The Dude Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Vet D. Added. Good pickup, but does this mean Miller is gone? Guy is a 40 point D man. We need that? Bah. It's depth. Figures I say Laviolette typically doesn't bring in former players that he's coached. This makes 2 including Bonino.

Cash or Czech Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I don’t understand this move if the organization is truly going to give Zac Jones a chance. Means Harpur is pegged for the AHL as well, which I’m fine with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Probably Drury’s best move today. Proven fit with Laviolette at a position of need. Pretty good player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if there’s an injury? Or if Jones doesn’t take? It looks ugly quick. Edited July 1, 2023 by BrooksBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's that he sucks. Whether by injury or the grace of God, 42p is 42p. Sounds to me like he was number 19 on his agent's client list. He's never made more than $3m and, at 31, he just tied his career high point total. He's really going to flash his shit for the GMs splitting time with Zac Jones for 7D? Just seems like he coulda/shoulda done better in this market. Oh, and lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Oddly very inexpensive deal. You'd think he had an in on the roster or the organization that talked him into this. He played a tiny bit with Panarin and Kane in Chicago. But, he also had AHL experience with a bunch of former Ranger and Pack players that were in Chicago's system as well as from his Swedish league (Motte, Raddysh, Clendenig, Rydahl, Claesson, Zibanejad, and Hanks brother Joel...) Guessing he goes way back with Zibanejad. Besides Wheeler, this is a huge steal. One I don't understand or really agree with, but holy shit.

Br4d Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 He's 31. If he has a good year with the Rangers he'll get a 3 year deal next year at a much better AAV. Odds are he and his agents liked the fit with Laviolette and figured that he might get some real playing time with Lindgren getting hurt as often as he does.

Valriera Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Drury is 9/10 this period. Only one more point would be freeing cap room. Doubt it but still great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 This is a real strain on Jones, but I really like this. The biggest problem the Rangers' defense has had is just a lack of puck-moving ability. This gives each pair at least one viable mover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Am I the only one who thinks Schneider is on the cusp of being the complete package and can probably move the puck well, once he has a decent partner that he's used to? He carries the puck really well for a bigger guy IMO. I know people say he's an automatic up the boards guy, but I've seen him motor and make good decisions with the puck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneider will be a top-4 type guy in the near future. Puck moving? Not sure on that. But being able to play 20+ minutes a night, against top players, in most situations and not have his minutes sheltered… yes. I think so. He wasn’t a 1st round pick who was in the NHL within like 18 months of draft day for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindgren-Fox Miller-Trouba Schneider With Jones/Gustaffson/Harpur I still view Jones as an unknown, though I want him to get a look. But minus him, you have 7 that are proven to be AT THE VERY LEAST, serviceable options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
