Woah

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

"No longer with the club?"

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

So that's why I saw him wondering aimlessly along the side of 95...

 

[Machinehead]

This went as well as everyone who was "overreacting" said it would.

 

[lucky13]

I mean... idk... just.

 

[will1066]

Can he actually "no longer with club"? The team has the power to excise his contract but not vice versa. The team can respect and fulfill his wish, but until then he is under contract. No?

 

[Levitate]

Well

Mixed feelings, don't feel like they gave him a great chance in the NHL but at the same time I did want to see more from him

Guess it ends up as a bad pick, which is frustrating. Thank god for Chytil saving that draft

 

[JimmyG89]

This is about as awful as it can get for the Rangers. Value is at an all time low.

Hope they just treat this like the islanders did with Ho-Sang. Just let him stay home for a while and try and work it out. Even if it is loaning him out to a Swedish team for the season and making a move at the draft

 

[Hire Sather]

Where did he go?

 

[Hire Sather]

Young player who has proven nothing.

I don't care what line he was put opn. He was with the pro team and given NHL minutes. He didn't show enough

 

[Irishguy42]

Where did he go?

Banished to Hell...errrr...Hartford.

 

[Bob Richards]

Rangers are pretty diarrhea at top ten picks aren’t they

 

[NYRFAN218]

Brett Howden's still in the NHL.

We can debate Lias' play at a lot of points and he certainly needed to be better. But not once was he given a legitimate chance. Brendan Smith made it off line 4 this season and he couldn't. Brendan Smith!

 

[Harbour Dog]

He has thrown his silver medal into the crowd.

 

[mrhockey193195]

I think there is a lot of shared blame here, amongst player & club, but I can't help but think "there we go again, we ruin yet another top-ten pick". It's bad enough already that we've had so few shots at the top picks over the last 30+ years.

Don't say that man lol. There's still Kravtsov and Kakko to go.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

what the f***

 

[Mr Clutch]

He has 9 points in 66 games....

 

[Harbour Dog]

We should have given him more of an opportunity to prove what he could do, instead of slotting Howden ahead of him for no good reason.

Also though, I think we should of been considering a trade or move to wing anyway; perhaps we get more value this way then if Gorton had to go looking of his own accord.

 

[BBKers]

Gordie has to be on the hot seat now

 

[will1066]

He has thrown his silver medal into the crowd.

Previously viewed as a warrior move but now probably looked at as a spoiled kid, right?

 

[mrhockey193195]

Don't say that man lol. There's still Kravtsov and Kakko to go.

I know it's completely irrelevant to the club & management today, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from Malhotra, Brendl, Lundmark, & Montoya.

 

[UnSandvich]

Thanks Quinn. You f***.

 

[Mikos87]

I posted the other day that Lias should be trade bait if the motor isn't what it was purported to be.

But this is like selling a car with a dead transmission. You're going to get nothing in return.

Hell I would take Josh Ho-Sang for him straight up. The Rangers get jack in this scenario.
