The Rangers Are a Disaster

Last year, the Rangers went into the draft, Sather's last, knowing they were willing to trade Talbot and Hagelin.  They, then, for sure, turned down a first roung pick for Talbot, and ended up settling for a second and then throwing Hagelin into a move up trade.   Tonight, they went into the draft, Gorton's first as GM, knowing they were willing to trade just about anyone on their roster.  Some of whom would have brought back a one and MORE.  And what did they do?  Nada.  So, tomorrow they will no doubt end up selling low on some players -- like they did every time they threw a Duclair or a Saarela into a packake that already include a one or multime two's for guys who weren't gonna get it done. Where is the vision?  

Now the Rangers are short a ton of prospects and haven't picked a first rounder or won a Stanley Cup for 4 straight draft years. What could have been a tough, but smart and necessary night of work, is being blown off until tomorrow, when 30 of the best prospects will already be off the board.  I don't want to lose stars built around second round packages, so if anyone gets moved, there better be future one's coming back.

Think Ranger Brass have fallen in love with other teams prospects/players. If we trade, likely for prospects, not picks. We should always ask for a pick in a trade.

I am frustrated as well, better be a nice trade if we make any ..can we trade the rights to Glen Sather, making like $7 M a year sitting in Banff, Canada..maybe a 6th?

Like the Yankees under Cashmsn post 2009. But they can't develop, so there was a strained logic to it. The Rangers are almost psychotic.

Nothing on day 1 and probably nothing today other than the picks they have

Knicks seem like the best run team now...

third rounder, Sean Day defenseman 6'2 228 lbs, could be the best skater in the draft. Was granted exceptional status, has issues with positioning and puck Mgmt. Think this was a good pick given the spot, swing for the fences, Rangers are golden in the 3rd round!!

Started a new topic. I let myself sleep an extra hour, so I woke up just as we were picking Day.
