Larry Brooks needs to stop writing and retire

[kreidertime]

His article today was that of a child. Stating, the Rangers don't have to trade DeAngelo. Yes Larry, They do. The reason they do is two fold. One, Andersson, Howden, Kravtsov and Buchnevich have been busts to this point. Buchnevich is dumb as dog shit on the ice. The organization badly needs more, young, talented forwards. Two, the team after years of having nothing on the right side on defense is now stacked. Lundkvist projects as a stud NHL defenseman who is pretty much pro ready playing against men already. Keane is having a big year as a rookie in the NHL. If they can swing a DeAngelo for Tuch and a pick deal, Tuch will be far more valuable to this team than DeAngelo wil be l going foward.

They need to trade Buchevich to a team like Edmonton and go get a prospect like Bensen or Yamamot0. Larry is so clueless it's really an embarrassment to our organization at this point.

He isn't associated with the Rangers organization in any way. Unless you are referring to the Rangers fans as an organization...which if that's the case...yikes.

I don't see how they can keep Staal and Smith on the books going into next year with all they'll have going on, especially if guys like Barron, Kravtsov(?), Miller and Keane are pushing for spots. Smith can be put in Hartford and maybe someone will take most of Staals last year for a draft pick thrown in. They need to clear an extra 5-6m on top of what they'll have with Fast, McKegg and Haley gone.

Panarin's been great but that's a pass you can't make, especially with the goalie pulled. Nice comeback attempt anyhow. Kakko has really hit the proverbial 'wall' and gets knocked off the puck way too easily right now.

Yep. Kakko will start putting up numbers when he bulks up about 20 pounds.
