Ozzy Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 It's cool that almost all of these depth signings off the 'scrap heap' have come in and done such a good job and really, have been some of the Rangers best players. It's also not cool that almost all of these depth signings off the 'scrap heap' have come in and have been some of the Rangers best players.

Ozzy Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 playing himself to Seattle even if he does, Winter....good for him! The guy has been a breath of fresh air, and hopefully we can jump start his career. :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Colin Blackwell was a real surprise this year. Happy to see him succeed. He plays a big game for a 5'9" guy. Hope he sticks around after the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 i dont. there's nothing in his game that this team needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 i dont. there's nothing in his game that this team needs. Agree. He's Jesper Fast - who (gasp) was very easily replaced by an absolute nobody in Blackwell. If they address the teams issues properly this year, there won't be a need for him.

The major concern over Fast leaving didn't age well. lol Their PK was just as good, if not better, without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Blackwell, Fast is a 3rd/4th liner who can slot up in a disaster scenario. But if that player is up in the lineup, your team isn't very good.

If they address the teams issues properly this year, there won't be a need for him. He's really not Fast. He's Fast-lite. But I agree — if you actually address the issues this summer, he won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Indeed. Fast was getting first line reps last year which was a big 'yikes' moment. I liked him a lot, but geez. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 When I saw this thread bolded really quickly out of the corner of my eye, I thought they had already signed him to an extension. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hopefully, they can find some chemistry with Kakko or Krav on the 2nd line in camp next year, because that's actually going to make this team dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3rd line center like Getzlaf would be a god send for them, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Aka Kakko. Yes. He definitely showed that this year. His strength on the puck was A+ this year, which made the lack of points even more frustrating/mystifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they address the teams issues properly this year, there won't be a need for him. They certainly missed Fast in the room and in between their ears.

Phil Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 He's on my shopping list. I know Anaheim has been really bad, but man, he's on a steep decline. 2017-18: 1.09 P/GP 2018-19: 0.72 P/GP 2019-20: 0.61 P/GP 2020-21: 0.35 P/GP Feels like the right idea, but probably the wrong player. He's 36. How much is objectively left in his tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 36. How much is objectively left in his tank? I mean Anaheim absolutely blows. For a 3rd/4th line center who's won a cup? I'm into it. Same as I was into Thornton and Chara and Perry. Cheap, two year deal. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
