Phil Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Nick Ritchie, W: The prospect of adding the 25-year-old marauding winger out of Boston, who comes close to playing literal smashmouth hockey, should have the Blueshirts’ hierarchy salivating. Imagine the prospect of a third line featuring Ritchie, Danault and Goodrow? There is the matter of cost, of course — if it escalates much beyond $3 million, can the Rangers support that going forward? There is the matter of clearing lineup space for him, but then again, that’s what Ritchie does, correct? Clear space? Jujhar Khaira, C: The Rangers have long fancied this 26-year-old, 6-4, 212-pound center who was not qualified by the Oilers, but the club seems to be set in the middle of the fourth line with Kevin Rooney. Still, a possibility. Martin Jones, G: The Blueshirts are seeking to trade Alex Georgiev, whose $2.425 million cap hit is a bit pricey for a backup and who has asked the team to send him somewhere where he might compete for the No. 1 job — though apparently there has been no “official” trade demand. With that in mind, the Rangers could jump on the 31-year-old Jones, bought out by the Sharks after three straight miserable seasons, and turn him over to the Wizard, Benoit Allaire, for a makeover. https://nypost.com/2021/07/27/rangers-echris-drury-aiming-to-fill-rangers-center-needs-in-nhl-free-agencyvaluating-centers-during-nhl-offseason/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Literally nobody should be targeting Martin Jones. The San Diego Gulls shouldn't be targeting Martin Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Martin Jones looks shot. Halak might be feasible, or maybe even bring Raanta back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I've liked Khaira forever. Not much offense there, but plays heavy and is very smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Halak is likely to sign with Vancouver, and Raanta with Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halak is who I’ve been preaching for for months as the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I've liked Khaira forever. Not much offense there, but plays heavy and is very smart. They have enough vanilla up the middle. They need someone that embraces the opposite, not one that embraces getting beat down by the opposite (To be clear, this is not in support of khaira) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Is Allaire also a shrink on the side? He might need to be if he has any chance of getting Jones to return to form. I'm all in on Khaira too. He'll come cheap and is a heavy 4th liner who can handle top PK duties. Vanilla isn't a word that that accurately describes him. He's just not the cheapshot artist that Ritchie can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
