They didn't blow the cup drunko. The refs fucked up two games at the end and apologized to the Rangers for it after the series. Plus, if Girardi was even close to healthy in that series, Rangers win it in 6 or less. His game was perfect to play the Kings. He was incredibly hurt that series.
 
They did blow the series. Blew leads, hit posts, made players like Kyle Clifford and Matt Greene look like HOFs. Gaborik made a fool out of them. We brought in Nash to replace him and he couldn’t score a goal for shit in big spots. Not to mention Girardi’s best play was an assist on the game winner in Game 1. I’m sure plenty of players from both sides played hurt. I remember also in game 1 they were up 2-0 in the 2nd period and D. Moore missed a wide open net on a tap-in on a great pass from MSL. I’ll never forget that. If they scored and went up 3-0 they would have won game 1 and the series might have been much different

I said that months ago. I mean to me, Strome, Buchnevich and TDA can all be on the table.
 
It seems Gorton is targeting the Flames who appear to be blowing that team up and going into rebuild mode.
 
They still have not extended a qualifying offer to Strome (they did for Lemieux, Georgiev, and DeAngelo). Sounds like they may focus on getting a deal done by the deadline of 7 PM tomorrow night, or deal his rights. Could even happen tonight at the draft, who knows. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
 
Ok, I guess this will be the draft thread ha ha ha
 
Rangers extended a QO to Strome. I am still thinking a 1 or 2 year deal for him (1 more likely). Maybe a 2 or 3 year deal for DeAngelo. I don't think trading either is out of the question, but I think they are leaning towards re-signing both. FA starts in 2 days. So we'll see some good action and rumors soon.
 
I did just read that DeAngelo and the Rangers are continuing talks, but it's now 50/50 re-sign or trade him. Just like last time DeAngelo being tough it seems.
 
They seem to have had talks with Vegas about him.
 
I am looking forward to seeing what Gorton does tomorrow. Do we keep Strome and DeAngelo? Who is the LD added to pair with Trouba? Do we sign another C if we keep Strome? I expect some action.
 
Wonder if the Blues would trade Dunn. Probably not with AP likely leaving.
 
They only would trade Dunn if they decided to rebuild. Given he's 23 and his game is made for the playoffs it's going to cost a lot to get him. I don't see that team doing anything when they lose Pietrangelo. Their farm sucks and they have little youth on the team. For example, they would probably want Miller and Chytil for him. Pass.

DeKeyser is a very good defensive defenseman. He is coming off back surgery which should lower his value. He has 2 years left on his contract, is a lefty and only makes 4.5. Detroit sucks ass. I don't think it would take much to get him.
 
Yeah, no way they move Dunn with the team they have now, even if Pietrangelo comes back. DeKeyser isn't a bad idea, he's pretty solid. Vegas may be looking to move Martinez i saw. Perhaps Gorton looks at someone like Brodie or Stetcher.
 
He hasn't been good in years. Like I thought, nobody is going to rush in to save the Lightning and Islanders with their pathetic cap situations.
 
Got the expansion exposure guy done with Kinkaid so that's out of the way.
 
Yup, he goes to the AHL and adds a vet down there, and covers the expansion draft. Now go get a LD and maybe a C.
 
Saw Fast to Nashville most likely and Shatt is headed to the other Disney for 3y.
 
Bitetto only needs 19 games next year to become expansion eligible so that might be their plan with him. I think it's going to be Kinkaid/Bitetto/Lemieux and either Strome or Howden on the list.
 
If they sign all the RFA's there looks to be about 5m left.
 
Let's hope Pietrangelo doesn't sign in Vegas so they come calling for TDA. Give me Krebs and at least a 2nd. Rangers loved Krebs but moved up in the draft and had to take Kakko.
 
It would be very surprising if he didn't sign in LV. They cleared cap space for him, and the Blues moved on. Seems likely to get done today. Hall still out there as well. Two biggest FA's still available on day two.
 
I have to think the Rangers do something today. Unless they are punting on the season and waiting to clear over 13.2 mill in cap space next season (8.9 in dropping cap penalties for Hank/Shatt buyouts and 4.3 for Smith expiring contract), I cannot see this D starting the season.

Johnson, Miller, Smith, and Hajek are the current options needing to play 2 to round out LD. I don't see it. Things have to happen I think. Plus still not sure about Strome, and adding a C maybe (that may depend on Strome).
