Well there are the ramifications of Schneider and Koorpisalo overpay.. Anthony Mantha who is better player than Bjorkstrand by the way.. just signed with the Devils 2 yr 9.5 m.
Gee it’s not like the Rangers can’t use scoring the guy had 33 goals and 31 assists on an upstart Penguins team.
Maybe give the 30 goal scorer a contract who was just sitting out there..
Nope need to pay Koorpisalo 4m and Bjorkstrand 4.5 and Schneider 5.5 m off his worst season of his career.How many goals does Mantha get against us this year? Last year he was a Ranger killer every game!
Drury consistently overpays for guys when he should be zeroing in on guys that could actually help the team, a 30 goal scorer woukd have done that ( even if he doesn’t hit 30 he’s probably closer to 25 goals which we would all take.
Well it’s good to see the guys coming over from HB.. Was wondering what was going on.. I guess a fellow Rangers poster and his actions shook up the board?
I’ve been away a few months so not aware what happened ?..couple of personal events kept me away..As for Drury.. ughh it’s like i mentioned, you hear the Rangers make a trade or signing and it’s like a horror movie opening, your body freezes and you wince in anticipation of sheer terror:)
I’m pretty sure Quentin Dolan taking the reins from his Dad is not going to change in the hierarchy of the Rangers, except for who Drury now reports to.
As for the Carlsson offer sheet: I think the Ducks will match..but holy crap that’s a huge cap #.
I think you hit this spot on.. NYR 9479.. I’m not a fan of Drury by any stretch of the imagination and it’s moves like this is the reason why..
All we heard from people on this board when I went berserk ( rightfully so :)when Panarin got dealt for not enough in my opinion ( Greentree ok) but no first rounder ..all the speculation was when Drury trades Trocheck he will get a haul with first rd picks coming back said the hockey insiders..Friedman, Kaplan , etc. all said Trocheck had term which meant his value was sky high.. then you see the trade and it’s like ehh ok Durzi is for sure better than had anyone we had on the second pairing and Cole Boudoin is a nice get although not even a top 3 prospect in their organization.. ( especially when he profiles as bottom 6 forward) .
Here in lies the problem with Drury he gives away first rd picks like candy. He never seems to have a plan ..I mean it’s like he’s never negotiated anything in his life.. So you mean to tell me we gave up a 4th rd pick for a goalie who was garbage last year in Koorpisalo,then he trades a 2030 first rd pick for a again a slight upgrade ( who had his worst year of his career ) I know it was with Vancouver but in what world does acquiring Marcus Petterson require a first rd pick as compensation? So we had to give up a first rd pick I guess a 3rd pick in say 2029 wouldn’t do it?Yet we trade cornerstone players like Kreider and Panarin and fetch a 3rd pick ? Then Trocheck who has 3 years left on his contract and is a top C available only gets a 3rd round pick back along with a decent defenseman and potentially good prospect back.Our GM just doesn’t care about draft capital and these moves while different aren’t necessarily making the team better.. You don’t remove Trocheck from your lineup not replace him and get better? Yes we have improved on the defensive side but our forward depth is awful and the fact that we gave up 3 first rd picks this offseason is a lot to stomach. God help us if we stink in 2 years which is a distinct possibility with no first rd picks at present time for 2028 and 2030.Per Mollie:
Good Lord..#26 #92 and a Conditional first rd pick in 2028 ( yuck)
Don’t like that last part..Othmann for Jacob Battaglia LW/C 43 pts in 58 for Windsor
64th pick in 24 draft. Have a strange feeling this won’t speed up the “ retool” but hey who knows? 🙂Right? Please find me a Drury apologist.. lol
Our retool consisted of acquiring Greentree and 2 3rd’s one 4 and a 6 and Aiden Thompson
Look out now! Drury calling this a retool is like calling a woman half pregnant..:)
What a crap show.. Even Jan was ripping him for the Carrick deal ..
It’s unreal how bad things are here. Our top 3 centers will be at least 34 in 2 years..
Yet we are retooling ..
Everyone said Drury needs to hit it out of the park in Trocheck deal.
He never even made it to the ballpark.He is incredibly incompetent!
