Player Discussion Will Borgen

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Please welcome our newest defenseman, Will Borgen!

He will fit right in on our blue line.

Reports are that multiple teams were interested in acquiring Will Borgen for a "Win Now" mindset. These teams Chris Drury successfully beat out were the Hershey Bears and Grand Rapid Griffins.



As always, please report to the Garden with a Blood Alcohol Content level below .9 on the night of your first game to receive a line of cocaine with James Dolan and a complementary No-Movement Clause.

Play decent enough, move at the deadline for more picks. Hopefully get at least another third round pick back.

Last year Lyubushkin went for a 3 and a 6

Edmundson went for a 3 and a 5

The Rangers traded a 4th for Chad

Collin Miller went for a 4th

It should be very easy to move Lindgren, Vak and Borgen if they are in total sell mode.

At least he's fast

 

[LokiDog]

He’ll be the 3rd or 4th best guy on the team for now. He’s also a #7 on a remotely good team which says a lot.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If he could get back to what he was in 21-23 he’d be a fine bottom pairing defenseman.

Borgen did not respond to the coaching change in Seattle. Everything fell off the table . Different system. Adding Montour shook up the group.

If the intention is to flip Borgen, this might work out well.

Kakko desperately needed a change of scenery. He will struggle in Seattle’s system.

Help us get Hagens please.

Seattle is up tempo iirc. If he couldn't keep up in NY, he'll need to strap rockets to his skates.

I feel like I'm going to buy a newspaper announcing the 1929 stock market crash from this dude.

 

[NYR Viper]

Borgen is better than people are giving him credit for. He’s a big guy who skates well and plays a pretty physical game. I think many will be pleasantly surprised here

Being better than Lindgren is a huge W.

 

[NYR Viper]

The guy plays 3rd pairing minutes and has had about 200 hits every year. He skates well. He’s a RD. He’s 28. He’s not perfect but he doesn’t need to be. Just provide good 3rd pairing minutes

I’d love for this to be the case but he’s been awful.

Maybe he needed a change and there able to do flip him for something else in a few months but it doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence with how they want to build their D.

Seattle has very little skill for Kappo to play off.

Borgen f***ing blows bro. He’s literally, a bigger and quicker Lindgren. No puck skills. I guess he’s fine as a third pairing guy with Jones? I think my issue isn’t necessarily the player, but rather seeing pizza bitch go full potato right before Xmas with this being the main return for Kakko.

I'm gonna start rooting for a 2nd team and pretend this franchise is all a bad dream until they straighten their shit out.My love for the sport isn't going to be ruined by these brain dead monkeys

 

[RangersFan1994]

Help us get Hagens please.

Already has chemistry with Perreault at BC. Get it done.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Can't deny he's having a bad year, but I said in the trade thread I watch a lot of Seattle and this guy has some interesting tools.

Idk if this is the team to bring the best out of a player like him, but I see a lot of Klein in him.
