Recalled/Assigned: Alain Vigneault says Emerson Etem has been assigned to AHL for conditioning #NYR

[DanielBrassard]

. . . who cares?

Right, who cares about getting scoring chances, meaningless.

 

[Tomas Sandstrom 28]

Marcel Hossa 2.0

 

[RGY]

Opportunity? He received NHL shifts for the Ducks and Rangers. He is a former 1st round pick. Where is all the skill to make his own breaks? Stop blaming his linemates. Oh and lets forget the fact that he is absolutely not drawing the teams tougher assignments when he is on those bottom lines. He cant beat opposing bottom liners on forward and defense one on one? Or find a way to produce/standout.


Excuses.

What are the Rangers needs?

 

[silverfish]

What are the Rangers needs?

Getting rid of Glass, Stalberg, Girardi, and Staal

 

[Mr Clutch]

guy was never given a chance. Not saying he was going to be great but he certaintanly should have played over glass

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Right, who cares about getting scoring chances, meaningless.

What does it matter when he's a terrible player? I'm not going to sit there and stats surf like you are. The guy is awful. He's added nothing outside of a game or two where he played well.

 

[TheTakedown]

Etem won't bring back Rychel, least not as the main piece. If it's Etem and a pick for Rychel, the pick we are giving up is yet another first.

that's fine with me. Rychel is 19, any 1st rounder we get will result in an 18 year old player that requires 2 years of development. Rychel may be able to slot in immediately.

Plus Gropp signed his ELC recently.

lmao never given a chance. Wow.

3 assists in 19 games. He's awful.

He did manage to single handedly lose the Florida game.

He just doesnt fit here.

I think some of you guys forget that AV sees these players in practice all the time. What they do there matters.

Ridiculous. He was used as a checking line winger. He was never ever Put in a position to utilize what he is talented at.

If you played Kreider on the 4th line you'd see the same kind of crap. This isn't the 1970s NHL, people don't just dominate 4th lines anymore. There's a reason when we went to the finals our 4th line was used against teams top lines. Was Crosby and all the other stars we played in that run running circles around our 4th line? Yet you expect etem to do so with 2 offensive black holes next to him?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He's just not a good player in general. He is a stupid player who isn't terribly skilled. He has a nice shot but . . . that's about it.

I mean, lol @ using iSC/60 as the sole reason for saying Etem is anything but bad.

He wasn't put in the top six because he's not a top six player. Two teams have now utilized him in the same manner because he's not a top six player.

He's a 25-30 point player. Why the flying **** should we put him with top line guys?

Anyone with two working eyes knows Etem sucks. Don't even need to bring advanced statistics into it.

How is he terrible? He actually did bring things to the table, he is good along the boards, he can carry the puck, he's gone to the net. Three things the Rangers have needed.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

He's a third line winger with possible 2nd line upside...

He's a less talented pouliot

Lol what??

Kreider is established. He may be struggling but he has shown he can score goals...since he was brought up. When is it going to finally click for Etem? You get a crack in the lineup you make it count. Etem hasnt. Stop letting his draft position cloud your vision. Dont act like you watched him religiously when he was with the Ducks or before that, that we are mishandling this guy.

 

[Matz03]

hopefully it is a conditioning stint, Hartford could you some scoring. He can use decent ice time down there, regain some confidence. I can't imagine him being worth anything worthy of a trade with season thus far.

It's not that simple... I could write a thesis on Etem, but technically, I'm on a work call right now

As for the bolded, you could say the same about Jesper Fast.

 

[eco's bones]

Upsetting but I hope he progresses elsewhere and comes back to haunt us. AV is an idiot. His mishandling of Etem is downright embarrassing

Why would you hope for such a thing? Are you some kind of masochist? Don't you want the Rangers to win?

He is a career 3rd liner...

which honestly, is exactly what Hagelin was... Etem had speed, board play, and forecheck abilities.

he would have been a great fit with Hayes and Lindberg...

But whatever... coach is dumb--Stempniak and Etem now on the **** list because of Glass

What about all the things he hasnt brought to the table or done right? What about his piss poor defensive game?

Its like saying well he is an ok employee we should keep him, forgetting the fact that employee is always late and abuses his lunch break

 

[Mac n Gs]

I liked him and think he has potential somewhere, but I'm fine with moving him. I wonder if we move him for a defensive prospect in a similar situation? Someone like Ryan Murphy comes to mind, but what other plays are stuck behind too much depth at one position? Potsma? Jordan Schmaltz? Who else?

McCabe or Pysyk from Buffalo would be a major steal
