not with Smith and Staal in your top 4 D

Lindgren? Him with Fox, Miller with Trouba, then either Staal or Smith with Tony.

Run their contracts and let them walk, it's sad to say but it's time for the king to walk too, then there will be more than enough cap space to resign key players, and acquire better D from free agency, or wait for Miller and Robertson to develop and play them, damn the blue shirts don't really need Laffy IMO, they need quality defenceman, these guys are going to win at the very least, one cup ring once they get some quality D

NYR definitely have an exciting future ahead of them with a cupboard full of top prospects and young players -- they just need to get out from under a few contracts first, as you pointed out.

Quickest way to kill the rebuild before its a contention window are long term deals for Strome and Tony D. But that Strome deai is def something i could live with as long as it comes with no clauses. Which means he is never signing that cheap with no clauses.

Replace 'Di Giuseppe' with ' Alexis Lafreniere' and the Rangers are top ten in the league in scoring again
Keep that defense and they are bottom ten in the league in goals against. Again.
