As a Rangers fan, I’m not the least bit interested.Michael Hage was a standout in the weekend games I attended on a recent trip and off to a great start as a Michigan freshman.View attachment 919726
I'm always interested in watching any great players, first round picks and my interest was piqued a bit more on Hage having (some of) his backstoryAs a Rangers fan, I’m not the least bit interested.
If we get an 08 first rounder back they will likely be better than almost everyone else on that list of young prospects you have. I don't say no to that. It will get figured out.Observations from this weekend and to Echo some past post's.
All of Macneil, Bilecki and Schnieder are ready to play at this level. I was in attendance for Fri/Sun and Watched Sat on TV. My biggest surprise truthfully was how well Schneider played on Sunday. He looked calm and big/physical all while having enough foot speed to not get beat. I only say he was the biggest surprise as we haven't seen as much of him lately and i guess i expected him to be a bit behind the others. News flash- he's not.
Point is Chomiak has made Ando expendable IMO. It's not that i don't like Ando- but trading Rehkopf away was a clear indication the management doesn't see us as contenders this year and quite frankly neither do I.
Chromiak-Dirracolo
Reid-Campbell
Bilecki/Schnieder/Macneil ( rotation)
I think all of us would be happy to watch that each night.
I will say this with the utmost respect. If we hang onto Ando until after Christmas and the return is not a 2008 1st rounder it will be an absolute fail in developing these young Defensemen( Why not trade hm now? ) . And then what if it's a player returned after that? The new 2008 would be in a log jam somewhere.
Currently having -Antis/Headrick/Arquette/Cameron all not playing up Front
And 2 of Bilecki/Schnieder/Macneil not playing on the back end.
I know we have some injuries up Front. But we need these kids playing with they're all healthy.
Thoughts?
What does "it will get figured out" mean?? Having a 17 yr old Arquette sitting in the stands? How does that make sense? Who's coming out of the lineup to get our current 1st rounder ( Headrick) in when he's healthy?If we get an 08 first rounder back they will likely be better than almost everyone else on that list of young prospects you have. I don't say no to that. It will get figured out.
It might be a stretch expecting an 08 1st for Andonovski. It could happen but I’d be surprised.If we get an 08 first rounder back they will likely be better than almost everyone else on that list of young prospects you have. I don't say no to that. It will get figured out.
So bascially we should be trading Ando as soon as anyone meets our ask, is what i'm reading.It might be a stretch expecting an 08 1st for Andonovski. It could happen but I’d be surprised.
It’s been laid out on here before that of the contenders this year, Brampton and Kingston don’t have their 1sts.
London probably doesn’t trade Hawery as he was a “London or bust” player.
Apparently Brady Smith isn’t going anywhere in Oshawa as the family has moved there and a younger brother is playing his minor hockey there.
Now you’re looking at Barrie (Vaughn). 5ths overall don’t get traded often but it’s possible due to their thin draft cupboard.
Brantford (O’Donnell). This might be a possibility, but if Brantford wants to contend as well next year, depending how they feel about this player, they may decide that he’d be an important part of their team next year, and only do picks deals to improve their team. And they could do that easily because of their very deep draft cupboard.
Saginaw (Zhilkin). They reportedly want to contend again this year, so they’ll probably have to move him because their draft cupboard is completely empty. But do the Rangers want yet another tiny forward? (5’9” 160).
There will likely be multiple top end forwards that will hit the market by the deadline who’ll draw a first round pick ahead of an Andonovski. Romani is a good example.
I’m not expecting a 1st but I’d take one if the deal is there. But I’d be just as happy with the Jorian Donovan return.

Well, if the 1st is Vaughn (not holding my breath there), or O’Donnell, I’d wait.So bascially we should be trading Ando as soon as anyone meets our ask, is what i'm reading.
