If Drury traded Laf Panarin Trocheck and we added 3 prospects similar to Kasper Wright and Greentree plus a couple 1sts and some mid round picks, I’d be happy with that.
If he gets older roster players back bc he’s “retooling” instead of rebuilding, I’ll lose my mind.
That’s another huge issue I have with Drury. He’s f’ing horrific on his returns in all these trades. Not a single player in return on Kreider Trouba KK Goodrow that has helped improve our team. Borgen is a plug, and the Trouba/Kreider returns we got absolutely nothing for bc he announced to the league he hated them and wanted them gone. wtf did u think the return would be after the way he handled that????? MORON.
Problem with MINN is after the Hughes trade they’re kinda dry in prospects/picks. No 1st or 2nd this year, Stramel is a name but he’s a 4th year college guy that isn’t developing the way they hoped. The Trocheck trade has to be a home run, it’s why I’d eat 50% on the salary. Getting him for 2.8 for the next 3 1/2 years is the steal of the league. I want a top top return for him.
Although I’m sure if we get a 6th 7th and 11th round pick TJ will tell us drury’s hands were tied and there was nothing else he could’ve done and we need to trust him more. “It was about dumping salary” for the next 32 year old he wants to add to the team. Right TJ 👀
Panarin to LAK for Greentree and a 2nd
Laf to SEA for Wright
Trocheck 50% retained to DET for Danielson and a 1st
Soucy for a 3rd
Jbrod for a 5th/6th
Raddysh for a 6th
Carrick for a 2nd/3rd
TJ, u want to see my vision, you just refuse to admit you were wrong. I saw it all along with Laf, I know you loved him but he just didn’t have “it”. I blame a lot of that on the Rangers development. You don’t have 4 top 10 picks all be complete busts without the organization having something to do with it.
Lias, Krav, Kakko, Laf. They put these guys on the 3rd lines with limited ice time and they expect them to develop like other top 10 picks that are given top 6 roles with PP time.
Drury’s judgement on players in trades; and who he trades for/away is horrendous. He makes these trades and talks about he’s been wanting player X for a while and glad he finally got him. Parsenin, Brisson, Terrance, Blais, they all SUCK. What does he see in these guys that have made him want them for a long time?
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.
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.
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.
TJ man, how do you still defend this guy. This was his 5th year as GM. This team has almost ALL been signed by or traded by HIM. He created this mess we’re in; what gives you the confidence he’s the right guy to do this after seeing how HORRIBLE he’s been??? You’re better than this
Bill, why don’t all blogs have forums? Jan has posted 3 blogs but none of them have a forum so keeping up with current talk is kinda difficult and talking in the blogs waiting hours for comments to get approved isn’t the most affective. Can’t figure out how to DM on here so sorry for posting this in your blog.
Jan, Bill keeps saying use the forums bc the posts post instantly. But none of your last 3 blogs had a forum. I’ve been talking to myself there with aecliptic bc I had no idea u posted new blogs. I don’t even check the main page anymore, just the forums for a new blog. Why don’t all blogs get a forum?
