How on Earth did Brendan Smith shake JG down for a NTC?
That's a great question, luckily it's a pretty loose NTC - he can basically pick half the league that he won't go to. Best bet with him is that he has a good year, and we deal him as a depth defenseman to a contender that's dealing with some injuries.

I actually think Smith will wake up this year. He was intense and relentless in the playoffs of 2017. He has to have that somewhere. He got benched after a few games last season and he really was not the worst guy on the ice at the time (Holden/Staal). I think AV was so desperate for offense, he let Holden and even Kampfer play ahead of Smith. Smith could really be a steadying influence if he finds his game. If that happens, he could return some decent assets at the trade deadline.
I hope so also, this would be best case scenario (how he played after we traded for him). Even if he plays up to that level he's still going to be pretty overpaid so unless he becomes a totally different player I think he should still be traded at the deadline. If we were a different team in a different scenario he might have a place, but he does not fit this team moving forward.
Never got pissed when a pitcher walked guys? Never got mad when a teammate made an error? Never got frustrated when a pitcher threw a wild pitch? Never got mad when someone struck out looking with runners on base? And on and on and on....
No.... your high school baseball team all were having fun all the time.....
That's because AV was their coach...they all had fun

Livin the dream! Whether he's here for a cup of coffee or 10+ seasons.... he's going to say he was the coach of The New York Rangers, and was able to walk to and from work every day (if he wanted to.) He gets to live in the heart of the world. Good for him.
Right off the bat I say he does things the right way

He's a top player in the KHL, and has been trying to come to the NHL for a few years now.... If he ends up signing, it would be the 3rd RW free agent The Rangers brought over from a Euro league this Summer.
Ville Meskanen of Liiga, Finnish hockey league
Michael Lindqvist from the SHL
and now
Sergei Shumakov from the KHL seems to be at least ready to come to the NHL. If rumors are true, we should be getting an announcement any day now... if not today... that he is the newest Red Arny Ranger
I don't know how reliable the source is, but Panrin could be a reality.
Panrin Chytil Kravtsov
Soviets....
When did Chytil become Russian?
He's not, Czech is a neighbor though, with clearly a long history... warsaw.....
lol - hope you don't teach geography. Warsaw, Poland
Yeah. I was refering to the defence pact uniting the Soviet Union with it's satellite countries in response to NATO.... like then Czechoslovakia.... It's informally refered to as just Warsaw, or The Warsaw Treaty.
Cold War stuff....
Which is why I didn't mean anything insulting by calling them all collectively "soviets".... technically none of them are soviets, as there's no such thing as the USSR anymore....
A first-round pick next year along with some current roster players would have to go the other way for the deal to be made.
This shouldn’t be too hard of a deal to make for the Rangers, talent-wise. If the team is still in the rebuilding frame of mind, this is a no-brainer of a deal to make. Almost every player should be available to be discussed for the deal to be completed.
Unless the Rangers are in first place at the deadline, they would have to be bat s#it crazy to make this deal. Especially knowing that Panarin is UFA at the end of the season and wants to play in NY. I understand the need to find a hockey story during this long and boring offseason, but give me a break.

Gorton should be fired on the spot if he does it...That bat chit crazy

Not sure what to think here...we gave up 2 picks and McQuaid is a UFA
Picks that rarely pan out. He's a different type that the Rangers don't have and will undoubtedly replace one of Vigneaults figure skaters. Interesting and telling the Rangers bringing in this type of player. Quinn gets a physical presence, he obviously wanted.
