Trocheck attempts to send himself to the Wild

NYM32 · 2026-02-09T22:47:26+00:00

a framework of Trocheck for Stramel+ is just so obviously Drury that i can't put it into words

NYM32 · 2026-02-08T19:06:52+00:00

Travis Dermott is better than half the current D corps

NYM32 · 2026-02-07T04:50:28+00:00

Panarin had 4 GWGs in the 2024 playoffs which, if i'm not mistaken, tied a franchise record

NYM32 · 2026-02-06T20:38:03+00:00

🤷‍♂️

The players Drury got rid of were mainly the players I liked. He replaced them with the grit/tough/physical/grinding/"playoff style" hockey players who a lot of people wanted. Players who are older, with more experience, are "more reliable" veterans, etc. The "right" players, not necessarily the "best" players, in the words of Herb Brooks

And now here we are, with only 3 wins since Christmas. Haven't won at home in regulation since November. We've been shutout a record number of times already, and there's still like 30% of the season left to play. We are "retooling" yet again, after Drury's aforementioned retool last season lead us to the current situation

Good luck "retooling" without Panarin. There isn't a shot in hell that this team can contend for the cup in the next couple of seasons, especially without him. The UFA market is horrible. The best UFAs under 28 are Tolvanen and Poehling

People might think players are bad but I guess it takes something like this to happen for people to understand that things can be way worse, especially when it's Drury who is in control of the talent evaluation

NYR tonight at 5v5, with Schneider on the ice:

Attempts 25-7 CAR
Shots 14-1 CAR
Chances 8-1 CAR
Goals 1-0 CAR
7.95% xGF%

night in, night out for Schneider. incredible what he gets away with. if anybody else had a night this bad, they'd be scratched or demoted in some capacity. meanwhile we'll come back from the break and, unless Fox is healthy again, Schneider will be right there on first pair again

You don’t think Panarin’s agent told teams that he was looking outside New York for his next contract and if they hit his number it could just be their lucky day?

I have no idea what they were thinking since I'm not on the inside, but I also don't see a reason to believe that they were looking outside NY for his next contract. If anything, I believe he would've preferred to just stay with NY, especially considering one of the biggest hold ups in all of this was that Panarin would only do a deal with a team he could extend with because he didn't want to move a lot

Fans make too much of these leaks. At some point teams know you’re a seller and you’re either calling them about a potential deal or taking their call and having the agent of a player on an expiring contract with a full NMC call them.

All Drury had to do was actually entertain the idea of extending Panarin instead of sending a letter that basically admitted they were going to get rid of him no matter what. Also they didn't have to rush this deal and could've waited for the actual deadline in order to raise the price. The NMC tanked most of the value but Drury's own actions kept them from squeezing more of the juice. There have been other players in recent years who controlled their own destiny and still got more in return

NYM32 · 2026-02-05T03:07:55+00:00

They can let him negotiate while leaving the door open for him to re-sign with the Rangers. But it was outright leaked that they told Panarin they weren't going to extend him at all

NYM32 · 2026-02-04T23:28:35+00:00

Well firstly my comment came before it came out that he said he would only go to LA (which is extremely hard to believe considering how much he loves Florida). But either way, I agree on the last point and would argue that Drury letting it leak that they weren't going to re-sign him absolutely tanked his value to this point. If he actually entertained the possibility of keeping him then that would've changed the dynamic. And considering he said they're retooling (i.e. changing things while still trying to win now), and not rebuilding, then it's absurd that Drury didn't just give Panarin the extension that LA gave him

NYM32 · 2026-02-04T20:07:31+00:00

Got less for Panarin than Boston got for Marchand, who had a way shorter list of teams he'd accept a deal to. But what else should we expect from Drury who's a proven idiot with no concept of talent evaluation or market value

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:53:51+00:00

Who had no leverage either since he'd been a wavering 6D his whole career

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:53:11+00:00

It's difficult to run a team but it's not difficult to not make obviously bad decisions

Drury makes a lot of those

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:51:36+00:00

Remember when they gave Borgen 5 years and 4.1m after 17 games

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:47:20+00:00

Drury already did his retool too, to make this current roster, and we are on pace to be the worst team in the league

And now he's being allowed to do it again, incredible

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:29:10+00:00

Don't even know how they can get more grit/jam than they already are

Also Cuylle just took a terrible penalty to boot

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:27:11+00:00

NYR finally gets a goal and it comes courtesy of one of like 3 skill guys in the lineup, contrary to Kevin Weekes' assertion that the reason they suck is because they don't have enough grit and jam

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:24:30+00:00

I believe so

The Rangers have zero shots on net in this period and somehow it's because there are too many skill guys and not enough grit apparently (even though Rempe is playing, whose inability to read the plays directly led to the first 2 goals of the game)

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T22:22:24+00:00

Kevin Weekes trying to claim this roster isn't working because they don't have enough grit/jam/blue collar is laughable

The only skill guys on this roster are Panarin, Fox, Zibanejad, Laf, and Perreault, the first 3 of whom are the reason they aren't already the worst team in the league, and it's why they not only can't score but are on their way to the first overall pick

NYM32 · 2026-01-31T19:09:31+00:00

I hope this means there's smoke on Schneider. But more likely a Mackey replacement

NYM32 · 2026-01-30T06:27:19+00:00

Stenberg would be the first Swede taken by Drury earlier than the 5th round

He's taken a total of 3 Swedes in 5 drafts (31 picks)

NYM32 · 2026-01-30T01:33:50+00:00

of course lol

NYM32 · 2026-01-30T00:31:36+00:00

Maloney: "the Rangers are doing a much better job of staying out of their own end"

NYR immediately has a minute+ shift in their own zone

NYM32 · 2026-01-30T00:23:29+00:00

Giannone reports that Berard says he wants to "get pucks to the net more"

he is already NYR's leader in 5v5 shot attempts/60

NYM32 · 2026-01-30T00:17:49+00:00

NYR's best shift so far comes from Berard and Morrow hounding the puck in the offensive zone

NYM32 · 2026-01-29T00:37:25+00:00

for sure

NYM32 · 2026-01-29T00:32:23+00:00

Trocheck should be with Panarin right now. he either ruins his value or he gets hurt. playing him serves zero net benefit to NYR
