I can’t believe they got a 3rd rounder for this dude. About damn time he’s gone. I was fine with him playing a few games here and there but not to be penciled as often as he was for the Knights.

Can’t wait for Caps vs. Rags next year. Must watch television for sure. Hopefully Wilson has the balls for o drop them.

NYR is getting tougher, but when will they get smarter?

Overpaid Goodrow for 6 years and then gave up a 3rd rounder for an overpriced, overrated 4th liner.

Knee jerk reaction by many is that "this was a terrible move for the Rangers" and "Wilson broke the Rangers." Stop. I'm not a huge fan of Reaves, especially at this stage of his career,, but this is a result of Bettman deciding to stick it to Dolan,(who is a train wreck of a person in many ways but not the worst owner in the NHL. He's mostly stayed out of the way and he's willing to spend money.)

I think Drury may be done with his off-season unless a better opportunity arises for center.

The exact lines aren't the issue, but the current lineup is NOT an overreaction to the Wilson incident. It's a CORRECTION after Gorton insisted he build a one dimensional roster with little to no grit.

Lafreniere Zibanajad Kakko
Panerin Strome Chytil
Kreider Goodrow Kravtsov
Barron Rooney Blais

Lindgren Fox
Miller Trouba
Nemeth Lundkvist

Shestyerkin, Georgiev, Kinkaid

Reaves is the 13th forward,(and yes he'll play against Washington and the sneaky-dirtiest team in the league: the Saints.) Reaves can't skate that well anymore. One year for $1.75. A 3rd round pick. It's not the end of the world.

Tinordi is the 7th defenseman.

The extra players will either go in trades for picks, or as part of deal for a top 6 center who is signed long term,(if Zibanajad and/or Strome isn't extended). or go to Harford.

Gauthier and Bitteto will be in Hartford. Georgiev could get moved to get a fresh start. Strome could get moved to make room for another center, but he also might get extended.

He’s been out of the lineup half the playoff against MTL because they didn’t get in-game with Reeves. I agree, he’s kinda useless but I guess they wanted to bring in good games against Caps

Pens went through the same problem. The boogie man aka Tom Wilson makes you do some crazy things....
