as a ranger fan mika has been an absolute liability this year i dont know whats going on with him along with kreider not playing up to expectations. Miller, Trouba, and Lindgren need to go we need to shake up that defense were gonna get eaten up in the playoffs with igor taking 40 shots a game. We need to shake up the roster and theres clear outliers on the ice every game so i think its obvious now who needs to go and who needs to stay
Mika will turn it around, players have rough stretches. As for Trouba he is most likely to go based on his contract and the term remaining, changing your captain and a top 4 defenseman is enough to shake up the core a bit
@@jimmyhockey trading a young defense men like miller would be a mistake in my opinion the rest of the guys could go id even go as far as saying fox should go not miller fox is suppose to be a high scoring superstar defense me but guys like cale makar and evan bouchbomb are better takes of wat u want
Mika is -13. Kappo is +13. Kappo / Cuylie / Chytil defend they way they are supposed to have been the most consistently productive line 5-5. This lazy trope about underperforming rookies takes the focus off of the abysmal performance of the top 6.
Playing on the 3rd line is no where close to playing on the first line against top players. Kakko has been underwhelming when put anywhere near the top 6 and the other two would likely have the same experience. Mika has been tough to start the year but I expect him to bounce back
Nothing has changed from last season's' roster to this years. I don't know what Rags fans were honestly expecting. Keeping Trouba after that playoff performance is hysterical. There is no grit on this team and everyone in the league knows it. You cannot win on skill alone.
Well last years team was phenomenal so fans should have high expectations. Sometime the grind of the regular season can slow a team down when they were just so close to winning it all. Thats what I think is happening here
If the Rangers give Igor the money he wants they need their heads examined. Let him walk. They need to invest in D and number one C. Stop using goalies as a crutch. Build a decent team first, THEN sign a great goalie and pay him whatever is left.
Are you ok? Shesty is the only thing that’s keeping the rangers alive right now and without him both the franchise and the fans would suffer a great loss of a inhumanly good goaltender
Let him walk? Lmfao goaltending sonce 06 is the only reason you guys have ever made deep runs in the playoffs rangers NEED the best goaltending in the world to have success. No Lundqvist or Shesterkin not even kidding maybe 4 or 5 series wins since 06
Heres my take. The biggest issue is Trouba and Lindgren. in their game against the blues Lindy and Trouba just stared at the puck and did nothing. Mika is in a slump, and it's a shame. I don't see them moving him because when he's on he's on. I also don't understand the Miller hate. Paired with Fox he does really well. He only was awful because he was picking up after Trouba's constant out of position and mistakes. Cuylle Kakko and Chytil are shining in my opinion. Lafreniere is showing to be the star that he is. Panarin is Panarin. Cuylle showed in the Blues game that Kreider is expendable and not needed. Honestly move Trouba and Lindgren, get some good defenders and the team will start to move better. Also, i'm hot on Mancini, i think the kid is going to be a star defencemen, Paired with Jones they do pretty well. Overall though, I'm a big Rangers fan and i just wanna see them succeed
The team is very very good, all of their players are great in their roles but still they haven’t broken through, this is what concerns management. I agree with most of your points and like the overall makeup of the roster, but it’s a what have you done for me lately league and until this team at least gets to the Stanley Cup Finals there will always be criticism from media and concern from management. Thanks for watching and for the insightful comment!🙏🏻
You explained why Lindgren is struggling. Trouba. Lindgren is a good defenseman Trouba is absolutely horrible. Always out of position and ALWAYS expects his D partner to go and cover his position and/or puck. Trouba has hurt Millers growth as a defenseman. I would like to see Mancini across from Lindgren. I think Mancini can cover for Lindgren and play more physical to give Lindgren's body some rest. The Rangers get rid of Trouba, bench him if you have to. He has been horrible from day one. Schneider - Jones. And Fox - Miller.
