Think the biggest splash Rangers make in the offseason is signing Marchessault . Don’t see it being as big as a offseason as many Ranger fans are thinking. Think Mika Kreider and Trouba all stay.
Forgive, but J.M. Is a bit up there in age. Because they have young wingers coming thru, if they can't get a 1st line winger/big body , they will try F.C. on the wing. Kappo will have to go to get in a D man in . That opens the line for Othman, maybe Perrault maybe...So simply, they will sign the RFAs first , then get a center. Goodrow may have to go because of the cap. and his heavy salary for a 4th liner. Unless he can revive his reg season play and move back up to third. But I don't see it. I think they would like a younger tougher all around player in that spot next to Will. 🍸
Outhit. Leaning into someone is not a hit. Gotta be real and deal with it. Physicality. Grit and role players WIN in the playoffs. Especially deeper into the playoffs. Rangers are built for the season. A game here or there, you steal one. Their culture needs to change. Start drafting differently. Size and grit. Not finesse with high goal potential.
Lets face it, they may have "outhit" the Cats, but early in the series, the hits they were RECEIVING took all the wind out of their sails. Remember Vesey shoulder seperated, Trochek and Mika, getting leveled on blindside hits? Those were HITS, not the bump in the corners that we got credit for. Even Rempe didn't land one good solid hit. Oh, smart move putting in Shyt-il, with all his bonecrushing contributions !

Moving Trouba while he has any semblance of value should be a priority. Rangers won’t win the cup with him as captain eating up all the important minutes.
The biggest change the Rangers can make is separating Mika and Kreider. They have tried everybody as a RW and nobody has worked. Marchessault won’t work either work either.

