fletch Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 In the next three years 3-5 years from now 5-10 years from now 10-20 years from now Over 20 years from now You can use your own criteria, but I would suggest you include rationale in this thread. For me: In the next three years means rebuilding on the fly; NYR can add a few key players, fine-tune the roster, and win a Stanley Cup championship. 3-5 years from now means that NYR need more talent in the pipeline, NYR need to get rid of some bad contracts, NYR need to reidentify core members of the organization, etc 5-10 years from now means organizationally NYR need to restructure; positions such as GM and head coach may need to change 10-20 or over 20 years from now: the Rangers won a cup in 1940, and another in 1994; historical perspective
fletch Posted February 10, 2019 Author Posted February 10, 2019 I am picking 3-5 years from now, although anything is possible.
siddious Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 5-10 although I dont agree with the synopsis. I don?t think they necessarily need to restructure. It?s just that if you?re drafting guys now then they?re likely not going to be contributing on a legitimate level for 3-5 years. Not to mention a few seasons to get the team to compete like a championship team. And I still believe that they need a horrible year where they get to draft top 3 otherwise it?s all pretty much moot because I don?t see them drafting so well that it negates the need for top end talent.

Rangers Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 5-10 years. I think they need to change the whole scouting department, and development system.
Parsley Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 10-20 years. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
BrooksBurner Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 How long is a lifetime? 12 more years. I voted 10-20 years.
paddynyc Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 i went with the 3-5 years and we can only hope.
Phil Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Given the state of the blue line and the age of Lundqvist, I'm going with five-to-ten. I think we're underestimating the steps required to make the Rangers' defense NHL caliber (including how long it takes to accomplish), and no matter his counting stats in the KHL, I'm reluctant to crown a rookie Russian goalie the Next One.
Flynn Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I voted 10-20 I have little faith in Gorton I have even less faith in Gordie Clark I hope I'm very wrong (on the pessimistic side, not underestimating the required time)
Slobberknocker Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 5-10 for me. a lot to like on some of the pics they've made but believe it will take a full 5 years for this young core to mature.
Stephen Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 5-10 Years. The young players need more time to develop and proper coaching needs to be in place to ensure that the Rangers are a true hockey team that will compete in the future
Blue Heaven Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Hopefully in my lifetime, but I think Sam Rosen jinxed us by saying "This one will last a lifetime" when the Rangers won in '94.
4EverRangerFrank Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I?m hopeful that it?s only 3-5 and more likely to be 5. Honest question sparked by So Nashty?s post above; Do we really need a bottom-out tank to be successful? Put another way, what is the historical norm of Cup winning teams? Did most scrape the bottom before reaching nirvana? Asking for me. :-)
Blue Heaven Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I’m hopeful that it’s only 3-5 and more likely to be 5. Honest question sparked by So Nashty’s post above; Do we really need a bottom-out tank to be successful? Put another way, what is the historical norm of Cup winning teams? Did most scrape the bottom before reaching nirvana? Asking for me. :-) Pens, Crosby 1st overall, Malkin 2nd overall Caps, Ovechkin 1st overall, Backstron 4th overall Blackhawks, Kane 1st overall, Toews 2nd Overall LA Kings, Doughty 2nd overall then you have teams like EDM/NYI that have been tanking for years and always bust. It comes down to competent management, and scouting staff, striking gold with a Top 3-4 pick and in the 2nd/3rd rounds, and making smart managerial decisions.
4EverRangerFrank Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Thx Blue Heaven. I forget these things. What happened to our scouting staff? Weren?t they magicians a few years ago?
ThirtyONE Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Thx Blue Heaven. I forget these things. What happened to our scouting staff? Weren’t they magicians a few years ago? Our scouting staff hasn’t had much to work with. People point to McIlrath as their window into the success of Gordie Clark but he also drafted Kreider, Skjei, Jt Miller, Chytil, Andersson, Kravstov, K Miller and Lindqvist. Our scouting staff batting average looks to be pretty high.
Albatrosss Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 12 more years. I voted 10-20 years. average lifetime in the US is 78 years. We have 53 years to go
BrooksBurner Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 average lifetime in the US is 78 years. We have 53 years to go I was referring to that UN report a few months back that basically said we are all dying within 12 years if the world doesn't turn carbon neutral, so I guess that's our window.
fletch Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Looks like 5-10 years is best supported by the BSBH population, about half think less time, about half think more time.
fletch Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 I hate to think that we might have to wait another 7 or 8 years (since its 25 years and counting from 1994) so hopefully the Cup will come sooner. I remember the 1940 chants, and don't want to get to the point where Islanders/Devils/Flyers fans can start chanting 1994.
Albatrosss Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 In couple of years i’ll start chanting 1994
NY Chief Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Hopefully in my lifetime, but I think Sam Rosen jinxed us by saying "This one will last a lifetime" when the Rangers won in '94. "1 Cup in 74 years.... IT BETTER LAST A LIFETIME"
