For Patreon subscribers only, I talked Chris Drury's overhaul of the #NYR scouting and drafting departments. Through 5 drafts, he's taken just 3 guys w/20 GP or more, and one is Othmann.

This plays into roster management issues, w/few pieces to call up.

Adam Fox to LTIR. Lovely. #NYR

More important for Garand to get AHL time, especially with this train wreck of a team. #NYR
The Rangers have returned G Dylan Garand to AHL Hartford and called up Spencer Martin.

6 of the next 8 are at MSG. Well. Shit. #NYR

Excellent thread from Rob. My concern is Drury is at the helm for this instead of someone remotely competent. I’ve tried to find the bright side but ever since last season’s memo and “retool” he’s just a dog chasing a car. He won’t know what to do once he actually catches it. #NYR
I try to be measured and not overreact to one game, but having that poor of a performance is simply not something I saw coming. Last year, the infamous December beatdown by the Devils was the logical conclusion of a team that was self-immolating. This Rangers team, while unimpressive, wasn’t that.

If Fox is out, #NYR are about to be exposed (more) for not having any other puck movers.
Sullivan said Fox is being evaluated for an upper-body injury.

Well that was less than ideal, eh? #NYR

If #NYR blow this…
BTW, no Zacha and no Pastrnak for BOS.

#NYR recall Scott Morrow. Return Connor Mackey to Hartford. Mackey was only up because of the new rules that prohibit paper transaction to the AHL.

Morrow had to play one game in the AHL before he could be recalled again.

I was told Adam Fox doesn’t play defense. #NYR

There’s a lot of money to be made (or lost) betting on the Oilers.
I can't remember ever seeing a team maintain this kind of 5v5 shooting/save numbers to start a season (also known as our old friend "PDO"). Maybe it's short memory, and most of this is driven by goaltending, but it's still impressive.

I have to admit this wasn't what I expected to see when I did the Panarin/Laf compare. This team is frustrating. #NYR
