Yea so I guess him getting banged up all the time this season means nothing. Did you actually watch him often or nah? Think i'll go with the guy who watches 40 games thanks.

If I were to guess Lettieri's going to get another shot--possibility though that the Rangers will look at Meskanen or go back to Lias. I don't think the Rangers mind Strome in the middle though and that might work against Lias.

I talked to some guy who knows David Quinn from high school prep hockey in Boston, and he didn't mention anything about Howden being injury prone.

He missed one game before spraining his knee on hit last night. One game.
I've probably seen over 100 of his WHL games over a half-decade period of time. I've seen him play internationally and in the playoffs and in tournaments and other settings.
This is literally the first time it's ever come up, anywhere, in any conversation I've had.
I've never heard anyone really share that belief, other than the one season ticket holder you mentioned. I don't really know what to tell you.
Underwhelming.... and his play in the AHL of late is meh. That's not "bad" but it's nothing to get excited about. He sill has a ways to go developing to the AHL level, maybe a matter of getting used to things at the AHL/NHL level. But he could be similar to like Gurianov or someone who needed/needs more years to develop at a lower level. Where as I think Howden has looked effective at the NHL level, not something I saw from Andersson and not something he's showing in the consistently. I think "underwhelming" is a fair description.

howden has not looked effective in 3 months.....people on here crucify anderson and buch when howden has been invisible since the 10th game of the season..
Yes, Howden has dropped off a great deal. But he looked very effective in the beginning and its obvious what he's capable of. I thought he needed rest for that time and he was not catching anyone off-guard anymore.
No one is crucifying Andersson, you are needlessly defending him. He hasn't shown near as much at the NHL level in limited opportunity and he isn't playing SO well in the AHL where I would put him ahead of Howden at this moment. That could easily change. But so far I have preferred what I have seen from Howden, even if he has declined in the past few months. I still think either oneor both of Howden or Andersson will eventually be regular top 6 players with the Rangers. At the moment if I had to choose though, or let's say bet, I would bet on Howden.
Buch has looked meh since he arrived. Not a fan of his at all regardless of his offensive potential. He's too one dimensional and seems to give inconsistent effort and focus. I honestly pray the Rangers trade him in the near future.
I read about it and mention knee sprain - he was lucky then, because it could take months to heal properly.
Yes true, he should be sent down earlier to AHL for sure when he hit the rookie wall.

Yes. I somehow have a good eye for knee injuries. Usually call ACLs during NFL games. A worthless but entertaining skill.

Shut the kid down for the rest of the year. 2nd injury in his rookie year. Let him come back healthy and strong for next season.

scoring a point per game in the remaining AHL games this season would be really good for him as well as Chytil and Andersson.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
Today is Sunday, welcome back Howdy Doodie!
FYI, the tank is on and is very heavy, so we will sink being that we aren't on any kind of solid foundation.
But.......on the positive side, yohr "wall" has been torn down.
Its a new season for you, to get back on your feet. Play hard, play fearless.......show the Rangers brass, that YOU are a big part of their future!
