My post-deadline #NYR assessment. Call it the "Dirty Dish Theory." You're not mad that the Rangers didn't trade Vincent Trocheck. You're mad about what that represents.

Are we sure Lou Lamoriello isn't still in charge?
Famous last words, but I don't see Carolina as a team that will meet NYR's price for Trocheck. They're very disciplined in sticking to their valuations.
Feels like NYR are banking on desperation from Detroit or a last-minute buyer like Boston or Montreal.
Make that 77 points
Mika Zibanejad is playing at a pace of 34 goals and 75 points over 82 games. His best rates for both in three seasons despite the calamity around him. That's extra effort.
They should send Trocheck out for the Modern Era Alumni pre-game ceremony.
We knew Trocheck has been out there on the trade market. The sitting of Carrick tonight is the new, encouraging outcome. Pound-for-pound, he's the most important player for #NYR to trade in the next 24 hours.
We have trade grades and analysis for all moves leading up to tomorrow's deadline. Updated in real-time as trades come through.

Incumbent advantage usually supposes that the challenger has to do massive amounts of work to gain relevancy but Lander is probably more well-known in his district than Goldman at this point. He's a rockstar in Brooklyn.
Purely speculating but it would make sense if Drury is banking on Detroit being the team to blink. There's a lot of pressure on Yzerman to make a big addition.
Downstream effect of RHDs Parayko and Weegar half-unexpectedly being available is that it probably hurts Braden Schneider's market value. May be worth holding on at least through the summer.
the "gradually and then all at once" structure of public opinion moves is a wild thing, and one way you know it's happened is when politicians of the moderate / poll-driven / cynical type jump in with takes that just recently were seen as provocatively ideological www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
The parallels between her campaign and Cuomo's are many. A really mediocre effort.
Jasmine Crockett said she didn't need to convince Republicans to vote for her to win a general election and then she couldn't even get Democrats to vote for her lol
Avery Hayes is going to be the new Mark Donk in Pittsburgh. Bookmark it.
The secondary fallout of Talerico's likely win in Texas is that a Kamala Harris endorsement seems to hold little water.
As Robert Thomas to the Sabres looks increasingly likely, I imagine this will clear the runway for teams to make their final bids on Vincent Trocheck.
Also, these types of puddles have existed in the NYC subway system since I was born. It's raining outside. What do you expect?
A hilarious and predictable outcome of Mamdani's success is that the people who usually insist on hands-off government suddenly have switched gears and decided that every minor inconvenience they encounter is the direct responsibility of the mayor.
Seeing the pushback against the current nonsense in Iran is almost surreal. The response from even reasonable people in the face of the Iraq War was something of a mass psychosis that did't break for years.
Republicans are defending on their heels and we're not even a week in.
NYR getting pummeled at home by a team outside the playoff picture that is also missing its leader scoring (a defenseman who has 18 points more than the second-best guy).
Can't even lean on the Shesterkin/Fox injuries. A miserable product with virtually no redeeming qualities.
Gavrikov's game has dropped recently. A lot of it was Fox's injury. I think it's fair to wonder if the team unexpectedly (at least in his mind) sucking + the Panarin trade have been demoralizing.
The Platner situation (and the greater political environment which informs the stakes of the race) is delicate & complicated and would highly benefit from informed Jewish voices to parse out.
Instead, I log on and see Neera Tanden and Ryan Grim using antisemitism as a tool for their pet projects.
Is it good when the President of the United States paraphrases Lord Farquaad?
From September:

I’m ready to pre-order 10 years in advance whatever book someone eventually writes explaining how Mamdani got Trump to trust him.
A PP assist for Artemi Panarin. His first point as an LA King.
I've had multiple people send this to me
