We’re back….

for now. We continue to work with WP to determine how this happened. CCCP has a few ideas but this is not the time or place nor is speculation a good thing. Right now we are going to try to back up everything up, including the list of “subscribers” so if we have to, we can contact you if this all goes off the rails again.

That someone would do this is really an affront to all of you as well as Ilya, who worked so hard to keep Rangersreport going for many years while still going in to the hospital early every morning and coming home late.

    I am not the most technically savy guy, but I am still unable to access through the website the way I usually did, only through this email that I received. Please keep me posted.

    For the record, my heart sank last night and earlier today when I clicked on the site and saw that it was taken down by the authors. This is my GO TO Ranger site and I enjoy the knowledge and opinions of everyone here. To think I lost that, was quite concerning.

    On a hockey note, I just saw The Athletic trade board. I believe a trade for JT Miller would be a big mistake. I think I would rather see them trade for Frederic from Boston or Olivier from Columbus, if they want to be tougher for the playoffs, but that all depends on what they would have to give up. I just hope Drury doesn’t sacrifice the future for what will most likely be a short playoff run.

    norm – wiles proved n=2 is the only n for which x^n + y^n = z^n where x, y, and x are integers. The proof is about 200 pages of sheer out of this world mathematics.

    I also see Bowen Byrom may be available from Buffalo. Maybe they could swap K’andre for Byrom. Shockingly, trading K’Andre would probably bring the biggest return. Personally, I would probably trade him for a bag of pucks at this stage.

    Drury should be finding out what it would take to sign Borgen. Trade board says $2.7. If that is accurate, I would sign him in a heartbeat. I think anything under $3.75 would be a good deal. So far it seems like he is a solid defenseman who actually knows how to play defense and use his body to win board battles and clear the crease.

    brilliant story re: Wiles and FLT, Wiles wirhh uh ed solo on this. Didn’t tell anyone he was going after the white whale. Fearing he’d be laughed at as everyone and anyone went after Fermat’s Last Theorem. He started around 1984 and for 10 years at around 4-5 hours per day, he worked on it. At a conference Wiles began and soon the audience, all brilliant mathematicians, all saw he was looking at the Toniyama-Shimura conjecture. And soon it was apparent that he was trying to prove FLT. At its conclusion there was tremendous applause. It turned out that there was a flaw that took a year to patch up. Really pushed the. Envelope in Elliptic Curves…

    Rantanen is looking for a big payday that Colorado can’t do. I don’t think the Canes can either. They have a bunch of FA to either pay or replace. He is probably a rental.

    SN/Craig – why is it that sites like puckpedia and nhl.com are unable to correctly list positions for players? I get that some guys that are centers can and sometimes do play wing (and viceversa) but geez get the primary role correct? Half the players listed as centers really play wing most of the time.

  84. Old Ranger Fan Avatar
    Old Ranger Fan

    If the Hawks GM was a poker player he would go home in a barrel. They got fleeced in that trade if the return is as reported. They only got a 3rd rounder for Hall and half of Rantanen’s salary? They gave Hall away. He’s worth something. One of those picks going to the AVs should have gone to them.

    Bobby name the players that you think another GM would be willing to trade for Chytil? I’m not saying it is impossible but how would you feel about giving up assets for Chytil were he say on the roster of Dallas instead? What NYR(s) would you give up in a trade to get Chytil? And would you laude Drury for getting him?

    more than 1/2 season is over. and losing hall more than offsets retention on rantanen. so getting their own 3rd (which is like a 2nd from contender) is pretty good. and if they have plans to offer sheet a guy they’d need that pick – their own.

    at least chytil looks good playing this year. has hardly been the problem for the rangers and he pushes the play when he is in there. has had a couple short lived injuries but has also taken some decent contact and been able to stay in the game

    of course, once again he gets hammered by his own player blindly across middle last game. thank goodness he was ok. looked similar to when he collided with sammy blais.

    Chytil amazingly still is not well aware of his surroundings. And Corporal you are right, he’s not been the biggest issue on the team this season, even with his less than stellar defensive play. Even so, he probably should not be part of the equation in future seasons but up to Drury to figure out how to make that happen.

    Chytil is fearless and clueless which is an asset and a liability; he thinks offense all the time; came down twice with the puck on 2 on 1s breakouts and both times shot the puck. He also had 2 neutral
    Zone turnovers when up 3-0 which is just dumb hockey trying deke a 2nd opponent. Fans ooh and aah when he skates around defenders but his play is somewhat reckless esp when games get tight in the second season. Must drive the staff nutz.

