Same names we've all heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks FWIW, Kaplan said that the Rangers are concentrating on team speed, which is why Bonino was let go. And that was a tough organizational decision. So hearing that, I wouldn’t think someone like Hayes would be a fit here. Even at 50% retention. But we shall see. It’s been the same names out there for a few weeks now so we know who’s out there. Just a matter of finding the right deal and fit. Edited February 17 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The Rangers are definitely in the slower ranks among the likely playoff teams. That will work if the goaltending is sensational and the Rangers can score some timely 5v5 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I feel like I can almost guarantee that the Rangers take a flyer on Kevin LaBanc. NY native. He was a healthy scratch for a bunch of games and now as we’re getting closer to the deadline he’s playing with some better players. It’s also been reported that both his agent and Grier are looking to move him. He’s unrestricted at the end of the season. Maybe a 4th rounder gets it done? I don’t really like him much but he can shoot. He might be a decent addition to try on Zibs right wing at a relatively low cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has never cracked 20 goals and to be put on a line that doesn't shoot enough. That concerns me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a guy that I would take a chance on to plug him onto the 3rd or 4th line. I don’t think he’s got the defensive feel for the game to be in that spot. I’d much rather just about every other option here but it just feels like it’s going to happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My offer is a conditional seventh. As in, Rangers make the second round, it's a seventh. Otherwise, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The Rangers should do a study based on who wants to ditch cap/salary at the deadline and see if any of the players in that category help the team significantly for the playoffs and moving forward. There's no reason we have to be a buyer if there are teams who really want to sell. Much better to be in that market because futures expended are likely to be low/non-existent.

The Dude Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Why not Sammy Blais for nothing? UFA after the season. 1 mill cap hit. Excellent depth piece. Guy that is built for the playoffs. Just need to temper the expectations and use him as a 4th liner/extra forward or your emergency top 6 RW. I mean, you COULD try him with 20/93 as per last seasons plan. But I really would want him for depth and playoff experience. 1 goal 6 assists in 43 games and 9:37 of icetime on a shit Blues team are horrible numbers. No goals in I think last 40... Again. Beggars can't be choosers. Looking for lightning in a bottle. It couldn't cost much more than a 4th or 5th rounder, or a nothing prospect.

Kid just was unlucky here, first with that injury, and then last year he couldn’t catch a break and clearly wasn’t all the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The day is inching closer. I'd be surprised if we didn't splash before deadline day; the more time to acclimate the better. However, how do you change things up when you're on a 7 game heater? Cmon Chris.....get Tarasenko back here for a 2025 second and Zac Jones.

We can get Tank for a lot less than a 2nd and a Player. He probably won't need more than next year's 4th rounder. He's no more than a rental, I think at this point, J.

I watched a lot of this game too. Tarasenko is fine but man, I want Matthieu Joseph on this Rangers team. Very impactful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
