I care that it keeps happening. If Nick Fotiu could slap on skates tomorrow and make sure Kreider and Zib keep having games like yesterday, I won't care that he's spending half the game on an oxygen tank, recalling stories about the time he met Shoeless Joe Jackson. I just care that this team gets the shot it deserves at winning a cup and, ideally, bringing it home so we can stop talking about 1994. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brodzinski is ok as 3C that's a line worth playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking Jonny Brodz in there and I think he's ready to take on the playoffs. 4. I'd rather have RW that makes Zibby and Krieder a force again 5. I don't really have a #5, but I hate even numbers on lists! I'd add this: Henrique isn't dethroning Mika. Nor is he dethroning Vinny. So he's coming in as the 3c, max. In Laviolette's current third line construction, that 3c has to be a north-south guy who loves to play on the boards and crash the net. Bonus points - this shit works in the playoffs. That ain't Henrique. It's Boone Jenner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Our current third line looks like the kid line from years of past. It looks really good. As does line 2, we just need the RW....that's it. And some depth options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakawayMachine Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Remember you can care about the well being of a player but also separate their role on the team itself. Sad to see him hurt, but I am not sad he's off the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're trading him, and I don't think a #1 alone is gonna do it. So I'm backing off Jenner, unless something crazy happens. I really don't think Henrique is the fix any longer. The Fix looks to me like it's going to be a RW that can shoot, score, and mix well with them. Tank has a track record here and it's pretty good! I'd stop fucking around and get that shit done as soon and as inexpensively as possible....then again, I have that same mentality when it comes to doing Jager shots at the bar too...But it works!!! After watching Zibby and CK explode last night, after Wheeler went down, it kinda gave me the hint that maybe...just maybe that's the ticket.

Oh for sure. And as that guy, does he want to move a major or significant piece off the roster as he’s in need of that replacement? Do those candidates want to go there as much if that piece is gone? And does he want to navigate a deadline where he’s making multiple or significant moves while at the same time searching for a new GM? Just putting it out there as potentially impactful variables in the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I wouldn't touch Panarin/Tro/Laff Get Tank cheap for CK and Zibby, Roll with Jonny Brodz as 3C. Also keep Edstrom. That guy's an animal on the boards! Prosper! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think we can all cross that off the wish-list for now. I didn’t see it as a deadline deal anyway. That is more of a down the road type of thing I would imagine.

Flynn Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I don't get the point of hanging on to him (my desire for the Rangers to acquire aside). He's 30, they are absolute dogshit on the ice and they don't exactly have a roster that screams "lets hang on to a team leader whose played his best hockey already".

Scott Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Wheeler with a fractured leg according to the team who was tending to him on the stretcher. As of last night the team Dr's at first glance were saying done for the season. I wish him the best in his recovery and post Rangers career.

Br4d Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The injury was a blessing in disguise. Not wishing any further pain on Wheeler but he was one of the Ranger's likely vulnerabilities in the playoffs. Yes, he got a few goals and assists but he was generally behind the play or caught betwixt and between and those issues get worse in the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
