[TheCountofMonteCristo]

He's not available.

He's made him some kind of holy grail despite all evidence to the contrary

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

He's not available.

Every player on the Rangers roster is available.

Well you can't have it both ways. Either he's not that good or hes so good that he's not available. Pick one.

Carrier.

We currently have only 2 RHD, Carrier will not sit. Plus he's been playing well.

Im not talking about right now. Im talking about making room for Orville.

Next year. He actually does need an entire season in the AHL.

He will be gone after his contract is up

 

[GrandWazoo]

Maybe. We thought Matheson would be gone too.

MM is a top 3D

Carrier is a 5-6D and not paying an increase on his next year

 

[AH$$$]

Panarin as a rental is the only realistic choice from the Rangers roster.

Not what we need. We need a more physical and gritty top 6 F.

I understand that, but he plays right, which is a commodity.

I think we will likely let him walk but it’s not a certainty.

Agreed but Cuylle is not available. In the absence we get more scoring.

Agreed

I wouldn't mind McDavid despite his lack of grit

 

[Krustchev]

I wouldn't mind McDavid despite his lack of grit

Ha ha. But he's actually way grittier than Panarin.

 

[Krustchev]

Agreed but Cuylle is not available. In the absence we get more scoring.

The cost to acquire Panarin will likely be too high. There are playoff teams that need a scorer like him way more than we do.

Imagine though Panarin centering the 2nd line. Then Kapanen centres the 3rd line between Anderson and Newhook, wow.

too soft

 

[hairnova]

Also a winger.
