This organization is a clown show. They have no direction., if they wanted to do a rebuild, then they should not have resigned Igor to an 11.5M contact with a full NMC. Now they get rid of a young, dependable player for pennies on the dollar. I have lost faith in Drury as the GM of this team
He really didn’t live up AT ALL. He would be in his 15th year not putting up any points(what he was supposed to do. Not be a third line checker) and people would be crying. He was a BUST in NY. Will he tear it up in Seattle? Maybe. This was a couple years in the making. More trades are coming
Get Drury the hell out of here. Kakko I could care less and I wanted Trouba gone. But signing Igor was dumb/ridiculous and he got robbed. Fire Drury, the whole Trouba debacle over the summer and not moving on from Kakko last year when you could have gotten something. OH and last year not bringing in a wing to win it all like Guetzel or Vatrano is disgraceful. Get Drury out of here he is a moron. Also agree the older guys lack balls and it trickles through the entire locker room. Gm should have seen the lack of grit and adjusted 2 years ago. Get MIka, Kreider, Lindgren outta here. Terrible GM
Marc, I'm with you 100 percent on Igor. It was the stupidest thing they could have done to sign him to that insane contract. He doesn't even deserve close to that. ANTHONY!! EVERYTHING you said I agree 100 percent too!! They are a bunch of pussies to be upset about trade rumors!
Let Drury trade Igor then fire him right after give him a taste of his own medicine. That way you can blame all the crap on Drury and still attract talent with a respectable new GM
Gabe going to college for a few years is a win for the rangers. Now sell everything and rebuild now. Time to sell the team for Leon in Edmonton and Brady in Ottawa. Trade Igor, sign Miko and Mitch in free agency. Keep schneids, laffy, chytil, fox, cuyle, as core and sell the rest. Bring up Gabe and othman
Great show. I told everyone I knew the second they signed Igor to an extension the Rangers were not going to be good. Guess I was right. I hope they send out a rebuilding letter, get what they can for whoever they can trade. Miller has to go, he has only gone backwards, I don't even know what happend to Zib, Trouba had to go, Goodrow had to go. Lindgren is beat up from sacrificing his body over the years. Kakko should enjoy not being a Ranger and getting a fresh start. Let's go Rangers.
They had to get rid of him as he didn’t live up to his potential, but it’s the Rangers who can’t develop players. My concern is we just picked up a defenseman and now another. Then they send Mancini to the minors. We need forwards ( with size , grit and speed)
As for Krieder he still has potential he’s having a down year, but Mika is on his 2nd down year. He should be gone before Krieder
I wish they would fire Drury and hire either Messier or Weeks as GM. It can’t get worse..
I'm with ya here as usual Marc. Management has dropped during this ''rebuild'', but the players dug their on grave too. Another thing, To see so many Rangers fans getting so emotionally attached to players that are underperforming or haven't lived up to their potential above what's best for the TEAM right now. Other teams do this all the time and if it leads to an eventual cup they don't care who was moved to get to that point. Hate to beat a dead horse, but this is a sport, a TEAM sport which is also a business and no one…even Wayne Gretzky is above a trade. Blow up time.
Great Video. Kappo Kakko is gone. The best of luck to him. I had a feeling that this was in the works. Now, everyone has to be worried when they're A Healthy Scratch. Chris Drury, The Executioner, has arrived. I am sad to see Kappo Kakko go, but, this season is very unacceptable & Chris Drury is, at the very least, doing some things. We'll see if it's only A Retool or A Rebuild. I think he was on The Buffalo Sabres.
If Kakko was picked anywhere other than top 10, this wouldn't be an issue. He wasn't going to be re-signed and his value was low. It is what it is. I do find it weird thay he was one guy who wasn't a problem really and we moved him. Telling he went next tho. Maybe he was an issue in the room?
While I like Kappo Kakko. I see this as A Move Not To Overpay Him For Next Year. I wouldn't be surprised if GM Chris Drury signed Igor Shesterkin to have the option to Trade Him, prior to July 1st.
If a shitty no-name defenseman and a couple of worthless late draft picks were all, it would have taken the devils might have taken him because playing with Hughes would have probably made Kakko into a stud
Don't be surprised. Chris Drury might trade away LaF & Igor Shesterkin before their deals kick in. I think Chris Drury has A Plan To Get These Players That Make All Of This Money & Aren't Producing Out Of Town
Chris T – I don't think that Chris Kreider should be traded, as I have said & it's no guarantee that Mika Zibanejad will leave if they trade Chris Kreider.
Evan & I had been discussing if they move Igor Shesterkin to another team, prior to the deal kicking in, as an alternative, on Rangers Central. I think that it might be Chris Drury's Plan (I gave you the money, you didn't improve & carry this team, so, Bye). I hope that I'm wrong & Igor Shesterkin goes back to being an elite goalie, but, I'm thinking that this is the plan. Let me know what you think. This way, Chris Drury turns A Lose-Losf into A Win-Win.
Rangers next trade. Igor to the Hurricanes for Ryan Suzuki and a conditional 7th round pick. Rangers retain 75% salery. LOL. Honestly I would be happy for Suzuki. The Hurricanes are waisting him in the AHL.
Kaako absolutely told the NYR to pack sand… Shesty basically said “if I’m gonna put up with this crap it’s gonna cost 12M a year…” Drury is a MORON, and has no idea what he is doing. Not getting Guentzel last year and now this…
People still defending kakko absolutely blows my mind 😂. Guys flat out terrible! What are people watching i dont get it. Best at scoring when were up 5-0. Numbers dont lie.
Thanks, Marc, Anthony, and Jim for getting together on short notice for another outstanding segment. Happy Holidays to all who contribute to the channel regularly and congratulations on the nuptials Marc. Happy and safe Holiday to Filk as well. This may be one of the most bizarre seasons in Ranger's history, a history that dates back nearly a century, what does that tell 'ya? If Drury can break down this dumpster fire, he AND THIS ENTIRE front office MUST be held accountable for this disaster. I'm talking about John Lilley, Garth Joy, Andy Schneider, Ari Vuori, Jamie Herrington, Jed Ortmeyer, Marc Staal, Tanner Glass, Antti Miettinen, and Mark Ciaccio! Reply if I left anybody off the complaint department! This club should obviously be as focused on an organizational reset as trading some or all of these stiffs, what a mess!

