New York Rangers did not sign any big-name free agents on day 1 of NHL free agency but opted to trade for Pittsburgh Penguins winger Reilly Smith and former Edmonton Oilers center Sam Carrick. Rangers still have some moves to make and could possibly find a move for captain Jacob Trouba at some point this offseason to open up even more cap space.

I don't hate this pick up if he's for 3rd line . We still need a 1rw , Trouba needs to go I don't care about his wife's job . Bargain Bin Drury needs to secure an actual top level player.
Building the best team doesn’t mean you need the best players. How many times is mcdavids name on the cup? Value and team fit is what’s important. We went toe to toe and lost to the team that won the cup. We are not in need to spend money on players who are not good value.
So we basically running it back? With a couple of different depth pieces
I trust Drury. I trust Laviolette. It didn't seem like we hit any homeruns yesterday, but I have to believe that they think Smith will fit our system well. He's a skilled player that consistently put up 20+ goals. Playing with Zib and Kreider (if that's where he goes) could see him produce at that level or higher. For a second round pick (and a 5th), this is a great deal. He's better than Roslivic and Wheeler so instant upgrade on the top line. Sam Carrick is meh. I would have looked internally and saved a million bucks.
You’re more optimistic than I am especially after every team in the division got better.. should of signed bertuzzi
Rangers lost bigtime during the opening of the Free agency. It's clear the Rangers organization didn't have a plan going into FA based off of the lack of rumors leading up into FA or, they just didn't reach out to anyone. The only real way for the Rangers to really improve at this point would be via a blockbuster trade.
Trouba needs to go by trade, buyout, or waivers. I don't care how it happens but needs to happen.
