Agreed. THIS team needs a current-level Carcillo and Dorsett more than then need both Moore and Boyle. One of the latter two should be the odd man out. 2 4th line centers on a team is redundant.

Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Boyle is a better PK'er, and inserting Dorsett into the lineup makes it more likely the team is shorthanded.
I don't think Dorsett is a particularly smart player. I dont think Carcillo is either. 1 of them in the lineup is enough for me.
I also disagree that Boyle is gone at the deadline. He's slotted on the 4th line where he belongs, for once.
Everyone takes dumb penalties. And yes, what (again and I stress this) a current level Carcillo brings and what Dorsett brings to THIS team is much more needed than what 2 4th line centers bring. Dorsett also kill penalties. And frankly, how much more of offensive production are you getting out of Moore and Boyle?
Put either Moore or Boyle in the middle of Dorsett and Carcillo and you have a pretty good 4th line that can bring the fight to the other team, draw penalties and frankly provide a different look than the otherwise homogenous other 3 lines.

So you are okay giving him a raise and keeping him around past this season? If not, why let him leave for nothing?

Has Carcillo taken a dumb penalty with the Rangers yet?
Also Dorsett doesn't take that many dumb penalties. He had a few games where he was in the box quite a bit but besides that, he has been pretty good.
I guess we should discount a career of being an idiot vs. his 5 games as a Ranger.
Sorry, Im not going to buy into platitudes like "everyone takes dumb penalties" or "Dorsett kills penaties too" when the reality of the situation is that Dorsett takes more dumb penalties then most players and doesn't kill penalties as well as Boyle.

No, just saying the last time most of us saw him play a lot was many years ago in Philly. By all accounts he was able to walk the line well in LA and Chicago. Players change.

Whe was the last time Dorsett took a really stupid minor penalty? That Boston game at MSG?
You're really blowing Dorsett's penalty problems out of proportion.
I'd be more worried about Carcillo doing something stupid.

He also draws more penalties than either Moore or Boyle. Players that play with an edge and play physical tend to have more penalty minutes. That life. Having a charmin-soft team that is nice to everyone is not the answer either.
You cannot have it both ways. Want the Rangers to play with more of an edge? Then there will be more penalties. And, truthfully, some penalties are worth it.
The reality of the situation is that on THIS team, Carcillo and Dorsett are needed more than 2 redundant 4th line centers. One is just fine.

I'm genuinely more concerned about Kreider Stepan and Callahan taking untimely penalties than Carcillo. Dorsett is also rather unfortunate in the penalty department, even if he did improve.

Based and Rangerspilled.
Dominic Moore and Brian Boyle have a close faceoff win total percentage, but Brian Boyle has taken 115 short-handed while Moore has only taken 42.
Boyle is the better PK guy, and AV would probably agree. Like it or not if one of them sit for Dorsett it is probably Moore.
Trade Moore instead.

I worry about the Rangers decision making sometimes, but I have little doubt that if/when everyone gets healthy Carcillo will be the scratch.
There is no reason for it. Teams in the NHL do not skate around with 2 4th line centers. Carcillo has been effective and noticeable.
I agree, and this is from someone who hates Carcillo and truly wishes we never picked him up (get over it, blah blah blah - yeah I know. You get over it on your terms, I'll get over it on mine).
That said, this team needs MORE guys who are difficult to play against, and Carcillo and Dorsett both fit that bill. Of course, it would be nice to have more guys like Callahan who have skill AND are difficult to play against, but our Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler is not good at finding enough of those guys.
and the Rangers been more grittier when Carcillo was in the lineup. no reason to take him out... one of Boyle Moore will be traded.. hopefully Rangers will trade the one that gets the most value in a trade. Rangers need more of that hatred to play against not less...

That is my point. Like it or not, Carcillo and Dorset duo fit the bill of what this team needs.
Utterly debatable. However what is not debatable is that Carcillo has been effective. And what he brings to the table warrants a spot in the line up.
