Kitchener Rangers 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[Krangers08]

Valentini and Hextal are probably 2 of the most expensive transfer fees in the USHL.

Xu's signing does make me wonder what the defence would look like.

Right now (with Chromiak) it has pretty much been:

Ando-Chromiak
Reid-Campbell
Dirracolo-Bilecki

I'm not sure who I would be taken out cause I have liked how Bilecki has looked on the back end.

How I’d deal with the D for the rest of this year and going into next year:

MacNiel and Schneider look to be odd men out right now. But their trade value this year is low. I think we have to get them into the lineup more. Let’s get a good read on them while raising their value so in the off season, we can make decisions on them. As a 4th rounder, MacNiel will have more value today. Maybe if we can get value for him, hope Schneider can develop into a good bottom pairing D down the road, we’ll have a good age mix on the backend going forward.

Going into next year:
Dirracolo. Campbell.
Reid. One of MacNiel or Schneider.
Bilecki. Xu.
09.

Try to get Bray here and we’re in even better shape.

09’s

We have three picks in the first 45 or so give or take. Four picks in the first 65 or so. Use one of the first two on a D and that D gets penciled in.

I'll chip in $10

If I can get a charitable receipt, I am good for $20.
Merry Christmas all! And here is to a Happy New Year for all, regardless of whether that involves selling or holding.