@@1rtt1 thank you someone who doesnt blindly blame the young black d man cuz hes paired with a buffoon if they trade miller they will regret it in the long run
@@adambailey890 bingo rangers played a way better game against Carolina and had the lead until Trouba and Lindgren both blue coverage I don’t know how they both always leave a man open infront because both are always out of position .Lindgrens brother scored a better goal then lindgren has all year and he scored it on his own net .Kreider If healthy (I suspect he has not all season)can probably pot 30 goals with tip ins and cleanup rebounds infront.Defensmen can be replaced and found or someone blossoms late but replacing a 30 goal scorer and power play specialist and net front presence way harder.They have played 2 games with out Kreider one horrible and last night played well but another collapse.So we se how they look with out Kreider especially without his speed on the penalty kill.I think it’s only fair Trouba should get scratched so we can see how we look with out him.I bet we look better
Can’t afford to let Igor go. Panarin, Lafreniere and Fox are core mainstays. Cuylle is having a breakout season, him and that third line are a big reason for their record. Kakko has found a groove on that third line and is just a slow developer, I wouldn’t give up on him…like Lafreniere. I think Kreider and Mika are in slumps and Trouba is just a liability.
@@jimmyhockeyThe league has to eliminate these no move contracts. It’s almost like a gimme to become a slacker and collect a paycheck. The NHL will become a university safe space if they allow these absurd contracts to continue.
Great Video, as usual, Hawkey. As A Rangers Fan, I think that the problem that they have, is that GM Chris Drury is in GM Hell. Since he took over, all the John Davidson & Jeff Gorton moves have handcuffed him & Pavel Buchnievich Trade was the first result of that, by the former regime acquiring & its signing of Jacob Trouba, as is said in your video. Moreover, I think that so many of these players don't really step up til after New Year's Day, not to mention the fact their Goalies (Igor Shesterkin & Jonathan Quick) aren't even able to save every game (6 given up by the tandem in each of last games - even though a couple or so were Empty Net Goals). Let me know what you think
Thanks for watching. Yeah there have been ups and downs with the team and most of the time playoff contenders will likely ride out the season just for a chance at the cup again. Thats what we are seeing in New York, a team that just wants to play playoff hockey
@jimmyhockey Thank You for your comment & response. I think that it starts with Trading Captain Jacob Trouba. Then, see where you're at. I think that trading Chris Kreider is A Huge Mistake. He's one of the few Goal Scorers that they have. Let me know what you think & great video, once again.
based on how last season ended and this one started. let's take a hard look at: Mika? he's disappeared since the playoffs; Trouba played hurt during the playoffs and spent the summer listening to media saying he needs to be traded. Is he the only one? No. There's Trochek, Miller, Lindgren, Panarin and based on age, Kreider. He's been amazing although he's dealing with various back issues atm. Here's a hint to further NY Ranger contracts....the hell with no move clauses. It hurts the team wanting to make the trades, even with limited teams to go to. As for Igor, he's not showing why he should be the highest paid goalie in history. Here's the thing, if he really loves playing in NY and wants to win the cup here, take a little less and spread the wealth.
This is all on Drury, he fired Gallant as a scapegoat instead of dealing with the real issues with the underachieving soft core of this team. Very easy and lazy to fire one guy and call it a success... Drury should be OUT !
Very high expectations for coaches in this league, win the presidents trophy, get to the ECF and then fired the next year by the fanbase, that’s nuts to me
The Defence all starts with FOWARDS WHO DONT BACK CHECK. Stop blaming Defenseman who are constantly defending 3 on 2 4 on 2 Rushes. The fowards are Goal Hanging at center ice, hence all the Short handed goals. If your going blame , look at the #'s Trouba puts up, taking every Defensive zone faceoffs while Fox never does METRICS speak for themselves.... Now let's take a deep dive as to when this shit show started.Oct 29 Mika cries openly about ice time, 8-3 at the time. Lavy accommodates the cries, scrambled the lines and it's been downhill from there 4-5 since then. Instead having the Balls to SCRATCH Mika for abysmal play, 6 turnovers in 3 games leading directly to 5 goals against...... Rember the Turnover on a Bad pass to Wheeler that changed the Fla series ???????? I DO !!!!!!
