Drew a Penalty Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm not impatient, just antsy. :D It's more for those who are disgruntled that Quinn didn't greet Kravtsov with a homemade breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I was just posting that in the other thread, Sharpy! Yeah man, we're gonna have some wiggle room for a change, and that $13 million is going to help hang on to a few controlled RFA's like Buch, Chytil, Goat, Igor and Lindgren. After reading through the Eichel thread, and watching the teams around the league, I'd kinda be happy hanging on to the kids we have, develop them and then in 3 years bring in my boy MacKinnon when he hits UFA status! Oh Christ! Could you imagine him as a Ranger??? ;) I would love it. I'd take him over Eichel for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Speaking of Chytil, he’s come back to reality as usual. I'm disappointed. He really was looking so strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I got Big Buch for a tally tonight, Browny!!! I'm feeling that winning vibe!!! ....maybe it's just gas, but I'm going 4-2 Rangers win this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Quinn’s been recovering from COVID so how do we really expect him to have been all over Kravtsov getting him game ready?

He's shown glimpses like everyone else but not enough, like everyone else. .500 team with .500 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Right. And while he was out he was only in contact with Knoblauch and a select number of players. Maybe he didn't want to start hyping Krav up considering last year things got lost in translation between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Ahhh, I'm done with the Kravvy rant... One question though.....seriously.... Am I missing something with DiGuisseppe??? I think this guy should be wearing an orange smock in the paint aisle at Home Depot...I really don't see anything in this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 in other news that fourth line looked great last game and on paper looks great too - hopefully they keep that up this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Quinn’s been recovering from COVID so how do we really expect him to have been all over Kravtsov getting him game ready? Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Kravtsov has played more hockey than anyone on the team this year, so he dont need to get game ready. If you want him to «learn the system» you can do that over video and with Knobl and the rest, because he played EXACTLY the same system as Quinn and didnt do anything himself, right? Thats what people said atleast. Having Kravtsov «skating on his own» is gonna make him ready for NHL how? He’s in good form, recently played playoff hockey, he knows NA hockey now (played pre season games and been with the team in camp AND played 40 AHL games), he’s young and healthy, he’s a better hockey player than Gauthier. There’s really no reason not having our top prospect play in a lost season when we use Gauthier and Blackwell in his position. None. There’s not even fans in the building and the last two wing prospect shit the bed so there’s not even any pressure on him.

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Watching video isn't comparable to running drills in practice. It's easier to watch videos and think you're capable than it is to physically execute. What you're suggesting isn't comparable, it's supplemental to practicing. He's skating on his own because it's a gameday and he isn't going to be rotating amongst the regulars if he's already not in consideration for tonight. That's standard practice. It's not as though he's being withheld or ostracized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Aside from Kravtsov, what's the over/under that we end up trading guys like Rooney, and Blackwell at the deadline?? Those guys have done an admirable job this season, and I kinda wish we got to see a little more of Bitetto. Rooney would be a decent 4th line center on a cup contender....and Blackwell would be a good 4th line grinder/PK guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to see Rooney anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I really wouldn't mind keeping both of those guys around next year, especially Blackwell, to stay on and help improve the bottom six that still needs some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's easy to "fall in love with" the various fourth liners that pass through on occasion but I've found myself impressed by Rooney and Blackwell. They feel a step above the Paul Careys and Greg McKeggs we've seen pass through over the last number of years. They're much closer to the fourth liners that help you compete in playoffs than just AHL fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking why not get something back for a couple of guys that are both signed for another season, CHEAP? They're not even rentals to teams acquiring them. I like both of them as well, and they're really good NHL'ers, We could lose either of them in the Expansion draft for nothing, and we're going to need some roster space for all these young wingers anyway. Why not get a few picks for '22, for a couple of guys who we didn't think would even move the needle this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Blackwell has been a really good fit here, I would be kind of bummed if he did get claimed. But, that was most likely his purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
