In what was an absolutely wild few days for the organization, it feels like hope has been slightly restored within the New York Rangers fanbase. Chris Drury deserves his flowers for unloading K'Andre Miller for, in my opinion, a lot more than people were suggesting he would get back. He wasted no time in free agency, signing shutdown defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to lesser deal than he was rumored to receive, and on top of all of that, the money K'Andre made right after makes this entire sequ...

In this episode, we touch on pla...