What can be wrong with the Rangers? Can it be 1. Mika has been in a season and 1/2 slump that has taken any line mates he plays with down with him. Kreider is down as well but that is because Mika is not performing as he did when that line was cooking. Also, how many different wingers are they going to try and plug in there before they realize what the problem on that line is? 2. The top 6 defense is actually top three most nights. The youngest guys on D are showing up every game (and sometimes make mistakes) while a few of the veterans just don't seem interested at different times and that causes mistakes that has nothing to do with inexperience. 3. I watch a lot of games and there is a major difference in the pace of play. I don't have to run a list of the teams that excel in speed to the puck and speed up ice. You know who they are. The Rangers don't enter the top five in this category. One of the reasons they are giving up so many shots on goal is teams are flying by them in both directions. 4. All of the above.
The problem with Kreider is that he does bring much grit. For a big guy, he just does not go into the corners much. I think Miller is also on the way out too - again it’s about grit. Watch Lindgrin too.
trading kreider would be a huge mistake. he’s by far our most consistent playoff performer and he is the heart and soul of this team. i would be devastated to see him go.
Info on the young guys is no longer true... It is in fact the exact opposite now - the "Core" has been terrible while Chytil, Kakko and Cuylle have been the rangers best forwards and have created one of the top lines in the league. Producing legit offense and playing TWENTY games before letting up ONE goal against! That is insane. Laffy has finally arrived and was the best NYR skater vs the Panthers in the ECF's last year (all his numbers are done 5v5 as the 2nd PP unit gets like 15 seconds of time at the end of PP's - he's also dealing with a slumping center in Trochek who should turn it around soon). They also have Berard (small fast forward who plays like he is 7 ft tall) who just played his first game and scored (top 9 projection), Othmann with a top 9 projection and Gabe Perrault who has been tearing up the NCAA as a true freshman and now sophomore projected as a sure fire top line wing. Throw in Zac Jones who has been playing better then Fox so far this year once finally given the chance. Finally, Adam Edstrom is a 4th liner who can move up in the line up who is enormous and skates like he is a small skilled forward but powerful.
As a leaf fan I’d love to see Krieder play for the leafs. However I doubt it’ll happen because of his contract and I doubt New York is gonna wanna retain some of that contract and it wouldn’t work otherwise
I think every team would love Kreider and I agree I think he will stay with the rangers and that this is more of an energy sparkler to get the team to play harder
This isnt a playoff team. No hunger and no passion to win. Drury was too complacent and not holding them accountable to results. You cant blame the coach this time.
The team plays with a lack of Hustle and Spirit and what has led to this we will never know but it's like the team is pulling a Mutiny for some sort of reason. We know they're not tired you can see that it's more like a i don't care for now act. I love my team i don't like what's happening.
miller and mika are ghosts on the ice and nyr is playing dman roulette with mancini and jones......who id argue are better than miller right now. I liked berards performance the other night and hope he stays at nyr and doesnt go back to hartford. but in general we need more from laf and bread and to get mika to perform outside of the penalty kill which is all hes got right now.......ive watched him go dormant on the ice trying to set up a one timer several times (at the worst possible times ill add) and its just sad to watch man.
I’m sorry but anyone who thinks this team can still make it and doesn’t need an overhaul is respectfully very wrong. This team just does not have it. They didn’t last year either but on the back of Igor and some lucky streaks
Hey I’d rather be Rangers fan than an Islanders fan. At least the Rangers have sniffed success in recent memory. The Islanders haven’t even won a division title since the 80s.
Lowkey both teams have had similar stories, multiple conference finals but no cups to show, rangers are in a much better position roster wise but they both have had their struggles
@ I’d say they should try to sell Zibanejad and trade some picks for Granlund. He would allow them to pay Shesterkin and Lafreniere as well due to his lower salary. And Granlund is really underrated. An amazing passer with a lethal shot.
