Robots can be devastated.

You ever see that movie with Will Smith?

Feel for the guy. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Welp...there goes our legit shot at tanking...

I don't think we could have gotten a 7th round pick for him anyway, so good for DiGi

DiGi is pretty nice, but I think we've standardized to PDG.

I guess that explains DQ's forced decision to take him out of the lineup.
Too Haley's credit, he wasn't that bad in the beginning of the season..

Haley is more in the category of "does absolutely nothing" than "actively burns the team down." I'll give him that.

His only real downside is that he's really good at taking penalties. Like...REALLY good.

Other than that, he's just...there.

Hey..I was calling for DiGi all season long but Haley wasn't all that bad in the beginning of the season

 

[Elliman]

Get better s̶o̶o̶n̶....this off-season just before you sign with a team out west.

Always feel bad for a player when they are out with injury. Haley seems like a great guy and great teammate. That being said, the Rangers are a better team without him playing. Hope he gets better soon and hope another NHL teams takes him on next season.

I expected a trade to San Jose for him, but they're out of it this year and he's hurt now.

Who?

 

[Peltz]

I'll never cheer for a player losing their ability to play and earn a living. But I don't really want that guy on the team so... I wish him a speedy recovery and I hope the Islanders pick him up for their playoff run at the deadline.

His last three games were all against the Islanders. In the first one he took on Ross Johnston who kind of towers over him and he took a lot of body shots. He did manage to get in a couple on Johnston but that's basically a mismatch. It may be from there that his injury happened.

Haley certainly isn't a great player by NHL standards. He's a decent AHL level player though which isn't nothing--you've got to be a pretty damned good player to play in the AHL. It's tough in a fighting role especially if you're not that big a guy. I don't hate players like that though most fans do but usually they're among the most popular players on the team. He's getting to the stage (and with this kind of injury) where he might want to think about hanging it up though. He's not exactly young and things aren't going to get easier for him.
