Are the Rangers gonna be the road team again because of silly MSG rules?

Yes..

[fredgmuggs]

Ottawa's getting swept next series right?

nope.

Not silly rules. Rangers and MSG get a major tax break as long as they play all their home games at MSG.

Can/Should they buy out Girardi this week?

I think Gorton is probably smart enough to do it, it's just a matter of how much roster control he takes back from AV

[RhodyYanksFan]

It'd be great of Vegas takes Klein or Staal too.

staal can't be exposed

[Mr. Mxylsplk]

The deed is done.

@NYRangers OFFICIAL: #NYR will buy out the contract of defenseman Dan Girardi.

[CanoForPresident]

Sad, but necessary.

Hoping they can pull off some voodoo and be rid of Staal too.

How does this impact the expansion draft, do we get an extra protection

[Mr. Mxylsplk]

How does this impact the expansion draft, do we get an extra protection

That's my understanding.

[CanoForPresident]

They have an open slot to use on a D if they choose to do so.

Watch them protect Holden.

[RhodyYanksFan]

I saw a headline Klein is thinking about retiring? Is that just because he doesn't wanna go to Vegas?

I can't imagine Vegas would have selected him.

[Mr. Mxylsplk]

Sure would've been nice to make a move to get some use out of that 3rd d-man protection...

[RhodyYanksFan]

THEY PROTECTED HOLDEN! THEY DIDN'T PROTECT SMITH!

I hate them.

[CanoForPresident]

Smith is a UFA, protecting him wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

I was hoping that they could have snuck in a deal to get a D who needed to be protected prior to the roster freeze but that didn't happen. It wouldn't surprise me if management bought out Girardi due to the fear of losing Holden, nothing that they do makes any sense, especially when it comes to defensemen.

Rangers don't have it so bad with expansion though - Look at what Anaheim, Minnesota, Nashville, NYI are going through.

[GordonGecko]

Holden will be a good D man, needs more time to develop. It doesn't do him any favors to pair with Staal either

But F*** man, so long Grabner

So true. Snow apparently is going to give his first round pick to Vegas so they won't draft one of our forwards.

[Mr. Mxylsplk]

Lindberg to Vegas.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Lindberg to Vegas.

Kinda shocked they took MAF over Raanta.

[Panamaniac42]

Step & Raanta for #7 & Anthony DeAngelo...

[Mr. Mxylsplk]

Deangelo seems to have the maturity our coach really values in young players.

lol

He needs to quickly learn to shut his mouth playing here or it's going to get really ugly. He's a major and vocal Trump supporter and has a history of calling his teammates gay slurs during games. Really immature but has a ton of upside. Worried about him but has a ton of potential
