He has to play defense which is why he wasn’t playing. But now it’s pointless to keep him down there. They should call up Sykora and Terrance too. Just to see what they are

And aec not every team has lost most of their best players all season. Once Shesty went down it sapped whatever will they had, and subsequent love letter to us

[slimtj]

Othmann too is slowly getting better they just need to keep him here and play him a regular shift. Instead of back n forth to Hartford but at least that seems to be the case now

[slimtj]

And it’s obviously Drurys fault that their best players has missed time this year

Miller missed 9 games
Trocheck missed 14 games
Fox missed 21 and is still out
Shesty has missed what 8 now? And he’s the backbone without him they’re screwed. Martin leaves beachball size rebounds and Quick is old af

Cuylle has had a bad season and Laf to a certain degree. These are the guys the need to produce.

The kids that have been good are Laba, Morrow and Perrault is getting better. Gavrikov was great until Fox got hurt and Schneider, who’s been awful, played with him. Those are Drurys players.

Idk if anyone pays attn to the OHL kids, but Nathan Aspinall has been a monster this year so maybe he develops into something. Drury drafted him too. He’s made the effort to get bigger and stronger up front with the draft picks

[slimtj]

Those teams weren’t good enough. Because they were slow and getting older. It’s just been exasperated now two years later. He went for it and it didn’t pan out. It’s as simple as that. Rather then band aid it he’s tearing it mostly down which he should. You guys just can’t deal with losing seasons. This is best for the org right now which is the ironic part no one can see. It started last year and needs to continue. Next season they cap space and hopefully a top 3 pick they can deploy.

They just named Miller captain so why name him captain if you’re going to trade him? Him and Mika do have something they just need more help. Mika has been great this year so you keep him and Miller and move forward. What they need most of all is a terrible season where they get a top 3 pick, which is happening. Just embrace the tank. I mean if Tom were here he’d be drilling into our heads

News for you guys, if they stil had Trouba Goodrow and Kreider we’d stil suck lol idk what you guys think would be so much better. They’re slow and old and injury prone

[slimtj]

Reaching for the bottom of the barrel there. He just got a first for Miller

I don’t believe you that if we resigned the current Buchnevich to what he just got that you wouldn’t go on and on about it on a daily basis. Buch sucks newsflash, get over it. My god your grudges are ridiculous. And I can guarantee youre gonna have your cake now because the pick cupboard will be stocked

Also hows Cole Caufield doing? 🤣

[slimtj]

Like seriously, imagine Drury gave Buchnevich 8 years 8 million per right now? He’d be tarred and feathered for that. But he traded him so he’s the worst. You can’t make it up

He was smart enough to know that Buch wouldn’t be worth the next contract and instead signed Trocheck who has been far more valuable, cheaper, and will now get assets for him in a trade. Genius I tell ya. Genius!

[slimtj]

What can I tell ya🤷🏻‍♂️ he knew they weren’t good enough two years ago and he started the retool then (Goodrow, Trouba, Kreider, etc) We all said as much on a post to post basis lol those teams were flawed, that Gorton built. PP specialists. The PP and goaltending hid the warts of those teams, yoi all knew that. I even fought you guys saying nope they’re good enough lol

Who drafted all those who failed here? It wasn’t him. He’s drafted the kinds of guys you whack off too ffs. Big burly men. You just have no patience to watch it be built his way.

They reallllly miss the 13 combined goals by Kakko and Buchnevich dont they? And if he made no moves back then we’re two years behind schedule at least now we’re two years ahead. Hes picked up draft picks and more coming. He signed Trocheck and is probably gonna get a kings ransom for him. If anything I give him credit for being proactive

Go root for the Sharks ffs. He isn’t getting fired, Dolan literally told you that on the radio

[slimtj]

Stop being dumb Chris..

-Avs trade

Ross Colton
Jack Drury
27 first rder
3rd rder

For Panarin (50% maybe even 25% with a 3rd team) and Carrick

*Then you flip Colton at the 27 TDL as a rental

-Wild trade

Stramel (hopefully becomes a 2C)
Lambos (bottom pair-7th D)
1st rder (26 or 27)

For Trocheck and Soucy (50%)

Schneider to SJ for second rder

Draft McKenna or Stenburg (hopefully). Verhoeff or Lawrence consolation prizes
———
– Keep Miller and Mika, because? chemistry and they’re still good players. They probably won’t waive anyway

– offer sheet (enough where Vegas can’t match) Pavel Dorofeyev.
*That costs us a first and 3rd in ‘27

26-27 Rangers

Miller Mika Perrault
Dorofeyev Drury Laf
Cuylle Laba Othmann
Aspinall (sleeper) Colton Raddysh
Rempe/Edstrom

Gavrikov – Fox
Ferraro or Stanley (UFA) – Morrow
Robertson – Borgen
Lambos/Vaaks

Shesty
Nedjelkovic – (UFA)

On paper they have a 1st 3rd and 4th line. Second line is a mess with Trocheck and Panarin gone, so to me that’s the priority for Drury. The D corp is a lil weak but hopefully Emery and or Fortesque develop, and they have a bunch of other prospects on defense in the pipeline. Draft forwards this draft and see where they go. We might need to suck one more year before anything happens positively. Just have to remain patient as difficult as it is

[slimtj]

You heard it here first…He’s gonna trade for Jack Drury and really drive you guys crazy 🤣

Have faith men. Let the genius cook (I know I know). They are already in a good position salary cap wise. Where they can either take on bad contracts or retain on guys for added assets. They already have 3 first rders next two drafts with probably two more coming, once they trade Panarin and Trocheck.

The quicker we all realize that once that Florida series ended, that teams window had closed, and the better you will feel about the direction. Drury knew that and here we are. He isn’t going anywhere because Dolan knows this too, especially with the injuries this season, that isn’t happening. At least we’re two years ahead of this instead of waiting til now to start it (retool)
