Confirmed with Link: Rangers sign F Chris Bourque

Hartford is looking scary.

Building up Hartford might be a convenient way to entice Skjei to turn pro this year.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I definitely don't disagree. To play devil's advocate though, I think Glen's hands were pretty much tied.

We let go of a lot of depth to make sure we could sign players (our RFAs) that are simply more important to the success of this franchise than players like Boyle, Pouliot, and yes, even Stralman.

We can take this conversation to the 7/1 thread if you'd like.

Tanner Glass or Brain Boyle? That particular choice was awful, period.

Again, for Brian it wasn't about the money, it was about a 3rd line spot. We have seen him higher then 4th line, we really don't want that again do we??

As BRF said, all indications point to prospects stepping in and earning their spots.

and if they don't whats the point of having prospects?

I mean, i love guys like Boyle and Poo, but if we cant replace them from within, this team was boned anyway.

oh nice for him to get to play with Ryan.

 

[Jxmarts]

Chris will almost certainly lead the Wolfpack in scoring next season... not quite Don Biggs of 20+ years ago, but a very productive minor league player.

I think Ryan has a real shot at that fourth line LW position.

Thank God Sather is signing solid veterans and guys who can help carry the load in Hartford

Was stuck w powe and asham last yr. there's a vet max right?

I now love the idea that we are boosting our Wolf Pack squad. They need a little help from more experienced players. Helps our youth, helps their development and gives us a more solid depth for our first team. Yes, I do enjoy calling it our first team.

I really like that they brought in Ryan's older brother. A guy who is experienced and might boost the performance of his bro. WHO KNOWS!? Maybe they kick *** as a duo!

Ill probably watch a few more Wolf Pack games this year because of their recent signings.
