Elliot Friedman on his 31 Thoughts is reporting . However, Ekman-Larsson also comes with the price tag of an $8.25MM cap hit over seven more years. For that reason, The Athletic accurately states that there is some substantial risk in acquiring the Swedish star. TSN’s Travis Yost also warns that most defensemen begin to decline after the age of 27 and Ekman-Larsson, 29, has already shown some signs of slipping. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/31-thoughts-matt-dumba-next-wild-trade-block/

Production has gone down very quickly in two years deafly not a metropolitan division type of player

Watching Ryan Reeves dominate Dallas when he plays should be enough to show that that is the type of player the Rangers need a physically imposing player

I would trade the #22 and TDA to try and move up. But yes with out knowing what the cap will be after next season you have to trade TDA to make room for the kids in the pipe line . Same with Strome. I would try hard to trade him.And I would sign both Kyle Clifford and Matt Martin or Patrick Moroon

This is why the Rangers need more muscle in there lineup.they get run during the playoffs by Carolina and they don?t retaliate. Meanwhile Las Vegas just hammers the living hell out of Vancouver and Ryan Reeves only gets a one game suspension but they continue through the playoffs. The Rangers should model themselves after Las Vegas golden nights. They should be big mean and skilled. Not Smurf type hockey

Ryan Reeves suspended one game for hit to the head by NHL

Update—-Kravtsov’s agent, who said that news was not accurate. The Rangers can still recall Kravtsov at any point and time.

SN 960 the Fan in The second intermission of the flames game yesterday were talking about it .

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will no longer take part in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, opts out of the NHL's return to play. Link:

A numbers of reports on TSN radio and on blogs are stating ?Rangers may not have the right mix. Too many Blueshirts are non-confrontational. They are easy to play against. This is not a problem during the regular season, but was a death sentence in the playoffs.?and that JD wants a ? ?Heavyweight ?and a team that initiated toughness

Milan Lucic is having a good playoff playing center and taking face-offs and winning at an 80% clip if he gets cut on a buyout I think the Rangers will really look at him about bringing him in Kyle Clifford is another one Matt Martin is a free agent and also Michael Haley

The Rangers definitely need more toughness and A heavy weight enforcer. With all these young kids that the Rangers are going to play next year you’re going to need someone to ride shotgun and answer the call
