confirmed: Traverse City Tournament Roster Features 24 prospects Including Andersson and Chytil

They were thinking "He's used to not winning, and is entertaining in losing".

[jsrangers]

Anyone else wondering what about Lias Andersson made them think, "this guy's a 7th overall talent for sure"?

 

Yeah it's WAY early but my biggest fear is IF they wiff on any of these top picks. Hopefully I'm wrong about Lias.

First period the Rangers dominated, 2nd was uneventful, Wild have started skating and the Rangers are gassed (again)

[Phil]

To be fair to him, Traverse City is about the worst possible tournament to be judging his talents in. It's designed to highlight highly offensive players and has a tendency to make defensive-oriented types look worse than they might actually be. I'd withhold judgement until at least preseason.

The tournament is best for 1-on-1 players, or guys that show up for 1 play a week.

[Phil]

Which Andersson is not.

[josh]

really, none of these guys are, and thats a good thing.

 

Even guys like Chytil and Kravtsov require smart teammates to be successful. The Rangers have been doing a great job drafting smart players. Theyre all 2 way players, with offensive potential, great team players, a ton of leaders, guys that love the game and want to be better. A little different than McIlrath,Del Zotto, Sanguinetti types of picks where they try to force something

Give us the cup!!!

[Stephen]

Give us the cup!!!

 

We will win the cup in about five to ten years!!! Youth showed us promise in tonight's win vs MIN. Brodeur had a good start tonight. Would it be strange to have an NYR jersey with the name Brodeur on the back?

[Stephen]

We actually held a lead for once in an age!

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Are we really concerned with anything we see from this tourney? I?m just glad Hockey is back.

No. It's glorified open skate.

7th place game is on now!

1-1 through 1.
