Not only do these trades suck, they just simply make us worse overall!

Why does Goodrow waive for last place CBJ?

Rangers say no and no.

If NYR go down in the playoffs- and especially if they get ousted early- I think the coaching staff will be in for more of a shakeup than the players. Don't see Gallant going anywhere anytime soon...but I can see him getting forced to replace an assistant coach or two. Some of the biggest challenges NYR have are related to inconsistent D zone coverage/awareness and getting the forwards to commit to team defense. At times, it all comes together and NYR look to be a Cup contender...when it falls apart, NYR can be easy to play against. So if they fall short- this is most likely their undoing. Putting it on the backs of LaF or Kakko would be a big mistake. Both these guys are coming along nicely. Both still have a ramp in front of them. And even if one or both don't reach expectations- as long as they are paid in line with their production, both are contributors to any NHL team.
