[Williams] Until Hartford can start producing, it’s hard to see this Rangers rebuild going far. There isn’t a lot of talent going into the development system, and what is there is plateauing.

1. Darren Raddysh has been actually a stud for them. he and JJ Moser are basically the top pairing for the Lightning

2. This rebuild is going to be filled with a lot of forgettable years 

3. Reality is half the current roster should be in the AHL and our only prospect with top six/top pair ceiling is Gabe.

4. Sucks how both AHL & Parent squad are so terrible

5. I am very pessimistic about this rebuild (or retool or whatever) partly because of this. I just do not trust this organization to draft well or to do a good job of developing young talent we get through the draft or trades. Those failures are why we’re doing another rebuild so soon, and while Chris Drury was not the GM during the last rebuild he still very much owns its failures because he was the GM for Hartford who failed to develop basically any of our prospects during that time.

6. Please hire someone from Tampa and not Mess

7. After failing as Mets owner, Cohen sent a letter to fans a few years ago promising more DJ nights – many fans are still happy with that. That’s about the ceiling for what I expect from the soulless MSG brass.

8. When you have Jed Ortmeyer developing players what do you expect!!!???? Fucken fire this bum. Who is the fucken moron that hired him.
   What’s better is Tanner Glass is the assistant!!!

9. As long as we didn’t promote the Hartford GM to the Rangers GM then we should be fine.

10. We did it we’ll post lockout. Not a ton of stars but stall, girardi, cally, dubi,hagelin, hobbit. Etc etc etc.

11. The Rangers are one of the worst run orgs in the league.

12. The way this organization is heading reeks of early 2000’s dark ages Rangers.

13. 30 years rebuild fucking yes

14. Very glad Gabe Perrault was untouchable which caused the Guentzel trade to fall through. And all the idiots in this dub defended it too lmao

15. 2030 will be the great reset for the rangers

16. yeah

17. All it takes is a top pick to turn the tide though.

18. Do you mean to say that the Rangers’ problems actually precede Drury by decades, and that continually using the coach and/or GM as a scapegoat is not going to fix the problem like everyone seems to think? You don’t say… /s

19. 

20. Since October 2017, here’s a list of players to have played 50 games each with both Hartford and the Rangers:
    Boo Nieves, Lias Andersson, Filip Chytil, Ryan Lindgren, Libor Hajek, Will Cuylle, Jonny Brodzinski, Zac Jones, Matt Rempe.

21. I think they are going to get a haul for Panarin. If they move Zibenjad they will also do well. They can take on some salary to improve the return as well. If this is done right they can easily net several high draft picks and several prospects. Laffy need a change of scenery he is just going through the motions

22. …they had Kris Knoblauch just sitting there during the Quinn and Gallant years.

23. Let’s see if Drury can outdo Sather’s dark ages.

24. We’re going to have to retool the motherfucking retool aren’t we?

25. What do they mean by via Syracuse?

26. Retooling?! I’ll retool you! Seriously though … he presents an excellent point.

27. Jed Ortmeyer and literally Tanner Glass are running their player development. They are lost.

28. bingo

29. I say this all the time but the Rangers could fumble Mcdavid and he’s super human. They just have zero clue what they’re doing.

30. They’re just going to trade anyone worth anything for picks IMO
