Drew a Penalty

No. It just means that his AHL salary is equivalent to his NHL salary. One-way or two-way contracts have nothing to do with waivers.

Wischusen is the best PBP that ESPN has by far. He should be on the main team, not McDonough.

If Rempe makes his debut on Sunday, he'll be doing it on the anniversary of his father's unexpected passing. Can't think of a better way to make dad proud. Rooting for the kid to make his debut on the big stage. https://theathletic.com/1909446/2020/09/08/prospect-matt-rempes-late-blooming-push-hes-on-this-exponential-curve/

Have a good time. There should still be some guys to look out for: Berard plays opposite Othmann and has been a near P/GP since the new year. 15 points in his last 16 games. He has plenty of speed and likes to shoot. Sykora isn't much of a producer, but he's always engaged and if his line with Blid and Henriksson remains intact, it should be the most consistent line you see. Scanlin is the only one worth paying attention to on defense. The Rangers just re-signed him and he could be in the running for a spot on the team next year given his waiver status.

I think I’ll be passing on this one. 2014 and 2018 were cold enough that I have zero desire to wear that many layers to a game. Hopefully it’ll be warmer for those of you attending.

I prefer pastels.

This is weak for you. You’re slacking.

Probably because they're reported to be shopping Jones and Robertson as Vince later writes in the article: And not your belief that Anaheim explicitly needs Jones as a PMD because you didn't know about Mintyukov and Zellweger.

I doubt it. He was signed to an $800k deal. Why would any team sign him when they otherwise could've claimed him? Is a team really going to sign him for $30k less? He's done. I don't think anyone wants him.

The Rangers have 1st round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026. They only have a 2nd round pick in 2024. They only have a 3rd round pick in 2026. They don't have the draft capital to get cutesy with conditionals. At most, they could probably have their 2nd in 2024 upgraded to a 2024 1st or 2025 1st.

You started by quoting me. If you don't want so much of my opinion, don't keep asking for it. Nice cute ending, though.

Except the trade wouldn't be Jones plus Sykora/Berard and some lower-value picks. Given the Monahan and Lindholm returns, do you seriously think Henrique plus Vatrano with an extra year is worth a package you've called scraps before in a separate context? There's going to at least be a first-round pick in this deal. That's another issue I take with it. This deal is going to cost more than Henrique and Vatrano are truly worth. I have no problem trading Berard or Sykora. I'm not trading them in addition to a first-round pick and whatever else for two players I don't think move the needle enough.

I don't think Henrique and/or Vatrano adequately enough address the Rangers' problems. That's my issue. And I don't believe you like either of them enough either. So what's the problem here?

And I'm far more likely to trust what Vince says over Staple. One is plugged in. The other is not.

Sykora is 5'11" and 192 at 19. He's not tiny and doesn't play that way. I don't make this particular trade. I don't think Henrique is worth the bidding war that's likely being had for his services and throwing Vatrano in only raises the cost of this trade. It's not just trading Berard or Sykora I have issue with, it's that you're also trading them along with whatever draft capital for two players who aren't worth that package. I'd pay more for a player or players who actually have longer-term impact. It's not that I wouldn't make any trade, but definitely not this trade. This team has an organization-wide speed problem. Sykora and Berard are likely on the team within the next year to year and a half. They're what the team has been missing. If I'm moving either it's in a deal that addresses their speed issue going forward as well. This deal ain't it.

Except they’re not “nothing else.” What a short-sighted comment.

Mintyukov has been there this season and is just injured. I’m pretty sure he’s what gave convinced them they’d be alright trading Drysdale. Zellweger is up and playing on their first pair now. I don’t think they need Jones that badly.

I’m not moving Berard or Sykora. Team speed is an issue that extends across the organization and I’m not trading the two fastest prospects on the team who are close to NHL graduation. I get there’s a price to winning, but this isn’t the deal that’s really worth it to the Rangers.

Zellweger is most definitely their offensive defenseman of future, and Mintyukov is there with him. Not sure they really have so much use for Jones.

Othmann's passing ability and just overall hockey intelligence are a bit underrated. I'm doubtful he'll ever be Miller and not more of a Saad, but the potential is in him thinking the game as highly as he does.
