You will like lemieux. Obviously not a game changer but he's one of those guys you hate if he's not on your team. Takes the occasional dumb penalty. Disliked him at the start of the year but he keeps improving

 

[Steenager]

Enjoy him. He's a sparkplug. Hate to see him go.

Loves to try the wraparound (and has scored on two this year).

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Have a feeling Quinn is going to love this guy

 

[Mandar]

Kinda like a Derek Dorsett/Dan Carcillo type....nothing wrong with that

 

[Thirty One]

Enjoy him. He's a sparkplug. Hate to see him go.

Loves to try the wraparound (and has scored on two this year).

Well we loved Sean Avery.

 

[TheTakedown]

Well we loved Sean Avery.

Was going to say, if he is as advertised, that is Sean Avery right there

 

[Gardner McKay]

Enjoy him. He's a sparkplug. Hate to see him go.

Loves to try the wraparound (and has scored on two this year).

Lemieux could try to do a wraparound 7 times a game for his entire NYR tenure and still not come close to how often Alexander Frolov did it

I'm pretty stoked to have him on the team.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Another pest is totally fine with me. ADA and Lemieux pissing off opponent stars. Yes please.

Brandon Prust?

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Fun player to watch, will fight, stick up for teammates at all times. Plays a hard nosed, straight line game, and is good in front of the net.

Scored decently well in juniors and the AHL, not sure how it will translate to the NHL.

Results this year are a mixed bag. Horrible possession numbers across the board, but decent results points wise. Unfortunately those numbers are buoyed by sky high PDO, OIS%, and personal SH%. He will be an interesting player to track, I suspect he doesn't become more than a 3rd/4th line guy, but if he does, he will be a very fun player to have because of the way he plays.

 

[trilobyte]

He doesn't have the same streak of sheer subversiveness that Avery had, but who did really.
Lemieux like Avery is a good player and it shows me that Gorton gets it in knowing a team needs a mix of personality types.

 

[Mandar]

Brandon Prust?

seems like the same type too....

 

[Lion Hound]

So another Prust/Dorsett

Claude wasn't bad himself

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Wish his dad were Mario tho

I detest Maryo.

 

[duhmetreE]

I see people saying Dorsett/Prust...

I hope he turns into a Sean Avery.. A 3rd liner who has some skill as well as the agitating/fighting/entertainment

 

[LORDE]

Wish his dad were Mario tho

hated his Dad

HATED

HATE-EDDDDDDDDD

(Claude)

 

[Fitzy]

This kid has not been used on the PK this year to any meaningful extent. That said, we've taken very many non PK players and successfully transitioned them to that role.

 

[will1066]

Having Claude join the dads trips will be awkward...

Wonder if he keeps the 48 here.

 

[LokiDog]

I think he could be a decent third liner with the right coaching. I also think he has an element to his game the Rangers have lacked for a long time. At worst, I think he’ll become well liked as a 4th liner but he’s got 15+ goal potential.

 

[ThirdEye]

He had far better numbers in the AHL than guys like Prust and Dorsett... I think closer to Avery is more like it. Avery minus the massive ego and childishness?

 

[Mandar]

His dad won more cups than Mario
