Kitchener Rangers 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 2)

[frontsfan67]

Sale is our only signed import. He can play AHL though this year. Most Ranger fans (me included) don’t think he is ready for that jump yet and will eventually be returned to the Rangers. Very high chance he is traded when he comes back.

I think after St Louis camp Kos will sign. Not ready for AHL and St Louis will probably want him playing in North America.

Thanks

Yes. And maybe there is still a chance to upgrade the overall quality of this 2024 group by way of a trade with a willing participant at the deadline (!?)

Absolutely no inside info, but it might be worth keeping an eye on the defected player trade window. You never know. (Valentini. Cali. Malhotra.)

Those three will have their rights moved somewhere.

When is that window?

What would the conditions be?

Does anyone think Cover can make the opening night roster?

Caught an interview by Mike Farwell with someone from the rangers but I didn't catch who. In the interview he talked about how this would be the last season with CCM as the jersey supplier and that starting next season there would be a new manufacturer. Was this announced before or is this something new that has come out?

Kaden Schneider if officially listed on the preseason roster.

Kaden Schneider if officially listed on the preseason roster.

....with his updated height and weight.

Gotta chuckle how Swick seems to be listed at 6'-7" 210lb each training camp, then suddenly shrinks an inch and a couple of pounds going into the season .

Actually Lam has suddenly shrunk from his training camp measurements too. I'm sure someone out there has an explanation (?).

The numbers are definitely wrong but they're back now.

Interesting to note that Tristan Malboeuf is not listed with the goalies (only Parsons, Edwards and Schaubel)

Schneider will wear #21. That’s a rarely used number in Kitchener. Without looking it up, I believe Ben Shutron wore it last?

Bortuzzo wore 21.
Quite sure Shutron wore a different number....7??

Shutron 7?

 

[Ward Cornell]

Shutron 7?

Yes..edited it to add. Quite sure it was 7

 

[EvenSteven]

Yes..edited it to add. Quite sure it was 7

I should have looked it up!!
Bortuzzo wore 21. Maybe thought it was Shutron because they were D partners. Or do I have that wrong too? lol!!

Just noticed that Gabriel Runco is dressed for the Bulldogs in the game currently being played.

Defenceman (2005) we received as part the Vandenberg trade.

Nick McHugh ?

 

[Gondrex]

Yeah, definitely a fair question. He only played four X-games last season for the Rangers, so not likely a name to remember.
