Good luck to him.

I admit that I rained on him. But, fact is, he has beaten the odds and made a career for himself.

 

[RGY]

He was serviceable and was expected to do way more than what he was originally brought here to do which was be a 4th line Center/13th forward.

We were moving on anyways. Someone else will take that role. Whether its Lias or a vet free agent forward. I think Letestu is out there among a handful of others.

 

[eco's bones]

Good news. I didn't want him back. I'll give that he really bucked the odds but he's not a good NHL player anymore---was weak defensively and weak on the puck.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Good career for an undersized undrafted guy. He was a pain in the 13-14 ECF. He did ok at times last year, we were all very hard on him but it wasn't personal.

 

[kovazub94]

Fully expect that he'll be at the top page of the scoring leader board in 18-19. With larger ice and generally slower pace he's skating or size will not be a detriment and he should be in the position to be 1C (not worse that 2C) for Loco.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

I'd imagine they tried to trade him at the deadline but there was zero interest. Best of luck to him.

 

[Inferno]

Oh no what are we going to do without our first line center?!

This post actually made me sad for how 17-18 season turned out.

 

[nyr2k2]

Devastating news.

Honestly though he'll probably do really well in the KHL.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Wasn’t happy with the signing or how our center depth shook out last season, but that’s not DD51’s fault.

Best of luck to him. He should be fun to watch on the bigger ice since he still is an exceptional passer.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Good. Didnt do anything to warrant another contract here

 

[will1066]

The highlight of his time here has to be when he replaced an injured Zib and proceeded to have a three-point night his first time playing with Kreider and Buch. He was going to be a scratch in that game.

 

[ElLeetch]

Erik Christensen is available.

 

[Kaapodonna]

Erik Christensen is available.

I'd prefer Nik Antropov thanks.

 

[Thirty One]

He's still under contract. This is tampering.

I'm livid.

 

[Machinehead]

Didn't mind him

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

was a place holder.

very weak on the puck

Ive never seen anyone move their feet so fast yet move so slowly.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

He sucked so bad that no team wanted anything to do with him at the trade deadline.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

only 4 Rangers had more assist than him last year....pretty sad. including 1c Zibenajad.

Like a chihuahua .

 

[Kaapodonna]

Got nothing bad to say about DD. All of my gripes were how the coach used him. Good luck over seas!

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Ive never seen anyone move their feet so fast yet move so slowly.

Then you never saw Don Maloney at the end of his Ranger career. Looked like he was slipping on ice, rather than skating on it.

 

[Siddi]

Good.

 

[Klaus3154]

Not surprised, we would have traded him for a 7th rounder in 2022 at the deadline. Teams had zero interest in him.
