His # will be retired and hanging from the Garden rafters.... and it should be.

He will retire a Ranger and his number will be retired.....no doubt about it.

I'd go with Vesey for the reasons already mentioned.

Maybe we should just blow up this team. 3 of our top 6 are awful and should be moved. No way this team can make the playoffs as currently constructed

Just trying to get a gauge on what you call predatory. I think you can call any hit on purpose and predatory. The NHL could just ban checking. There are plenty of armature hockey leagues where you are not allowed to check someone off the puck.

Are hip checks predatory?

Stay away from the crease and you won't get hit! I miss the days of defensemen clearing the crease when the puck is there. Hell Billy Smith and Ron Hextall used to clear the crease themselves!

Guys who played in the '70's and '80's have to be laughing at this thread.

If winning a cup is the criteria, then we need to take a lot of numbers down! Best Rangers skater the past 20 years (a generation) probably finishes 2nd in all time goal scoring for the team. Trip to cup finals and trip to semi-finals. I think he is deserving.

Absolutely! Best Rangers forward since the Mess, Graves group. Probably ends up second on all time goals list for the team. Let's hope he gets a cup in the next two years to solidify it.

I still think this team is a boarder line playoff team. They may get the first or second WC spot, then who knows. Shesty gets hot and maybe we steal a round or two in the playoffs.

Zibby!

4 points....this is going to be a tough year. In the playoff hunt all season, but not sure we will make it in.

Remind me how many goals Kreider scored in this series vs Bread, Zibby, Kane? More than the 3 of them combined?

You mean the only star that actually performed in the playoffs and arguably the only one worth more than the money he makes....yea that's a good plan.

Yes....at best he is an average D-man. We probably can get the same production for less cost next year.

Yea but he's average at best. If we wants to sign for a discount, OK. Bread the same thing, for half the money, sure I'd keep him. Kane is done, and Trouba is OK for less money.

The Rangers are an old, slow team. Time for a rebuild. Panarin, Miller, Trouba, Kane all need to go before next season. Devils are younger, faster, and it looks like they have found a top notch goalie, it's their window the next few years.

Guy has has had one of the 10 best Ranger careers (time with the Rangers, for example better than Gretzky as a Ranger) over the past half century.

CK might be the most underappreciated Ranger of the last 40 years.

So true.....turn the puck over a lot at the blue line - we lose in 5. Learn how to play north/south, get the puck deep and keep it there - we can win this series.

Do we have a chance to win against them, sure. But NJ is younger, faster, more physical and more motivated. I can see us losing in 6. To win Shesty will need to steal a couple of games.

Agree 100%. Kreider is one of the most underappreciated Rangers over the last 50 years. He is a cup away from having his number retired.

I think Miller is gone before any of the Kid line. Schneider can easily play up on the second pair.

I think what we are seeing is Lindgren is possibly the most important part of this team. Would be interesting to see what our record has been the last few years with him out of the lineup. He is by far the best defensive defensemen we have.
