That’s crazy Matt, you’d rather have them pick 16th than 9th or better? After the deadline this team is not going to be any better than the poop team they were for most of it so far, we can easily drop to the 4 spots below us, a top 5 pick outweighs anything that could possibly happen the rest of the way, everyone has to be thinking about the future and forget about the present

With Hank in net and the reamaining team that will be on the ice. This team will finish out the reamiander of the season at .500. and they will not be any higher than 8th in the draft.

EDM, Van, Ari, Buff, Ott, MTL, Det. and Florida will probably all be aheas of NYR

I don't think they are more valuable but with Hank playing he can win games by himself. Going to have AHL guys coming up and playing hard. I think its a bit of a pipe dream to think they would get a top 3 pick.

I just want to see the team play hard and let the chips fall were they do. Win or lose.

Edmonton sits in the 5 spot 7 points behind us and everyone has games in hand

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, we have 4 regulation wins in the last 22 games, we are a bad team as it is and we’re selling off numerous pieces, brave yourself for a dose of reality

No reason to burn a year, maybe the last 5 games of the season but let them help Hartford who's now 2 points from a playoff spot

Sounds like you expect the players to tank. Everybody that has played sports at a 'decent' level, would agree that's BS talk.

And as for the "brave yourself for a dose reality" - you actually feel that you and your teammate are the ones to tell...?

Most teams around us look just as much like poop - and guess what; they would probably want to pick in the top5 as well.

Not a bad idea, but I just want to see them play. I could care less about the ELC, although I know that probably isn't the smartest thing to do.

MSG needs to start putting Pack games on tv.

No I don't but I don't expect this group of talent to beat better groups of talent, this group hasn't been tanking and they have failed miserably to play decent hockey, the record is above .500 because of #30 not because the group is playing at a "decent" level

We are unlike any team around us, we are on the way down while many of those teams are on the way up

I think Tom and I passed the denial step a while back

Was there ever a report that either Sweden or the Czechs wanted either Andersson or Chytil to try out for their olympic teams?

new blog up

I mean what's the difference between picking 9 or 16 at this point? I doubt there is some organizational difference making talent in that range anyway....so yea try to win games lol

Basic math should tell you that if all the teams around us are on their way up, a lot of teams are on their way down.

Teaming up with someone who clearly only try to sabotage this blog is waaay below your standard, Cranny...

Crazy thing is that all of the other teams w/in a few points above and below NYR don't have anywhere near the amount of signigficant injuries as well....they all just suck