    “Chytil 8 goals and 13 points in 33 playoff games during the last three years. “

    But anyone remotely concerned with a fair assessment throws out the 6 playoff games from last year.

    After playing only 10 regular season games, with the last being in November of 2023, he played one playoff game against Carolina in May 2024.
    Then he was thrown the Conference Finals against Florida for 5 games. It probably should never have happened.

    Toss those games and he’s got 8G 5A in 30 games.
    That’s .433 pts/ game, at age 23, while playing 13:58 per game.

    At age 25, Kreider had played 77 playoff games averaging .48 pts/ game while playing 15:17 per game.

    That’s a difference of less than 5/100 of a point with more ice time and substantially more PP time. And were talking about “Mr Playoffs” here.

    At age 23 Jonathan Marchessault had played 2 NHL games. By age 25, he had 1 point in 7 playoff games played over two years.
    He’s gone to average about 3/4 of a point over 102 playoff games.

    Chytil’s has PK’d almost 3 times as much as Kreider did at the same age.

    I don’t know wwpd I like Chytil. I don’t think he’ll go out of his way to hit anyone but he is clearly unafraid to go the dirty areas…..where Mika Mouses fear to tread. And I say he’s got cajones considering his concussion history.

    I have had 7 if memory serves and once playing football I was knocked cold. Wasn’t afraid to throw my body into anything…. before that….after that well….see Mika Mouse.

    Getting the Borg extended now makes a trade at deadline easier if Drury is inclined to go that way.

    25/26 NMC
    26/27 15 team
    27/28 10 team
    28/29 6 team
    29/30 none

    1M signing bonus each of the first two years so contract could be bought out after that if necessary

    When Chytil stands in the crease and gets cross checked repeatedly and whacked in the ankles I’ll say he “goes to the dirty areas”. While true that he likes to prance through center ice, if he gets clocked that is on him not paying attention more than anything else.

    KAM already making 3.9… he is arb eligible RFA, significant drop off in offensive production which seems to be the only thing driving the salary numbers … he’s not going to take 4.1, probably more a question of what you think he gets in arbitration.

    Small sample of games playing a bit more like a real defenseman; I’d still listen to any and all offers for him. I’ve never been a big fan of offensive defenders so I’m ok replacing him with a stay at home. We have forwards to score points.

    Playing Flip at RW would limit his Dzone deficiencies while allowing his speed to stretch the D. He doesn’t have the defensive fortitude for center imho, which is fine, put him where he can thrive and pot 30+ but prolly never happen.

    Drury may freeze at the deadline wrt Miller and Lindgren if the team is still playing well and relatively better positioned in the playoff pool.

    Upsetting the team chemistry and taking away Fox’s blanky at same time may be too risky. KAM they can still move over the summer so .. 🤷‍♂️

    If they get JT and Chtyil is not part of it, Tro to 3C, Chytil to 3R and either Smith or Kaliyev bumps Rempe out of 4R (or one of them goes away in another move).

    In his 380 games Chara has played over a 1000 more minutes in this comparison.

    By the end of the season the number of games played for KAM should be close to 370, with approximately another 740 minutes.

    I think Borgen signed for less than I thought he’d get

    good deal for rangers given where they are with need on D and what may or may not be available on the open market

    Eddie O had great things to say about Borgen upon the trade

    there is a reason he was taken from Buffalo I. Expansion and why he garnered a former #2 OA

    both players in need of change of scenery and both fitting in well with new teams

    So Seattle was hiding CyBorg on 3rd pair? His deal speaks to future as 2nd pair bedrock like we have seen so far, the most recent game had him make a smart pass to Miller Lite for his wrister goal from the point.

    He is also USA product so Dreary gets a chubber over that. Could end up being a nice add, let’s hope so…

    I do think k’andre will hold out for big bucks and I do think also that Drury will provide them. Plays all situations, only Foxyclean gets more ice.

    the way k’andre is utilized shows they think of him like a 1b dman rather than a marginal defender who should be either moved to wing or shot into deep space.

    The NHL was not fully assimilated by the Borg until his first full (82 gp) season in 22/23. This may be only his third season over 72 games. His previous high ATOI was 17:35, 16:20 was more usual. NYR he has seen 18:35, hopefully he has the conditioning to cross the finish line and if they happen, survive the playoffs. He’s actually played 72 games less than 7of9, though has as many hits.
