Confirmed with Link: Rangers claim F Jake Leschyshyn

[Raspewtin]

it's been a month and i'm still waiting to see what this waste of skates provides at the NHL level

end this f***ing experiment already

Would anybody be shocked if he stays in the lineup over Gauthier?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Totally get that Kravtsov isn't trust worthy and sucks but what the f*** has Leshitshow done to stay in the lineup?

If you want to attempt to mold him into a cheap 4th line option, he should be doing that in the AHL. If he gets claimed again no biggie but something tells me we wont have to worry about that.

I think "Krav sucks" is a popular opinion but I don't get it. He was playing well (away from line 4) before GG decided he wanted the lineups to change because reasons.

He wasn't really playing well. He made Trocheck and Panarin worse and was basically just existing 99% of the time out there.

I would take just existing over what ever the f*** leshitshow is doing. He is going to cost us points.

No because one is a center and the other is a winger.

If Cuylle is brought back up after Hajek is sent down/claimed, there's a good chance that Leschyshyn will sit and Goodrow will center Cuylle and Gauthier. And I think there's a good chance that Drury will make another move to add to the bottom 6.

 

[tomobson]

There's really no reason for him to play in another game this season for the Rangers. We have three better centers than him on the Wolfpack.

 

[BBKers]

He will be upgraded come March. For sure. But, if he then clears waivers, I think he gets another chance next season at camp. Other than being very cheap - I do not see much. But Brass seems to see something

He'll surely be replaced by a Lafferty/Motte/Bjugstad type. I think the same for Harpur. Theyll both be in Hartford for the stretch run.

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

I'm sad.

I read this thread backwards.

I saw "claim Jake Leschyshyn" and thought someone was taking him off our hands.

Then I read Rangers at the beginning, and remembered it was the old thread.

Dammit.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I didn't mind the pickup because at worst he would be a good addition for HFD. His brief stint here was extremely lackluster, and he has a lot to work on in his game. They have in-house options if they need 13F depth, and I don't think it's worth spending a lot for another depth F at the deadline. Goodrow is in his perfect spot at 4C right now, and the lineup has really good balance.

 

[cwede]

i am one of the least critical-of-players posters here, but he ain't shown much
(did 4th line ever possess the puck on wednesday?)

NYR oughta re-waive him,
and bring up Rydahl right away,
he's next man up, has had adequate NA orientation in AHL

if Jake clears, maybe he helps Pack playoff push

 

[n8]

definitely send him down. Maybe he's one of those players who can put it together when they turn 25 but he clearly does not have IT right now. Let him marinate in the AHL where he can put up numbers and get minutes.

 

[Raspewtin]

hey so what happened to "he'll go to Hartford if he sucks"? just asking since some of you were so confident in it.

Wait till 2 pm todays waivers lol

 

[Gardner McKay]

There are guys in retirement that can provide more than this guy. Please get him to the AHL ASAP and away from an NHL rink.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Him getting so many games is why I will never fully trust this mgmt group

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

Woof.

Also worth noting if he sucks so much the 4th line can't take a regular shift when the team is gassed on back to backs, him in the lineup is definitely subtraction by addition. Gauthier played 4:33 last night, and Leschyshyn played 5:48 the difference in which I'd largely and speculatively attribute to not doing us all a favor and changing when he had a chance, then getting pinned in his own end of the ice.

His regularness in the lineup has also generally coincided with a lack of noticableness to Goodrow or Gauthier on the ice. Needless to say, that's not a coincidence.

 

[duhmetreE]

for every 3-4 good moves.... there's a Nemeth and Lechyshysyshn throw in.

I guess we can live with that batting %

What did they see to make them claim him in the first place?

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

What did they see to make them claim him in the first place?

2nd round pick and son of a former NHL player?

Passive aggressive shot at the Rangers' equipment manager to make him sew that many letters onto a jersey??

I really don't know.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

What did they see to make them claim him in the first place?

Exactly . Scary to think about.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

I'd rather see one of us playing over this scrub.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

We should waive him and if no one claims him, send him to Arizona with a 7th.

I don't want him close to our young players.
