Why is Dallas trading Joe Pavelski?

Easy. So they can pay Nils 7/70.

Perfect time to try Krav at center but our organization would never do something so daring

 

[Avery16]

That was what Blais was supposed to be.

Don't forget Goodrow.

If I remember correctly, Fil is one of the few Rangers that plays well against the Isles..

Thank God we drafted some stud centers the past 5 years.

Buddy of mine at the game last night told me Kravtsov made contact with a BJ, and didn't explode like the dove that was hit by a Randy Johnsons fastball.
Progress.

 

[Avery16]

This may be the case but I guess my argument is that you might get more out of a youngster whos fighting for a career over a 37 year old backup who knows he'll never get a starting job again

I assume Halak is still interested in winning Cups and building on his legacy as a player. He reminds me of Irbe, who stayed active forever and was able to deliver strong performances, even when rarely called upon, late into his career.

Halak had a bad game early into the season. Lets not forget all the dogshit performances Georgiev treated us to.

The Rangers might end up in the lottery.

Sucks about Chytil was having a strong start, picking it up where he left off from the playoffs. Hopefully it's only a week. But don't like the "At least a week" comment.

Krav also had the most hits of anyone on the team not named Trouba, Blais, Goodrow & Carpenter lol

Too bad Tinordi is gone.

I can't wait to have the 4th line and 3rd pair up against MacKinnon.

Good thing we'll have last change.... Gallant wouldn't do that... right?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Figured Chytil might have a concussion once I saw the hit

Unfortunately for the Rangers, the way the team is constructed lends itself to this sort of injury being A problem

When you stack your forward talent at wing and have nothing (say it again, nothing) in terms of center depth down the organizational chart, this is what you get.

An injury that could really derail a season

Rydahl could slot in nicely

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Rydahl could slot in nicely

Nothing suggest to me Rydahl is anything more than a 4th liner

Which is fine and we need those. But this team has nothing in the way of center depth for a top 9 center. No prospects coming down the pike soon, nothing

 

[DanielBrassard]

This sucks, he's too important to this team not only because he's been playing incredibly well but because there's no one behind him who can adequately fill his spot.

 

[Raspewtin]

gonna say it but barclay goodrow is low key awful

3.6 mill and he's legit not good at anything. players do what he does for less than 1 mill. his calling card was his versatility but that just means he sucks the same at all three forward spots

oh and the coach loves him and really wants him to get more time lol

 

[Leonardo87]

Room for improvement.

The fact that he isn't a lock to hold the 3C in Chytil's place is damning. Just a worthless contract.

Who would have ever expected his contract to look so poor this early into it?

 

[bl02]

I'm glad we didn't rush Othmann and Cuylle like we've done with so many young kids but the 4th line is a problem. It's crazy that for 500 or 600k more we could have had Motte over carpenter. Yeah yeah I know carpenter is a center but so far looks like he sucks

 

[mas0764]

The Rangers might end up in the lottery.

It would be the best thing that could happen to this team most likely.

 

[bl02]

Feel bad for the kid... this happens every season it feels like.

He starts playing well... then an injury.

Some guys are just made of glass. Sucks because he has size and decent wheels. That's why we needed someone like Trocheck. As a contending team it's obvious we can't expect Chytil to a legit 2c
