Confirmed with Link: NYR signed Vinni Lettieri

[The Crypto Guy]

Shouldve made the team out of camp. Should be up over Nieves at the least.

Agreed

Agreed but I understand why they picked Nieves who has shown last season he doesn't look out of place. Lettieri will get his shot

 

[E-Train]

He's doing what he needs to for a call up.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Call him up. Our team isn't so good that we don't have spots available.

 

[kovazub94]

Is he a center? Does he have speed? Maybe there were different considerations for Nieves promotion. Just hoping the Rangers find someone who gets DD out of the lineup.

 

[nyr2k2]

Curious to see what he can do. He was supposedly a depth guy according to most reports when he signed. The same however was said about Kerfoot and Butcher who both appear to be more than depth, LOL.

 

[Machinehead]

Forget Nieves. This guy is better than Vesey.

 

[nyr2k2]

I mean look at this guy, though. He looks like he's already killed your entire family.

Does anyone remember the movie The Client? There was one Mafioso, Barry the Blade, and this kid must be related to him. I'm Italian and in my extended family I have some frightening looking folks, but Lettieri is up there.

As long as he's not being looked at by the FBI's behavioral Science unit, I think that's a good thing.

 

[EEDAWGZ]

He looks like Krieder’s evil twin brother

Looks like if you see him in the tunnel after the game, you know your time is up.

Whats more frightening than his looks is that shirt/tie combo.

look at his entire outfit.. He's clearly a psychopath lol

 

[E-Train]

Saw his dad play soccer at Nassau Coliseum in the 80s.

They say... by the time you do see him... it’s too late.

 

[NewLife]

Came for Intel of how he is doing ended up with a just a laugh oh well 13 in 17 I see. Me like.

 

[Ola]

NYR2K2 and E-train- WTF, this is too good to be true — are those pictures real?

He is my favorite Ranger already. What a character.

 

[Larrybiv]

This had me rolling. Too funny.
Shocked he didn't make the team out of camp, hopefully it's just a matter of rounding out his game......he and Jesper seem like two peas in a pod......maybe with Grabner?
Gonna be a keeper. And already better than at least 2 Rangers holding a spot.

Yeah, the one I posted is his current Twitter profile picture. Even his Wolf Pack photo makes him look like the most Italian motherf***er alive.

His old man was a footballer back in the NASL in the 80s, apparently, and there are lots of pictures of him doing stuff with birds. So, they seeem like a fun family. Also his dad at one point looked like Andre the Giant:

He also looks like my dad in the 70s. LOL.

Anyway, back on topic, I'm glad to see him doing well. It would be great if some of that production translated to the NHL level.

In a way his season reminds me of Hagelin. Turning pro after 4 years of college, starting in the AHL despite a strong camp and a serious chance of getting called up after being one of the top players on the HFD team.

 

[Larrybiv]

@nyr2k2......does anyone else see a little Sylvester Stallone in him? I do. Get him up here asap, he will scare many with "all I gotta do is make 1 phone call" and "Do you know who you're talking to?"

He kept the stuffed parrot in the net whenever he was the goalie. Was funny to hear that name again when Vinni signed.

Hope he continues to work hard and improves.....this team needs a little "rounding out" with better contributions from the bottom 6. I loved his game in pre-season. Should be good on PK with Jesper for starters. Tough on the boards and won battles. Decent shot too, from what I saw.

 

[Miamipuck]

I hope he moonlights as a mob assassin, how freaking cool would that be? He could put hits out on the stars of other teams. The Iceman, he can get and ice cream truck and keep Sydney Crosby on ice for weeks, nobody would notice he was gone.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

So why when I said about 1-2 weeks ago that he should’ve been called up as well you said no if you agree he should’ve made it out of camp?