Mika just needs to go DJ I can tell he has no interest in playing nhl hockey the leadership is invisible I’m ready for the younger core and new players to takeover it’s been tiring for years now and I’m glad it’s finally exposed people thought real Ranger fans was negative for saying the flaws now look where we are 😂😂
@@criddlexd who says I haven’t been watching will cuylle carry this team I’m fully aware that he’s been good so what’s next the top line players are performing too huh 😂😂😂
@@jimmyhockey the way the top line been going about it lately I would have no complaints putting cuylle chytil kakko and lafreniere on the first or second line laffy even should be on the first line powerplay a lot more as well
While lots of my fellow Avs fans consider this heresy, the trade I'd like to see harkens back to the earliest days of the Avs in Colorado. It's a hockey trade that would send shockwaves through the league. Igor Shesterkin straight up for Mikko Rantanen (with about $3.5 million retained by Colorado to make it work for both on the cap). Both are on expiring deals (Igor at 5.8, Mikko at 9.25), and they both want about the same $12 to $14 million to re-sign. Avs have a serious G problem (last time a team had a 0.855 save percentage, they went 10-70-4), and the Rangers seem to need an upgrade in forward skill and consistency. Could be a win-win hockey trade. The history lesson is that in the Avs 1st season in Colorado they traded for the best goalie of the time (perhaps ever) in Saint Patrick of Roy and at the hight of his powers he was paid by the Avs an amount, adjusted for inflation, of nearly $14m/yr. That trade brought balance to the team.
I don't think that trading Chris Kreider is the answer. I think if they trade their Captain, Jacob Trouba, it'll send A Shock to all of the other players. Let me know what you think
I agree that Trouba is the better move, however trading your long time fan favorite player will send a bigger message about accountability. I don’t think they should trade him but it would be more impactful
Kreider is not going to be moved, I’d say the report is complete garbage. Trouba is first to go, after that it’s lindren. Kreider is not moveable. Brings too much. This is regular season. Kreider
Mika and Krieder are good players and so is Trouba. The issue with Troubs is the contract, he’s making to much which is preventing the team from addressing areas of need
@@jimmyhockey I can't watch them completely no show the playoffs again. They don't have the grit/heart for it anymore. Can't keep relying on our goalies to bail us out every game.
I don't think they really have any choice. If they lose Shesty, not only will they lose a ton more games, they'll also get roasted by their expectant fanbase. The Rangers don't really rebuild so it's probably about time for them to move contracts and try to reload.
I don’t even think a reload is necessary, this is their worst hockey right now and they are still well above .500 wait til they turn things on again the team should be okay without having to make drastic changes
@ your video was not bad but may I suggest you said you can look at it thru 2 lights but there is a 3rd light .The locker room being fractured .Chris Kreider has been a rangers legend has mentored lots of these kids now and before .Je speaks russian so he took buch under his wing.He took laff under his wing handed him off to tro and bread to form what I like to call the French bread pizza line .Any way what if the locker room is fractured because of the way trouba handled himself every one knows Kreider should have been named Captain they pick trouba instead and no one knew why.After His game 6 3 goals in 9 minutes the post online were everything from Captain Kreider to that’s My captain .Then a rumor floated around rangers town the it was Galant who picked Trouba because he had to much power .What if the fractured had been building since the captaincy pick and then what trouba pulled this year hamstringing the front office is that NHL captain like no .I agree something is wrong but I think people are missing the fact Kreider put up 40 32 39 he has 9 but i bet he hits at least 30 goals .Rangers are having trouble scoring now who replaces kreiders goals
Mika,Miller and Trouba are the biggest problems and they must be traded Mika/Trouba have NMC but that doesn’t mean they can’t move them because the Rangers can suspend them if they decline a trade
I’m a big fan of Keandre and Mika, I think they need to hang onto them both. Trouba is a good fit for the team but his AAV is hard to maneuver around. He is the one they will likely move if they can find a trade partner
Biggest problem with the NY Rangers for the last 6 years is that Trouba is even considered a top 4 defenseman. Let alone he has been primarily top line defenseman with the amount of minutes he has been allowed to play. JD and Gorton not only screwed the pooch on the trade for Trouba. Giving away Neil Pionk and giving back the first round pick they got only a few months prior in the Hayes trade. And they traded for Trouba after the season ended and less than 2 weeks before he would have been a restricted free agent. What in the world were they thinking? I believe it was guilt after Winnipeg dumped Hayes for just a fifth round pick to Philly. Always loved JD but in the Rangers front office he messed a lot of things up. Panarin's deal is horrible cap wise as well and if you are gonna give Panarin all that why in the world would you in the same summer give Trouba what they gave him? Horrible just horrible and Trouba has done nothing to improve himself on the ice.
