I think they’re probably thinking McKegg deserves to play right now but If they move someone up and a 4th line spot opens up it’s gotta be Gettinger. He’s been tremendous the last few weeks.
What is the latest with Rykov and Hajek? It's a bit unsettling if the organization doesn't view them as a better option than Smith.
I think he’s got it, I think it’s just the last part of his game that gets up to speed when he gets into new environments.You watch HAJek score that goal yesterday where he takes off from his end give and go looks like Chytil coming down the wing rips it far side by the goalie and you wonder how the hell this kid has never scored an AHL goal? Where is the offense? He makes it look effortless on that rush. I remember his WJC he was dynamic I just don’t know where it went.
yeah, hindsight is 20/20, but, especially with the new HWP staff,I think he’s got it, I think it’s just the last part of his game that gets up to speed when he gets into new environments.
Early on I thought he was the second best defenseman behind Fox, but his play started to wane while most of the rest of the defensemen started to get their own games together. I don’t think his time as a pro has necessarily been ideal, but I also think adversity is a good thing to learn how to deal with earlyyeah, hindsight is 20/20, but, especially with the new HWP staff,
it night have been better for Hajek to have started the season w HWP,
(or at least joined them on Oct 29 when Lindgren came up)
he was inconsistent and often seemed uncertain in many NYR games, it is good he is finding his game for this playoff run w Pack
Rykov just seems to be missing his first step. I think it is because of the injury. I almost don’t want to evaluate him anymore until after a healthy summer working out. See what he looks like next fall.
Hajek and Kravtsov are just two guys that will be better at the nhl level than at the A.
I’m watching Hartford’s games right now from the weekend.
I’m really impressed with how far Kravtsov’s skating has come in a few months. He’s moving his feet every shift and just looks a lot smoother. He’s been good in every game.
the powerplay is killing them and it’s mainly because it runs thru lettieri. They’re one of the worst in the league.
they have Kravtsov on the left wall and high. Total opposite of where he should be. Lettieri and he should switch spots. This is the garbage the Rangers were doing a few months ago. Dumb as hell.
Could be worse - we could be playing our defensemen in the slot!
So, if Boo gets 4 more NHL games he stays RFA this year, if he doesn't get them he goes UFA.... does he get them? do we care?
we definitely don't care...and the rangers don't care either. if they feel he's the right guy to call up they will, but they aren't an organization that will call him up just to screw him and make him a rfa.

Is it strategic, no.So, if Boo gets 4 more NHL games he stays RFA this year, if he doesn't get them he goes UFA.... does he get them? do we care?

But Vinni, Fogarty, O'Regan will UFA, PdG may keep his depth F role w NYR,
Boo could provide vet continuity for Pack, who will have another batch of new guys joining the young group of prospects.
