If the Rangers are not careful, the late 80's will happen all over again. Too many bad draft picks. How many 1st round picks have resulted in top tier players ? Another issue is player development. Several seasons ago, K'Andre Miller looked to be the second coming of Larry Robinson, but he has regressed instead. Giving Shesterkin a monstrous contract when your team is aging and devolving is detrimental. Let him have a chance to win with a contender and get back assets. J.T. Miller WAS a Ranger...a number of years ago ! Now is not the time to get older and hope that you can extract from an qging star. Too late. Get younger and build properly.
Mika's contract is all but impossible to move. He's only going to get worse and his AAV is bad and his NMC is a problem. The fact that Zac Jones has become so alienated that he's essentially asked for a trade is yet another glaring indictment of how the Rangers are just incapable of developing talent. Sure we have adam fox, but he was going to be a stud no matter where he played. you look at kids like K'Andre Miller who is undeniably talented and skilled and desperate need of better guidance and coaching he is going to turn into the next Kappo Kakko and people forget how kids like Kravtsov and Lias Andersson could have been solid NHLers if not real weapons and were ruined by NYR. Meanwhile you look at kids like BRett Howden and Anthony Duclair who were shipped out for cheap and Duclair has turned into a legit scoring threat and Howden has won what, 2 Cups in Vegas? And as for Kreider...I'm gonig to say something that is going to upset a lot of people but i think it needs to be said: he's not a leader. And he holds all these records because he's compiling stats simply due to the length of his time in NY. By all rights, he should have been Captain at some point but never has. Throughout this entire miserable stretch he's just parroting platitudes and stock answers. Meanwhile you look at how a guy like Foligno handled getting pumped 6-2 during the outdoor game or how BRad Marchand (as much as i hate that guy) came out swinging with both hands and a knife in his mouth taking the Keefe guy to task...that's what the Rangers needed so desperately that Trouba never did nor has Kreider ever have either. Is he a good influence for young players? I don't see anything to lead me to believe he is. He just looks like a chill guy riding out his contract content to cash a check especially after his feelings were hurt because he got put on a bloc. Meanwhile we got a journeyman in Sam Carrick who's busting his ass for the Shield and scoring shorties and OT winners and that's a dude who's probably gone after this season if not by the trade deadline. I look at kids like Berard and Cuylle and I fear for them because they got that dog in them. Those kids hit with bad intentions and they want to go to war every shift. That's what we need. We need a team with guys who hate to lose more than they love to win. To quote a better hockey mind than mine, "They don't skate, they don't hit, they float. And worst of all, they don't hate to lose."
With the prospects like Berard, Othmann and soon Gabe. My only concern with them is durability issues. Berard and Gabe are undersized players and will probably never hit the 180 pound range as a forward. They aren't going to handle taking big hits well, we've already seen this with Berard. Othmann has had a few injuries, nothing serious but it's starting to become to trend with him. Gabe playstyle and his size reminds me a lot of how johnny gaudreau played. RIP Gaudreau. Gone waaay too soon. I still like Sykora but he isn't ready yet. He needs another two or three years in the AHL to gain more experience. BMB hasn't really impressed me this season for the Wolfpack. Only good defensive prospects that're even somewhat ready on defense are Robertson and Mancini. Garand looks ready to fill the backup roll for Igor. He's 11-5-2 with a gaa of 2.15 save percentage of .0928 and has two shutouts. In his 17 starts for the wolfpack this season.
@@Ddeamorin It might be a good idea to bring in a player of his caliber. He actually has leadership abilities. Which the Rangers locker room is really lacking atm. Vinny has stood out the most as the most recent leader for this team. I believe he is technically still under contract but I'm not 100% sure.
@delsanravelvetheart4365 i worry he hasn't played a game in almost 2 seasons , I'm not even sure if he is attached to any organization anymore I'd imagine Chicago would see something for it.
@@Ddeamorin Rangers do need a leader in the locker room. That is another glaring weakness this team has. Yes, as I mentioned earlier. Vinny has started to take on the leadership role for this team. Which honestly is the right player for the job but Toews would be good to bring in for a few reasons. He could help teach the younger players with a few things, he's been a leader pretty much since he put on a Blackhawks jersey. When Toews speaks, players listen because of the success he had during his career. Of course, he'll be a shell of his former self but he'd have a lot to offer in other area's.
@@Ddeamorin However, I would wait about a three weeks to a month, before even thinking about it. Within the timeframe, we'll be able to tell if this current team is playoff bound or not.
Riley Smith for draft and or prospects. I do believe you’ve lost your mind.😂😂😂 sorry but what team are we talking about again? The Rangers do not need draft prospects not to mention Riley Smith is not gonna fetch much at all.
Rangers need to make a move on some draft picks no more kapo guys please! Get some hisher type players and Hughes !! Idk who the rangers scouts are but they hey suck !!!
Kakko looks so much better on the Kraken. He's already got 4 goal and 4 assists in his past 11 games played for them. It's going to be another prospect the Rangers could not develop properly the way Kakko has produced for the Kraken.

The Rangers went through an expedited rebuild and now the tab is due for payment.

I just saw an article about the rangers and Jonathan toews could you imagine.

Good morning 🎉
I think the NY smog is getting to these Ranger fans. Witnessing this meltdown has been fantastic.
