I'm really wondering if they like Reuanen/Hajek/Miller/Robertson for one of those spots at a minimum. They still have Smith. I'd like it if they signed at least 1 more veteran LD but it's also possible Gorton has had a few conversations with other teams and a guy like Brayden McNabb




get it done.. love this if he comes to NYR.
 
Samsonov is a good young goalie. If they run them 60/40, Hank is a good mentor and still capable. Plus, I think all the time off and getting bought out is a bit of a kick in the ass and we may see a slight “something to prove” improvement from him. Nothing close to vintage, but a solid platoon guy with Samsonov. Washington still has a good team. It’s a one year deal, one more kick at the can.

I don't think Hank is going there to be a "mentor", he's going there with the hopes of playing.

Even before Hank was tied to Washington, I had my doubts about them next season. New coach, older roster, condensed schedule. Lots of miles on that crew. A number of the teams surrounding them are on the rise with younger talent. We'll see.
 
Grabner would be a good pickup. He's an intimidating penalty killing forward.

The Rangers I expect will be looking for an LD.

I don't think guys like Wennberg, Hinostroza or Wallmark make us a harder team to play against. I would not sign any of them. I'd rather see what our own guys like Barron can do than fill out our roster with veteran plugs.

To me I'd keep it simple--an LD and one forward---either Grabner or someone like Clifford. We're going to need more muscle. Nieto might be another guy I'd be interested in.

You guys REALLY took this to heart didn't you.
