Yeah, pretty much sums everything up lol. I'm not honestly sure where the Rangers will finish but I'm looking forward to watching it, more so if they give the prospects some chances to prove themselves throughout the season.

@delsanravelvetheart4365 Have you heard anything on Ben Harpur? I'm still hoping we'll have Harpur, Mackey and Mancini: as our depth of big, strong, tough defensemen. This team is gonna' need it.

@@tbonet859 I'm not sure, I know Mancini and Mackey will be given some pre-season minutes. Harpur I haven't heard much about him. Stall will have Mancini in the NHL in two years tops.

I’ve been thinking this. Maybe exactly what he needs to breakout and then I’d consider our forward core completely rounded out. Having the right wing locked down with Laffy, Kakko, Smith, and Rempe. That’s all assuming that kaapo can gel with bread and Troch. But his size, handling, a strong play against the boards could help out the top six quite a bit. Just unfortunately didn’t mesh with Mika and Kreids.

That's sounds about right, honestly. Too many 'what if's' are in place for the Rangers to finish at the top of the metro division this season. Salary cap issues being the biggest problem to overcome, followed by awful defensive play. Rangers have too many Offensive minded defensemen and that killed them during the Panthers series.

I love Igor but not at a price tag of anything over 12 million dollars. Igor makes 6.5 atm I believe. If he gets an extension with over 12 mill per season The Rangers will be over the cap.

Legendary goalies don’t win cups

Hopefully a deal gets done soon

I agree

The problem with waiting is he could just end up going in free agency and signing for more with another team

@TrenurSports I know , part of me says let him if we don't get to the finals at least . The rangers might have to build a team that doesnt rely solely on their tendy when their big money "stars" dissappear in big games.

If they wait until offseason & lets say rangers win the stanley cup, he will undoubtedly win conn smythe trophy & possibly other hardware from regular season & then you will have to pay him the Draisaitl contract or let him walk which would be the end of rangers playoff success

@lancemartin1836 I understand all that , if we win the cup I'm OK with most consequences, I was a sophomore in high school in 94 I'd like another before I die.

​@@Ddeamorin It's true. Since the Bread and Trouba deals alone eat up around 22 to 23 percent of the Rangers current cap. Rangers logically can't afford to take on another big contract as of right now. I agree with you, doing that would cripple there cap for the next three seasons, at the very least. People have to step away from just being a fan and also look at it from a business standpoint.

Hopefully it's around the $10m-$11m range I don't see it being any lower unfortunately

It’s the NYR. We could finish dead last and teams will always have us circled on their calendars. MSG. The history

I just don't wanna see Chytil go down again. Poor guy, enough is enough just retire already for your health and family.

@delsanravelvetheart4365 Right. None of us do. However, how can we even consider or mention Filip as a solution, for this team's problems? Knowing his physical fragile state of being? Sorry, makes no sense to me. I simply do not understand many of the fanbase's though processes.

@@tbonet859 Agreed, his last concussion he suffered was falling on the ice during a non-contact practice. All the signs are there, Chytil just needs to give it up. Also, I do not know how people can actually include him as a part of any future plan. If he plays this season, I fear the worse for Chytil. Not to mention, peca's faceoff coaching style for the center is to get really low and you see them fall head first sometimes. Vinny and Mika did that often last year due to there weight leaning forward while low before the puck drop. For Chytil to do that is almost asking for something bad to happen.

@delsanravelvetheart4365 Absolutely. I don't want to see Filip take a hit and convulse on the ice. Worry about his health and long term life. Post Concussion Disorder is horrible. I personally know this, first hand. But for Filip to continue risking the possibility of CTE, is exponentially more dangerous and scary.

We need a 3rd line center so I don't see Chytil being moved

While I don't dislike Trouba, his production has fallen off, both offensively and defensively. Rangers really need to bring some new blood on the defense. The only ones I have faith in is Foxy and Schneider, the rest I'm on the fence about. I'd love to see either Mackey or Robertson make the opening Rangers seasons roster. Fox and Jones will always be limited on defense, nothing you can really do about that. Miller was a forward until college so I did have "some" expectations for Miller to get better on defense. I've seen brief flashes from Miller but not nearly enough. The problem is, the Rangers don't have effective defensive defensemen on the team. Which is the Rangers biggest weakness as a team overall. Also, I'm hard on any player, just being there on the team I root, doesn't give them a pass. If anything, I'll be harder on them, then other players around the league.

