Lol so much fail I don’t know where to begin I’ll try though So your goal is to sell off pieces in an ok draft year to make quicker your “rebuild on the fly”? Uhhh ok Then you talk up those players saying how good they are (not just Krider and Mcd) but in general are better. You do realize that will keep them from being really bad and getting a better draft spot. As bad as the devils were the past few years they weren’t even last in the nhl and had to win the lotto to move up. So there goes your logic on “tanking” since the rangers are so much better esp cause they won playoff games? Ok. I agree mcd is on a good contract but he has one year left after this season lol. Yeah I’m sure teams are going to be lining up to toss the world at you for one year. Buffalo is going to give up their first (which will be a top 10) Reinhardt annnnd a prospect? To have mcd there for a year before he hits ufa? Lol I agree Montreal might be interested but guess what they aren’t a bottom 10 team! Great get their first round pick it won’t be top 10 like you claim lol. But Colorado and Vancouver coming off amazingly bad seasons are going to say yeah we need that playoff performer to bring us from 30th worse to 16?!?!? Hahahahahaha I agree the Cory trade was bad but guess what that wasn’t Shero Congrats on Stepan annnnnnnnd ranta for the 7th. So what else are you giving up with krieder for a top 10 pick in a meh draft? Any day I can help you get smarter hockey wise I’m more then happy to do it. I would be more interested in shopping lundqvist which you probably think they can get drastail and the oilers first for hahahaha Btw is Anderson even playing in the nhl or is he in euro or ahl? I mean if this draft is meh compared to last year then I doubt you will see any of these top 10 picks you think your getting playing next year either right? So much for that rebuild on the fly.
AV has lost this team. I don’t care what anyone says, they don’t want to play for him. I feel like I’m watching women’s hockey with how many Rangers are avoiding checking and have all taken a page out of pussy Staal’s playbook with the weak ass poke check instead of playing the body. The fact that AV and Gorton both have a job still, yes even though it’s this early in the season, tells me that they will be here the entire year. Here’s hoping we suck enough to get a high pick and not the usual higher bullshit spot.
I'm not sure what purpose firing Gorton would serve at the moment. The usual emotional fan response of fire and trade everyone tomorrow isn't realistic or helpful.
Because moves need to be made and having a lame duck GM do those moves equates to waste moves. Look at what the Knicks did. They let Phil draft that first rounder and then fired him thereby wasting that first round pick with a GM that isn’t there anymore and the team headed in a different direction completely. But yea. You’re right. Let’s let Gorton continue to make more boneheaded moves before we get rid of him.
Fine fire the GM tonight. Who are you hiring? Plus, I don't see how he's a lame duck. Like I've said constant emotional responses of fire the world aren't realistic. Particularly during a season when you see coaches let go and not general managers.
You're not going to fire the GM, especially in season, but I now flat out say AV needs to go. I am done with him and Arniel. This team simply doesn't cover anyone in their own zone. Players have changed the past couple of seasons, but the results have not. For about 3 seasons now the Rangers have left guys wide open all over their zone. Enough is enough. At this point I think it is a combo of the players AV wants for his system are soft and don't play any D AND I don't think he really emphasizes and focuses on D and tough play in front and structure in his own zone. He is so focused on speed and quick exits that everything else falls by the waste side. I am sick and tired of seeing wide open guys all over our zone, and usually it is 2 or 3 guys all alone as we saw tonight on multiple Montreal goals. I am done with it, and Gorton has to make the move now and clean house on this staff. This is not going to turn around as is at this point. Time for a change at coach and his staff.
I don't know who is worse. AV or the Devils fans who don't know their team sucks yet much like Vegas fans. Either way, AV is finished here. Has been a long time since we have seen a season like this. I suppose it was bound to happen. Now, it's time for a quick rebuild.
