What? Condons supposed to stop the ones that don't go in?

Justin Alligator, 28 years old with one 30 point season under his belt,
signs a 7 year extension ($4 mill avg)

last few years of that may not be pretty.
first few may also be just meh as well.

I've been told that with more non-third line minutes he will be an all star.

If you remove Abdelkader's games vs. the Leafs this season from the equation, he has 1 goal and 3 points in 13 games.

It's pretty scary that Kessel-less Tyler Bozak (6 pts in 11 games) can be compared favourably production-wise to a 28 year old (29 by season's end) that has played all season on a line with Zetterberg and YOUNG CROSBY. It's even scarier that a GM would give that guy 7 years lol.

Those Talbot picks were all from the 2015 draft.

They do still have their 2016 first rounder, so I suppose that has to be moved at some point in keeping with the tradition of the Rangers never picking in the first round ever again.

The first round is over rated if Sather is involved. Sather's only pick that ever scored 30 goals for the Rangers was Prucha and he did it exactly once. 16 of those were power play goals so the next year they bring in SHanny and reduce his pp time

If not for the entire league missing the boat on Lundqvist, the Habs taking Gomez and giving us our Captain I can't imagine what the last few years would have been like.

By the way, bet the house on the Blues tonight, I'm going to the game so the Rangers are sure to lose.

But does Justin Abdelkader block shots?

Even a complete clutz gets it right sometimes though - the Burke/Nonis era draft record with the Leafs was fucking abysmal but they did draft Rielly and Nylander along with a few other smaller pieces that should contribute shortly.

Rangers did draft Duclair, Kreider, Fast and Miller under Sather. It's also always tougher to get good draft picks picking low in the first and the Rangers have only had 3 seasons since 2007 where they didn't win a playoff round so that's always going to impact things.

Having said that, they just gotta start keeping some of their picks. NYC becomes a much less attractive destination when the team starts barely making the playoffs and does so solely on the back of Hank.

When Sather first took over (His first draft was 2001 he was hired right before the 2000 draft but there was not enough time for him to participate) the Rangers had missed the playoffs and were getting top picks. Here's the lowlights

2001 - Dan Blackburn #10 over all. Got injured. Feder Tyutin #40 overall, decent pick. Rest of the draft a total waste
2002 - Peter Prucha #8 overall. Had one good year.
2003 - Hugh Jessman #12 overall, total bust.
2004 - Al Montoya #6 overall, bust. Also had 4 second rounders (Dubinsky one of them) and only drafted one good player, 2 third round picks, both busts and got Callahan in the 4th.
2005 - Marc Staal #12 overall, good pick, remainder of the draft total busts including 2 #2's.
2006 - Bob Sanguinetti #21 overall, complete, total bust. Only other pro Arten Anisimov.

He actually did better in later drafts picking later. Cherepanov passing was a huge blow.

Henrik does that whenever he's one of the starts of the game and I'm shocked they still let him doit and hat no one has been killed

I see a lot of players do it, some teams even have ceremonial or pre-signed sticks that players give out.

But they usually just tip them just over the glass to someone right up close. Throwing that far into the stands? That's insane.

He's been doing it forever and each time I expect to see something in the paper. I can't imagine that security hasn't had to get involved many times. One would think the legal department would eventually get involved.

Personally, if some of those corporate fucks in the expensive seats kill each other I'm all for it

Oh I know, and that's a god-awful record in those years.

But to be fair, have you looked at the guys who came out of some of those drafts? 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2006 were just terrible draft pools. 2003 was probably the best draft ever so yeah couldn't fuck that one up but hey, at least your team didn't trade their first round pick for 80 games of Owen Nolan

If he were a Swedish centre rather than a Swedish goalie the precedent suggests he'd be looking at a suspension

The Hurricanes have been in Carolina since Karmanos moved the Hartford Whalers to Raleigh in 1997. After reaching the final in 2002 and ultimately falling to the Detroit Red Wings, the franchise captured its first Stanley Cup in 2006.

After finishing 29th in attendance last season with an average of 12,594 fans a night, there was optimism in Raleigh when the team drew a record crowd of 18,949 at PNC Arena for the season opener with the Detroit Red Wings on October 10. Only three weeks later, the team drew just 9,081 for an encounter with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Bettman says Hurricanes in no danger of relocation
