Rumor: Carl Klingberg headed to Russia

[Joey Bones]

mods at your leisure, I think he has officially signed (Yardbarker, but I could have that wrong).

FWIW, I think we retain his NHL rights, at least for a while, no?

No he didn't. Still a rumor as of now. It would've been up on more reliable sites like Igor Eronko's twitter account or elite prospects.

I heard a rumor a while back if we were moving Klingberg out our friend in Miami would go along.

Friend in Miami??

 

[FJB]

Stempniak > Glass

Your father did did business with our friend in Miami, he respected our friend in Miami, but he never trusted our friend in Miami.

 

[Miamipuck]

Friend in Miami??

He means me.

 

[Caser]

Torpedo team officially confirmed that they signed him link(in Russian)

Out clause? Why not a pick for stempniak again?

I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!

As did he:

Moving to Russia next season, and will be playing for Torpedo, Nizhny Novgorod. Will be a great adventure!

A horrible trade that seems to get overlooked.

Dumped Stempniak who is a great scoring bottom 6 winger (something we desperately need) for nothing, to get Sheppard, only to still sit him in favor of Glass.

Every time someone plays the "I think the coach/GM know better than you" card, this scenario needs to be brought up.

 

[Raspewtin]

Thanks AV!

Moron.

Yep. Just piss poor asset management. Not to mention the 4th rounder we lost too

 

[The Undertaker]

I hate Glass

Can't blame Sather on that, AV just didnt want to use Sheppard for god knows why and played Glass instead (ok blame sather for that signing )

cannot skate perhaps?

glass has always been avs guy. no surprise there

shep was and is awful.

Not really.

He was at best a 4th liner...but that is better than Glass was.

Glass was **** in both ends and cost us goals, worst forward in the last decade as a forward...right next to Hollweg (and Hollweg beats him cause he ACTUALLY could go out and make the otehr team scared to enter the zone in fear of getting borded)

 

[NYRFANMANI]

shep was and is awful.

This is really unfair to say. We barely played him, so no chemistry and experience with his team/line-mates. We didn't help his confidence either. Just think about it, you were benched in favor of Tanner Glass! Tanner mofo Glass; you'd be like: "yo, **** this bs for real!"

I think we totally misused and treated Shep like ****. I liked him a lot and I'd love it, if could get rid of Glass and keep him at a low price for the 4th line. He was big and when hot, didn't shy away from laying a hit.

Shep-Moore-Kling, anyone?

edit: since Klign is gone, how about Shep-Moore-Hrivik

He's Gretzky compared to Glass.

 

[we want cup]

For a guy as smart as AV, it was really mind-boggling that he ditched Stempniak to keep Glass in the lineup. Now our return in the trade is gone and this is really looking like a not insignificant **** up.

 

[haohmaru]

Stempniak was more of a salary dump than anything else. I don't think the Rangers expected much more than a roster spot in Hartford for Klingberg - and that's probably why he signed in Russia.

(Edit) Someone should change the thread title from "rumor" to "confirmed" too.

I knew Carl, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things.

Hahaha fear of getting boarded... man that guy hit everything. Will still not forget the dumb penalties he took, but that was sheer entertainment value. Played 3 years as a Ranger and the team made the playoffs with him being an everyday player.

He lost a home playoff game all by himself in his last year.

was reminded of him during this morning's Sweden-Russia Worlds game on NHL network, he and his brother played (Hank's twin too)

hadn't seen this February'17 article before today, it might have been cited here in roster thread ...

" ... Still living the dream of games in the NHL, however, remain. The contract with Zug expires this summer, the only question is how the New York Rangers down to the Swede's desire to play on the other side of the Atlantic.
- NHL, there is of course the dream. I want to return to the NHL, no question about it. But it comes to me and Rangers agree in that case, he says. ... "
