Blueshirt Bandwidth #82: Everything's Coming Up Rangers
A week from the lottery, Eric and Joe break down what happens if the Rangers fall to three or four, why the top two picks being wingers is mildly unnerving, and which Ranger is most likely to start an international incident.
Episode 82 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Martin Straka episode. A good player for a time when everything is coming up Rangers (question mark?). Charlie Vidal makes corrections in the Ombudsman Report, along with the all-time Rangers shootout leader (it might not be who you think), the Dan Girardi gift that actually lost the 2014 Cup Final, and a fresh batch of J.T. Miller "controller disconnected" clips. From there, Joe and Eric dive into: the Rangers locked into the third-best lottery odds at 11.5 percent, the case for trading back if they fall to three or four, and why the top of this draft being two wingers is mildly unnerving. Connor McDavid FutureWatch is officially on after Edmonton is pushed to the brink in the first round, Brady Tkachuk got swept out of the first round and is not the answer, the Dallas Stars are a game from elimination (which would hand the Rangers a better conditional pick), Vincent Trocheck's trade value has gone up, not down, and Rick Tocchet is doing his level best to drive Matvei Michkov out of Philadelphia. Then it's Q&A: the most and least likely players to be moved this offseason, lottery predictions, and a long, unresolved fight about Disney World. Give it a listen!
