Hang the banner. The Rangers might have had a good off season!!!!

Tuchel what the hell man. All time cowardly performance

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

I’ve never jived with Pronman’s analysis in general but he’s got to at least provide some context. Bad skating is too broad.

Straight line speed? Edge work? Use your words man

[Vince Z. Mercogliano @vzmercogliano]

Things got a little spicy while @coreypronman, @scottcwheeler and @chrismpeters were debating the upside of Gabe Perreault!

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

@scottcwheeler Thank you for your service Scott. Important battle here 🫡

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

@AdamZHerman But realistically what is his ceiling or best case scenario? A 2nd pair guy with above average PK ability?

He’s maybe over qualified for a 3rd pair role but haven’t seen enough for anything more.

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

He gone, maybe not before the season but would be pretty shocked if he’s here after the trade deadline

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Braden Schneider, signed 1x$5.5M by NYR, is a right-handed defenceman with solid physical tools including size and decent mobility. Played top four minutes last season but they did not go very well.

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

@NYRChip23 He’ll be 38 and as much as they want to be competitive, he’ll take a spot on PP1 that should go to Laf and/or Gabe

At a certain point age will catch up and frankly don’t think it’s something that’s necessary.

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

I’d rather stick forks in my eyes than watch a geriatric Kane lug around

Hard pass

[Chip23 @NYRChip23]

From the column:

“Analysis: I’ve heard we shouldn’t rule out the Rangers adding another forward this summer. Drury hinted at that, as well.”

I’m really thinking Kane on a one year deal.

#NYR lost a lot of guys known as solid mentors over the last week. Kane would address that

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

Durzi over Borgen
Pettersson over the pylons from last year

Still need another forward but we move

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

The Rangers are better than they were last year

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

Pavel Dorofeyev

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

Not a bad deal but no thanks on the player

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

We did it Joe

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Mario Ferraro, signed 3x$4M by WPG, is a defenceman who has had some very strange results the past few seasons in a matchup role for San Jose. I think he profiles as a Ceci type mobile defender but god knows.

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

Listen, Drury has done well. But by no means is he out of the dog house yet.

Still need another piece or two but he’s earned some respect

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

Petterson-Durzi
Not bad!!!!

[Peter Baugh @Peter_Baugh]

Vincent Trocheck has been traded to Utah for Sean Durzi, Cole Beaudoin (2024 first rounder) and a 2027 third, per league source.

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

WE NEED TRADE ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH FULL DETAILS

I AM TRYING TO WORK

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

OH WOW

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Vincent Trocheck to Utah

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

If you wanted to go into this season with Robertson, Smits, Vak, and Fortescue as your options. Be my guest.

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

Wouldn’t shock me if Sullivan pulled some strings to get Drury onboard with this

Perfectly fine for 2LD, allow for Robertson/Smits to rotate on the 3rd pair

[dom 📈 @domluszczyszyn]

Rangers add a legit top-four defenseman in Marcus Pettersson. Like this a lot for them

[Jon @JohnnyLu12]

@OhRyanMead Me thinks Sullivan had a lot of pull here
