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

[Doctor King Schultz]

I didn't like his face but I didn't mind his play. He was no improvement over Halpern though.

NYR's Jesper Fast has been assigned to Whale, according to AHL

Fast down

 

[Pizza]

As good a place as any for him to show what he can do.

 

[Overcast]

Kreider and Miller both sent back to the Whale today. SNYRangersBlog saying it might just be a "paper transaction" so they're available to the Whale for playoffs.

[Jarkko Immonen]

Fast, Kreider and Miller. Happy here in CT.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Wow, shocked that Miller was sent down.

Who replaces him at C? Powe? Really wish we kept Halpern.

 

[silverfish]

Miller going down = Boyle going nowhere.

But, it needed to be done.

 

[iamaranger]

arent these usually paper moves so they can play in the ahl playoffs?

of course.. if he was 6'1 he would be in the ECHL or AHL.... only reason he is in the NHL because he is 6'7 but plays like he is 5'2 for a guy this big he is a weak hockey player.

#NYR Both Chris Kreider and J.T. Miller sent back to CT Whale. Neither player saw the ice in the third period Monday night

Kind of happy about this. Neither is getting utilized like they should. The first game Krieder came back was against the Panthers, and I wonder if the style they played that night was due to Krieder returning... Don't know how that would change anything, but maybe the other players dont have confideence in Chris.

That is precisely what it is, IMO

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

You know it's bad when they're *****ing about Torts yanking prospects around on the fan.

 

[haveandare]

Odd that the beat writers had Kreider as a scratch tonight and Miller in though, no?

 

[JD123]

Wow, shocked that Miller was sent down.

No but Sather knows best Why would we need a decent 4th line center/penalty killer when one of the best teams in the east can use him?

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Pathetic management of our prospects by the organization. What a joke.

 

[Callagraves]

We keep them up: people ***** about Torts

We send them down: people ***** about torts

We keep them down there: people ***** about torts

We bring them back up : people cheer

they play poorly: people ***** about torts

we send them back down: people ***** about torts.

seriously. getting old.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Kreider and Miller down -- THANK ****ING GOD. Neither of them are ready for prime time.

It's almost as if people are putting all the responsibility for these players on the coach instead of on the players themselves.

Torts stole their lunch money and women. It's the only answer.

Pathetic management of our prospects by the organization. What a joke.

i dont think so...i think both kids have played themselves out of the lineup....the managemetn has a choice....live with the mistakes knowing it could very well cost you a playoff spot, or send them down for big minutes in CT....both choices are valid...i happen to be with the, live with their msitakes, crowd, but im ok with them sending them down.....keeping them up and playing 2-3 mins is the bad way to go.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Don't say that. People will call you a Kreider hater (even if, like me, you have defended his college numbers and his AHL numbers vehemently)!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

of course.. if he was 6'1 he would be in the ECHL or AHL.... only reason he is in the NHL because he is 6'7 but plays like he is 5'2 for a guy this big he is a weak hockey player.

Uh, no. If he was 6'1, he'd be Powe and be a 7 minute per game 4th liner. But he's 9'10 so he's a better option than Powe and thus gets more ice time.

 

[Trxjw]

About friggin' time.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I'm glad both got sent down.

Not thrilled they were yanked around all season because the team has no depth.

 

[Bardof425*]

Really, what is the purpose of having fresh legs in the lineup who have the ability to score? Trudge along Rangers, trudge along. The only positive is these three don't have to listen to the Clown for the next little while until he is ousted and they are returned; likely next season.
