Let me know if they correct themselves at all about the last Ranger defenseman with a hat trick . Leetxh didn’t it once in the playoffs against the Flyers. Unless they meant last one at MSG specifically.

Big Ranges win tonight as Hank stands on his head to show he still has it!

You probably get a bit more from him now than u do this off-season I think if he’s traded to a team that isn’t looking for an insurance policy

Lol

You forgot Hammer of Kotes

Once again no, you are missing the exact point. This board is run and contributed to by members and staff that all make this work. Different opinions and all. However, to actually start calling out mods and complaining about a GDT not being up yet is just asinine. People take their own free time to do this. I’m just trying to help you. Obviously YOU come here. No one is forcing you so it’s clear you need us more than we need you. When you don’t post, this place survives just fine. Thrives with or without you. It’s fine that you are ignorant to the money aspect of this salary cap era. 100% fine. Understand though that it is your ignorance on the matter only. It’s not evidence of being a super fan optimist where you need to call out ad naseum anyone who says player x,y,or z is expendable. When you were calling him Rick Na$h or bringing up Shattenkirk being overpaid no one said boo about it. That’s why you’re a fraud and a clown now. But instead, don’t take my advice from one grown man to another. Instead, keep going the way you are going and trying to disrespect every Rangers fan on here and see where you end up considering most of us are adults with lives, families, jobs, obligations, whatever and find some free time to contribute here. You should try it one day. Enjoy.

Guy would you stop? You're a fraud. In the past you've had issues with Shattenkirk, Nash, Skjei, Smith, and management for the money they give out to players. Stop acting like a clown just for the sake of acting like a clown and pretending you are the ultimate optimist. If you are retired and happy, then watch the game in peace and stop being a miserable internet freak here. We get it, the game has passed you by with analytics, salary cap, reality, etc. It's fine. Enjoy the bliss of just watching the games then. However, to come here constantly trying to poke your opinion into places where it's not warranted just screams of desperation. Maybe there is not enough joy in Rangerland for you anymore? That is so cool that you have a HIGH DEF tv! Enjoy that!

If the truth was that they were trying to push out Hank, why is he starting tomorrow? Wouldn't it make the most sense then to start Georgiev tomorrow and let Hank sit in the press box for a few weeks rotating Shesh and Georgie? I don't think the organization is willing to do that to him at all.

K'Andre has played LD too

Hey did you go to the game last night? lol :)

Makes the most sense to me. Let Shestyorkin get a few games to watch from a different perspective.

Part of why we have offense is because of ADA. He’s 5th in the entire league in d scoring. You want to improve our d? Get rid of Staal for sure and possibly Skjei since he’s leveled out and regressed. Get or develop an actual 2nd line center that plays both ways, let our D develop, and solidify a real checking line. Trouba has the tools takes that step into the shutdown D he is so you just have to trust it’ll happen. ADA and Fox become your real pp quarterbacks. Lindgren looks fairly solid. You hope some of the D like Miller coming up are real. Finally you figure out for sure if Quinn is the guy for us. I’m not exactly seeing a real system from him sometimes and I wonder how much our defensive woes are from the coaching staff.

I don’t really know if there is hate. There’s ribbing and poking fun but I haven’t seen anyone flat out hate the guy. If he’s still only a 40pt player after next year when his deal expires, they probably sign him for around that on a 1 or 2 year deal because he will want a chance to cash in on a career year.

I think you keep ADA. He’s still an RFA so he still won’t be as high as a ufa ADA would be. Hopefully they can offer a bit overpay but eat up an extra year to keep him around before his big big payday.

The above D yes. 100% The longer we keep Staal, Smith, Skjei, the less money we have to retain and call up better options.

If he refuses to play and they suspend him, how long is he our rights for? He’s an rfa after next season I believe but I’m not sure how him leaving and being suspended affects his contract tenure

He’s going to be taking hanks contract, or somewhere around there. Probably a bit more but the cap should have gone up by then. Regardless this is why I think we should stop obtaining assets as much as starting to assemble a roster that will be competing for a cup by the end of next year / year after. I really think this years development is hinging on making the playoffs. We need to start getting inexperienced players a taste.

Well according to hockey reference he never got a hat trick besides that one in the playoffs https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/l/leetcbr01.html

And it should. At some point this organization has to turn a corner and decide if players a-f are part of a future. I dont see how Ada is not. He’s an rfa so if they are mart, they bargain on giving him a bit more money to hold him longer term and end up a bargain. As I’ve already said, two of the three in Staal, Skjei, Smith have to go. They just have to. I’d like to be a force by 22/23 and that won’t happen if you don’t commit to pieces you feel are involved in our future. Strome, Lemieux, ADA need to come back. Lesser Lemieux but I think we would ,it’s him and his pedigree gives me a feeling he has more to give as a gamer.

Technically Leetch had a hat trick in the playoffs against the Flyers I think in 95.

Nope but it sure is giving them every excuse to shop Georgiev

I'm not sure you play him Saturday just for the fact that then what happens when they play the Isles? He loses Saturday then you go to Henrik against the Isles when he hasn't played since jan 2 ?

NO HANK NO ! I’ll miss that sort of lol
