Recalled/Assigned: All-Encompassing Call-ups Thread (4/29: Thomas, 9 others recalled to NYR)

[Jarkko Immonen]

why do teams sign players like this to NHL contracts especially if they dont have any NHL skill or a chance of being an NHL player even as a spare?? wouldnt it be better if teams signed players like this to an AHL contract so it saves an NHL contract. i doubt teams would be lining up for players like these...

I think the idea is to provide some veteran leadership for the young guys. But yeah, I don't know, they also signed Logan Pyett and had Mike Vernace. Though I wouldn't say Collins is really taking a young guy's spot (would love to see Niemi used a lot more going forward) because there's not too many young defenseman in the system at this level just yet. That's one reason Kundratek supposedly asked for a trade. He was stupidly buried below Bickel/Nightingale.

snyrangerblog says Eminger is recalled

must meen DZ is questionable

I want to remind everyone the team got 9 of 10 pts then Nash, Powe went down, Asham was out last night and now maybe DZ

It does'nt help in the last two games having to play Mashinter, Bickel and one of the kids Kreider/Miller.............not blaming those guys but just pointing out the last few games have been a struggle and injuries may be playign a part

 

[nyr2k2]

Yeah it's on the AHL transaction page as well.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

The cup is ours

Any update on DZ?

 

[Miller Time NYR]

hopefully just a precaution in case del zotto and asham both cant play tomorrow night, but del zotto "limping and noticeably banged up" doesnt sound good.

Christian Thomas

According to Jason Wilson's tweet seems NYR recalled Thomas.

"Jason Wilson ‏@sirjwilly
Big shout out to my teammate @cpt27 and former teammate and good friend @Dreamer_Aliu78 for being called up to the #NHL. Well deserved."

 

[Kakko]

whoa. that's interesting

 

[KingWantsCup]

Awesome. Finally get to see what this kid's all about.

 

[surlysailor]

Yeah I'm stoked to see him. Even if it's for PP time, kid has a rocket of a shot from what I've read.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Go Stumpy Jr, guess Nash is out for a bit longer than tomorrow

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Super excited to see his shot! Though I worry about his size in the NHL. But would be nice if he got 2nd PP minutes.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

hmm....i dunno what to make of this... he better get ice time. he would be useless on the 3rd and 4th line

 

[nyrpassion]

Nicee!!!

 

[Clowes Line]

I'm confussed. Mashinter going back down?

 

[nyrpassion]

Although, what are the Rangers not telling us about Nash?

 

[broadwayblue]

How has he looked in CT?

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

I'm confussed. Mashinter going back down?

hopefully Bickel

 

[NYR Viper]

hopefully Bickel

If I had to guess, MDZ is out and Bickel will be on defense. Thomas up at forward.

Looking forward to seeing him.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Good, let's give all these kids a shot. Hope something clicks so we can win games without Nash.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

If I had to guess, MDZ is out and Bickel will be on defense. Thomas up at forward.

Looking forward to seeing him.

Why not Eminger for DZ?

 

[NYR Viper]

Why not Eminger for DZ?

Emigre has looked like straight crap in the AHL. Team seems to like Bickel

 

[NYR Viper]

How has he looked in CT?

Much better in the last 15 games or so. Shooting from everywhere, something the team needs. One of the more skilled players in the Rangers system.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Yay! I'm so excited. Can't wait to see what he can do.

 

[The Gloaming]

Good for him. Has a wicked shot. Can't hurt the powerplay at this point.

 

[Made Dan]

Wasn't expecting this. Very excited to get a look at him.
