He might be. we'll see this season but he may not be a top pairing D. We'll see how the season pans out

just busting balls. i was constipated.

would you take the pieces on the right if Zucc was one of the pieces? asking for a friend

i think the goal should be to make the playoffs and get some experience. And i think serious chance at being a legit contender would be in 3-4 years. by that time Zibby and other vets will be past their prime or towards the end of it (best case scenario).

we had the same three "in their prime" last year and the year before. how far did we get? Our defense and overall defensive play isnt there yet. they'll compete to make the playoffs IMO, but not for the cup

nice tit grab by Daddy and im happy that Laf and Lindgren are a couple

what's with this tool Gaut that he constantly gets a spot on the opening roster?

so which is it--make the playoffs or compete for the cup? it's two very different things

you really not following what im saying at all

right, they're worth it now, im not disputing that. IMO the makeup of this team isnt ready to go all the way. Players like Miller, lundkvist, Lindgren(im not even sure what to think of him yet, im thinking playing top minutes is way over his head), Laf, Kakks, then Barron and Schneider all need NHL seasoning and playoff experience. History tells us that no team with half the roster of 20 year olds are going to the finals.

how long did it take Tampa to win? how about St Lsouis? Rebuilds dont take 3 years, players you drafted need to mature and get experience. this takes time.

you think we're ready to compete now? starting this season?

that's not long term thinking, it's the opposite. it's "right now" thinking. In the long term Zibby, Panarin, Kreider will be too old and not worth the cap hit

Not planning on winning the cup this season, i guess.

So you figured out MSG’s problem all on your own?

It only makes sense if we’re primed to compete for the cup in the next 3-4 years, which i dont think we are. I dont think we’re there yet. Giving these long term contracts to players “at the stage of their careers” shows to me that this organization has no long term plan.

Since when are you an engineer?

Duh

And Hamonic’s too

But giving Zibby 8 years at 29 is ok?

This game was not a pre-season game. It might’ve not counted in standings and our top players didn’t play but the islanders didnt come out taking it easy.

Dont like it.

We’re playing the Piles, i doubt we’ll score more than 2

Exactly. Not with this defense. This defense needs couple of years of seasoning and upgrades

All he has to do is just come out in the first to fight Wilson and then go back to the dressing room for the rest of the game. You know all Rangers fans are expecting Reeves to go after Wilson.
