delneggs Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Too bad for Wheels, hope he heals up soon. If I were GM, I would bring up Othmann and give him a shot right now for at least 5 or 6 games and see what he can do with Mika and Kreids before giving up any assets for a RW. Johnny B has solved the 3C issue in my mind and along with Cuylee and Kakko make a solid 3rd line. If Othmann can fill 1RW, they have all they need except maybe a depth piece or two. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWantsTheCup Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 What percentage does Wheeler get when the Rangers win the cup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I'd leave Othmann and the rest alone right now. Unless there's a wild, unforeseen travesty, he stays right where he is. We have everything we need right here, and that includes Edstrom. That big bastard stays right here! The Tank is the last piece of the puzzle. For you guys that thought we brought in too much last season, I would think you guys would be in favor of that. Fuck Henrique...I want Tank, and I ain't trading anything more than a 4th rounder this year for him, otherwise Ottawa can blow me! Simply put!

That guy's an animal on the boards! Prosper! That's the real silver lining. I thought RW was more of a priority than center. Now it is. I'm ok with Tro at 2C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Brooks reports Wheeler is out for the rest of the regular season. Tough break for him. Guess time will tell if we go deep enough if a comeback is possible but I would guess unlikely. Even if he could come back, by then, there may not be a spot for him to be honest. Hope the recovery goes well. Edited February 16 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetchy2 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Interesting how most of our slowest forwards are now gone (Bonino, Pitlick, and Wheeler). Is Goodrow next, lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 For Trouba to say that leads me to believe this was as bad as it looked. My guess is Wheeler went into this likely thinking he had a year or 2 left to play. And for this to happen now, at this stage and where he is at, is the rehab to get back even worth it at this point? Not many elite teams are going to be looking to sign a player at his age coming off a major leg injury. So if he is looking to win, this may have been his last chance. So I do have a lot of sympathy for him, because if that’s how he goes, it’s a very brutal and unfair way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 5 hours ago, Scott said: 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. Damn. Dude took it pretty well. Tried to get up twice. I'd think such an injury would have someone writhing in pain laying on the ice. Guys a fuckin warrior. Hope he's back in time for the playoffs. Need big bodies that are willing to park infront of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
