@@hckykd39 Then put him on LTIR and get a legit number one C in here. There is NO WAY Mika can stay here for five more years as bad as he is this year.
May not be a pending trade at all...Rangers may finally coming around to sitting guys that aren't producing and/or giving 100% when they're out there. Other than the 4th line goal in the first minute yesterday, we've gone 2 games and almost full periods without any goal from anyone. Team is in a flat spin, going down from 20,000 feet.
Kreider will get traded for Sammy Blais and a 6th rounder. The idiot Drury should not be allowed to make anymore personnel decisions. He has to go now...
If He's Getting Moved, I Feel Like It's Gonna Be For JT In Van City 💯 Maybe Kreids n Miller For Kadri n Anderson Outta Calgary 🤔 Toffoli n A Pick 🤔 Do The Rangers Have Any Canadians 🤔 No Fukkin Balls 🤡
It's a number of things. Three seasons of highly competitive hockey with two long playoff runs took a mental and physical toll on this core. Drury and Dolan are running the organization like the a$$h0les they are and the veterans really, really hate their guts. Mika didn't stay in shape over the off-season and doesn't care about hockey anymore. Trouba's and Goodrow's presence in the locker room was a net positive even if it didn't show up statistically. Drury has made the roster progressively weaker by getting rid of decent players and replacing them with trash. Laviolette's judgment is horrendous and he cannot make adjustments.
@@PabloDiabloTreasures It is speculation, yes, but it fits what we see on the ice and what we know about Mika, doesn't it? Lavi doesn't healthy scratch Mika because Chris Drury signed Mika to a $8.5MM AV contract with full NMC through 2030, and scratching him will make Drury look even worse than he already does for such a stupid deal. Also, they cannot trade, waive or buyout Mika - they're stuck with him, so they can only hope he plays through it and bounces back.
I’ll be sad when Krids goes he hasn’t had a good year but if we didn’t hand out so many ntc he wouldn’t be the guy we trade I don’t think. I went from thinking he’d spend his whole career here and possibly have 20 raised to the rafters. What difference a year makes.
Mika is probably the weakest link but the rangers have traded around the heart of the problem, yes I know the no trade, however it also lack of development to have a centre come up from the minors, gets back to poor drafting and development, best we bring TJ Miller back, can u trade a GM?
Unfortunately Mika is the problem. I don't think the benching was trade related but he'll probably get traded before long regardless and circumstantial evidence would say I'm wrong... Mika was the problem last year, not the freakin parade of right winger...he stopped checking (not that he was ever a hard player to begin with), he lost the explosive skating and his timing sucked, he shanked on more one-timers than any other year (probably combined). I don't know what to say because I loved this player and I don't know if he can ever come back to form...Krieds is still valuable but will probably be a casualty in the end.
I think the message is that if you are a highly paid highly skilled player that is out there to make a difference and you sit on the bench and the team does no better and no worse, what good are you?
After the year we had last year and even the way we started this season I can’t believe it has gotten this bad. Our best players just simply need to play better. Unless they can get a team to overpay for kreider it would be a huge mistake to trade him. And the Kakko trade was terrible as well.
They're done...time for the rebuild. Won't be surprised if Laviolette goes soon. Don't bring in Avery...he has no experience. Bet Igor now regrets signing that long term contract...
Avery as the assistant coach for messier. Can’t get any worse. Agree Avery doesn’t have experience either as a manager or player to be #1, but he could be an effective supporting piece behind the bench
@@humanbeing2420 Because every coach had to coach their first game at some point including Scotty Bowman. It's a pretty dumb argument that you can never hire someone without experience. Can it really get any worse than it is right now?
Scratching a player is not going to do anything but give a struggling player a day off the ice. I imagine he is frustrated and tired. A day off is like a vacation day. No stress of not producing. He is still being paid a boatload of money. What does he care? Hell, give him a few more days, send him to the Bahamas for a week on vacation. Crap send Mika and a few other guys too.
Why is everyone forgetting about Lafreniere??? One goalin the last sixteen games! He's never going to be worthy of that first pick overall in the draft. Let's face it, at this point in time he's a bust. Get rid of him while their is still perceived value in him. Don't make the same mistake as they did with that other bust, Kaako. If they would have traded him way earlier they might have gotten a better return.
Quick was not the problem today. Lavi/Drury should have already fired Housley,because these players are not understanding how to play defense or break the puck out of their zone. Lavi doesn't even ever use timeouts to send a vicious message about winning puck battles.Lavi is going to be fired if this keeps going.
But who the hell would want to coach here when the average tenure is 1.5 to 2 seasons? For 3 coaches in a row now. Rangers can’t keep doing this. It might be time to sign Messier to an iron clad 4 or 5 year deal, understanding it’s not going to happen overnight. I realize he has no coaching experience but everybody starts somewhere. How sweet would it be to see Messier hoist a cup once again at MSG 3 or 4 years from now?
