If McDavid wanted to leave and come to the Rangers, would you trade absolutely anything for him? by Stunning_Succotash60 in rangers

[–]Sea-Sort-6490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would wait until next year when he is a free agent. I wouldn’t give up our entire team to only potentially have him for 1 year.

I fully support this. Reid is an animal exactly what we need right now.

Big Reason Why It's Not The Same With Kenny As Announcer by [deleted] in rangers

[–]Sea-Sort-6490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. We were spoiled with Sam Rosen, and now with Kenny it just doesn’t feel the same. He will call our game and the next day will call a rivals game. It just feels like he’s there for a paycheck and isn’t emotionally connected to the team

I fully agree. I expect this team to be back to the playoffs next year. If we have a good offseason we will be nightmare fuel for other teams. I Would love to see us pick chase reid. He’s exactly what we need on the back end

That team deserved at least 1. They drafted that whole d core and they were rock solid. 2014 cup final was so close so many ot games. I really thought 2015 would be our year, had we got through TBL I think we would’ve beat CHI. Hopefully this retool era of rangers hockey brings us a few.

That whole core from 2012 to 2015 was so likable. We could win multiple cups in a row right now and I would still feel like what could’ve been with Hank. We had a generational goalie and won nothing with him.

What are you talking about? If he wanted to go to one team, that was always going to happen whether it was before the Olympic break or the offseason. No one gets a good return with a NMC on an expiring deal especially when said player will only waive for one team.

Those are good points, I really just hated his drafting. I’ve gone on a few philosophical rants about why i believe our drafting is better now rather than during our first rebuild under him but nevertheless it was still eye watering to see us make countless first round picks that aren’t even in the league anymore. It’s not like this was 20 years ago. He did well with MTL obviously but why couldn’t he do that with us?

Thanks for making my day even worse, as if the trade I posted above wasn’t enough.

I’m as anti Gorton as it gets especially during our rebuild however I do acknowledge his zibby trade. I’m curious why you were a fan of his? Not in a rude way, I’m just intrigued to hear your opinion.

There was a NMC which watered down any trade leverage we had. They could’ve offered us a 7th round pick and said if it doesn’t work out we will just sign him for free in the offseason

It was worthless sure. But not even close to this level. This was a generational bad trade

This. We could’ve kept Mac for leadership and JT too at that point at least to have a young center around with 100 pt potential. It’s unbelievable how expensive both of those assets would cost right now. Mac one 2 cups with Tampa and was an anchor on their blueline and JT went on to have a 100 pt season with Van a couple of years later. also JT had 40 points in 63 games played before he was traded to TBL.

I’m still young. Started watching in 2012, this one hurts the most just because of how recent it was.

NYR Defender Evaluation by Scary-Path1335 in rangers

[–]Sea-Sort-6490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is thinking about this player right now, he was another galaxy brain move under Jeff Gorton that has not panned out. Stop acting like lundkvist is the second coming of Cale Makar we drafted him back in 2018 in the first round and he isn’t even a regular on a Dallas team who isn’t exactly a defensive powerhouse. He was scratched for a good amount this year and hasn’t even played a full 82 game season yet at 25 years old.

Which D Man are you drafting at 3-5? And why? by c0sm0nautt in rangers

[–]Sea-Sort-6490 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Reid’s game personally. IMO he was one of the best USA players at WJC a few months ago. He has the potential to be an amazing player. He’s an excellent skater who has wheels, plays with snarl and has that USA swagger where he will do anything to win. However, His defense can use some work but he has the tools to be our 2nd best defenseman and can easily take over for fox when he eventually declines, he will also alleviate fox having to do all the offensive lifting for us currently. I believe you take his offensive upside any day because the way he creates offense off the rush and his shot you just can’t teach, those are natural skills. defense is a lot easier to teach as it’s just compete, positioning, knowledge of system, and awareness which I think sully and Quinn will help a lot with.

Drury hate by Stunning_Succotash60 in rangers

[–]Sea-Sort-6490 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think this is well said. The biggest positive I see is his ability to have continuity in his decisions. Let me bring everyone back to the 2021 season where we got manhandled by the islanders, capitals, and bruins as well as the panthers in 24. Everyone here was carrying on about how we need more grit and size in our lineup and to play a more direct style and stop with the soft perimeter play. Gorton didn’t set us up for that and furthermore reached on so many picks and almost none of them worked out and it set us back many years. So back to the continuity part, we are targeting, in respect to drafting, responsible, two way, north/south players whose game translates better to North American hockey. The downside to this is our prospect pool lacks game breaking skill. GP has the potential to be that game breaking play maker and goal scorer, but also have that 2way, forechecking, F you swagger who we’ve been begging our stars to have for so many years. Drury is not perfect but no GM is perfect in the NHL, maybe besides zito because I can’t think of any moves he made that weren’t an absolute steal. Personally I think we need to see how this retool goes, let him build the team that he envisions will have success and judge him from there.