@delsanravelvetheart4365 I don't understand how Trouba has decided in defensive play. Guy blocks a million shots, breaks up a million plays, breaks up a million pass attempts, and repeatedly snuffs out opponent's attempted high danger scoring chances🤷 With all due respect: this narrative Rangers fans have been regurgitating; is absurdly exaggerated. Too many Rangers fans simply don't want to admit that their darlings ( Fox & Lindgren), along with Miller: are largely accountable for a majority of the defensive trainwrecks and breakdowns. As I stated a while back: everyone, please, go watch the game hightlights from Games 5 & 6 against the Panthers: right here on youtube...the 8 - 9 minute highlights videos. Watch the defensive breakdowns. The complete absence of defensive awareness: that led to high scoring chances and the back breaking/ series ending goals. Take note of who is on the ice, 98% of the time. Then please come back and let us talk some reality.

@@tbonet859 I'll give you the blocked shots. He has been good at that since becoming a Ranger. He was in the top 3 in total blocked shots in the NHL, last year. Didn't check the end of the NHL season block totals count. He just drives me nuts when he lines someone up for a hit, Which I do like, taking him out of the play when he misses, which I don't like. I don't expect anything from Fox, when it comes to defensive play. Miller should just become a forward again, I think he'd be effective as a forward on the main PP, blocking the goalie view and he does have good hands, his passing is ok. He needs to work on the timing of his passes better when exiting the Rangers zone. Miller is 6"5 and refuses to use his big body effectively on defense, which again, drives me nuts. Both Mackey and Robertson have better defensive awareness then most of the Rangers currently on the active roster. Plus, they know how to play physical hockey. Rangers still haven't fixed the defensive issues so were in for a long season folks lol. However, I don't really blame Trouba for lining people up. Otherwise, half of the Rangers physical play would not exist as Trouba played the most physical type of hockey last season.

Marc Stall got hired today by the Rangers to be a player development assistant. So that should be interesting. It could help the kids on the defensive end by giving some pointers as he was a solid defensemen during his career. So that's some good news.

@delsanravelvetheart4365 It's not just blocked shots. He snuffs out opponents attacking: in several ways, as I described up above. Been watching him do it all, since he got here.

I appreciate it! Hopefully they get it done. We can only hope.

The west got a lot better, that's for sure. You can never count out Connor Mcdavid. As long as he's on the Oilers they've got a great chance at winning the Presidents Trophy ever year. Vancouver is an interesting team. Hiring Rick Tocchet two year ago ended up being a very smart move, which did honestly surprised me by how fast he turn the Canucks around. Nashville is hard to place, I feel like they underperform often. Even though they still have good seasons. For me, Nashville is the hardest team to figure out. With the overall talent on that team, they should be having 50+ win seasons.

@delsanravelvetheart4365 Nashville went hard at free agent time I expect them have a good year if their goaltending holds up.

No shot. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for that to happen and would 100% be at the celebration in the city but let's be real, Rangers don't have the defense to win a Cup. I wouldn't be surprised if Mackey or Robertson get called up at some point, same with other prospects this season. Chytil for sure is going to go down at some point, no doubt about that. So there will be plenty of chances for some of the prospects to showcase there talent

Solid comparisons

Nice list

Seems like he'll be fully healthy for the upcoming season which is good

I think so as well

Luke is going to be a better defenseman. The only problem is the Devils also has Nemec who has potential through the roof to be a top D in the league. Somehow Hamilton is ranked but he missed the entire fucking season and is the main reason the Devils weren't competitive.

Get off of Foxes Balls dude Macavoy out classes hit check the stats b4 you say stupid shit

I agree Fox is better I've said it for a while

I disagree he may not be physical but that's the only area he isn't good in

@@TrenurSports That's a pretty important area for a top pair D-man !!!

Lol .... I just made the same exact comment !!!! Then I saw yours .... Every year he's always talked about and so overrated, not by like a whole lot, but way too much. Then he is by several spots. He shouldn't have even really hit the top 10. He's big. He's a thick kid. And I like him because he's from Long Island it lives near me and he's in crazy New York ranger saying, but still I mean It just seems more of like he's good defensive shutdown type guy. And I have seen his offense flashes, and they are good, but not consistent. Idk why he gets talks about so much. He doesn't put up like point per game numbers or anything. I don't know. They just talk about way too much like he's. Uh, you know, top 3 defensive guy, I don't know. Where they get this stuff from, when i'm watching the NHL NETWORK , ECT ..., I don't know what i'm missing ???? Lol

@@beukeboom3879 Nothing. He is a top 20, and can do things at both ends, but he will never be a top points producer, or be a top shut down guy, or even a big time body checker. He's just rounded. But boy do the media guys drool over him.

I agree
