[rangerfan_79]

Think he can play center?

I would try him in goal first.

I would try him in goal first.

If he works out, we could trade Georgiev and a conditional 7th for Auston Matthews.

Finished with 6 SOG.

hot damn

 

[Cag29]

We need to keep him. I got a really good feeling about him. Last time I had this Same feeling was Lundqvist and before that Kovalev.

And of course Leetch. But everyone knew as soon as you saw him skate first shift. He was amazing.

Here's his assist:



Lundkvist got some good reviews on his play too:

Damn good acoustics. Heard that slapper hit the pads like a sonic boom.

 

[Kovalev27]

Sounds like he dominated that game

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Sounds like he dominated that game

He was. It wasn't necessarily his best game but he was among the better ones. I expect him to continue this all season and get a call up soon

Call up?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Call up?

Yes, for the national team

 

[UnSandvich]

Is it just me or does it seem like Lundkvist is really good at keeping the puck from sailing high on his one-timers? idk, maybe it's just the replays we're seeing instead of the ones we're not, but that kind of hard, low shot is excellent at creating juicy rebounds, which NHL scorers are going to be able to thrive on

Cool. Thought I'd missed him somehow playing for an Allsvenskan team or something.

Lundkvist has a very good location control of he puck either off his slapper, half shot or wrister , period.

He's a stud prospect. Said it many times. It is a disgrace he isn't ranked in the top 10 prospect wise by every scouting service. Makes DeAngelo totally expendable.

like I said I feel he will be a better player than Miller although I feel Miller will be very good but I get a feeling he will leave you wanting more and that ain't a bad thing. i feel Lundkvist will be the better player and more complete in my opinion.

as far as DeAngelo it won't be hard to make him expendable if he does something stupid like in the past when he was younger. I rsther keep him but if they can sell high they could do it. thus could be his career year for him. with his baggage be careful of resigning him longterm although I'd take the chance depending on term and contract

 

[True Blue]

Makes DeAngelo totally expendable.

A prospect who has never touched a toe onto NA ice makes a 60 point, 24 year old RD expendable. Amazing

 

[Kovalev27]

The brooks article was silly in terms of the Rangers not signing Lundkvist. He’s coming over ask @Amazing Kreiderman he’ll tell you it’s a certainty.

But there’s no reason to move DeAngelo right now. Honestly there isn’t a reason to move him until It’s time to pay Fox if anything.

it’s always made sense to sign him to a bridge deal here and get the most out of him. Have to continue to give him reps on the left side as well.

we need to stop with this false argument. Trouba & Fox make him expendable because you can compare the value of ADA on 3D vs filling a bigger need. Nils Lundkvist has the potential to back-fill the position to minimize the downgrade to RD to improve another area but he is NOT why he is expendable.

But is it a false argument? There's a ton to like about Lundkvist. But as far as being an NHLer, he's a complete unknown, at this point.

 

[Crease]

TB is right. The reason to move DeAngelo is because Trouba and Fox are playing 45 minutes a game at his position and the Rangers have holes elsewhere. Having Lundkvist in the pipeline is simply a cherry on top.

I love Lundkvist as a prospect and there are tons to like. but we wouldn't be having the conversation if ADA wasn't behind Trouba and Fox.

What is false about it? The fact that Nils hasn't played in NA or that ADA was on pace for over 60 points as a 24 year old?

 

[True Blue]

What makes him "behind" Fox? He actually played more time per game than Fox did.

There may be reasons to trade DeAngelo, but Lundkvist is not one of them. And none of those reasons are manifesting themselves right now.