As someone who doesn't follow the rags closely, I think finding a way to get Zibanejad out for another slumping player who could pick it up with a new team would do wonders. Miller is fine when he isn't with Trouba. Laf, Chytil, and the other kids are bringing it. Hope y'all go deep this season 🤙
@@jimmyhockey Jimmy how is he good ? If a Ranger scores a goal and he's on ice , they should be credited with a short-handed goal..He's useless ..slowest skater , worst puck handler ..all he does is cheap shot's checks after the guy already passed puck ..Don't know any Ranger fan's that like him ..except for the 2 clowns announcing game ...

As a leaf fan I’d love to see Krieder play for the leafs. However I doubt it’ll happen because of his contract and I doubt New York is gonna wanna retain some of that contract and it wouldn’t work otherwise
I think every team would love Kreider and I agree I think he will stay with the rangers and that this is more of an energy sparkler to get the team to play harder
“biggest stars” and “Jacob Trouba” don’t belong in the same sentence
Chytil has been great he’s just injured all the time
12-6-1? Cry me a damn river, from a Sens fan that was supposed to do something and we are still in the bottom, I don’t feel bad for them
This guys just a tool baiting everything anyone ever said to get views absolute leech
I feel for you. Sens will turn it around
lol I chuckled at this
I saw this same comment on a short also about the rangers situation, idk if it was you but damn you sens fans are letting us hear it lol
This isnt a playoff team. No hunger and no passion to win. Drury was too complacent and not holding them accountable to results. You cant blame the coach this time.
First also I’m a big rangers fan
Thanks for watching LGR!
@@jimmyhockeyno way you replied I’m your biggest fan
The team plays with a lack of Hustle and Spirit and what has led to this we will never know but it's like the team is pulling a Mutiny for some sort of reason. We know they're not tired you can see that it's more like a i don't care for now act. I love my team i don't like what's happening.
Yeah it’s a problem for a lot of teams who get deep into the playoffs. It’s hard to go through the grind again when you were so close
miller and mika are ghosts on the ice and nyr is playing dman roulette with mancini and jones......who id argue are better than miller right now. I liked berards performance the other night and hope he stays at nyr and doesnt go back to hartford. but in general we need more from laf and bread and to get mika to perform outside of the penalty kill which is all hes got right now.......ive watched him go dormant on the ice trying to set up a one timer several times (at the worst possible times ill add) and its just sad to watch man.
Not a cup year, let’s put it that way
I wouldn’t say that, this very roster made the ECF last year, maybe they will go on a run
No player on that New York Rangers roster should be safe. Not a single one. This roster needs to be dismantled and a rebuild is necessary.
This may be a bit of an overreaction
I’m sorry but anyone who thinks this team can still make it and doesn’t need an overhaul is respectfully very wrong. This team just does not have it. They didn’t last year either but on the back of Igor and some lucky streaks
I think that’s a stretch, they have a solid team that made it all the way to the ECF
if igor were to sign with a different team in the off-season, which teams would be a possibility?
Gotta be teams with a lot of cap space because he is looking for a big pay day
Hey I’d rather be Rangers fan than an Islanders fan. At least the Rangers have sniffed success in recent memory. The Islanders haven’t even won a division title since the 80s.
Lowkey both teams have had similar stories, multiple conference finals but no cups to show, rangers are in a much better position roster wise but they both have had their struggles
Play rempe and Mancini !
Rempe🐐
I think they could try to trade for Granlund
Would you do Kreider for Granlund? Doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade
@ I’d say they should try to sell Zibanejad and trade some picks for Granlund. He would allow them to pay Shesterkin and Lafreniere as well due to his lower salary. And Granlund is really underrated. An amazing passer with a lethal shot.
No one wants Trouba's contract, RIP NY.
