Episode 102 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Brian Leetch Episode—Joe and Eric run through the short list of significant Rangers who've worn No. 2 before diving into the week's biggest storylines: Chris Kreider's landing spot in Montreal and whether a reunion ever made sense, the Rangers' quiet (and frustrating) inaction on a Gabe Perreault extension before the CBA's eight-year deal deadline, and Connor Hellebuyck's reported refusal to report to Winnipeg's training camp. Plus rookie camp overreactions, Scott Morrow's crowded path to Broadway, and listener mailbag questions on GM job security, preseason strategy, favorite Bond movies, and more.

Episode 101 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Ed Giacomin Episode. Joe and Eric dive into Fraser Minten's new seven-year, $7.2 million deal with Boston and what it means for a Gabe Perreault extension, debating what number is too high for an eight-year deal. From there, a Quinn Hughes trade scenario involving the Wild and a possible Godfather offer for Dylan Larkin, whether Chris Drury's seat is actually warming up now that Quentin Dolan is running the organization, and whether the Rangers' $36.75 million defense corps is a legitimate top-two group in the league. Plus: bourbon rankings, the Nathan Fielder-Elizabeth Holmes documentary trailer, and the one NHL legend they each wish had actually been a Ranger.

It's the 100th episode of Blueshirt Bandwidth. They said we wouldn't get here. Who said that? We're not sure, but they definitely exist and they definitely said it. We guess this is the John Davidson Episode, as he's the only Ranger to have worn 00 in a game. Joe is calling in from a hotel with poor internet and no video, marking the milestone with (fittingly) the roughest audio setup in the show's history. From there, Joe and Eric break down the reported Eeli Tolvanen signing—a one-year, $1.5 million deal—and what it means for the bottom nine, sketching out new forward combinations and debating who gets squeezed out (Taylor Raddysh, Matt Rempe, Adam Sykora) versus who should actually be the 13th forward. They also revisit the Scott Morrow debate, argue over how many more years the Rangers can lean on a 28-year-old Adam Fox and 30-year-old Igor Shesterkin, and reopen the case for the franchise's worst trade ever—Sergei Zubov and Petr Nedved for Ulf Samuelsson and Luc Robitaille, or Pavel Buchnevich for a practically nothing. Plus: where Connor Hellebuyck could actually land and if Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid will command the max in their next contracts.

Episode 99 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Wayne Gretzky Episode, obviously—Eric is out, so Chip steps in and then unveils an over/under betting board on the season ahead that carries most of the show. A Gabe Perreault assists line turns into a real conversation about what Will Cuylle's next contract should look like. From there: whether Quinn Hughes stays put in Minnesota and Jason Robertson in Dallas, why a Dylan Larkin trade doesn't make sense for the Rangers right now, and another round of Corey Pronman pile-on. Plus: Kevin Hayes signing in the KHL, the Hartford Wolf Pack's new coaching staff, and Joe's New Haven pizza rankings.

Episode 98 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is a nameless one—no Ranger has ever worn No. 98—but Joe and Eric still find plenty to dig into. They break down Scott Morrow's new one-year, two-way extension and what it does (and doesn't) say about his future with the team. Then, they torch Corey Pronman for leaving Gabe Perreault off his rankings of the top 156 NHL players and prospects under 23 entirely. From there it's a loaded mailbag: private equity buying into pro sports, the Cutter Gauthier fallout in Anaheim, what Nikita Kucherov's next contract could look like, whether Drake Batherson or Alex DeBrincat makes more sense as a trade target, and more.

Episode 97 is the Matt Gilroy Episode, and Joe and Eric revisit Gilroy's famously wooden commercial cameo before running through his actual Rangers résumé (142 games over three seasons, plus stops in Tampa, Florida, and Ottawa). The Rangers' new sports performance hires—Matt Price, Mike Wagner, Matt Hawkey, and the additions to the training staff—turn into a longer conversation about Quentin Dolan's growing footprint in the organization and whether James Dolan is setting up to eventually hand him the team. Adam Fox getting ranked 13th among NHL defensemen by NHL.com annoys Joe and Eric greatly, and a mailbag question about Will Cuylle, Noah Laba, and Gabe Perreault's next contracts turns into a real case for locking up Perreault now, before the offer-sheet market catches up to him. Plus: Your questions that lead to a debate about menswear.

Episode 96 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Emerson Etem episode. Joe and Eric dig into whether Braden Schneider's one-year, arbitration-avoiding deal actually makes him easier to trade, tying it to the Yankees' demotions of Anthony Volpe and Jason Domínguez and the case for trading a prospect a year too early rather than a year too late. A Scott Morrow mailbag question spirals into a standing moratorium on trading with the Carolina Hurricanes and a rundown of the Rangers' worst draft misses—Lias Andersson, Vitali Kravtsov, and Dylan McIlrath over Cam Fowler and Vladimir Tarasenko—with credit to Chris Drury for firing Gordie Clark's regime before it could pass on Gabe Perreault. Also covered: whether James Dolan trading the Knicks and Rangers for the Yankees would actually be a downgrade and early picks on which NHL coach gets fired first. Plus: the return of jail-or-no-jail airport rulings, a listener asking what it costs to never hear Joe say "catheter" again, Morgan Freeman versus James Spader to narrate your life, ranch versus blue cheese, and a F***, Marry, Kill featuring Chip's imaginary sister.Watch & subscribe to the podcast on YouTubeSubscribe to Blueshirt Banter for $85/year to read and comment on all of our great content!
It's an entirely un-New York Rangers related bonus podcast, as Eric and Chip spend some time after the MLB trade deadline pondering if the Los Angeles Dodgers are bad for baseball, and then try to make sense of the moves—or, more specifically, the lack of moves—the New York Yankees made. Give it a listen (if you're also a baseball fan)!
