I've only seen limited action of Tanner Jeannot but wtf are they thinking? Why couldn't Foote plus a first get it done? That's already overpaying.

And on another note, notice how GMs are really not fvcking around anymore...a lot of the big fish are being reeled in well ahead of the deadline.

RunninWithTheDevil Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Listening to 32 Thoughts and they're fawning about "How great for the game Kane on Broadway" is going to be.

NJDevils1214 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I'm already really happy with the news lately, but I've also had a personal victory today. I've been working on a friend of mine that's been a very casual hockey fan and claimed the Rags for years. I've been getting him to tune into more Devils games and... Yadda yadda yadda, he's finally relented. I'm buying him a Hischier jersey! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone no one outside of hockey knows coming to a team that hasn’t won in 30 years? Cool Edited February 27, 2023 by Devil Dan 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the Yankees and Dodgers we're talking about. These two franchises have won ONE Cup combined since 1967...hell, the Leafs haven't even BEEN to a friggin' SCF since they last won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they wouldn't be the Rangers if they didn't acquire washed-up stars. They've been doing it since before some of us "old-timers" were born. The list is long and Jacques Plante is on it (although he did pretty well after leaving the Rangers). My favorite is Ken Hodge for Rick Middleton, one of the worst trades ever.

Too many times with that franchise it's not about filling a need...it's about grabbing a name. And then hoping that the resulting mish-mosh somehow jells.

Kane isn’t really ‘washed up’ though. He can still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muevelos Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The Tampa trade isn't as bad as it looks. Similar to the term being used for the trade with Timo, quantity over quality. Cal Foote holds very Little value, 3,4,5th rd picks are whatever, throw ins. It's just quantity. Historically in the NHL a Cup Windows is what 4 years. JBD is actually doing his job as a GM to maximize that window because theirs is closing. It's a good trade for both sides ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's Because Ratelle was my favorite player and I hated to see him go to the Bruins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anhkheg Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Whats crazy is the top 6 teams in the league are all on the east coast, the next 8 are all on the west coast. Dont think I've ever seen that happen before, there were always contenders on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
