    There's a reason we say he likes donuts and is out of shape. He probably got used to dominating juniors on low effort (off-the-ice effort to be in tip-top shape). The low effort carried over, but the dominating did not. It's disappointing to think he's essentially not changed his approach in either of the two summers he's had with the Rangers. If he whined about Gallant, and a new coach + a wake up call at the contract negotiation table doesn't trigger another level, then you get rid of him. My money is that he will be in significantly better shape come October.

     

    Well of course he's gonna say that. He knows no matter what he's still gonna play second & third fiddle to Ice Capades Panarin & CK20.  If he makes the slightest of errors, he's gonna ride the pine.

    You do realize at the time most pundits ragged on them for having an awful roster? And the trades they made to acquire Eichel, Stone, Chandler Stephenson, Theodore (drafted but also negotiated) and Hill were incredibly bold and/or shrewd moves at the time?

      

    Well I'm not "most pundants" and "most pundants" won't say anything like what fans say if they want to keep their cushy jobs. Ask NYR reporters about that.

    Pretty sure hes also played center. 

     

    Which maybe makes Chytil expendable in a trade. I said elsewhere, but Chytil and Lafrenière for Keller and a little something coming back may work.  

     

    Keller being able to play ever forward position gives options on what to do with the lineup if you are moving Chytil.

     

    Adding Keller to an already soft forward group,  doesn't change much, besides adding more skill.

     

    So, with that said, replace the lower tier, soft skill, with upper tier soft skill and it looks a little better. Chytils new contract makes him an attractive trade option (for the Rangers) if they are looking to upgrade in skill.

     

    I like both Chytil and Keller,  but it's more of the same. Need that gritty, shooter RW more than Keller IMO. If they were blowing it up? Shit yeah, I'd be all about Keller. 

     

    They really need to find a Zach Hyman type. Too bad he was a success with Edmonton. Really thought that was going to flop. 

     

     

     

     

    if they can get one of 'Zona's 4 3's (preferably a high 3), that might be enough....

    Trouba's no trade lasts through next season.  His wife just started her residency in a hospital in New York.  Why would he waive his NTC to leave his wife and go to the worst team in the league?  (Spare us snarky comments about leaving his wife).

    You don't think as soon as Trouba's deal becomes a M-NTC, the team won't ask for the the trade list??

    CK is on pace to score about 39 goals this year.  If he continues to score over 25 for the next few years, his contract will be a bargain.  Move on Kreider haters.

    If this franchise is smart (long pause) CK20 & Trouba for that matter will be gone by summer 2024.

    checked Twitter and I don’t see the video associated with this insta post- but that arena looks sick 

     

    ...and guess what?? They still won't draw. Just more cash in the trash. Can't wait for the next lockout because of teams like this.

    I'm so done with Trouba, at his price tag. He's a 5M guy. And now they can't trade him. 

     

    I think what we saw last night is more of a product of playing with 5D and switching partners causing disorganization. 

     

    Lindgren is going to be a cap casualty as it sits right now. That by definition is somebody you have to let go because you can't afford to pay them. It's not because you want to let them go, but there's not an unlimited payroll. 

     

    When Lindgren hits arbitration, Trouba's deal becomes a M-NTC.  I don't know about you but the SECOND Trouba's deal becomes a M-NTC, I want the fargin trade list. TOOT SUITE.
