Ok, so I really dont see a world where this postponement doesnt lead to a complete cancellation. I assume the NHLPA would have to agree on how to proceed and I just dont see how it gets done. So, with the said, how do draft picks get handed out? Is it just from the standings now? To finish out this post and go along with the title, where does this team go next year? I say post rebuild but in all reality it is really tail end rebuild into the compete era. This team really came together this year and showed this core has what it takes to score and win. They need to shore up the D core and bottom 6, otherwise this team absolutely hands down can make some noise. How do you view this sudden end to the year and the opportunity for next season?

We avoided the injury bug for most of the season and it decided to bite now? WTF!?!

You trade Zib and get Eichel, we are in the same position. Panarin is a non starter. Eichel is great but not at that price. Doesnt make the team better.

Any word on how long CK will be out?

Let Hank have the job. Georgiev is young and knows he has a place here. Let this be Hanks swan song for one last run at it. The fire in his belly could take us further than expected.

Loved today. Anyone else hoping Lundquist has a fire for one last cup run on broadway. The story would be amazing. Definitely building a great culture. Need some lucky bounces and lightning in a bottle. Here is to hoping he goes out on the absolute top! We all knew he couldnt play 82 at his compete level anymore. The man has 20ish regular season starts and however deep he can carry them into the playoffs. We have done more with less (Torts era)

Hank bought out, Kreider resigned. My guess.

WFAN will have it on. https://www.radio.com/wfan/listen

Where can we listen?

Wow the market is high. Dangle DeAngelo and CK.

Ottawa giving away the farm and really doing us a solid for CK's price.

Trade: Hank- solidifies this core. Fast- save that salary!! ADA- ONLY IF OFFERED A KINGS RANSOM and they just may get it. Sign: Kreider- Give him the C.

Report: Rangers likely to trade Kreider as extension talks collapse https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1952268

Send him to Carolina. Seems like a good room and they need him now!!

Potential WC spot by week's end....if so, this team is on a ridiculous hot run. Really testing Gortons long term goal with the recent play. Is it an aberration?

This team hangs with the best of em'. They have taken a big step forward this year. Hard to think CK could be on the way out. Does that change our trajectory? I think so. It's like 2 steps forward and 1 step back. With our record of first round picks. ....are we better keeping CK especially for the culture that has grown here? This team works hard. I'd like to see that continue....talk about leading by example this year. Damn. Fluke, anomaly or otherwise, CK stepped up HUGE this year and made a statement.

Definitely enough time to do it. Fricking Shesty is 7-1. Hell, we could sneak in and get some experience which would be a real step forward this year. But that would be dependant on keeping CK and Tony D. No way this team keeps performing at this level without those 2.

The tandem of Shesty and Georgiev is so bright for the future here, Hank has to see the writing on the wall. How are the Jets terminating Buffs contract? Anyway we can do that with Hank?

Kreider is going to Arizona for Derek Stepan.;)

Wow. This is terrible.

True. Problem solved. That was easy.

Athletes are human so....if I'm offered a job in Edmonton making significantly more money than my current job but love my life where I live and enjoy the area on top of the kick ass company I work for, I go to my boss and say, these guys offered me a boatload of money to relocate. Can you give me something to make me stay? I love it here but this money would be life changing. In turn the current company gives you a small bump, you continue loving life and edmonton finds a new schlep to try and poach. It all comes down to priorities. In those shoes, seeing my future with an up and coming juggernaut with a leadership role for a cup contender in my prime/veteran years, I'm taking that and settling down. I'm no where near that status (obviously) but doesnt it get to a point where a few million doesnt change your lifestyle. Proper investments can make up the difference.

Can Lemieux grow and hack it as a Kreider replacement?

1 mil per 10 points? 5.5 mil -6 mil sounds reasonable to me if he really wants to stay?
