Wait, is the stereotype that they were a heavy team now? I thought it was that they are all offense, no defense?

LA was a heavy team.. they beat the Rangers in the Finals that year.
You need to have a physical presence in the playoffs, its a long tough road

For 90% of the year that they finished 8th in the Conference and won the Cup, I don't think many people think they had a shot then either.


I think they are an interesting team. I don't think they are a true Cup contender, but they have some pedigree and now have Quick back (not to mention Bishop), so I guess you never know.

I agree, but I'm looking at it more from Iginla's point of view. This really may be his last real chance for a cup. Why agree on waiving your NTC to go to LA? I doubt the Kings are the only team calling Colorado about his availability.

Go to #30 in this list. Did LA really sign this guy to a long term contract? With his health history and age? Did I miss something?

yeah, Gaborik's contract is awful

I don't believe EK, but if for some reason Barrie is available, I would be seriously interested in that.

you wouldn't be interested in including Skjei though right?

Yup at around $4.5 million per year I think. When they signed him to it, I would assume that they though they were getting a break on the annual salary in exchange for more years.

it was right after he scored 14 goals in the playoffs

Maybe we can get Barrie as part of the Stepan for Duchene trade.

True but the Rangers also lost 3 games in OT, 2 in double OT, those games could of easily gone the other way. Also the non goalie interference penalty in Game 2

I hate that question....

Not me. I was all for it. Sell high. I do not think he has much more to offer than what we've already seen.
- mames11

He's a very good defenseman and would get us a haul.

I don't think there's a chance they'd move Skjei for anything at this point, he literally has become the best story of the NYR 2016-17 season

I agree. Rangers are heavy on the left side though. I would wonder if they could do something with a forward, picks and someone on D other than Skjei.

I just think Barrie fixes a gigantic glaring hole on the right side, and if there are offers Rangers need to be in on them.

Per @NYRangers head coach Alain Vignault, Jasper Fast out 2-3 weeks with an upper body injury (shoulder)

They got a 4th rounder for Iginla....

Miller - Skjei - Hayes
The three guys I've said they can build upon moving forward and I wouldnt trade any of them

Grabner took a crosscheck in hip from Clendening at practice, left early. Vigneault said call-up might be needed for tomorrow. #NYR
