The expansion draft is 7/21.
Next Sunday (7/18) protected lists will be made public
NHL Draft is 7/23 - 7/24
Free Agency opens 7/28
a lot of movement will happen IMO b/c of a lot of factors including the flat cap - teams with cap space can make out like bandits just for taking a bad contract. Tarasenko, Eichel, and more could have new homes not even considering movement to help with the expansion draft or free agency.
This article linked below from THW is great, not sure there is a ton of accuracy to it, but it's still a fun read.

And the best I can come up with is b y drafting him, MTL can help "force" or manage the maturation process.
but I'm grasping.
the only good to come of the pick is I've read countless woke fans on social media say they no longer consider themselves a fan of the team. So, there is some good to come of it, I don't need the sanctimony.

The only rationalization I have is Bergevin and Timmins think talent is talent even if the player is a horrible person.
I hear all of these comments about "who hasn't done something stupid as a kid." Something stupid is getting drunk at a party and passing out, not doing something illegal.

Language involving some of the draft picks included in the Reinhart trade to Florida is what gummed things up. Expected to be wrapped up soon.
Does BUF really deal two Cs this off-season?
Quote:
As we wait on full trade details, Sam Reinhart's been informed he's now a member of the Florida Panthers.
Sweet Jesus, the off-season is hitting the Rangers like the 100 year flood. I like Reinhart a lot, pesky two-way C who has knack around the net, and he would have made 100% sense for NYR, far more than Eichel, because team would keep Zib no questions asked. He's young (25), and cheap for now. Don't like the direction Drury is/is not going.
Does BUF really deal two Cs this off-season?
I certainly think it's possible, and BUF is getting an early start on the Shane Wright sweepstakes.
If I'm Rasmus Dahlin, I'm not eager to stay.

I agree what the kid did was absolutely reprehensible and he should pay a huge price. I wouldn't want him in my team but I think we live in a new age. People have very short attention spans. Individuals rightly or wrongly have found out that if they ride out the initial shitstorm people move on quickly. The Canadiens probably made the calculation that getting him at 31 was worth it and that in 2 years or so when he makes it to the NHL this will all have died down. Again I'm explaining the probable Canadiens thinking not my feelings about it. I'm extraordinarily sensitive to the abuse of women.

Elliotte Friedman on ESPN/Sportsnet’s draft coverage discussing Jack Eichel: “Buffalo is still looking for a definite prospect/draft pick based deal there. I think they talked pretty heavily with Montreal yesterday. It was quiet last night.”
Show this thread
And why yet another LW in the draft?
Makes sense. After yesterday the UFA market for Hamilton really dried up. If he wants to get paid there just aren't the suitors. If he wants a contender right now he'll have to take less to stay in Carolina.
I think there's a lot of ways to win a Cup, and the Rangers could be a wing driven team. My issue with acquiring Reinhart would have been that he's in need of a contract next year too. Other than that, I think I agree with you.

I'm defense now (too old and slow for F), but if I had to fill in at forward I can, but I get gassed after about 3 shifts.
I have learned how to conserve energy on D picking my spots when to activate offensively - and when I do I basically stay in the offensive zone forever.
So, I might be second line wing on the Sabres, lol.
I like Werenski as much as I like Jones, hard to see him going anywhere without the acquiring team giving up a ton.
Also, getting nervous of this Eichel to the Habs talk.
Keep him in NY. I like Eichel, but I've been hearing Romanov and Kotkaniemi - to start. At some point you're weakening your team and the cap structure too much to make a deal work.
now, it seems like a legit chance he does.
Something maybe people don't know about Landeskog - is he's not a C (because Mackinnon is) but he's really good on the dots and takes a lot of the important face offs. So while I couldn't compare him and Eichel per se, you can make a pretty strong case for the same money less the prospects/picks you're better off with Landeskog

Friedman on 31TP talking Eichel/NYR: "The Rangers and Sabres were just not close on the package. The Sabres wanted the likes of a Schneider or Lundkvist and the Rangers didn't want to go there, they (Sabres) wanted some of their top young players that are already on the roster."
I think there's a lot of ways to win a Cup, and the Rangers could be a wing driven team. My issue with acquiring Reinhart would have been that he's in need of a contract next year too. Other than that, I think I agree with you.
At this point my biggest fear is that Drury as the new GM on the block feels he HAS to pull a trigger on a big deal (nodding at Dolan in a dark corner of the bar) and it will prove to be very short sighted. As bad as those back-to-back losses to NYI felt at the time (and 13 - 1 in the three), they could well look a whole lot worse before this off-season is done.
sorry, Motzko is now coach of Minnesota - for the past few years.

After this weekend's trades, of the 18 players #CBJ dressed in their 7-3 win over TB in Game 4 back in 2019, 12 of them are gone and Adam Clendening is un-signed.
Jones, Panarin, Atkinson, Dubinsky, Dubois, Dzingel, Nash, Savard, Foligno, Anderson, Duchene, Bobrovsky. Torts too.

CHP, I think the Rangers envision needing a dominant 1C to win the Cup - something the Rangers lacked as we completed last decade.

Fair point. And while it's in retrospect, looking at the return for Rinehart, Drury could have figured what talent the Rangers might have been required to give Sabres in return (+/- picks) + his salary demands would/will be dwarfed by the return for Eichel. And it sure would make keeping Zib more feasible. (Thinking his asking price went up once Buch was dealt.)
At this point my biggest fear is that Drury as the new GM on the block feels he HAS to pull a trigger on a big deal (nodding at Dolan in a dark corner of the bar) and it will prove to be very short sighted.

Agreed, I don't see anyone happy if we come back to training camp with Goodrow as the biggest addition. The franchise completely overreaction to the Washington game/Islander beat downs seems very real to me. Islanders are a better team beating down on a tired Rangers team - it happens with going teams.
The Washington game was unfortunate as well, especially with Lindgren and Trouba out. They weren't terrifying games in any capacity.
I critiqued a lot of moves, but was in full agreement with the plan the team had under JD/Gorton. Just not sure I know what Drury is doing yet.

I know it's not funny what Mailloux did, but I find the fact "journalists" cannot grade his talent because they are offended the Canadiens selected him kind of funny.

Also, Qualifying Offers are due today to pending RFAs.
We know EDM is not QO’ing Khaira and Kahun.
Curious whether Zadorov (CHI), Lehkonen (MTL), Aston-Reese (PIT), Heinen (ANA) and Kase (BOS) are qualified.
And Patrik Laine (#CBJ) is due a $7.5 million QO.

Now down to the final two days of the #NHL’s first buyout window of the summer, these players are on buyout watch today:
Braden Holtby (VAN)
Martin Jones (SJS)
James Neal (EDM)
Buyouts must be completed by July 27 at 5pm ET, so today is the day for waivers in order to do it.
When is the housewarming party? I'll have to return the Buch jersey I got you.
CHP and pj, thanks. House is definitely an upgrade. It was a frustrating process as we were outbid for house after house but, right as we were staring having to move out in a week with nowhere to move into, we got incredibly lucky. Once all the moving headaches are nothing but a memory, I think we'll be very happy here.
Moving blows.
Today is interesting with the buyouts and non tenders. PJ the Laine thing is interesting. With all the exodus from Columbus you don't hear anything about him the past few weeks. Prior to that there was rumblkng he might ask out. I wouldn't think what has transpired in the past week would wet his appetite to stay there.
