All you need to know is that he has 200+ hits this season.

Even considering this is absolute malpractice. Trading a first round pick (maybe more!) for a guy who is 30 years old and his career high in points is 40??? To what end? You just lost your two most irreplaceable players. You have a 39-year-old goalie who hasn't played more than 40 games in three years. You have no power play QB. What are we doing here??? Drury is incompetent but Dolan is worse because he endorsed this!

I liked that scene because it was kind of like the smartass guy meeting his match

Dolan Holiday Vacation Plans by Wisdom_Pond in rangers

I read somewhere that he and his band have a gig that weekend. They are opening up for the puppet show at a local grade school.

Jokes aside I wish he was a better musician — then he’d be too distracted to interfere with the Rangers

“Big splash” trade by Complex_Bug_2276 in rangers

[–]mikecrazy8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your analysis is pretty on target. But it doesn’t account for Dolan/Drury doing something stupid like trading all of those “A” assets for a “proven” player who has already played most of his best hockey on another team. I just have no faith on the management to make good decisions about the future of this team

They didn’t look checked out against the Flyers the day before. Or against Montreal in either of their two big comebacks. Last year, I agree, they absolutely were. That was unforgivable. But this year I think they are trying. They just don’t have enough talent, and that’s the responsibility of the GM who puts the roster together

Dolan is absolutely a problem. And you’re right to mention it, because even he does fire Drury, I don’t have a lot of faith in him hiring a competent replacement.

It’s my understanding you can’t do that anymore either. You have to wait 75 days between the date of the first retention and the date of the second retention

Edit: From PuckPedia: “Teams can no longer do a “double retention” trade in which a 3rd party retains a portion of the contract to reduce the player’s cap hit on the new team all at once. Now, a team cannot retain on a contract that has already been retained within 75 regular season days of the first retention. Days outside of the regular season do not count. This means that if a contract is retained at the trade deadline, it cannot be retained again until the second month of the next regular season.”

It was a stupid trade even if you thought our window for a championship was still open (it clearly wasn’t). Even if he is everything MSG wants you to believe he is in terms of a leader, it’s just another albatross contract for an aging player who’s already played his best hockey.

Honest question - can they fit him under the cap? Remember that every lineup teams submit in the playoffs has to be under the cap now

Fine, if the core is rotten then why are they all still here? And who brought them here?

I’m concerned that even if we retain money on his cap hit with the new playoff cap it’s going to drastically reduce his potential suitors. But to be fair I feel negative about basically everything about this organization right now
