GDT: Training Camp: Oh, Hockey’s Back

[chosen]

Kravtsov is flat out dominating

Dominating what?

 

[egelband]

The Rangers have skill, but there are quite a few kids who will have size and strength to match that skill.

Schneider, Miller, Kakko, Lafreniere, Cuylle, Chytil, Barron, Robertson, etc. are all growing boys.

That group alone is looking at an average height/weight of 6'3, 215-220 when they're fully developed.

And that's on top of hockey intelligence and respective attributes.

There is very little question that Gorton was on the right path in that regard.

weights are different. kakko is 205lbs.

 

[egelband]

Yes, it's great news. Just stunned. Sitting in my office and my wife told me about an hour ago. I'm 35, she's 33. First kid. We were starting to wonder if we would have a hard time having kids. Can't believe it. We only just finally got married (because of Covid delays, we'd been engaged 2 years) a few weeks ago. Life moves fast... holy cow.

Congratulations! Loki Pup!

 

[LOFIN]

I do like the fact that Kakko is BIG, because that's part of his game. Protect the puck with his body.

Still wating on a thicc Kakko video edit by @EdJovanovski like wide Putin

 

[egelband]

I still think when they're all ripe, it's a good time to get Kakko, Laf, Chytil, and Kravtsov in a Young Guns-inspired photoshoot.

So we’re The Regulators. That’s ‘epic’, as the kids say!

 

[LokiDog]

Congratulations! Loki Pup!

I’m really glad he’s only 4 and will be around to be a big bro for a long time.

Now this looks like what we wanted to see.

Kakko 199 to 205
Laf 193 to 196
Krav 189 to 193
Chytil 206 to 210
Fox 181 to 183
Jones 185 to 175? Also said he lost an inch. Makes me think last year's numbers were very incorrect.
Miller 210 to 216

3-6 pounds of muscle gained in the offseason is exactly what you want. Anything more is likely just fat.

 

[Torontonian]

Hello!

For fantasy reasons lol, Were do we see K'Andre Miller playing in the lineup this year for the Rangers?

 

[jay from jersey]

Yup. Amazing what difference genetics can do.

Miller is another one on the defensive side. Big paws on the puppy. If he hits his ceiling he can be quite a player.
That’s why getting guys with size that can play are a premium. Smaller PMD are way way easier to find.
Look at Niku on waivers. He didn’t perform terribly in the AHL, quite the opposite.
Same reason why guys like Zub have supplanted Brannstrom on OTT depth chart.
It’s not just the size that matter, but we’ve seen over and over GMs taking bigger players hoping they put it all together.
It’s why you make the Trouba/Pionk trade 10 outta 10 times. Finding a trouba is harder then finding a pionk

 

[EdJovanovski]

2nd pair with Trouba, either 2nd PP unit or no PP time at all

top 4 d min. Would say very little to no pp time unfortunately

 

[egelband]

Agree. No PP for Miller and that’s the right move, I’d say. We have better guys for the PP and Miller should focus on being a defensive stalwart.

#CriticalMass

Chytil is f***ing huge.

 

[duhmetreE]

Guess I’m with the wrong group. I was hoping I could find good Ranger camp info here. I could got to Twitter for fake shit.

this is all so stupid. Sorry to offend those who are “just having fun”

Vince on Twitter will always have the best info.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

#CriticalMass

Chytil is f***ing huge.

180 of the 210 pounds are his quads

 

[will1066]

Is Chytil comparable to Gourde ?

He should be at least Gourde when it's all said and done.

 

[Rongomania]

We have five players under 23 who would surprise absolutely no one if they broke out big time this season.

Chytil
Kak
Laf
Krav
Key

Holy shit, that is just fuc*in' insane.

 

[will1066]

One way to get him more ice time.

This is when Kakko is scratched so he can lose some weight before he's allowed back into the lineup, amirite?

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Kreider really did turn into Pedro Cerrano from Major League 2

 

[Kords]

Excited for Lafreniere to experience a sold out MSG. He's the type of dude who thrives off that energy, really stunk that his first goal was in an empty arena.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I can't wait for Ottawa fans to start back-peddling on the stupid 'Stutzle is better' stuff.

This is not a thing.

 

[TJHKY]

Looking good coach!

Wouldn't have been much different if fans were allowed in the building.