If we re-sign, and plan on keeping, all of our RFAs then we will only be able to fill holes using our AHL guys. And the guys we would want to trade away to free up cap like Trouba and Goodrow will be difficult to move.
How about....we put Laffy up with Mika and Krieder, move Kappo with Panarin and Troch. It was them that drug the talent out of Laffy. Chytil third line center with Cully(spelling) and Brodzinsky, and Endstrom, Rempe, and Wennburge as a shut down 4th line. I think all these players can be "tough" enough. Just have to change the attitude in game play.
I believe the Rangers are fine and the coaches were the reason they fell short this year. They knew Florida was a physical team that likes to dump and smash the boards…low scoring games with a lot of board work…so instead of playing Rempe in game 1 to fire up the Garden Crowd they decide to sit him..big mistake..Florida was teeing off on the boards and the Rangers started to shoot the puck up the wall instead of controlling it and skating it out. Rempe’s benefit to the team is if a physical team like Florida dumps the puck and makes plays off them they have to worry while they’re digging it out.. are they about to be crushed by Rempe..which leads to mistakes..instead it was the Rangers shooting the puck up the boards to the waiting Florida player. Playing Wheeler in game 4 with a 2-1 lead was ridiculous..hardly playing Rempe because of the fear of penalties…not to smart..putting Trouba on the first line when he obviously wasn’t fully recovered yet..really? When Florida wins the cup..maybe they’ll understand how bad their coaching decisions were.
@@vincentmittica9001??? Mika never leaving bud so cry about shahahahahshh same with panerin and krider deal with panerin never never leaving top 5 player
a Ranger fan.... But I think I can help Ranger fan on this one... You definitely need legit first and second line centers to actually win the stanley Cup.... Mika and Freddy Mercury will not take you to Disneyland...
Rangers are the nice guys of the league .. Get flattened and pawed in the face and want to take the guy who did it out to dinner .. NICE guys finish 4th
#1 Get rid of Trouba. Dude is a huge liability every time on the ice. His positioning is atrocious, he adds nothing on the offensive side of the ice and takes way too many penalties. Getting rid of him must be priority number 1 because I don't think there is a defensman in the league that could adequately cover up his constant mistakes. #2 Look to trade Mika while he still has some value. He disappears every year when the pressure is on. Panarin does not do much better in the playoffs, but he carries the team during the regular season. Mika's numbers are a mirage. Over the last 2 years 43% of his points came on the PP. At his salary, his even strength numbers are severely inadequate. replace him on PP1 with Laff who unlike Mika only had 10.5% of his points come on the PP. See if you can flip Mika for a better 2 way Center or a top 4 Dman, use the extra Salary cap space to sign whichever you do not get in the trade. #3. Trade Miller and/or Kakko if they can get something decent in return. It is clear that neither are living up to their potential. I am tired year after year hearing about that potential. Its not worth much if not put into scenarios to succeed. Miller being paired with Trouba (see above) Kakko constantly being put on non scoring lines where his strong puck possession never reaults in offense because his linemates are incapable of scoring. If they succeed in 1 and 2 above I wouldn't mind giving them one last shot, pairing Miller with Schneider or Lindgren and Kakko with Kreider and whoever they fill the 2C role with. #4. Time to see what some of the young guys can do. Bring up Otthman, bring up Berard, give Zac Jones or Robertson a legit chance at sticking with the team. Going to need to fill some key roles with cheep rookie contracts if we are forced to buy out or retain salary on Trouba, and use the cap space to give Shesty a deal plus add a 2C and top 4 D. Need to see what the young kids can do, and if they aren't up to par yet then add pieces at the deadline for the playoff push. This team has the bones. Just need to cut dead weight and add the pieces that will allow us to compete with the likes of the Panthers.
Either who ever rangers get kakko is gone and who ever they get it gonna be very good on 1st line and panerin will be with rangers for rest of career for all u panerin haters top 5 player in league
Trouba has to go. Miller has to go. Both are liabilities. Trouba especially. Outrageous cap hit. Terrible deal by Drury. Mika and Bread are fine, if Drury gets them some toughness on their lines. You think Bossy scores all those goals without support from Trottier and Gillies?
Get trouba outta here he's terrible he don't belong being the captain of the Rangers, give trocheck the captain's job he's an excellent excellent hockey player, when the Rangers signed him that got a steal he's that damn good.
Time to send out another letter.....Start by getting rid of Drury ! 8 piks in 3 yrs and nothing to show for any of those piks. How did Mikkola look at 2.5 mil for 3 yrs vs Miller 4.5 Trouba 8 Gustafson 850k
The biggest blunder Drury made was at the 2023 trade deadline. He traded for Tarasenko and Kane. Getting 1 of them was fine. However, he passed on Ryan O'Reilly and he is what the Rangers need!
rip the c off trouba, blamed his lack of performance on his ankle injury while setting the nhl record for most penalties in an off season by one player.
Break up Kreider and Mika - personally I think it’s time to ask Mika to waive his NMC. We can’t run it back - we need to make big moves to change culture even if it means moving fan favorites ( I love Mika) but I want a Cup! Buy out Troubs and shake up the core.
Rangers will never do enough to get bigger ,stronger and faster .. Hasn't changed in 30 years .. Why now.. Their solution is to cut Lindgren and replace him with another wimpy guy named Zac Jones.. All the fans know it.. But for some reason management doesn't.. Go figure
I mean Mika zib and panerin are on the team for rest of career so build around those guys if they get somone good I think they will be better next year then this year
IMO, there's a big (small) gorilla in the room that everyone just ignores - Fox. Fox had his best 2 yrs, his first 2. He hasn't been effective enough as a QB for the 5v5 in years. His value is just on PP. He's also not big, tough or physical enough. He's a liability as a Top Pair, especially with undersized Lindgren as a partner. How can you have a top D pairing with 2 guys 5'11"??? what team does that ever match up well against? Reg season you play some shitty teams, and can get away with it. NOT in playoffs. Fox is a great guy to have in regular season. FL and Canes figured him out, even Caps. He either needs to be 2d or 3d pairing in 5v5, since he's not effective anyway. This never gets talked about, its blasphemy around NYC, since he's hometown guy. But he's NOT worth the portion of the salary cap he commands. Mikola looked like a world beater against us, and he's not even a top guy.
@@shawnlewin9057 How well did he do, 5 v 5? in the playoffs, when it mattered? If he's so elite, why did the PP not score after like the 4th Canes game? His best asset is his passing. NOT defending. he is often overmatched in front and behind our net. Stop listening to Micheletti so much.
@@jeffreylewis8019 actually no, people have pointed out Trouba, Mika and Krieds deficiencies. Fox is just AVG on defense. His best defensive skill is positioning.

They have to get heavier and more physical or they are never winning a cup with this current roster no matter how many times they run it back.
K’andre Miller has to realize his role is not being a skills defender but take on more of an enforcer role
enforcer ?? no , more physical play , yes
