NYR2711 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Miller's a surprise, even if it's just an eligibility technicality. Stay healthy, boys Glad to see him here, but does this burn a year of his contract?
Puck Head Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Glad to see him here, but does this burn a year of his contract? I believe you have to play in a certain amount of regular season games to burn a year. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
josh Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Smith has looked good in all the pre-camp videos. He's my dark horse surprise player of the playoffs.
BrooksBurner Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Smith has looked good in all the pre-camp videos. He's my dark horse surprise player of the playoffs. Last time the Rangers were in the playoffs he was good. That's how he got his contract in the first place. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him elevate his game.
Drew a Penalty Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Glad to see him here, but does this burn a year of his contract? It does not. He's allowed to join the team for camp, but won't be traveling to the bubble after. Different from Kaprizov who just signed and is burning a year to participate.
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Last time the Rangers were in the playoffs he was good. That's how he got his contract in the first place. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him elevate his game. Playoff hockey definitely suits him better than regular season hockey. Cool to see Kravtsov there. Would be cool if he had a really good ?pre season? and maybe got a shot with Lemieux out. Very unlikely tho. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

josh Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Glad to see him here, but does this burn a year of his contract? His contract is not slide eligible. He signed the contract when he was 20. He's burning a year regardless. https://www.capfriendly.com/slides

4EverRangerFrank Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I think we?re going to see some incredible hockey from all teams. They?re going right into ?we can win the Cup? mode and that might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Desperation is a very strong motivator. We are saying all of the right things, ?This isn?t training camp.? This is a sprint to the Cup and NYR believe they have a legit shot. LGR!
Scott Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Personally I think the on ice play will suffer greatly around the league. I think the intensity around playoff hockey is generated from the energy in the building. You can't inject that energy into empty buildings.
Drew a Penalty Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I think the crowd effect is overrated. Players develop playing in front of varying crowd levels depending on the league. The crowd only does so much.
Morphinity 2.0 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Let's be honest, the Garden is completely dead most games anyway.
Scott Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 How many games have they played in front of 0? Sure crowd size varies none start 0. I would bet they've never played an organized game in front of 0 fans in their entire lifetimes. We'll disagree strongly that playoff home crowds in most cites bring tremendous energy especially compared to empty buildings. They would be better off playing in small rinks instead of 18,000 seat arenas.
Gravesy Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 I think crowds have some effect on the energy, particularly in the playoffs. But I think players will get used to empty stands quickly. The on-ice product will suffer far more from a 4 month layoff followed by a couple of weeks of skate around and diving straight into the playoffs. 1
RangersIn7 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I don’t think this is a wise choice and while I understand the reason ($$$$) I think they should’ve just shut down and worried about next season. That said, I’d rather hockey and sports in general than none
Sharpshooter Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Baseball next Thursday and hockey the week after! YAASSSS!!!
Ozzy Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Baseball next Thursday and hockey the week after! YAASSSS!!! Bless you sir!!!!!! :clap:

You do know they'd be in the exact same situation if they started next season in September, right?

You do know they'd be in the exact same situation if they started next season in September, right? I think that's the key - even if they bailed, it's starting to look very much like they'll need similar answers in September if that's when the season started. This was the smart decision - you try, you do everything within reason to keep folks healthy, you go as far (ideally all the way) as you can, and you scale out what you learned to the next season. It's not like European soccer and Korean baseball haven't worked most of this out.
