Really hope AV shuffles up the lines a little.
Kreider/Nash-Richards-MSL
Kreider/Nash-Brassard-Zucc
Hags-Stepan-Pouliot
4th line
I would've traded Callahan for Dubinsky straight up in a heartbeat. I would've shipped Cally to CBJ in the Nash deal and not Dubi.
I would've made Dubi the captain over Callahan.
This post is entirely serious.
Miss ya, Dubi.
Carolina fans calling us the Smurfs, we'll see who the Smurfs are when the game is over.
Besides, Zucc brags about being taller than MSL, so it can't be that bad..
well, we're small and blue, so.
Just back from vacation, excited to see this new lineup for the first time. Love the addition of Marty, but very sad to see Cally go. He was my favorite Ranger and I had just got his jersey for Christmas.
True. 1st round picks are valuable if it's top5. The Rangers have only had a top5 pick once in franchise history. I think that was in the Original Six era. Says enough. We never suck enough to draft high.
They had to trade for that one though.
The smurfs always win. Let's be smurfs from now on.
I like the first setThere's a few line combinations I'd like to try.
Just flip Kreider and Hagelin to have the finisher with St. Louis and the playmaker with Nash:
Kreider - Richards - St. Louis
Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Pouliot - Brassard - Zuccarello
Load up the top two lines, Hagelin and Pouliot were fairly successful with Miller in th middle earlier this year:
Kreider - Richards - St. Louis
Zuccarello - Stepan - Nash
Hagelin - Brassard - Pouliot
Put Nash and St. Louis together - they played a lot together on Canada's 4th line. 2nd line was a successful one from earlier in the year:
Nash - Richards - St. Louis
Kreider - Stepan - Zuccarello
Hagelin - Brassard - Pouliot
I am excite.
They have the same nose.well, that brings up a great avatar, if we'd make the playoffs. How about Hagelin is Smurfette, Hank is Papa Smurf and Crosby is Gargamel?
They have the same nose.

on a much more serious not, the Rangers, aside from the Staals, really will have to watch Andrej Sekera. He's a really good defender and can add on the offense as well. Tries to go through center ice a lot, when he's carrying the puck, please deliver a knockdown.
