Albatrosss Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I agree. But everyone I talk to loves him. Rangers fans are always infatuated with the backups. Valiquette, Biron, Montoya, Raanta, Chad Johnson, Talbot, Matt Zaba People love him cause he’s new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Had a shut out in the last game. Between him, georgiev, and huska this team is fine for the next decade in goaltending. Just hope they manage these assets well. Olof Lindbom is also having a good season. I didnt like that they used a 2nd rounder on him, but he?s still a solid prospect.

Dunny Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Good point, don't sleep on Lindbom. Goalies take a while to find their way, he could be an exciting piece in the near future. My goal would be to contstantly platoon two effective goalies, this promotes internal competition, keeps them fresh and most importantly, the platoon will suppress salary.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Day with a brutal turnover, but nice to see Shesterkin doing good. We have a huge goalie problem soon, cause if Shesterkin keeps up his play he wont stay in the A for very long.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Leads the league in GAA (1.18), 2nd in save% (.955). 6 goals against in 5 games. His numbers in KHL was crazy, and it looks like he keeps it going the A. Cant wait to see him in a rangers jersey.

Albatrosss Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Someone should tell Lundqvist to retire by next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Someone should tell Lundqvist to retire by next season Or just convince him to waive the NMC to go try to win a Cup. I don't see how he doesn't regret not trying to win one somewhere. Is he really going to bank on the Rangers being that much better by next season that they will win a Cup? He's running out of time. I have appreciated his loyalty but going elsewhere makes the most sense for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 yeah, he must understand that he's blocking our youth movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may value being a career Ranger more than the off-chance a trade to a city he doesn't want to play for will win him a Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 did he win us a cup? he earned no right. or maybe little right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 I disagree. He is, to me at least, the greatest goaltender in franchise history. Cup or not. I think he's earned the right to call his shot. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The NMC the GM gave him gives him the right to call his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The NMC the GM gave him gives him the right to call his shot. That, and historically speaking, when you trade career Rangers and faces of the franchise without giving them any agency, it doesn't go over well. Doubly so when you do it on the player's birthday.

LindG1000 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Richter was traded. Twice, no? I know Richter was traded to EDM for Corey Potter at one point (maybe the pick that became Corey Potter) - was it Leetch who was traded twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what value there is in being a "career Ranger" though, as if it's a badge of honor and he would get treated differently post-retirement.

Dunny Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I don't think he's earned any more, or less, than other great Ranger goalies. None of them got to dicatete that stuff. Henrik was paid, and he has a NMC. Nothing says they can't ask him three times a year if he'll waive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Richter was also traded to San Jose because of an expansion draft... but maybe I’m confused with the Graves thing too. I know 1 or bother we’re “loophole” trades though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Richter's rights were traded to, Vancouver or Edmonton iirc, prior to one of the early 90's expansion drafts. He then signed with the Rangers as a free agent. He never actually played for another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then signed with the Rangers as a free agent. He never actually played for another team. He was drafted by Nashville in the expansion draft but I believe something to do with RFA rights prevented that from happening. This happened twice in some capacity or another.

Drew a Penalty Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think we'll see how another season on a bad team affects him. He's mentioned how tiresome and mentally strenuous last season was on him. He, like many, expected them to be better than they've been. Can't see why he'd stay here where it's even a struggle to build personal accolades at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