People would take him he’s a good player
Mika just needs to go DJ I can tell he has no interest in playing nhl hockey the leadership is invisible I’m ready for the younger core and new players to takeover it’s been tiring for years now and I’m glad it’s finally exposed people thought real Ranger fans was negative for saying the flaws now look where we are 😂😂
The young core just doesn’t exist outside of Laf, chytil and Kakko have not proven to be anything but 3rd line players
Cuylle is a fuckin demon idk what you’re watching… Kakko is playing lights out hockey.
@@criddlexd who says I haven’t been watching will cuylle carry this team I’m fully aware that he’s been good so what’s next the top line players are performing too huh 😂😂😂
@@jimmyhockey the way the top line been going about it lately I would have no complaints putting cuylle chytil kakko and lafreniere on the first or second line laffy even should be on the first line powerplay a lot more as well
While lots of my fellow Avs fans consider this heresy, the trade I'd like to see harkens back to the earliest days of the Avs in Colorado. It's a hockey trade that would send shockwaves through the league. Igor Shesterkin straight up for Mikko Rantanen (with about $3.5 million retained by Colorado to make it work for both on the cap). Both are on expiring deals (Igor at 5.8, Mikko at 9.25), and they both want about the same $12 to $14 million to re-sign. Avs have a serious G problem (last time a team had a 0.855 save percentage, they went 10-70-4), and the Rangers seem to need an upgrade in forward skill and consistency. Could be a win-win hockey trade. The history lesson is that in the Avs 1st season in Colorado they traded for the best goalie of the time (perhaps ever) in Saint Patrick of Roy and at the hight of his powers he was paid by the Avs an amount, adjusted for inflation, of nearly $14m/yr. That trade brought balance to the team.
fire Chis Drury ASAP 🏒
I don't think that trading Chris Kreider is the answer. I think if they trade their Captain, Jacob Trouba, it'll send A Shock to all of the other players. Let me know what you think
I agree that Trouba is the better move, however trading your long time fan favorite player will send a bigger message about accountability. I don’t think they should trade him but it would be more impactful
Kreider is not going to be moved, I’d say the report is complete garbage. Trouba is first to go, after that it’s lindren. Kreider is not moveable. Brings too much. This is regular season. Kreider
Been saying for 2 years Mika, Trouba and Kreider needed to go. They dont play physically(trouba does but so many other problems).
Trouba needs to go, Mika and kreider are fine. Just another season for them.
Mika and Krieder are good players and so is Trouba. The issue with Troubs is the contract, he’s making to much which is preventing the team from addressing areas of need
@@jimmyhockey I can't watch them completely no show the playoffs again. They don't have the grit/heart for it anymore. Can't keep relying on our goalies to bail us out every game.
@@criddlexd Mika has been declining for the last few years 💀
I don't think they really have any choice. If they lose Shesty, not only will they lose a ton more games, they'll also get roasted by their expectant fanbase. The Rangers don't really rebuild so it's probably about time for them to move contracts and try to reload.
I don’t even think a reload is necessary, this is their worst hockey right now and they are still well above .500 wait til they turn things on again the team should be okay without having to make drastic changes
@@jimmyhockey True, it's possible, but then they have to count on being able to offer Igor the most $ out of everyone. Maybe that will work out!
Good script but this guys lisp drives me crazy
It’s a long season.
Facts
What’s the point of putting text in your thumbnail when u cover it with a human head ? Genius 🎉😂
🎉
Damn so is Trouba only good for big hits?
Trouba has to be more than just a hitter, the team needs him to be a two-way defenseman, but he's definitely a force to be reckoned with physically.
Yes, dirty hits. That’s all
Mika is done.
Krieder stays. He’s a money player.
