With the first puck drop of the season still months away, the topics of this episode are mainly centered around the recent Matt Rempe extension, the Florida Panthers winning back-to-back cups, and the news surrounding which players could be the next to go. The Kreider trade panned out exactly as predicted in our last episode, with the return being on par with what was being speculated. What more can you ask of Chris Drury, who seems to be at the forefront of a lot of hate amongst the fanbase, for a 34 year old aging veteran?

With a Chris Kreider trade allegedly on the horizon, we turn our attention to the return and what it could mean for the Rangers moving forward. The draft is just weeks away, so we chat a bit about a prospect I believe the Rangers are very high on, as well as the available crop of players reportedly available around the league.

Today we have the pleasure of welcoming an amazing guest- Linda Cohn. A household name with decades in the broadcasting business, Linda was on all of our TVs growing up, and she just so happens to be a die-hard New York Rangers fan. From her idols growing up before she made her big break, to once trying out for the Florida Panthers in 2025, we dive in with Linda about the current status of the New York Rangers while looking around the league at the NHL finals, potential trade candidates, and which teams to model new success around. Linda was incredibly generous with her time, and frankly, we could have wrapped two hours worth with her based on how the conversation was going. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!

With rumors reported that the Rangers brass could be looking to move on from former first round picks such as K'Eandre Miller and Alexis Lafreniere, Joe and Steve take a close look at who is available in free agency, some fat that could be cut from the lineup, and peek ahead at the famed 2026 free agent class that's loaded with superstars. In addition to the players available, this class times out with a major piece of the Rangers contract ending- Artemi Panarin. With the cap expected to go up by about 12 million dollars, the additional 11.6 million from the breadman's cap hit would free up 23.6 million for any potential shopping spree Drury would like to go on.

With not a lot of new information out there in New York Rangers world, we pivot our attention to the current state of the NHL playoffs, the curious case to be made of free agency, and which Rangers could perhaps have played their final games with the team. We also tackle an "elephant in the room" in regard to the onslaught of hate that Chris Drury seems to be getting lately, and make a case for the moves he's done well for us. While he's not completely innocent in all of this, I think it's only fair to give credit where it's due.

In today's episode, we take a look at current playoff matchups, speculate on who may be the New York Rangers captain next season, and fledge out some line combinations despite any real news coming from the team this week.

Somehow the Rangers have had some news break in the last week, as the so far eventful offseason has officially began. The first order of business, Chris Drury lands his man and likely first choice for head coach in Mike Sullivan just days after he left Pittsburgh. Mike represents the easy choice here, as a safe hire with tremendous upside given the cast of coaches who were available as the season ended. Drury followed his own multi year extension by awarding his pal Sullivan with the richest head coaching contract in NHL history. In this episode, we review the current playoff landscape, and how we feel about the most recent news in Rangers world.

The sting of the season ending is almost behind us, and the New York Rangers may have already found their new coach; recently separated Mike Sullivan, former head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Fans may also remember Sullivan's brief stint with the Rangers as an assistant coach, and many fans are hoping the two-time Stanley Cup winner can be convinced to rejoin the team that finished in first place just a season ago.

In the wake of the news surrounding exit interviews, the firing of New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette, and the palpable disappointment from fans and players alike, I think it's fair to say we all deserve a long restful offseason. In this episode, we talk about some of the lingering injuries that players came forward about, and can hopefully use this time to rest up. From a management perspective, we touch on the moves we not only anticipate will happen but the moves we would also prefer to see happen, like the Rangers letting go of K'Andre Miller, putting a letter on J.T. Miller's chest, and looking at which coaches are currently available in addition to maybe holding out to see if a team lets go of their current bench boss.

For the first time in a number of years, the New York Rangers season draws to a close in April- something that still doesn't feel real to even imagine. From the high highs of last year's conference finals run, to the extremely high aspiration both the fans and players had, this is truly rock-bottom for a team favorited to win it all at the beginning of the year. It seems as though a number of players may have played their last game in a Rangers uniform, and they very well could be currently searching for a new bench boss. Either way, regardless of how you feel about the current state of affairs, these are all things we will soon forget should the team ever win the cup.

The New York Rangers have been an utter disappointment, and the drop-off from first place overall to missing the playoffs entirely should be studied. How did they manage to get such varying results with a team that looked pretty similar to last year at the start of the season? If you look around the top 6, every single player had a down year, but the issues seem bigger than that. Not only did the stars of the team have huge set backs, but there seems to be a huge rift right now in the locker room, capped by the bombshell information that head coach Peter Laviolette doesn't even go into the room after a game. Not just after a loss, the coach is nowhere to be found after a win. Ask the Cup Champion Florida Panthers where their coach is after a game. Enjoying a post-win speech with the fellas, that's where. Absolutely absurd look for a team without a captain.

