Prospect Info: With the 123rd Overall Pick the Rangers Select Brandon Crawley

[Raspewtin]

A guy who can play solid minutes for a decade who was picked outside the top 100 in a weak draft class has no place in this game. Got it.

Yeah because that's the description we were referring to

Sorry if I misunderstood. But that's what it sounded like.

 

[Jonas1235]

seems like he goes right to Hartford. I bet 1% of picks 65-200 make the NHL. Not seeing much potential here.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Like this pick the least out of the ones we have, hopefully there's something there I'm not seeing

We love guys who hate our team...

And can't spell. And are insensitive to the mentally handicapped.

(I know, I know, he was 15 at the time.)

 

[Starry Knight]

He was better than Juolevi this year so...

Casting him as a mediocre-skating, defensive defenceman isn't really an accurate representation of what he brings either. Can carry the puck with authority and has a very hard shot. He has blossomed into a great player for the Knights and was absolutely worth a draft pick (even after going through the draft twice).

edit: If you are looking for a player comparison, I don't hate Jason Demers.

Is he going to play in pro hockey next season or back to the Knights?

 

[Ail]

Are you really comparing Tanner Glass to Dan Girardi?

If that's how you interpreted it, sure.

A guy who can play solid minutes for a decade who was picked outside the top 100 in a weak draft class has no place in this game. Got it.

If he plays like Dan Girardi in the NHL as it stands now? Yeah, he has no place in this game. Dan Girardi's are no longer good defensemen they just bought Girardi out why would you want another guy who plays the same style of game which clearly is not working anymore? Yeah, I could really use another decade of a guy throwing the puck around the board on every shift or passing it right to the tape of the other team as he attempts a horrible outlet pass, or handcuffs his partner who he drags down every game.

 

[Bee Sheriff]

Abso-****ing-lutely.

Dan Girardis are a dead breed in this game. There's no place for them.

They're also the players that get really long leashes from coaches for doing things "the right way".

That's the exact vibe I get from our own Zboro, actually.

So should players do things the wrong way?

LMFAO "Retarted"

Welcome to the Rangers!

 

[Ail]

So should players do things the wrong way?

When the "right way" is actually the wrong way, then yes. The "wrong way" would then be the right way.

 

[Joey Bones]

"Retarted" should be his nickname....

That's better than Girardi, we'll go with that for the sake of the board's sanity.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Hilarious. People who've not seen the guy play hate the pick.

 

[eco's bones]

.....makes me think he was a Devils or an Islanders fan. I'd go with the Devils.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Speak for yourself. Your sanity. You were the one who complained about the comparison.

If this guy had 50 CF+ %, you'd love this pick, and call him Josh Manson.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

.....makes me think he was a Devils or an Islanders fan. I'd go with the Devils.

He's from NJ. Probably a Devils fan. Maybe a Flyers fan.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

.....makes me think he was a Devils or an Islanders fan. I'd go with the Devils.

Eh, the odds are small. I mean the Devils have like 50 fans and the Islanders have like 100.




I'll go with the Flyers.

I never said I hated the pick, some ding dong comparing him to Girardi isn't going to make me turn on a pick I've never seen play. I just certainly hope he doesn't become Dan Girardi for his sake.

 

[Ghost of jas]

He's from Glen Rock, he's a Devils fan. And, given that tweet, we found our partner for DeAngelo.

 

[eco's bones]

We should give him a break on the tweet. You can't expect Devils fans to be able to spell.

[Starry Knight]

That'd be entirely up to the Rangers. The Knights would take him back with open arms.

Wait. Did you seriously just say you'd be upset if this guy ended up as Girardi? A mid round pick becoming a 10-year NHLer would UPSET you?

This ****ing board. Jesus ****ing Christ.
