I'd argue that under that standard, Buch has certainly not earned a spot like that.

The optimism in this thread is worrisome. Must be some young bloods. Things never, ever go well when we sign a big-name UFA to a massive contract. When Gaborik, who only had two healthy seasons with us, is touted as evidence to the contrary, you know things are bad.
gaborik signed a 5 year deal...scored 40+ in 2 of the first 3 years which is extremely rare for this franchise...then in year 4 was turned into brassard who was really good for us and then turned into zibanejad. if you don't think that signing turned out beyond fantastic both in the short and long term than you couldn't be more wrong.

Our sentiments are in more agreement than you think. The bar is low for us when it comes to UFA signings.

Gaborik is the closest comparable though. Gomez and Drury were not on the same level as Panarin, Holik and Redden were always terrible signings and Richards turned 31 before joining NYR.
He has not earned a spot. He has earned a really long look at camp there. Thereafter, it should be entirely up to him if he makes it.

Why is it worrisome? What is it to you if fans are optimistic? This whole "other people are optimistic this a huge problem" mentality on the message board is not a positive one.

Also the idea that being on this team rather than another predestines a specific outcome for a player is superstitious silliness
Right. You can argue that these type of signings generally don't work out but it's not because it's on the Rangers vs. another team.

I don't believe so. I think Artemi is kind of an old fashioned Russian name. I've honestly never heard of another Artemi before.
Because we just went through this with DeAngelo last year. In various guises. If Buch is here, be prepared for the same thing if he does not play on the top line immediately.
They would have had someone to lean on if he was not here. They could easily lean on Kreider and not feel pressure. That is a top line wing. That is NOT a reason for wanting someone at all cost. And what if "all cost" would have been $14m?
If one of them outplays Buch (providing that it is he and not Kreider) that is here, then that is on Buch to figure out why he was beaten out by an 18 year old.

That too. don't worry. The same gnashing of teeth will happen this year.
What you just did is prove his point while thinking that you were proving him wrong by arguing against a point he didn't make.

hey hanrahan!
He's referring to the Mesopotamian bias that got ADA buried when AV ruined him while Quinn was the coach.