It really will come down to the wire with this team, having earned 3 out of a possible 4 points in their last outings, and the race intensifying from other team's success. The New York Rangers sit just outside the current playoff bubble, with crucial games upcoming against beatable teams. With his season at Boston College coming to an end, Gabe Perreault will presumably make the team and play his first game against the Wild on Wednesday night. Will Gabe hit the ground running and provide the spark that this team needs? Today's guest is a special one- Mike Brodzinski, father of current Ranger Jonny Brodzinski, who is in the midst of a career year with New York.

The Rangers fans just cant catch a break. After watching the team struggle to generate shots for the first period, mustering just two total on net before the first buzzer, I somehow convinced myself that it would be a good idea to stay up until 1am just to watch another devastating loss. The team has won just 3 of their last 10, and truly seem to be bowing out at this point. Even well respected players like Mika Zibanejad and Vinny Trocheck said they felt the team played well despite the loss...I couldn't disagree any more, and the fact that some of the leaders in the room feel this way tells you everything you need to know about their current state of unmitigated chaos.

It finally happened, the will to watch this version of the New York Rangers flounder helplessly has completely left my body. After what can only be described as a nightmare rollercoaster season, the Rangers have shown their true colors and flopped in the most epic of ways on Tuesday night. In arguably the worst showing of the season, the Blueshirts registered their lowest shot total since December 23rd- a moment in time that truly symbolized rockbottom. This Flames team was coming off a game where they were dominated by Toronto, and you'd expect a solid push from a group attempting to secure a playoff spot. Instead, the former President's Trophy winning squad put up one of the saddest performances in recent memory. The only one who looked engaged was Igor Shesterkin, posting a .943SV% and even mixing it up physically in attempts to spark something from his team. In hindsight, maybe it's a good thing we extended our franchise goaltender to such a lofty amount. If I were him I would also need eleven and a half million reasons to play for this team.

With the season back in free-fall, the Rangers may finally have given up on themselves and their coach, failing to capture the most precious points in the season. After blowing a lead to the first place Capitals, and letting huge momentum swings halt you against two wildcard teams, the Rangers lose another heartbreaker last night, this time on a powerplay goal to a penalty that should have never been called. To quote another hated New York coach, "it's all right there in front of us" but the group may actually miss the playoffs after winning the Presidents trophy last year.

Rarely do I get this excited to talk about hockey when nothing major has really happened, but it really fires me up to hear how counted out the New York Rangers are. I've been told they're selling, they're not committed to the playoffs, they're not committed to the coach, but yet here we are sitting in a playoff spot. The team pulled off one of the best deadline deals they ever have, acquiring JT Miller for an injury prone 3rd liner and a 2nd round pick. The former 100 point player has hit the ground running and fit the mold of this team perfectly, scoring 14 points in his first 11 games as a New York Ranger. The only player with more in that timespan? His line-mate Mika Zibanejad. Make no mistake, this team expects to make the playoffs and the front office will do everything in it's power to force the issue.

For better or for worse, New York Rangers hockey is officially back. In true Rangers fashion, we came out of the break getting absolutely demolished by Buffalo, surrendering 5 goals in the first period, and ultimately giving up 8 goals in one of the worst beatings of the season. The team rebounded against Pittsburgh, a team on the playoff bubble, and won in unconvincing fashion- very Rangers. With just a days remaining and a few games to play until the official trade deadline, has the biggest move for this team already been made?

One cannot help but be a little frustrated at this version of the New York Rangers. On one hand, there's a strong argument to be made that had JT Miller been on last season's Eastern Conference Finals team, or the iteration that went there two seasons prior, that the team very well could have advanced. On the other hand, it's difficult to watch the team perform so inconsistently night after night. We go from losing to the Penguins, a team that was reeling the loss of their only start player, to beating a more competitive team in the Blue Jackets that were also without their best player- both games decided by just a goal. So which one is it? Are the Rangers back, or should we lower our expectations now while we have the chance?

In what looked to be a far-fetched idea at the time, the New York Rangers and Chris Drury shocked the world, with only the second most surprising trade in sports this week. The trade for JT Miller was originally speculated to include Lafreniere, Chytil, plus a first round pick just to start, but the Rangers were able to only include the latter of the two with Mancini as the sweetener. On paper, the Rangers spent more money to get older, but anyone familiar with JT knows this price only comes around once...unless you were the Lightning in 2018. Regardless, I think it's fair to say the Rangers won this trade and are still not done tinkering.

After a a nice little run to start the month of January off and essentially turn around the season, the Rangers face just their second regulation loss of the new year against the freshly reeling Colorado Avalanche. The game proved as a nice check-in against a contending team, even if it's without cup winner Mikko Rantanen. Though the team faired well against the fellow wildcard foes, it will be interesting to see how the new-look Rangers can navigate the upcoming schedule, with games against mostly struggling teams in contention.
