Half the guys we've talked about as targets would end up being rentals.

Most sites have him listed as a RW some have him listed as both.

 

Sportsforcaster has him at RW

Well they might not like the sight lines at America West Arena, but at ASU, they have 12,000 seats from which you can't see anything at all...

That's why they need to reno the place so it's hockey conducive.  Like they did with the Key now Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

Amazing how that works eh? Funny, he seemed mostly okay at the all star game lol

That's why I don't trust the vanilla midget commissioner. He's whisky bound and hell bent to make sure teams like the Golden Showers, Puddy Tats & the team in Arizona who's going to play in a high school gym "succeed" or they'll  just be another lockout.

Everyone cheats. 

  So then what's the point of sports?? Because people need their "bread & circus". That or they end up going postal.

And yet the draft rules were the same for both teams....

 

Same rules...but "different talent".

IMO the NHL wanted to "fast track" Vegas because it was a "non traditional" market, where as Seattle has had Jr. hockey for the longest time and was more a no brainer to put a team there.

Outside of Petterson, I wouldn't mind doing JT & Boeser + for ALF & Chytil +

Well when you look at the records books and then you assume (because you have to) that everyone was cutting corners in their own way. When someone is that much better than everyone else, you don't just chuck it.

 

I think there's probably a large amount of people who are hate that there are scandals because the Patriots didn't need to cheat, they almost always had the best talent.

and that's the worst part, they didn't have to cheat. If there was no cheating, I'd be on the "Brady is the GOAT" bandwagon.

Athletes were cheating when they also knew it was hard to hide from cameras...You don't think they've been cheating for decades?

 

It's a matter of who gets caught, not who cheated and didn't.

We can go all the way back to the Black Sox scandal in baseball. My point it should we let people shove the narrative that Brady is the GOAT down our throats and just accept it?? 

..and here comes the Brady hobknobbing. Oh he's the GOAT and what not. As long as the specter of Deflategate & Spygate loom, he will NEVER be the GOAT. For all we know that could just be the tip of the iceberg.

YEA!!! Loved those jerseys!!!

This is all fine and good but at the end of the day, CK and Trouba for that matter, will end up as cap casualties once they're deals become    M-NTC's. Then the question is who gets shipped out or not resigned to keep CK and/or Trouba? 

I wouldn't mind a Jones/Schneider D paring. 

GOOD!!!  For once it's not the NHL going through a lockout.

But at some point  (like now, it seems) the Rangers have to take a risk on a younger, still underwhelmingly producing player like Chytil over a proven one like Strome who will cost more.

 

That's why Chytil might be better off playing W than C. 

You sign Strome, chances are Chytil & maybe Nemeth become cap casualties.

Watch as this becomes another Jack Eichel situation....

At least Fox has won a Norris trophy & might win another one by the end of the year.

Chytil is cheap. Would like to see georgie sold also. Nemeth fine, sell. 

I don't know if Chytil is the answer at 2C. Unless Morgan Barron is ready to be a mainstay for the bottom 6.

How can we afford that?

Chytil and maybe Nemeth might be cap casualties. I can also see Georgie boy getting traded as well.

I don't know how there are people still not giving Strome credit for the great player he's been. He may be off to a slow start this season but he is proven, and the all the time he produced last season without Panarin should be enough to dispel the "inflated by Panarin" argument.

I agree his trajectory is good and people underrate Chytil's production but at the same time Chytil just doesn't "feel" right a lot of the time, fails the eyeball test I guess. I think it's the position, he's not what you want at 3C and I'm not so sure about him as a 2C either so I'd like to see him on the wing.

If you ask me, I think 7-7.5 per keeps Strome a Ranger. He's not getting Zbad money that's for sure.

Goodrow is punching above his weight at 1rw. 100% he's our 3rd line c, but we're going to need to trade Strome, move Chytil up, and trust laf can figure out the right side on the top line. He's a bright young boy, i think he can do it. Or rent a serious wing at the deadline. 

IMO Chytil is not the answer at C. W? Sign me up. If you ask me, I'm trading Chytil before Strome. Strome has proven his worth. The question is what's it going to cost to keep him?

Kyle Clifford is on waivers from the St. Louis blues he could be a quick solution. Or with the 9 million in the bank you can go out and get a quality top winger

He's a LW, don't need anymore LW's An RW or C would be preferrable.

Well, I mean..  I love Strome... But he's not having a good contract year. Is Strome losing that "must keep "status? It's heading that way. 

So what do you do?? Do you trade Strome and/or Chytil to a contender?? If we keep Chytil he has to be a winger, so now worst case we are in the market for 2 centers.

Doesn't matter because in the end in order to resign Strome, Chytil will be a cap casualty. 

If it's any other team, it's an "upper body injury".
