Basically to appease someone again, done with that.

Adams seems like a smart guy. Doesn't mean he's good at his job, but I'd hope he's at least smarter than that.

When is the Biden/Putin meeting? They got to call it off or get Jim Carrey in makeup. My god we’re doomed.

I don't think the above is enough.

I'd hold firm at Comtois, the Ducks 3rd overall this year, and their 2022 unprotected 1st.

- kingcong39


Just getting the 2022 unprotected 1st would be enough for me to trade down to pick3

Trade idea:

Eichel & Okposo and a 2022 3rd to Vegas for Marchessault, Tuch, Fleury and 2022 1st

But says June 30
Of course this year could be different

- Anderdog


I believe June 30th is when it's a normal, regular league season schedule, but it's pushed out to July this year due to the season beginning so late.

So he's the Draisaitl of the draft is what you're saying?
- Wetbandit1
That is what I am saying. I havent seen any mocks placing him first, he should be though. And I have little doubt of him being the most dominant offensive player of the draft.

Power = Erik Johnson

Why would Fleury waive to come here?
Seems extremely doubtful

Agree with the Eklund being really good take but the bold is super lazy

I could see Power being a Letang type d-man.

I think that is his ceiling.

It’s the obvious reason it wouldn’t happen imo

In general, seems like the poster wants to try & win now…. But i just don’t see that happening
I’m all for a rebuild
Trade Jack, Sam, Risto & even Olofsson for young players, prospects & picks
I have no interest in trying to win now
Unfortunately it will likely be another couple rough seasons before our new young core can grow up a little & hopefully start winning games consistently


Better?

Power = Pietrangelo at his best IMO

Both are fantastic passers. 6’4 guys who aren’t overly physical but do enough and with top minute eating potential

I think realistically Hanifin.

If everything goes perfectly than Bouwmeester

I’d be fine with that caliber of player considering JayBo was a mid range #1 for a good decade.

But I think the O upside is way better

Rangers may add Dan Girardi as assistant coach, per the Athletic.
