Hello Seattle?

it would be weird if they didn't do Tony today

because that would start to lead me to believe that they may leave him exposed to Seattle just in case before they do the buyout
- jimbro83

That's my thought as well. They can just buy him out after the expansion draft during the second window.

haha, I dont think so

they could have protected Gauthier instead of Blackwell without signing Howden

to me, this indicates they will expose Gauthier, Rooney and Howden and protect Blackwell

(frank) now who am I supposed to take at 6.

As any other Rangers fan can attest too, you can never have enough centers to see who pans out.

Big question is do they acquire a blueliner so they don't protect Hajek.

- jimbro83

(frank) that. The idea of a goalie in the first round makes me sick.

Why the draft is a crapshoot.
Maybe Eklund slides and you can have him and Seider

Trade for a LHD, it makes no sense to protect Hajek. His future isn't in New York

I really want KJ so now I have to convince myself to like someone else.

Kakko for Werenski as the base of the deal.

NHL buyout period begins today, and runs through July 27, 5 p.m. Expect #NYR to buy out D Tony DeAngelo soon.

Too much risk for goalies early in the first round, unless there's some can't-miss kid that you're damn-near positive is going to pan out

That's where the fun begins. I am sure Drury has his eye one someone.

yeah like a Montoya

The only people questioning Z’s ability to play in the middle are the ones who haven’t seen him play….

My lord, he’s a C now and going Forward.

Guenther should’ve been and hopefully will be the actual pick.

Also Perreault will be in the top 6 also quickly- perhaps even Colangelo.

He had serious flo though
