Jan Levine: Grading the Rangers: Ryan McDonagh A step back for the Blueshirts' captain

McDonagh is going to benefit from finally having a long summer more than anyone, career year coming up

Jimbo's annual jinx is on. Kreider last year, Stepan the year before. Trade McD before it's too late

Is Vancouver looking to trade him?

Yes, Benning will trade Subban to Bergevin for Pacioretty.

Then, Benning will flip Pacioretty to Montreal for Desharnais.

It's been Girardi but now it might be Klein. The hope is that big Dylan McIlrath can progress enough to be that big, trustworthy muscle the Rangers neeed in front of the net.

And a Nationally Accredited Street-Meat Guzzler

Form a defensive perspective I think the Rangers in a very good spot
Top 3 - McDonaugh (L), Klein (R), Skjei (L) (Yes he is THAT good)

They need to find 3 more defensemen to fill out their top 6 from this list:

Staal (L)
Holden (L)
Girardi (R)
McIlrath (R)
Clendening (R)
Graves (L)
Paliotta (R)

More quality on the Left side, then on the Right... hopefully one, two or three of the young guys step up throughout the season and claim a spot / provide the depth to assure the Ranegrs they have that 7th & 8th D-man in case someone goes down and there wont be a huge dropoff. (McIlrath, Clendening, Graves, Paliotta)

Girardi is no one's ideal partner. Dude is trash.

Those 3 IMHO TBH

I think they should get out ahead of themselves like they did with the Brass trade and find the best return for Klein. I know I have maybe a little too much faith is some of the young guys coming in and preforming well but they need to start getting rid of guys a year early rather than a year too late. Its just good business and keeps you relevant

Was just stating that for years now G has been McDonough's partner. He has been on a very steep decline the last 2 years but to say he has always been trash is bubcus.

if my team just won the Cup, I'd still be partying and not worried about any other team's veteran defenseman, but that's just me

Yeah I couldn't believe the boat sank. Seemed kinda weird that the girl couldn't make room on the floating door for Jack though.

I like hockey, what can I say? I can't enjoy my teams championship and talk about other teams? There some kind of rule against it?
