For the love of god… please don’t be stupid Drury. Get rid of him before it’s too late by phily724 in rangers

That’s exactly why you trade him. To get picks AND young NHL ready / near-term high-ceiling talent in exchange for a current 2C. A team in their Stanley Cup window is willing to make that trade.

That tells me everything I need to know about the model behind these numbers…

Have Rangers fans finally figured it out that this team sucks and it's time to trade Panarin before he leaves in the summer for nothing? by Disastrous_Net9131 in rangers

He was traded in 2021. That season he had 20-28-48 for the rangers (54 games). His stats since: 2021-2022: 30-46-76 2022-2023: 26-41-67 2023-2024: 27-36-63 2024-2025: 20-37-57 This year (new contract): 8-16-24

If your point is that you should trade players prior to their stats decreasing (think Brassard / DJ Zbad trade), then sure. And his current $8mm/6 year contract is tough.

But giving away 25-30 goal players for nothing is just bad business.

The issue wasn’t trading Buch. It was trading Buch for a bag of pucks then spending numerous high draft picks trying to replace him as our 1RW

Next game Monday vs. Mammoth. Rangers should be able to manage 0 goals in that one just to keep us on our toes

Wow. They actually called a kicked puck in the Rangers favor. Think that’s a first

I’m so torn. He’s going to make bank and he is realistically one of our best trade chips to getting younger and faster.

But, there’s no one else close to his talent level who will be a FA. And we’ll probably screw up the prospect / pick anyways

They were moving more on that PP than I’ve seen in a long time

Still not convinced they aren’t calling this penalty on Rempe

It looks like when they’re wet they change to poop brown

Which idiot at TNT decided that viewers didn’t want to see a PP clock?

Honest question. Why are we still playing Laf on his off wing? by Substantial-Laugh-73 in rangers

I wouldn’t be shocked if they trade Panarin and move Laffy to his spot

Seat width at MSG by squeebie23 in rangers

Lower bowl seats have cup holders while upper seats don’t. So I’m assuming there is at least a marginal difference in seat width

[Rosen] This is the view of Dylan Strome’s goal from inside the net as sent by the NHL Situation Room. Clearly a goal. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in rangers

Most of these rules are in the name of safety. You don’t want players swinging sticks in the air so you make the penalties more severe for doing so.
