you are CRAZY

yesterday morning you are freaking out because the Rangers could lose Grabner and all the speed he replaced when they lost Hagelin

today, you are freaking because if Vegas takes Raanta, which, by the way (frank)ING SAVES GRABNER, they could trade Raanta and accumulate an asset or two.

No I wasn't going crazy about Grabner, I just stated that losing his speed sucks and too many people underestimate that, bottom line is there was opportunity and Gorton didn't take advantage, it's ok if others express opposite beliefs in your blog Jimmy, calm down

Maybe you want to mention compliance again for the millionth time

I see both sides. I lean more towards jimbos thinking though. Let them take that one person" whoever it might be" and then make your decisions on what you have and if you want to make a trade you still have the rest of the summer, but you know what you have.

If you did it before the draft you are essentially getting rid of 2 players based on fear. Not on a concrete roster.

Yea we have to give Gorton all summer before we get the pitch forks, tar and feather out. I know you will be leading the charge if Staal is still on the roster by then

Doesn't matter who they get or who they lose. Story will remain unchanged.

Its my summer dream. Unfortunately I think its 80/20 he starts the season with us.

I think you guys need to hug it out.

There are a lot more teams way more (frank)ed than the Rangers. I'd entertain paying a draft pick as incentive to take someone other than those 4 but not much. Only way I was paying a big price was if we could convince Staal to waive his NMV and they were taking Staal's contract for a 1st. That's it.


In fact, I hope Ranger's are one of these rumored teams telling Vegas to flip a player to us. (#1 choice being Dumba, Vaantan is reportedly protected via another deal). This hasn't been discussed enough.

Was that a jab at his vision?

Fast is replacebale, that's who I hope we lose, Lindberg(age and potential) and Raanta (still want to get assets for him are the two I'm most afraid of losing, Grabs is a close 2nd

Tried to fight it at first, but eventually I just let the wave wash over me. Just easier. Let the Rangers lose a player and watch them replace player X with Shane Doan.

This is me the moment Staal is traded.

I think we should be thankful he isn't trading a 1st rd pick to not select people. We could be in that boat. These teams are crazy, if he's that important to the team don't expose him. Dumbasssssssessssss

F so far opposed to "F for the summer" are literally two different things but that's part of your problem is you compound comments and exaggerate the (frank) out of them

I woulnd't mind Yoshie...but he will prob cost to much

Nope, didn't even notice.

They should grab Thornton and Jagr too so they can form the oldest line in the league.

Let's get all the ex Blues-caps connections!

"It was a ghost."

we have known for two years that the Rangers were going to lose a player wednesday, it's like people just woke up or something
- jimbo83

Wait, what? When? No way

I'd take Jagr back. Thornton can stand in front of a moving bus.

I hope you're right, if Gorton could work in our 1st for Dumba and they choose Klein would be a homerun

Clone Kreider..create the all Kreider line

He'd have to make it in front of the bus first.

I am guessing Vegas knows Klien's intent to retire. Would be funny though

You wouldn't get to see them play after your stroke.
