@amsacramone Can I recommend some dinner guests for you?

From me @NRO, with a frightening warning to voters: A List of Things Democrats Might Do If They Retake Power nationalreview.com/corner/a-list-…
Alright, I'm convinced. You shouldn't build around a goaltender. Just point me to the Hockey Player Store where I can return Igor Shesterkin and get me a few of them Connor McDavids for my team. That's how this works, right?
@rangersfan4lyfe They have $4.4M right now. They could SELTIR Igor today and have his full $11.5 to play with. So, who are they trading for and what are they giving up to get that player?
Two points... 1) It's less of an exception/rule than is regularly suggested, especially lately: 2025 - Bobrovsky - 11.36% 2024 - Bobrovsky - 11.98% 2021 - Vasilevskiy - 11.66% That's half of the last six Cup-winning teams. Also there are several examples of teams with goaltenders in the 8-9% of the cap range who won going back to 2009. 2) If the Rangers had a Nathan McKinnon or Jack Eichel or Sidney Crosby to build around, I'd probably feel differently. But they don't. You work with what you have. Which brings me back to: You could have dispensed with Igor, found good but clearly inferior goalie to pay something like $6 million AAV and then... do what with that remaining $5.5?
@iEricKohn Taking the exception and not the rule is certainly a choice. Twisting sh*t into a pretzel is still a sh*t pretzel.
I'm in agreement with Jonny. If you look at those two Panthers Cup teams, Sergei Bobrovsky ate up about the same percentage of the cap as Igor does now. That didn't mean he was the "linchpin" on the team's success, nor did that cap hit prevent them from otherwise improving the team enough to win two championships. The Rangers' problem is that they lack enough high-end talent up front. Part of that is on their failures to draft and develop players successfully. But since Igor signed his extension, who was out there that you would have preferred to spend the cap delta between his contract price and the price of whoever the lesser goaltender was you brought in to replace him on? The free agent classes have been barren wastelands. They should look for trades where they can, but that requires someone willing to dance with you in a deal. You can only control the things that are within your control. Having and resigning the best goaltender in the NHL was within their control, and made all the more reasonable by the swiftly growing salary cap. I don't see the feasible plan for how this team would have been better if they'd have decided to part ways with Shesterkin.
Does anyone seriously think the #NYR would be a significantly better built team if Igor Shesterkin made $8.5M instead of $11.5M? Is a $3M difference really the issue? Every team struggles when they lose their best player, no matter the position. In today’s cap world, the
As @JoeFortunatoBSB has said on the pod multiple times, your level of hysteria and “do something” panic about the Rangers goaltending situation says a lot about what you thought this team would be this year
@Musk_killed_tw I really think the biggest mistake of Drury’s tenure isn’t something he did but something he didn’t do: trade for Jake Guentzel
If things were different, then they’d be different

@koko_costanza Wrote about Montembeault in this piece a few weeks ago: blueshirtbanter.com/5-realistic-go…
Binnington has been bad for a while now (-5.0 GSAE). I don’t think he helps. Gibson has the best pedigree, for sure, but he hasn’t been great to start the season (-4.2 GSAE) and I have to imagine the price is higher than they’d like to pay for one year of help. Stolarz is arguably the most enticing option (1.5 GSAE). But he’s on the first year of a new four year contract and will probably cost the most. Don’t see how any of these are really workable right now.
The New York Rangers have talked about Jordan Binnington, John Gibson, and Anthony Stolarz as potential goalie acquisitions. Per, David Pagnotta. #NYR H/T @puckempire
I've said a lot of negative things about Dave Rubin, but credit where it's due: Creating conservaslop that truly stands out on X in its idiocy and hysteria is like beating SGA, Luka Doncic, and Wemby in a game of 1-on-3, and D-Rubez nailed this.
I used AI to create this short film. America, you’ve been warned.
@IrishHart1970 It's definitely a question of cost. But adding Binnington, who is arguably worse than both Garand and Korpisalo, just doesn't make sense. Maybe Winnipeg wants to flip Daws, but I don't know how much of an improvement that is, either.
I think that's an overpayment. 2024-25 was the last time he posted a positive goals saved above expected, and his trajectory is downward. He was worst in the league in that metric last season. You're paying almost entirely for reputation of what he did years ago. Don't know that it represents a real improvement.
