For a team that seems reliant on signing to a short term deal, Kane represented likely our best bang-for-buck option on a short term deal. And he went for 1-year. So for those of you acting like this isn’t a loss, I think you’re wrong. If Kane was willing to do a 1-year deal, it’d have been a no-brainer for the Rangers tomorrow. Not sure any options tomorrow will be willing to do that. Drurys job just got a little tougher. Edited June 30 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The more I think about it, I think Toffoli is the likely candidate. He can be had for a good price, not insane terms and he still might have a place in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with signing Kane would be that Kane would just give the Rangers what they already have - balanced scoring. What they must do is upgrade the speed, defense, and physicality.

I don't understand people not wanting a point per game player here, who in turn could elevate Zibanejad's game. He's already shown he is healthy and can play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Size doesn't mean shit if you have no skill. I think Drury should know that more than anybody. The Rangers lost because they couldn't get the puck out of the zone. Kane isn't lighting fast anymore, but he isn't slow. Again, I have to see where they go from here before I criticize further, because this wasn't a bad option for one year. I thought he wanted more.

The players you keep advocating for are either not available or out of price range. Best bet is getting a few players with all the different traits you’re describing to fill in the roster. For one year? Kane would have been fine here. Dare I say close to exactly what would be needed. Short term. Skilled. Passer. Gotta see what tomorrow brings.

Counter: it’s actually because they couldn’t establish a forecheck and keep the puck at the other end of the rink. It’s quite easy to get pinned in the DZ when they’re always having to play on their heels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you want is a player that sounds like he’s out of our price range. I doubt a young, big, physical, goal scoring RW’er is gonna be available this summer looking for a short-term deal at a low dollar amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need Eric Lindros. I don't need young. I just want a new dynamic. I don't care how it arrives — free agency, trade, whatever. And again, I want what I want. I don't care how realistic it is. Wanted Jeannot. Want Tuch. Want Hartman. Want anything in this mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, if the Rangers aren't going super long with anyone, I have no clue who they can bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
