Take taxes out of the equation? I’m downing the blue…no water
Fuck your math equations. I don’t know how long I got on this rock.
I smoke cigarettes and pet stray dogs
Give me the sure fire money…Imma invest most of it…still work…and take out what I want when I want
@reporterchris Knew it. They loaded up for one last “hoorah”…as a Rangers fan I hope it blows up in their face but I do agree and appreciate the strategy as a hockey fan
@NYRLouie Think we need to see next year’s product. He constructed this in such a way that if healthy we should compete for a playoff spot (to hell with the negativity). But if we don’t make it we have more tradable pieces now. He’s just been so bad I can’t bend the knee just yet
@NYRLouie I didn’t love everything yesterday and I still have questions about this team. But he did the following
1. Added a 40 goal potential scorer
2. Revamped our second pair
3. Bettered our prospect pool
4. Bettered our overall team to compete next year
He did fine…A-/B+ for sure
@NYRLouie I don’t like number 1 on the surface because A) I don’t think Pettersson is capable of handling top pair minutes effectively and B) Gav is much less efficient without Fox
BUT
I think part of B) is because of the partners he has. Durzi is an upgrade over Schneider or Borgen
@PhilKocher Agreed BUT I have a feeling they give Robertson the rub and let Smits start in AHL
Before today I would hate that thought but with the 2nd pairing vastly improving I think they might want him to get some more seasoning to start
And if it helps his long term development I’m game
@JLazzy23 The way I see it we are essentially are the same down the middle because a lot of last year had Laba at 3C…adding puck moving D like Pettersson and Durzi is big…Bjorkstrand and Dorofeyev can help scoring scoring…but the big thing is being healthy…rarely were fully healthy
@NYRLouie Assuming health this team is gonna fight for third in the metro or a WC spot…I still think CAR and WSH are obviously better but I don’t see why then it can’t be this team
NYR haters and those in the fanbase dead set on a total tear down would argue otherwise but fuck it
@Peter_Baugh Don’t love that third line but this is just a such a refreshing turnaround…with Smits, Greentree, Morrow, Beau, and Fortescue lurking in Hartford to boot
Now just don’t give Schneider a long term deal and I’m happy
@NYRLouie Condition kinda blows because Bruins ain’t making a conference file by 2028 but we shred $4.1M
Gotta think we’re keeping Schneider now which is whatever because he’s gonna be on the third pair where he’s more efficient…please be a bridge deal tho nothing long term
@NYRLouie I kinda hate it because I don’t think that highly of Pettersson (mainly because of last season) but mainly because while I’m not a rebuild it guy I don’t love trading 1sts so far out because you don’t know what you’ll be
That being said top 10 protect helps
@NYRLouie That thing I said about Grier being irresponsible with the Marchment contract…double that and give it to the next guy
Holy fuck Grier needs his phone taken away
