jsrangers Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Non-rookies. Hopefully Howden, Lias has nowhere to go but up but I suspect he'll be more of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Going with Tony D. Kind of a make or break year for him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tphilly5 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Went with Chytil..especially if he is 2C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hopefully Chytil. He needs to start moving from talented youngster to a certain degree of NHL production in his third year. Have a sneaky feeling Buch might have a big year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Simple: Brady Skjei. He was HORRIBLE last year. Next year, he's one more year beyond the massive contract, which Quinn said put pressure on him. He's no longer expected to be a #1D, which put pressure on him. He's a year further into his development. The Rangers are no longer dog shit. Brady Skjei should be much much better next year. And if he's not, it's a big problem.

Dunny Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Lias. If he emerged as a pesky, responsible, 45-50 point guy, that would really give me a boner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Shattenkirk if he's around. If not, Skjei, like 31 said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hard to say it's his "third year." He has 84 career NHL games. Fair. But I just hope he sticks a bit this year. You can see the talent is there, it just needs to be put together. I really, really hope he can make that 2c spot his own this season. But he’s young and it’s not a disaster if he needs more time.

AliveIn94 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Lias. If he emerged as a pesky, responsible, 45-50 point guy, that would really give me a boner.Having goals off his stick instead of his body would help too.

Fatfrancesa Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I’m found lias as well. Probably never going to be very offensive. However I do think he defines his role as an important piece moving forward as a checking center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBrowningPI Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm sticking with Howden playing well enough to warrant the 2C spot. The pitch on Skjei is excellent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Every player has at least 1 vote. I like how a pretty strong case can be made for any of them. I went with Buchnevich. I expected it last year, but for whatever reason it didn't work out until the latter portion of the season. I still see big things there. Honarable mentions for me are Andersson and Chytil. I personally think Andersson has the makings of a very good player, and his value is very low with the fanbase. If he put up 35-40 points he will probably win this category.

Kevin Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm sticking with Howden playing well enough to warrant the 2C spot. The pitch on Skjei is excellent as well. You think he has that type of ceiling? I'd like for him to just be a disciplined, two-way, forward that can anchor a 4th line and maybe slot up to the 3rd occasionally. I just don't see the talent level being high enough to warrant 2c for a prolonged time with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Lias ,second line center is there waiting for youHe'd currently be my 4th choice there after Chytil, Strome, and Names. Hard to say it's there waiting for him. Becoming and NHL regular would be a massive step forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the talent level being high enough to warrant 2c for a prolonged time with him.I do think Howden has the creativity and playmaking ability. We saw glimpes of it in his rookie year. Hopefully he'll add the consistency to his game needed for a 2C role. It will definitely help his game having some talent on his wings which will help his confidence to get to the next level. It's just one of a myriad of reasons I can't wait to see this team play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I do think Howden has the creativity and playmaking ability. We saw glimpes of it in his rookie year.

It's just one of a myriad of reasons I can't wait to see this team play. Howden absolutely has 2nd line potential. I think he got a bit comfortable last season and let up. He wasn't as noticable as he was to start the year. I don't know if it was a nagging injury or something, but he was head and shoulders the 2nd best center option they had next to Hayes. I voted Chytil, but I'm actually going to go with Strome. I think if he gets a chance at big minutes he can fulfill that potential he's always had. The guy looked really good when he got ice here. He's definitely more than a 4th liner. Very aggressive play and had kind of an edge to his game. I think that should be more along the lines of what Quinn is looking to have out there if Chytils skill doesn't mesh right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
