Maybe you can. Maybe you cant quote right too. Or maybe you can admit your ignorance someday. Hank is the best goalie this franchise has ever had and has proved that season after season. And your a fool to think otherwise

Ok. No question, Henrik Lundqvist is the greatest goalie in New York Ranger history.

Now go sit down Princess, your slip is showing.

Talk about things other then bashing the guy if you crave “respect” so bad. You’re a one trick pony

Just curious, what’s your thoughts on Nash?

I just agreed with you, wtf. Move on.

Nash tried his best, injuries and unproductive playoffs hurt his legacy in NY. Overall, I thought he was a very good player, just not a great player.

He made just as much money basically, give or take. And he actually never once came through in a big spot. That’s where your hatred should lie. Anyways, ok it’s over I’ll move on

I don’t see why. You can utilize it next year and beyond. Dont hinder the cap past this year is what I mean

I said yesterday, sign one year deals to veterans. Idc who, but flip the mofo at the deadline. Orpik is the perfect example

It's not gonna be a few from the entire list, it will from the top and pics for a guy who when we're ready to contend will be in his 30's , just not the right time in his career and our process.

A lot of that is crap tho. They gonna want some good stuff

It’s all about timing with Karlsson. Now isn’t the time to trade for him. 2 years ago or 2-3 years from now would be the time. TB is perfect timing right now for example.

I still it’s very possible he goes to free agency, this trade seems to have blown up. That’s when I’m all in on EK

I’m amazed at this whole timing thing. Even when Karlsson is in his 30’s which isn’t until 3 seasons, none of these prospects will be anywhere close to his level!! Depending on what you would have to give up, you’re still only going to dress 3 left d a night!!! 4 centers. We have guys at other positions. You can easily trade and still have an abundance of prospects. When it’s Tampa or Dallas as rumors, you don’t see them listing every prospect they have going to Ottowa.. you need to get the notion that he’ll be available in FA next year out of your head. Just like Panarin, it’ll never happen. Guys like that never make it to FA. You get him when he’s available. You don’t wait until “you’re ready to contend”

In a couple of years, next year's free agent class has some accelerators in it for the cost of zero picks and prospects
