Reading Larry Brooks column in the post today. Trade deadline is five weeks away. March second. Rangers don't have a lot of expendable assets as Larry puts it. Rangers are in the market for a front line center. The name that keeps coming up in trade talks is J.T. Miller.
I know the kid makes mistakes from time to time but he played his fucking ass off in a tightly contested match against the Senators the other night and knocked Karlsson into the middle of next week on an attempted hip check by Karlsson.
Why are the Rangers so quick to trade young assets all the time. This kid is only going to get better in my opinion. He's not the only one who makes a bad play once in awhile. St. Louis gave the puck up a couple of times the other night and so did McDonagh.
As Brooks stated you keep trading away young assets and first round picks in a go for broke win now mentality you become the Rangers of 1997-2004.
Those were very lean years as we all know.
You could be right though - he likely influenced many trades. God knows he was the first Fantasy Hockey GM that used a real NHL team. Greg mentioned the Bobby Carpenter trade. He barely put the sweater on before he was traded for Dionne.
28 games?
The first heartbreaking "trade", oddly enough, was when the arbitrator awarded the Oilers Troy Mallette, who I loved. We had signed some JAG I'd never heard of named Adam Graves. I was seriously pissed off.
Seriously. This thread smells like moth balls.
Now I'm not coming to your fucking Sweet 16.
Has a wife and kid. He's done. Just counting the clock from here.
It's the new 20.....so I'm told. From brief experience, it isn't.
