No clue why they or any team didn’t get Sturm.

Maybe at least the team will be a little less leaky defensively now.

I would have either traded the 25th +/- pick in the draft, or not thrown away four picks like they did for no reason. Don't half a** it. Either go, or don't and sell. Seeing how it played out, I am as bothered by that as I am clinging to a late 1st round pick in a weak draft.

That would require a plan though, and we know about that...

Yep

Chuck has wanted to piss away our picks and prospects every season since chat boards existed. They need to give Jones a chance elsewhere next season. I’m hoping Berard gets called up. Fourth line looks to be Vesey-Goodrow-Edstrom. That I can roll with post season.

Not defending Chuck but I don’t understand you. In one breath you piss and moan like a kid in Target whose parents won’t buy him a toy about how this team has one 1 Cup in 84 years then in the next breath say we need to hold onto every possible draft pick. You are exactly what this team is. Half in and half out. We either need to trade picks for the here and now or trade stars to acquire picks to build for the future. Trying to do both is why this team hasn’t won.

That 4th line isn’t doing shit. We basically are the same team prior to trade deadline, which wouldn’t have been terrible except that 2 of our main competitors in the East got much better, and we have seen how this team has had to battle with them already this season. Now that they are both even better those battles could get tilted more towards them.

I wonder why he deteriorated so rapidly, he's not all that old.

He's not a huge guy, plays a very tough game, lot of playoff miles - it was bound to happen. Chances are slim to none he is on the opening night roster next year. But hope he has some left in the tank for one last playoff run. Like it or not he will be playing an important role on the PK and playing important 3rd period minutes. I don't care if he doesnt score if he does that well.

Edstrom sent down, I figured Rempe had the edge on him due to the physical element he adds. Not sure which way Lavy will go for the 12th forward, will it be Rempe or Brod? I would lean Rempe, but we'll find out tonight.

It's funny how last year many of this year's Drury haters insisted on Gallant being the problem and all this team needed was a competent coach because the poor players were confused and forgot how to play hockey and the mean old ogre wouldn't coach them, they even met with Drury who was awesome to listen to these squishy pussies and agreed to fire one of the most successful coaches in Rangers' history. The reason the Rangers have constantly failed every postseason is they're physically dominated, they lost the Cup to an underpowered LA team that pushed pucks past Hank while the undersized defense begged for penalties. Many problems with today's roster fall back to that incompetent buffoon Gorton whose first 3 drafts gave the Rangers 2 pros then with 3 picks in 2018 only hit on one. JD was stupid to hitch his wagon to this hunch playing dumbass. No need to bother with Sather.
