BrooksBurner Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) It's just a numbers game. They want to stay as close to the max cap as possible because it allows them to maximize how far over the cap they can go with Chytil's LTIR hit. Edit: NVM. That's only for when a player first goes on LTIR. They are well past that. Maybe these guys will actually get a look or something.

I think they liked what they saw in the brief glimpse they got if Edstrom and wanna give him another look. Honestly, cycling in a body or two here and there down the stretch to give guys a day off intermittently while also letting sone guys get their feet wet is a good idea. IDK why more teams don’t do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a few guys down there right now they seriously believe will be contributing with the big club in bottom-6 roles over the next 1-2 seasons. Edstrom might be one. Sykora is another.

He’s done an admirable and serviceable job there. That line plays against the other teams top line very often, he’s got a goal and 4 points in 60% DZS and he’s only a minus-6. That said, I think if you got a better 3C, you move Brodz to 4th line RW, both lines improve. Brodz I think would be double barreled there. He’d give line 4 a boost in terms of skill. Speed is the same and it’s pretty good. Plus Brodz gives you 2 options for faceoffs. And it’s a righty/lefty option. Henrique is the guy for line 3. He makes the most sense and checks a lot of boxes. Though the bigger need is a top RW. Thats where the spark is needed. And if we are being honest… I’d have loved to see Chytil pushed to RW and playing with Zib and CK.

Kevin Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I thought I saw somewhere that Panarin’s wife is expecting very soon. Might have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I don't understand why we have to relitigate this trade over and over. He needed to be traded due to the cap. The problem wasn't trading the player, the problem was the return. Move on. There's not a GM in the league who doesn't have a trade they'd love a mulligan on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trade is still more bad luck than bad judgment. It's terrible judgment. They've been looking for this exact type of player ever since. 200' game, PPG player. No need to walk away from such a player. Could have brought in Perry for much cheaper and probably bring in Reaves. Overpaying for Goodrow is totally on Drury. He's already brought in similar players for league minimum. I'm not over it. Nor should I be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely didn't have to be traded for the cap. Don't sign players that aren't that important instead of making capspace for your homegrown PPG RW, when you have so many question marks about tge position. The team literally needs that player back in order to be a serious contender. Its worth harping on, just as much as it's worth harping on Kreider coasting for years and years, despite great production. Let's not pick and choose which long time scars we are allowed to dwell on.

Its worth harping on, just as much as it's worth harping on Kreider coasting for years and years, despite great production. Let's not pick and choose which long time scars we are allowed to dwell on. The difference being Kreider is on the team and Buch isn't. You won't catch me talking about that guy when he's gone. I don't know why the defense of your position constantly involves pointing the finger elsewhere. You know who the team needs right now more than Buch? JT Miller. But we don't relitigate that trade over and over because we know it was fucked up and we move on. Live in the now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It must be a brutal job coaching Hartford this year. You're a provisional coach replacing Knoblauch and the Rangers have been busy on the wire this season due to injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 4 minutes ago, Long live the King said: With the way BCK has been playing, looks line first line Vesey. It does indeed. And can you really blame them? Vesey went up and Bromance immediately lit the Garden up. Also, to @Br4d's point - that's probably why they're content to let Berard and Othmann hang out in Hartford for longer. Lots of movement up and down, but leave the most key guys there if possible.

I'm not mad at it at all. It would be cool to throw Othmann on the top line just for the outdoor game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