Agreed, culture is going to change and that means someone is going
IF THEY TRADE KREIDER WE RIOT
Yeah he is a fan favorite for sure
Yes. Kreider isn’t the problem. But getting rid of him might make Mika want to leave.🤞
@ your video was not bad but may I suggest you said you can look at it thru 2 lights but there is a 3rd light .The locker room being fractured .Chris Kreider has been a rangers legend has mentored lots of these kids now and before .Je speaks russian so he took buch under his wing.He took laff under his wing handed him off to tro and bread to form what I like to call the French bread pizza line .Any way what if the locker room is fractured because of the way trouba handled himself every one knows Kreider should have been named Captain they pick trouba instead and no one knew why.After His game 6 3 goals in 9 minutes the post online were everything from Captain Kreider to that’s My captain .Then a rumor floated around rangers town the it was Galant who picked Trouba because he had to much power .What if the fractured had been building since the captaincy pick and then what trouba pulled this year hamstringing the front office is that NHL captain like no .I agree something is wrong but I think people are missing the fact Kreider put up 40 32 39 he has 9 but i bet he hits at least 30 goals .Rangers are having trouble scoring now who replaces kreiders goals
Smurfs 2. Smurfs dont win championships.
No one in this comment section can tell me what they just watched dosnt make any sense it’s like Greta making a video about hockey
I’d put money this kids never played any competitive hockey over A
@@SirrJDubsrangers suck peen buddy keep shouting into the void
They looked great in their trip to Alberta. Oh wait, no they didn't. Oilers smoked em.
Yeah not a great game for em
Emily 😍😍🥰
She’s a beauty
bro the rangers are 12-7
Yeah that’s why management is talking about changes
Mika,Miller and Trouba are the biggest problems and they must be traded Mika/Trouba have NMC but that doesn’t mean they can’t move them because the Rangers can suspend them if they decline a trade
I’m a big fan of Keandre and Mika, I think they need to hang onto them both. Trouba is a good fit for the team but his AAV is hard to maneuver around. He is the one they will likely move if they can find a trade partner
lol please trade Mika
Biggest problem with the NY Rangers for the last 6 years is that Trouba is even considered a top 4 defenseman. Let alone he has been primarily top line defenseman with the amount of minutes he has been allowed to play. JD and Gorton not only screwed the pooch on the trade for Trouba. Giving away Neil Pionk and giving back the first round pick they got only a few months prior in the Hayes trade. And they traded for Trouba after the season ended and less than 2 weeks before he would have been a restricted free agent. What in the world were they thinking? I believe it was guilt after Winnipeg dumped Hayes for just a fifth round pick to Philly. Always loved JD but in the Rangers front office he messed a lot of things up. Panarin's deal is horrible cap wise as well and if you are gonna give Panarin all that why in the world would you in the same summer give Trouba what they gave him? Horrible just horrible and Trouba has done nothing to improve himself on the ice.
"6 years" lol tell us you don't watch hockey without telling us 😆
You can’t move zibanejad. The worst player on the team. So it literally doesn’t matter at all.
This is complete recency bias, he has a bad stretch and now he’s no good. Cmon now
@ he’s a powerplay merchant. Whole team is really.
TL;DR
They're bad.
Jacob Truba is a Jerk...Don't Like or Respect that Guy One Bit...
Seems like a good guy, just a physical hockey player
As someone who doesn't follow the rags closely, I think finding a way to get Zibanejad out for another slumping player who could pick it up with a new team would do wonders. Miller is fine when he isn't with Trouba. Laf, Chytil, and the other kids are bringing it. Hope y'all go deep this season 🤙
I think Mika will pick things up, he’s not down that bad and he’s very important to their powerplay
Trouba the least talented Hockey player I have ever seen ...and he's the Captain
That’s a stretch, he’s a good player but just not what the Rangers need with Fox and miller being the 1 and 2 options
Jimmy, do you watch Ranger games?
@@jimmyhockey Jimmy how is he good ? If a Ranger scores a goal and he's on ice , they should be credited with a short-handed goal..He's useless ..slowest skater , worst puck handler ..all he does is cheap shot's checks after the guy already passed puck ..Don't know any Ranger fan's that like him ..except for the 2 clowns announcing game ...
what’s really wrong ? Get rid of Drury He brings Nothing to the table and only causes problems within the team
He’s done a good job bringing in free agents and some of the draft picks are starting to pan out, honestly I think he’s done a relatively solid job