@@crispycruiser4654Gallant coached for 2 seasons, Quinn for 3. Rangers will have no problem finding another coach. Messier as head coach is a terrible idea. There's no reason to think his abilities as a player 40 years ago will translate to successful coaching now. He's not a god.
The rangers have playing a lot better lately,but have been unlucky. Krieder is the last player I would trade. Laviolette should wait it out a few more games before trading anyone. Besides who are they going to get that's better than what they have now?
Why is everyone afraid to state the real problem? It's Laviolette. The players have tuned him out. They're not responding to him anymore. Laviolette has turned into the Bruce Boudreau-, Lindy Ruff-type of coach that gets fired but for some reason, lands another coaching job. Boudreau has been put to pasture. It's time to do the same with Laviolette and his lousy-coach pals.
@therealbutton8364 Correct - Quick has been atrocious for over a month now, seems like he’s allowing 4-5 every game, and Panarin has also been ice cold this entire 4-13 streak
Our defense is terrible, which makes our All-Star goalie look even worse. Doesn’t matter who you have playing in front of you if you have good people that are offensively minded you still gotta have a defense. Defense wins championships! Look at the devil‘s in the 90s and their trapped defense, games were boring as hell because it was one nothing to 132 very low scoring, but the devil still won all those games with their draft trap defense and of course the guy in the net bro door or should I say close the door
The craziest thing is Mika has been playing like 5 times worse than Kreider, but he hasn't been scratched. Not only that, but Mika has been by far the absolute worst player in the entire NHL all season. And any real hockey player knows it.
Very hard to believe this is what’s happening with this team compared to last year. I still stand by my statements that Drury is a cancer to this organization and needs to be fired immediately
Chris Kredier? Geez, dude's been there how many years and they spell his name wrong 😅 think this happened to Gretzky when the Rangers got him way back when, name on the back was spelled Greztky
Can’t blame nothing on quick, no team should have 12 shots on net and still win the game. The rangers sucked at everything and I can’t stand when people go after the goalies because if they don’t got a wall in front of them they can’t win. There just like quarterbacks
What the hell is the point of watching this team? What the heck happened to this team the same team that won the president trophy did they all get kidnapped? What happened to the heart? I don’t need the first time in my life. I’m not. I’m on the fence. Should I watch more of these games? It’s making me sick. The Ranger players don’t care why should I? Where is the effort six shots on net bring up the Hartford wall pack, and send down the Rangers 6 shots ! The hole game what the hell!
Oh come on, it is not the coach? Coaches job is to get the team to play a working system. He has failed to motivate the team, failed to make any kind of adjustments (other than screwing with the lines), shows little emotion on the bench. He lost the team. The team has given up on him and each other. Fire the coaching staff. Dump more players and rebuild.
It’s not just Kreider or Mika yes they are not playing there potential. It’s the whole dam team!!! There is a lot more going on behind the scene to me scratch this season goodby make the first move and that is Druey has to go. He did nothing in the off season that could have been beneficial to the Rangers and what did they get Riley Smith. Great what has he done a big nothing make that change then go from there. Yes the Rangers have stopped playing for Lava so unfortunately he would be next. It’s to bad the players forgot to be professionals
Trade drury for a bag of pucks it all started when drury opened his big mouth and named certain players who he wanted traded that started all the problems
Healthy scratch Mika every game until he agrees to be traded.
I think he wants to be scratched then he gets paid and doesn’t have to do anything
@@hckykd39 Then put him on LTIR and get a legit number one C in here. There is NO WAY Mika can stay here for five more years as bad as he is this year.
He is getting paid now for doing nothing.
My sentiments exactly.
I wouldn't be sad to see him go . He isn't playing anymore he is out for a skate
Even if kreider is traded, we'll get back a bag of pucks and a 4th round pick lol
And we’d be robbing that team blind
We have an opening in the Canucks locker room
I think Kreider can get a good return and can still play he just had a 75 point season.
Even they trade Kreider this team is still a mess
they shouldn’t trade kreider😢
Sam Rosen doesn’t wanna call ranger games anymore 😂😂
He was more excited for the devils today!
He was 😂

@humanbeing2420 the Mika comments are a speculation not necessary true. And if it was true why wouldn't the coach healthy scratch him?
I hate to blame the coach but Lavis second year

Kreider being traded after Christmas
better not😢
Well, rumor mill says talks with Boston.........kept him off the ice to keep him healthy for a trade.
Mika is the problem not Kreider. He would also probably get a better return in a trade.

Something deeper going on with the Rangers from the presidents trophy winners last year . What the heck they are hard to watch .
And Mika is still getting regular ice time..

My prediction for the immediate future of the Rangers.....PAIN. Been a fan since 80-81. This is the worst decline I can remember.

Mika should not be traded either. The coach and GmM must go!!!!!
Kreider has a bad back, I see him retiring rather than getting moved. Then Mika will go full time DJ.