This was a couple years in the making.
More trades are coming
Rangers could f up a wet dream
Good luck to Cocky Coocoo

So just hold onto Kakko for even longer and get nothing? Smart one, Anthony. lol

Annnnnd its rebuild time again for the Rangers…..or bring up rempe and put him on the first line, should solve their problems.

Tonya Harding skates with more purpose than Mika

FIRE DRURY

At the 30 min mark of an over a hour show, oh we are only going to go 10 more min
Matthew – Jeff Gorton got us into this mess with the Jacob Trouba Trade.
If Kakko was picked anywhere other than top 10, this wouldn't be an issue. He wasn't going to be re-signed and his value was low. It is what it is. I do find it weird thay he was one guy who wasn't a problem really and we moved him. Telling he went next tho. Maybe he was an issue in the room?

Thanks for doing this video after doing the regular video
I think that Jim is right, that it was Kappo Kakko wanted out of New York.
Hagens already has chemistry with Perreault. Make it happen. Awful Kakko trade.
kakko was a bust period .. average 3 line player..
Damn, and I thought Lou was bad
If a shitty no-name defenseman and a couple of worthless late draft picks were all, it would have taken the devils might have taken him because playing with Hughes would have probably made Kakko into a stud

Chris T – I don't think that Chris Kreider should be traded, as I have said & it's no guarantee that Mika Zibanejad will leave if they trade Chris Kreider.
Igor Shesterkin might have had an extension, so it makes him easier to trade. I think that I'm figuring out the was Drury is thinking these days.
Evan & I had been discussing if they move Igor Shesterkin to another team, prior to the deal kicking in, as an alternative, on Rangers Central. I think that it might be Chris Drury's Plan (I gave you the money, you didn't improve & carry this team, so, Bye).

The kappo kakko era of three seasons of suck playing and this year of average play. Drury should’ve moved him before the season started.
Kakko sucked. He can’t even control the puck without turning it over. Give me hard nosed north and south players that crash the net and hustle.
I know we've exhausted this point, but Kakko was a catalyst of a Jake Guentzal trade last year, and Henrique/Vatrano. This was a bad trade.
Rangers next trade. Igor to the Hurricanes for Ryan Suzuki and a conditional 7th round pick. Rangers retain 75% salery. LOL. Honestly I would be happy for Suzuki. The Hurricanes are waisting him in the AHL.
None of these trades make the Rangers better! They just move out players. Maybe he is making cap space for a bigger trade.
Kaako absolutely told the NYR to pack sand… Shesty basically said “if I’m gonna put up with this crap it’s gonna cost 12M a year…” Drury is a MORON, and has no idea what he is doing. Not getting Guentzel last year and now this…
So, post rebuild, we have Laffy and Chytil … woo hoo!
People still defending kakko absolutely blows my mind 😂. Guys flat out terrible! What are people watching i dont get it. Best at scoring when were up 5-0. Numbers dont lie.
