time duty. Its ridiculous what theyre doing to the kid.
Get rid of Fox. I’ve said it for years. He’s to small, overrated, always hurt. Get what you can and move on.
Ok, saying Fox is always hurt is a bit of a stretch. Prior to this year hes played atleast 72 games in 4 straight seasons. Missing a couple games here and there isnt a big deal. However, I still wonder if that knee on knee injury that he played through ever fully healed… and whether or not hes only made it worse without taking proper care of it. It always seems like we talk about Fox before it and after it, and how he seems to have lost a step. As far as trading him goes, would I? If there was a crazy offer on the table. Despite the sputtering offense, hes still near a PPG.
They really have no choice but to re-sign Panarin
Rangers could afford both guys. Idk why you think they couldn’t. They have an almost an endless amount of cap space with not much out there to spend it on.
See, youre as much of the problem with why this team wont be able to get over the hump. Constantly enabling this retool of a flawed team instead of just letting it go and rebuilding the right way. We had a nice little run for a couple of years, but its over. This team aint it.
Why do we have no choice but to resign Panarin? Because hes our main scoring threat? Boo hoo. This isnt a cup winning team and it wont be until they get a group of players that play for each other, instead of just showing up to work.
Y’all giving up already is typical 🤦 this isn’t an attempt to ruin y’all’s pity party either, carry on, but…
If they can finally make a statement at home and win a bunch there, it’ll be big because they have 8 more home games to road games the rest of the way.
What they need is get and stay healthy. They really haven’t had a full and healthy lineup at all this season. Trocheck was hurt, then Fox and now Miller.
As far as Drury goes, going into this season priority number 1 was to get better defensively and they’ve clearly done that. Manly because of Sullivan and Gavrikov. That’s two positive checks for GMCD. The scoring has taken a hit but seems to be getting a little better as the year is going along and is it his fault these guys can finish? Obviously yes (sarcasm dripping)
If we’re looking ahead to next season I would trade pretty much anything for Jason Robertson, and re-sign Panarin. Stars could be a in a pickle there being to afford him. It will cost one of Perrault laf or Cuylle, Schneider or Morrow and a first but Robertson is a game breaker/wrecker they lack so you have to do that imo. They’re in pretty good shape with the d corp where they should put all the efforts into improving the goal scoring
My two cents. I’ll go crawl back under my positive thinking rock now 🤣
Normally playing at home is a good thing, unless you’re the Rangers.
If Dallas decides to trade Robo, we likely wont be the highest bidder. We also cant afford to have both Robo and Panarin. Also like was said, Im not paying 11m to a 35 year old.
Panarin for a 1st 2nd and prospect
Trocheck for a 1st 3rd and prospect (look at the Nelson deal from last year)
Soucy for a 3rd
Carrick for a 2nd or 3rd (seems crazy but I really don’t think it is)
Brodzinski for a 5th
Get whoever else u can to waive. Load up on draft picks, tank the season and hope we land in the top 5. This is a deep draft, having 4 1st in a draft like this would be huge for the future of this organization.
That would be a pipedream. I know, dont need to say it again, but they should try to move Mika too. Maybe if they do this firesale, it might get him to waive. Id trade JT Miller and LAF too. Laba to be 1C after the deadline between Cuylle and Perreault!

It depends on what management views this team as. If they think this team can win, which is laughable, then they arent selling off.
…and I think history to this point has shown that they will continue to buy, and continue to build around a flawed team. It would genuinely shock me if we had more than one 1st round pick after the deadline.
The problem with Mika is ….. Mika. I doubt he waives to go anywhere. Would be nice though to move on from him.
Thats the thing, around the same time last year when he was interviewed, he said he wouldnt rule it out if the situation was right. The Wild are a good situation. They just got Hughes, theyre obviously in win now mode and theyre playing very well. On top of that theres a few of his Swede buddies on the Wild, plus Zucc. I think the problem is less about Zib and more about what Drury wants for him vs what Guerin is willing to give up.
I really hope Guerin watched last nights game and thought to himself, hmm maybe he can still play, maybe with a change of scenery, maybe uniting him with his team Sweden mates will fire him up.

I really hate this site.
This site really tries your patience. The buzz is up and running but there isnt anyone there.
I know it works, but the layout and discussion thing is idiotic.
