Recalled/Assigned Rangers Recall Johnny Brodzinski and Adam Edstrom From Hartford

[Sharpshooter]

He was okay, I guess. I think he had four shots on goal, so that's good. They'll give him some more time. He is what he is at this point. A good AHL player who's just basically a plug at the NHL level. I can't see him being up for the long haul. He's just a warm body for right now unless he can put up some decent numbers.

[Ozzy]

He's earned the spot, so I'm cool with it.  If Lavvy's cool with him, so am I.  I wanna see him score though.  He's one of those "glue guys" we always used to talk about, and when those guys pot one, it's usually a party!  LOL

[Sharpshooter]

For sure. Style wise I think he's right up Laviolette's alley. It's just a matter of him being good enough to stay at the NHL level for awhile and put up some points. I think he's fine for now, as he has certainly earned this shot.

Where do you see TOI and shifts by period? Is that on the NHL's site somewhere or should I use another site? Did Jonny play the 3rd at all?

 

Who the fuck is the other guy?

[Kick save and a beauty]

Johnny needs a few games to adjust to the differences in speed and quality at this level.  We don't need him to win games for us.  We just need him to eat his share of minutes and not do anything stupid out there.

He got five shifts in the 1st, four in the 2nd, and five in the 3rd. No shifts in the final 8 minutes of the game.

 

Edstrom was a 6th rounder in 2019. 6'7" but actually a pretty good skater with some hands. He's playing top six in Hartford.

Hey Drew, quick question...

 

I know you see the Hartford guys play a lot, but I was wondering if they run the same type of system(s)/style that Lavvy does up here with the Rangers?  You know, kinda making it more of a seamless transition if and when a guy gets called up?

Yes.

Hes a stopgap, temporary player. He just needs to find a small way to contribute, not hurt you, and whatever he chips on offensively is gravy.

From about 55 seconds onward Vince asks about Hartford and Laviolette addresses your question exactly. The short answer is yes they do replicate, but it isn't consistent because of personnel and schedule. The 1-3-1 seems more in use than a left-wing lock, but neither are go-tos like in the NHL.

I was curious because even though it makes sense to do it that way, not every team has that kind of continuity.

 

Thanks man!!

Yeah, it absolutely makes sense to run the same system. There was certainly a lot more of a throughline when Gernander was supplying Torts with players. Last few years there hasn't been much of a system to replicate or talent to really execute it. There's a really good mix of veterans and prospects in Hartford right now that are really buying into an engaging style of play.

Seems they're doing well with it too!

 

Here's to continuity!!  LOL

This has the best shape Hartford has been in awhile I feel. I'm looking forward to Othmann, Berard and Engstrom making their way up.
