Gauthier is a donezo. Gallant didn’t use him last year, he won’t this year, and I don’t blame him. Not enough jam or defensive awareness for bottom 6 and he can’t finish on a scoring line. Cut the bait.

Vesey has earned a spot. Weird to see it but he can be an effective depth forward and can score.

Carpenter is still the 4th line C. I’d be surprised if this changed.

Rydahl looks good but he’s still an unknown. I think they still keep hunt since Gallant loves him

Kreider-Zibanejad-Blais
Panarin-Trocheck-Kravtsov
Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-carpenter -Goodrow
Reaves
Hunt

That’s prob the lineup but they do have a week till they have to waive someone

If they can deal Gauthier for a 7th D Great otherwise he’s waived soon

Carpenter and RydahI bet both play in the next game. Kinda makes sense to waive Carpenter if Vesey makes the team cause they can carry 23 and freely move Rydahl down on paper if there’s no game

The situation with none of our wingers being able to fit in alongside Kreider/Zib and Panarin/Trocheck is so reminiscent of my high major DOBO tenure YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
 
Carpenter — Slim to no chance he gets claimed

Domingue — probably not, two year contract, bottom feeders wouldn’t be interested at that price

Hunt 50/50, he may get traded

Gauthier? Who cares


ELC
And Tinordi?
 
I think the Rangers are at 48 contracts. So signing Vesey puts them at 49. Trading or losing someone to waivers would be a good thing probably.
We have 48 contracts, but only 46 count against the limit.

Othmann and Sykora both slide.

Anyone cut today?

Also was Carpenter signed for 1 or 2 years?
1 year.

 
If the plan is to give Rhydahl a month in the AHL to continue learning the small ice, I'm fine with it. He should be in the NHL in no time.

Vesey should make the team. No reason he shouldn't. He's a different player than the last one we saw in NY.

I don't see why Carpenter sticks unless it is as the 13th.

Goodrow played with Kreider and Zibanejad last year. Results were uninspiring. If the Kid Line is a thing, that is going to be a sore spot.

We all joked, but Vesey would be better than Goodrow there. So would Blais. I think Lafreniere is the best fit.
 
I swear if the Rangers big brain this in keeping Hunt and Carpenter in lieu of Vesey and Rydahl.

Vesey is making the team just for his PK ability. He's a much more complete player then his first time here. There will be times he's with Mika and Kreider, times he's with Trochek and Panarin. The Board will implode if Kravstov gets a game off or 4th lined. But it will happen.

He's going to protect leads. Injuries always happen. Etc.

Keeping Hunt is fine, he's an excellent 4th liner. I'd prefer Rydahl as well but carpenter has been a solid 4th liner as well throughout his career so it's understandable why they would keep him at least to begin the season and if he falters then go to Rydahl.
