"If I'm #NYR, I'm trying to lock [Panarin] up. Is [he] going to be unreasonable and walk away? ... I don't think so. I think he loves playing here. That's one, I think, the Rangers are going to need to get done." — @NYP_Brooksie

"When we talk about how talented #NYR are, I think that that has become overstated in recent years ... #NYR just didn't emerge from [the] rebuild with any true, high-end, front-facing, leading-the-charge-kinda guys for your team." — @vzmercogliano from latest New Ice City podcast

At the 42-game mark, #NYR were 4 points back of WC2 and 5 back of WC1. At the 64-game mark they trail WC2 by 1 point and WC1 by 2. It took 22 games to makeup just 3 points, and they're still on the outside looking in with the 4th-most difficult remaining schedule (Tankathon).

"I can think of no better fit for Reilly Smith, especially if #NYR retain half, than the #LeafsForever ... an integral piece of two different Stanley Cup Final runs with the Golden Knights. I just think he's a tremendous add at a not expensive price." — @frank_seravalli

"...the #1 goal, the mission for Chris Drury: figure out how to reinvent this defense core. Whether that means moving K'Andre Miller, whatever it takes. Find out who's going to be part of this #NYR core. Schneider is part of it. Fox is obviously part of it." — @frank_seravalli
