Drew a Penalty Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Seems like we might get more Lundkvist and/or Schneider tonight. Jones gets to sit which might be a positive sign for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I've personally thought, but what do I know? Who’s said that? I’ve been high on Lundkvist for a long time, but he’s looked a little «out of it» in the two pre season games so far. Not bad (Not on the ice for a single goal against, although he’s only played in two blowout losses) and he’s got a couple of assists, but I expect more from him. The ice size, speed and strength of NA hockey looks to have caught him a little «off guard», but I think that’s something he’s easily capable of adjusting to. Starting the season in the A with top line and PP1 time would be good for him. I was not a big Jones fan last year, but he’s looked really good so far in pre season. It’s his spot to lose atm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I've personally thought, but what do I know? All around play, it is Lundkvist. But Jones has stood out offensively. He has a lot of lapses in his own zone, though (expected from a kid). Jones has been more of a stand-out guy in pre-season due to his offense and control. Lundkvist has been in both games the Rangers got destroyed - and I dont think he was on the ice for a goal against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I really can't say who's better than who, I just think it's a good organizational decision to send Jones down and keep the Swede here.

RJWantsTheCup Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Keep both Jones and Lundkvist up and send Miller down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 IMO Lundkvist had the best game of any rookie last night. He looked great with the puck but also threw some reverse hits in his own end and played a solid defensive game. I just don't think it makes any sense to play Jones or Schneider over Lundkvist when they have no pro experience. They should, and I believe they will, go to the minors. Nemeth also looked solid. I think the D corps this year will be the best we've had in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 McKegg also waived with the purpose of sending him to Hartford. Jones and Lundkvist still in competition for 6D.

Rather Schneider get top line minutes in Hartford than be a 6th d here. Kid has some real potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I'm just enthused that I don't have to watch McKegg in a Rangers jersey for at least a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I'm actually surprised McKegg didn't stick as the 5th center on the team. I'm not complaining but I thought he'd stick over Baron and Gauthier, who I don't think get anything out of being on the 5th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm not surprised Wall went down, but he really looks NHL ready to me, or at least very close to it. He had a very good showing in preseason. I'm still kind of 'meh' on Georgiev, but if they ever trade him, Wall seems to be a really good option.

And 4 righties on the PP1 have already been exposed. Especially when the guy up top (Fox) don't have a good shot. It's really just Panarin from the left thats a threat with this setup.

Drew a Penalty Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm okay with that top unit remaining the same if it can find the magic it had two seasons ago. Strome was still on the unit then. The biggest issue last season was that Zibanejad wasn't a threat for most of the year. A healthy Zibanejad probably makes that a top 10 PP again. Agreed re: Trouba but I'm not worried considering either Jones or Lundkvist are more likely to get the job on PP2. I think this coaching staff is already more aware of how they should use Trouba.
