I like Chmelar. It just seems like a trend. When was the last time the Rangers had a playerwith size that was actually good at fighting and entertaining, Colton Orr, Jason Strudwick era.

Chmelar came up through the Finnish youth system where, like most of the European leagues, you can't fight. Then he went to Providence for two years and in the NCAA, you can't fight. This is the first year he has played in a league that permits fighting. So yeah, it's not something he's going to be good at and it's also probably not something he should waste his time practicing, since he has plenty of other tools that can propel him to an NHL career.

Btw Tanner Glass played in college and was a tough guy, same with George Parros and Brian Boyle fought and he played in college. Well It would be nice to have a power forward that can do both. I mean those guys still exist. Imagine if the Rangers had another Graves, Iginla, Tkachuk, Jamie Benn those players are still valuable to their team. Btw Jamie Benn was a former 5th round pick. Rangers need to get that level of scouting. Tired of big soft players like K’Andre Miller, Mika, and Kreider nowadays. One reason I hope for a shocking Tkachuk trade. Those players do make a difference more than players like Mika in the playoffs.
