It's funny, I watched every game throughout this period of time but to me it was like he just vanished. I was surprised to see he played for NYR for 4 seasons. PS. That team with Shannahan, Drury, Gomez, and Jagr was a great team. To lose to Buffalo that fucking year still haunts me.

[brooks] Rangers Will Check on Kevin Hayes in Free Agency
ThirtyONE replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
This is exactly my point. He's not going to accept a 2-3 year deal, and therefore he's not a good option for us because we have 5 NHL centers already. Adding Hayes is purely an addition for next season and not beyond. We are building for beyond. I'll sign Kakko and Kravstov to 7 year deals when they're 26/27 assuming that they will be more than 50 point players. -
rumor/report: Tanner Glass Joining Rangers' Front Office
ThirtyONE replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
Let's be clear. He wasn't good at hockey. Luckily that doesn't have much to do with this job appointment. -
Can someone remind me what the hell happened to that dude? How did he go from a 30 goal rookie season to out of the league by 28?

[brooks] Rangers Will Check on Kevin Hayes in Free Agency

If Kevin Hayes wanted a 2-3 year deal, I'd consider it. But I'd imagine he's looking for 7 years. It just can't happen. -

Sounds like he's one of those guys JD was looking to hire. A coach that follows the Rangers draftee from draft day until he comes to US to wear a Ranger sweater. I think it's a great hire. Thoughts and Prayers to AV in Philly though... :( -
NHL Mock Draft: Beat Writers Project 2019 1st Round
ThirtyONE replied to Blue Heaven's topic in In The System
Whether or not the Rangers move up or down, there will be good players available in 20 range. Almost seems like you can't go wrong. -

That's great. Good for him. -
[brooks] Rangers Will Check on Kevin Hayes in Free Agency
ThirtyONE replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
But what is this supposed to mean? That Chytil won't get better over the next few years? Or are you only concerned about next season? I assume Hayes is looking for 5+ years which makes the latter seem awfully short sighted. -
article: A Few Good Vets: Options for the 2019-20 Hartford Wolf Pack
ThirtyONE replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
I've been waiting for someone to do a little research on this topic haha. I'll be very very curious to see who they bring in. it's a hugely important moment for the franchise. -
I'm into that. I'd love to not throw Kakko onto the top line and expect amazing things next season. Play him down the lineup with limited minutes and let him ease into the NHL if possible.

[brooks] Rangers Will Check on Kevin Hayes in Free Agency

Is 50 point Kevin Hayes really the missing piece to the Stanley Cup puzzle? He hasn't been. As you said, he's a $7m third liner in 2 years. I sincerely hope the Rangers are not that short sighted. We shouldn't be moving young players into unnatural positions to accommodate Kevin Hayes -- who was relegated to the 4th line on a good team. -

Zib, Strome, Chytil, Howden, Anderson. Why do we need a 6th center? -
What is he even talking about? Nobody sits out while under contract.

Staal is infinitely more useful than Smith or Shattenkirk. ... I finally got a chance to read the article in full and it seems like Gorton was pretty straight forward about current roster players getting traded this summer. Something to the effect of "we have guys around the league that are pretty valuable" when talking about how much cap space there is ATM. To me that means Namestnikov, Vesey, Kreider, and maybe Fast are available. That's more of a list or warm bodies rather than hockey players, but I think if they can trim a few million here and there, the buyouts won't be as painful if/when they happen. What I see happening is they try to make some deals at the draft. If that falls through, they go into free agency with a plan. Depending on how that shakes out, they'll use the second buyout period to cut the dead weight before camp opens.

No thank you. Makes no sense to me. We have 5 centers looking for icetime. Potentially 6. And that's without Hayes in the mix. It's a fix for a short term problem.
