Phil Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 ?Mika and Kevin earned the right to be centers off of their careers and the seasons they had for us last season,? Gorton said. ?As far as Kevin, people should not assume we?re necessarily in a one-and-done situation. ?It is a one-year deal, but like I?ve told Kevin, we?d like to have him long-term. He?s said that he wants to be here, so let?s have him come to camp in great shape, be a leader, have a big season, and let?s go from there. Nothing is set in stone.? https://nypost.com/2018/09/06/rangers-second-year-studs-in-middle-of-center-glut/ Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYR2711 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 For the first time in a long time, they actually have a lot of depth at center ready to step in. Andersson, Chytil and Howden are ready to take over the middle, I don’t see how Hayes fits in with this team anymore. It’s either him or Zib, and I’d rather have Zib over Hayes.

siddious Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I really can?t picture him here next season. This just seems like Gorton saying what he needs to say.

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Really now, is Gorton's statement that hard to understand? Prove yourself. Go Rangers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Nothing. That's always an option. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk True. Saying nothing doesn't seem to be part of Gorton's MO though. He'll get an uncomfortable question and then go "ummmmmm, eehhhhhhhhh, y'know" followed by something taken straight out of hockey management 101.

Slobberknocker Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 This sounds like a come into camp in great shape. work hard, be productive and be a leader so we can sell high on you at the deadline. i want more assets. especially the way we like to draft off the board all the time.

josh Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think they wait until December/January. If the team is doing well, and Hayes is a big part of the success, they try to extend him at a reasonable rate. If he's hard at the negotiation table, or the team is "as expected", he's traded at the deadline. There are a lot of teams that could use a 2nd/3rd line center this season, or at playoff time. We could see a solid return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 no doubt the guy has value in my mind. will be interesting to see if he has another level to his game this year. if i dont see that, move him along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm actually excited to see Hayes play this season. IDK why, but I feel like he's going to be considerably better than the previous two season. Wishing thinking maybe, but he's definitely had flashes of solid.

Slobberknocker Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 maybe he ate too many of Philly's wings last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Maybe that's why he only scored only 19 Goals last season. And was a non-factor the last time we made the postseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I think as long as he's playing well, we hang on to him....then at the deadline we should get some much better value. That's in a perfect world....this is the Rangers I have to remember! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
