Yeah, who knows what they have spent. I have little faith in pro-athletes to manager their money, but hopefully he has. My point was that her salary is nothing to scoff at and would be more than enough to support their family. She will also be the one with a big career in their family into their 50's and 60's long past the time anyone even remembers who Trouba was.

I think fans have very unrealistic and problematic takes when it comes to player's lives. I get from a NY Rangers standpoint they want to move on from his cap hit. I get that he is no longer playing anywhere near the value of his contract. However, the man negotiated his contract, and they gave him those rights for a no-move and limited move after 15 years. He also has every right to decide what is best for his family. I can tell you with 100% certainty that if I had a baby under 1 year old and my wife was still finishing her residency at a local hospital, I would also be telling the Rangers I am staying, or I will only accept moves to NJ or the Islanders. Anything else and I am refusing to report to any other team.

I've heard there's gonna be some poor sightlines in the Delta Center

Trouba has been out of gas the last two deep playoff runs. He plays too hard during the regular season. Keep him on the 2nd pair and not play him as much in the regular season and things should be good.

I know it is an unpopular opinion in Rangers world right now, but I agree with you. I think he has more to give and this last season he never fully recovered from his injury. I think reduced minutes and a full offseason and he will be fine and maybe even able to step up and play his full game come playoffs.

Rangers fans (not me obviously) always massively panic and overreact. Fox was also getting flamed hard during these playoffs. I totally believe Trouba's contract is way too much money, but I am also cool with keeping him and either moving him as a part of a package at the deadline or just waiting out the contract at this point. I am not someone who thinks the window is closing in the next year or two. Especially when we have potential big upgrades coming from our prospect pool. The only thing that does concern me is Igor getting overpaid and crushing our cap.

the arena was not built with hockey in mind, so there are some beyond awful sightlines. like, cant see the goalie sightlines. theres no way it can be used as a permanent home for hockey.

idk if its part of the plan, but the jazz should just move to this new arena when its done. delta center is going to be 35+ years old at that point and they would need their own upgraded home soon enough anyway.

Hey gang. A post a long time coming....

I wanted to relay a huge, public thank you to any and everyone who donated to the "swordo84 Oliers-happy-good-times-fund". I'm proud to share that collectively we made a $250 (cdn) donation to CureSMA Canada (https://curesma.ca/about-us/). This charity has been immensely helpful to me and my family in the past, and I always love an opportunity to donate more. We had a son stricken with SMA, and unfortunately lost him just short of being 4 months old. He would have turned 8 a week ago. Despite the likelihood of him being a Leafs fan, I made the donation on his birthday before we went out for our annual family fun day in his honour.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of my family, we deeply appreciate the generosity shown from complete strangers on a 90's band message board (what are we even doing here?! lol).

Time for puckdrop yet? Eager to see how I'll be disappointed this season :)

Oh Pre-season hockey! Rangers score 5 goals at the end of the game to beat the Islanders 6-4 :lol

Scary moment for Chytil again last night. Glad he came back into the game. Lindgren on the other hand looks like he might be out to start the year. I think the wear-and-tear is starting to catch up with him and how he plays the game unfortunately.

On a positive note, Zac Jones looks like he might be taking the next step!

Month-to-month too is not great. Also looks like Patrick Laine might miss most of the season if the rumors about an ACL/MCL are true. Tough to take a knee on knee like that in the preseason.

Do you think he got too much or too little? I am a little confused.

I am hoping that the Rangers have a deal for Igor done in the next few days, but it looks like this might go until next off season. Not ideal. Shesty will probably break the record for contracts.

Igor Shesterkin rejects an 8-year $88 million dollar contract ($11 million/year) today offered by Chris Drury and the NY Rangers. Likely this was an opening offer in a series of offers coming in the next 2 days. My guess is Igor is asking $12 million/year and a full no trade clause. I would guess that NY will offer something like $11.5 million/year with a full no trade or $12 million/year with some trade options. I would guess that Shesterkin will reject those as well and eventually the Rangers will sign him to $12 or $12.5 million/year with a full no trade. The Rangers have no leverage in this situation. At this point, I would rather them just finish the deal and move on. We are going to have to get creative with cheaper contracts down the lineup.

Their starting 15 remains vastly unchanged from a capability perspective since Hank. And if he couldn’t do it….bad deal for Rangers.

I totally agree. I am in the camp of not overpaying for goaltending. I have said that for years. I am just acknowledging that this is a losing battle, and Igor is going to get paid, and it will (likely) be the Rangers that pay him. The Rangers don't have another option in net right now, so their hands are tied. Might as well just pay him and not let it linger.

The hope: Igor gets paid and is happy, Drury can cap manage and find cap friendly players and the cap goes up so that NY can still ice a competitive roster with cup intentions.

What I think will happen: Igor gets paid and is happy, NY is a good team but never wins a cup while he is playing. Cycle continues.

Also think it’ll be next year for Ovie

He looked like shit (by his high standards) for a good chunk of 23-24 until he came on strong post-All Star break

I don't know if Ovi will break the record.

definitely a rough start, but a few silver linings at least.

1) they're not going to be this bad defensively/in net every game. they weren't great at either last year, but they still managed to be one of the best teams in the league.

2) the offense was there against a constant contender. mikko is already in midseason form and mack was an inch away from a goal off the post.

i read that early in the season last year ovie was struggling because 1) he was concerned about his wife and kid and 2) he was trying a new stick. the 2nd half of the season, his family worries were settled and he went back to his old stick. if he keeps the old twig and his personal life is good, i would think he would be closer to the 2nd half ovie from last year than the 1st half ovie.

And now an absurd goalie interference at the defensive dots. Cmon zebras.

Absolutely garbage goalie interference call there too. Also, should have been a cross check at the end of that. Utah is out working NY so far though. Rangers need to tighten it up, they are the more talented team.

Officiating is VERY lopsided this game. They miss led a trip on Fox and call the high stick.

Geez, the officials basically handing this game to Utah tonight. NY will need something special to come back.

If I’m in SLC I’m buying Utah merch and tickets. This team is gonna break some hearts and I like them as the 6th seed.

I’m seeing them play in Utah against the Jackets in January. I’ll buy a hat.

Officials are really killing me this game. Missed a hook at center ice and then immediately call one on NY. Just get the game tied and now need to kill a late penalty. This game has been more frustrating than any in the playoffs for officiating and it’s only game 2 lol

Utah apparently unstoppable. Rangers had no business losing this game, but at least they got a point. I hate Utah already lol. I hope we work them next time we meet.

I’m going to the gate @ Utah Jan 16, seems like forever. Wish them the best though.

Nice! Yeah, I’ll be out there skiing in January, so I am looking forward to seeing a game there. Got to see Seattle their first year too.

On to the Flames opener now. I will be in Calgary in about a month for a game! Go Flames!

Utah is good and that was the worst goalie interference call in the history of the league.

My next in-person game is seeing the Avs here in Rain City against the Kraken next week, their lone trip to Seattle this season

Pretty cool to see so many NY Rangers on this list, but especially great to see Laff on there!

The biggest thing I noticed is that I think they have Mackenzie Weegar too low for Calgary. Both him and Huberdeau look like they are figuring it out in Calgary now and I believe Weeger is going to have a big season.

Goal fest in Ottawa. Tied 7-7 late in the 3rd. Not used to seeing the Kings light up the lamp so much.

NJ opened up the season abroad with Buffalo. That is why they have played so many games already.

Of course Utah had to run out of scoring when they played NJ. So frustrating. NJ looks like they will be a force in the MET this year and I am annoyed by it.
