RJWantsTheCup Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Rosen tweeted a Quinn quote that he didnt want any top-9 guys playing on the 4th line Howden is practicing on 4th line. Guess that means they don't look at him as a top 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Howden is practicing on 4th line. Guess that means they don't look at him as a top 9? I think it speaks more to Howden's play being more suited for the 4th line than Andersson's. Howden is also just further ahead developmentally.

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 What is a rosert? Defense is still a major liability, imo. Go Rangers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Would rather have Anderson here and send McLeod packing. 4th line minutes and practicing with the big club is better than Hartford, and McLeod sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I can't think of a better way to retard a young center's development -- whether its Howden or Lias -- than sticking him on a line with McCleod, who screams out "no longer able to play at an NHL level." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I?m pretty exciting about this kid Yes sir, same here. He was physical and very effective yesterday. He and Vesey were swarming and had a nice forecheck going. He looks like he can be relied on to be consistent and bring elements like defense, speed, effort and forechecking every night. Has offense chops with his quickness and should develop into a very nice passer. Here's a take... Howden is much like Stepan... if Step was faster, taller, stronger, more energetic, more assertive defensively and had better hair. RJ, it is confusing if you base your understanding on a too literal interpretation. Simply, the idea that Howden is a 4C is very far from his projections. It is not accurate. It may just mean Quinn does not want Lias on the 4th line and he did not beat out the guys he plans on giving top 9 minutes. Maybe he expects the 4th line to forecheck more or be gritty and he thinks Howden is better at that role. One of Chytil, Howden and Lias was going to Hartford.

RJWantsTheCup Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think Howden deserves to be kept up over Andersson at this point. Just find the quote confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the Rangers are not going to put a kid in the role of 13th forward. Pretty sure that became McLeod's role the minute Belesky separated his shoulder. I'm hoping he sees very limited spot duty, which means Lettieri is the only fringe player on the 4th line and he seems ready to play a pesky forechecking game. Sod16, that should not slow up Howden's development. Sidenote - really would like to see Vesey on the line with Howden. It looked like they had nice chemistry and communication going and they both played their best game, together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Sod16, that should not slow up Howden's development. Jus' sayin' if when they come out with those stats on total minutes played with different players, after 41 games, I don't want to see Howden having played with McCleod for more than 90 seconds. (This is somewhat aside from the fact that I don't want to see anyone playing with McCleod for more than 90 seconds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Fans will be pissed when its Chytil by game 3. Not happening, none of the kids are spending prolonged periods in the pressbox. You forgot we have a coach and GM who now have a real rebuilding plan that includes these kids. If they aren't getting significant minutes, they'll go to Hartford. Lias struggled on the PK, wasn't seeing PP time. Lack of special team's minutes would cut his minutes further, he gets to work on both in Hartford. And be the 1C. Sod, I agree. We have enough toughness on the blueline to not see McLeod more than once or so a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 AV doesn't coach here anymore. True, meaning the same fans that bitched about AV will give Quinn a pass for doing the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pws85nyr Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Howden over Andersson the only surprise for me. Not sure I agree with the logic, but happy to see either get a shot.

Fatfrancesa Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I would hope everybody will give Quinn a little rope before ripping him for anything. The guy hasn’t coached a game yet. I admit I hated everything about av. I don’t have an opinion about Quinn because in all honesty yes I’m repeating myself, but I don’t expect to hear anything but great things about him when I watch the games. It will take a while to get a gauge on what he is, longer when weeding through the bullshit. I will say I’m not100% sure he’s the teacher he’s made out to be based on his days at bu. That school always has the best talent because of who they are. To say he’s developed well at bu is not all that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
