GDT: Training Camp 2021: Everyone Else Too Lazy to Make a Thread

[Kovalev27]

Wait... Lemmy is from Denver!?

his father is Claude Lemieux played for the Avs

 

[Levitate]

21 year old second year player looks behind at times in the nhl? That’s not a news story brother.

I mean then it begs the question of why is he still in the NHL? If he doesn't have the strength, can't keep up with the pace and is behind the play, then what the hell are they doing with him?

This has always been the problem with Howden...the Rangers have ignored every poor on ice result and stuck with him in the NHL because "he practices well" or "does the small things right" despite the on ice product being crap. I've never wanted him to fail but the entire issue comes back around to the Rangers forcing him into the NHL and keeping him there when he desperately needed development time somewhere else like the AHL.

Beyond that I haven't seen a ton of progress made in getting better last season. That's a concern. It doesn't matter how young he is you want to see improvement from year to year, not stagnation. If he isn't showing marked improvement this year then it's a huge red flag.

Re: Chytil yeah there are some of the same concerns there in that you want to keep seeing more progress, but he has taken steps forward even if they're not as large as we'd hoped.

zero argument from me that he should have gone to the A just like chytil had done

Kloucek was never really the same after his knee was destroyed, he never stood out in Nashville either as I recall. Dunham was pretty lights out at first and the Rangers desperately needed a goalie. Sather rode Dunham into the ground the next season though instead of getting a reliable backup and for a guy with an injury history that Dunham had it was probably predictable that playing him to death was going to result in another injury, and once again Dunham never really recovered after that

Plus wasn't that the year they lost Blackburn to the nerve injury? So it kinda left Dunham without a backup. I was never, ever a Dunham fan and hated that trade. Back then we seemed to make bad trades on a daily basis.

 

[Rongomania]

Wait... Lemmy is from Denver!?

Yeah I believe that's where Claude and fam settled.

 

[Kords]

his father is Claude Lemieux played for the Avs

Yeah I get all that, could of sworn I heard them say he grew up near Montreal. I guess that could still be true, just surprised to see him listed as American.

 

[Leetch3]

So one guy i expected to be placed on waivers today. Darren Raddysh. I don’t believe he’s exempt. So he’s staying with the main roster for now?

His bust of a brother is on waivers though. I know we ALL wanted his brother Taylor at that deadline over Howden.

no excuse taylor is waiver exempt just going down

he's waiver exempt for 1 more year.

 

[ArPanet]

Wonder if Robertson will get in before they send him to the W.

 

[Leetch3]

Wait... Lemmy is from Denver!?

he was born while his dad was playing for the Avs

 

[RangersFan1994]

his father is Claude Lemieux played for the Avs

so would Brendan play for USA or Canada??

 

[Raspewtin]

so would Brendan play for USA or Canada??

he played for Canada at the Hlinka tournament in 2013 so I'd assume Canada.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers always love bloodlines

Evgeny Svechnikov

he is waived from the Red Wings. could be a good depth option.

The Rangers never do well in those deals.

[Priorae]

Brenden would play for USA. He and his sister (who is uh, attractive) are as american as you or I. His mom is from North Carolina or something.

 

[Kovalev27]

So just to be clear....this team is way better than ours? Lock for playoffs but we’re not? Their coach might be the only reason they’re better than we are.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

You’d never know we drafted the first overall pick with how horrible our camp programming has been.

Has MSG announced any season preview shows? I know they are doing the town hall thing, but man talk about dropping the ball.

First time in existence they get a true first overall pick and they don't even have a special to get fans hyped up? They had like 5 of them when Gomez and Drury were signed.

 

[Fitzy]

Svech is getting waived by a historically bad team for a reason.

He’s khl bound. Not good enough

 

[NYR Viper]

Their more of a known commodity. Their guys are in specific roles

 

[Kovalev27]

Man Derek Ryan and his righty shot are on waivers. Center/winger heck of a 2019-20 season that’s a guy I’d absolutely put a claim on for the 12/13th forward spot

 

[Kovalev27]

I mean they’re old if that’s what your saying. That’s about the only thing that makes that roster player for player better than ours

 

[Savant]

I mean (if I am thinking of the right guy) Derek Ryan is a rich person’s Kevin Rooney.

 

[Kovalev27]

I mean (if I am thinking of the right guy) Derek Ryan is a rich person’s Kevin Rooney.

he’s a much better player but yes he’d be an upgrade for sure

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

They're stuck in the stone ages. They should be leading the pack with the resources they have.

There's no reason not to have a plethora of Ranger content.

You’d never know we drafted the first overall pick with how horrible our camp programming has been.

It annoys me, but I can't say I am surprised. They created a 7-minute draft day video and they are gloating like they invented the f***ing wheel. Other teams have been doing this for years, and with actual 10-minute episodes (Check out the Hurricanes' "Inside the Storm" series from 2018).

The Rangers organization is lazy and they get away with it because their product sells itself. They are based in New York City. They have been selling tickets and merchandise for decades simply because of tourism.

They sell jerseys for $280 with absolutely horrendous customization and fans are defending that crap because "It comes from the MSG Shop so it must be good". Fans are in denial.

Love the team, but the organization as a whole is horrible

 

[Kovalev27]

I’ll say it where I’m concerned this season more than anything?
