It’s only the middle of January, but the New York Rangers are already looking to put the 2025-26 season behind them and turn their attention to the future. A future without Artemi Panarin, it appears. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the struggling Blueshirts don’t plan to offer the star winger a contract extension as the…
The Vancouver Canucks ' pending unrestricted free agent Kiefer Sherwood is on the trade block, and they've been taking offers from teams all over the league. The New York Rangers are one of those teams that put a deal on the table recently. But their announcement on Friday that they're now into a 'retool' period makes it sort of doubtful that they'll be buying in on a 30-year-old player who is in such high demand at the deadline, and is on an expiring contract. Neverthe...
With Carson Soucy not traveling for personal reasons, the Rangers recalled Connor Mackey—adding another layer of intrigue to a roster already in flux after Letter 2.0.

The Rangers have officially informed Artemi Panarin he won’t be offered an extension, clearing the way for one of the biggest names on the 2026 trade market as the sell-off begins.
New York Rangers GM Chris Drury released a letter to fans on Friday , making some bold statements, most notably the fact that they will be conducting “a retool built around our core players and prospects.” However, Artemi Panarin will not be one of those 'core' players. According to insider Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet , Drury met with players personally before releasing the letter. As part of this retool process, Artemi Panarin was informed that he will n...
The Rangers are officially done pretending. Joe and Eric react to Drury’s letter and map out what a real retool looks like—starting with Vincent Trocheck.
Chris Drury confirmed what the standings already suggested: the Rangers are shifting toward a retool. With selling now firmly on the table, changes could begin as soon as the coming weeks.
The Philadelphia Flyers were a resilient team in the first half of the season.
Through their first 41 games, the Flyers only lost consecutive games five times, and only one time were those back-to-back losses in regulation. Their longest losing streak was three games, but they earned a point in each of those losses against top teams in the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes.
So when the Flyers dominated the Ducks again in a Trevor Zegras revenge game to end the first half o...
When the history of the New York Rangers is written, Artemi Panarin will be remembered as one of the organization's best free agent signings. The time has come for him to go, and the return may not be what we're hoping for.

*Boy this team looks real bad right now, huh? Last night’s game in Pittsburgh did not do a lot to inspire any confidence that they’re going to figure it out any time soon. Rangers tomorrow; one assumes a large number of their annoying fans will be taking the train down. Should be a real party. RECAP !
*So 2/3 of the way through the game against the Sabres Wednesday night we knew Dan Vladar was hurting, but now we know Dan Vladar is injured . Not great, Bob! [ The Athletic ]

The New York Rangers may have hit rock bottom with that ugly 10-2 loss to the Boston Bruins last weekend, but they haven't been able to stop the bleeding yet. They're now winless in five straight, and have just one win in their last nine. They're edging closer and closer to official "SELL" territory (if they aren't there already). The biggest name, of course, that GM Chris Drury could move, is pending unrestricted free agent—and Rangers top scorer—Artemi Panarin. It doesn't appear as if ...
The Edmonton Oilers have a problem. They’re pressed up tight to the salary cap, and while they’ve been able to manoeuvre by activating Jake Walman and Tristan Jarry from the Long-Term Injured Reserve by placing an injured Adam Henrique there, they won’t be able to do that forever. In fact, when the time comes to…
Four goals, no win, and no answers—just draft math, trade deadline thoughts, and growing doubts about J.T. Miller.
The Rangers are toast, the locker room feels hollow, and patience is officially gone. Joe and Eric argue about blame, leadership, and what burning it down really means.
From Gretzky banners to Olympic roster myths, the Ombudsman is back to clean up another week of podcast inaccuracies.

Some positive regression in shooting percentage.
The New York Rangers season went from bad to worse last weekend as they let the Boston Bruins put up a 10-spot on them, and now, all the attention has turned to GM Chris Drury, and exactly how he's going to handle his roster. The Rangers are last in the Eastern Conference and there's no doubt some big moves are coming for the blue shirts. They've had some injury troubles this season, including goaltender Igor Shesterkin, but it's certainly a disappointing season to this point on Broadway, as m...

The New York Rangers are having another bad season and the team has the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only team under .500 in the East and have lost eight of their last 10 games. It makes too much sense for the Rangers to sell and they have the means to change things up and bring in helpful pieces. The big trade candidate is Artemi Panarin, who had reportedly rejected a big contract extension and isn't going to take a team-friendly deal to stick around. T...
