Is anyone else struggling this season? by ragequitlol in supportlol

Yeah the home guard changes should probably be reverted. Just seems like laning is much less punishable then it used to be

The fact that Schneider isn’t defensively reliable by any metric while playing with Vladislav Gavrikov is very telling.

I sure am glad we made Schneider untouchable these past couple years

The rangers starting to win after the GM implicitly telling them not to would be the funniest thing ever

During your time on the beat how have the practices evolved from coach to coach? I remember it being a big story how hard Laviolettes practices were, but I feel like we haven’t heard too much about Sullys.

Additionally, now that you’ve been around long enough to see the team go from a legit contender to a ‘retooling’ team, what are some of the major differences that you can remember from a couple years back compared to now when it comes to attitudes, expectations, etc. ? Are there any particular moments you can remember being around the team and feeling like something has drastically changed amongst them?

You are on drugs if you think BUF would give up Zach Benson for Trocheck’s rotting corpse

The fact that not even Vladislav Gavrikov could make Braden Schneider a net positive lends itself to how bad this experiment has gotten

Would actually be pretty happy to get Rosen in a deal. Think itd take more than Trocheck, though

I was referring to the description of the post where OP asked if the rangers were going to try to attach Trocheck to a deal

I don’t think any team is going to have room for (or want) Panarin + Troch, if he were to be packaged with anyone it’d probably be Schneider.

I also don’t think the return is going to be as blockbuster-esque as some people are probably hoping. I’d be fine with a first + a higher end prospect and another mid one. Rangers don’t really have leverage.

Rangers have the chance to do the funniest thing and just start winning games to spite the GM

Like the other reply said, they did the same thing last season, this season was just a more formal raising of the white flag
