So who's getting scratched?

Hopefully this is like Callahan coming up in 2007.

If Cuylle can play his heavy game on the 4th line and keep it simple, I think there is a chance he can remain there all year. But we'll see, it could just be giving him a couple games before the break as a reward for his solid play in the AHL.

Also very cool that he gets to make his NHL debut in his hometown tomorrow night.

 

[Hire Sather]

Debut in his hometown on Wednesday?

 

[NYR94]

Good for him. Hope he's better than Blais.

If you're reading this Gallant, thank you for making the moves we clamor for.

I know he's been solid in Hartford but I would rather keep him there being a very solid contributor. I hope this decision proves me wrong. We just can't keep rushing these guys up here.

It's fine. Cullye gets his cup of coffee, the powers that be get to see how he looks in the bigs, and Blais returns in 2 weeks.

Gallant sends a biweekly minutes to Drury on what he saw here. Drury is too busy to read here.

Dammit, just waive him.

Got chills reading this, no lie. Lechwhatever - Cuylle - Gauthier is great.

Nothing wrong with him getting a quick callup for a few games. He's earned it based on like you said, his solid play in HFD.

In 11th grade, I failed to comprehend the philosophical proposition that if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, did it really happen? Now in adulthood, I still don't get it but I'm glad to see will cuylle get a shot to become a bottom six jam guy.

 

[RangerLifer]

Dammit, just waive him.

No. He needs time in Hartford. Hopefully, he'll recover from that injury.

 

[TominNC]

Good for him. Hope he's better than Blais.

It would be very difficult for him not to clear that bar.

If Cuylle plays against Toronto one of Kravtsov or Leschyshyn is going to sit and quite likely Vitali because someone has to play center on the 4th line.

I'm fine with that I guess. At this point it's about development with the remaining guys like Othmann, Cuylle and Berard. We've been there and done that rushing forwards up. But like you said if he's here just short term and to see how he looks fine but longer term I think it's better for him to develop in Hartford not up here getting 7 min a night on the 4th line.

It's likely Kravtsov. Don't see someone like GG liking a 4th liner who barely makes any physical contact.

 

[will1066]

Brownie points for anyone who is able to list all of the iterations of the 4th line we've had so far this season...

On a serious note, hope he wears #50 so I can stop associating the number with a certain first-round "character" pick.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yea it would seems Krav will be the scratch since Cuylle plays LW.

 

[SA16]

Is there a better way to totally ruin his development than to call him up to play 6-8 minutes on the 4th line with no special teams role? How about leaving him in his big role in the AHL where he can try to score?

 

[McRanger92]

Yea it would seems Krav will be the scratch since Cuylle plays LW.

The Rangers just told us exactly how they feel about Kravtsov. Bumping him from the lineup for a kid who has never played an NHL game. If Cuylle throws 1 hit tomorrow he'll be as impactful as VK was last night

Does Blais have to pass waivers?

No, it's a conditioning stint.
