Player Discussion Dominic Moore

[Ori]

A brief interview this evening: http://www.blueshirtsunited.com/video/moore-we-need-continue-work-together

I`ve feeling that he will score for us in this serie vs Pengs.
So about Dominic Moore will he continue to play on our 4th line as a center next season with us? I am happy about him and his role as a solid pker as well.
I hope we keep Moore and move Glass after the summer, but with AV as coach I can`t see that happen though.

I think Hrivik works his way onto the 4th line next season....and plays there with Lindberg & Glass. At Moore's age, he needed to have a better season to justify keeping him around. For next year, I see:

Miller-Brass-Nash
Kreider-Step-Zuuc
Buch-Hayes-Fast
Glass-Lindberg/Hrivik-Hrivik/Lindberg

Of course, if there is a house cleaning...this all goes out the door. But if we keep most peeps, this is what I see.

 

[Ori]

Yeah a good point - Moore is 36 now even though he looks younger! ))

 

[Beacon]

Moore will be 36 years old before the next season starts. There's no way he should get $1.5 again. I loved him as a player all these years, but it gets awfully dangerous to bury so much salary on a guy whose legs can give out any day. If Moore wants to accept a contract for about $900 that we can bury in the AHL in case he goes Ryan Malone on us, then I think we should bring him back.

Hrivik should play in the NHL next year, let him and Moore rotate in and out, which would keep Moore fresh while easing Hrivik slowly into the NHL.

Hopefully Butcher makes the NHL, but his mediocre performance for SKA (11 points in 32 games, coaches didn't trust him with a top-6 role) doesn't leave me hopeful that he can make an immediate jump. Since the NHL is a clearly superior league to the KHL, one would think that you'd need to be a top-6 player in the KHL to be able to hold your own in the NHL. Probably would need to sign Stalberg or a similar player in case Butcher can't hack it.

Moore is done. Go with a kid.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Moore has been pretty meh all season. He is definitely done. Before this year he was an effective 4th liner, I can't say the same anymore.

this is an old team...hes an actual expiring contract that can help us get a kid into the lineup. do it.

 

[Ori]

I feel our 4th line was a downgrade when they took out Oscar Lindberg - why don`t they use him instead of Glass?

rangers fans have been asking that question, in different iterations, since the moment Glass got here.

First it was Stempniak, now its Lindberg.

Next year it'll probably be Buchnevich.

 

[The Mouth]

Sayonara Moore. Thanks for your service, time for youth.

If AV still coaching this team the rotation will be Moore - 78 game, Hrivik - 4.

Bye to Moore, waive Glass (yea right), give Hrivik and Jensen the contract Lindberg got 2 years 650k per on a 1 way deal so they get paid the same salary even if they go to Hartford and it doesn't cost the Rangers a dime if they have to send them to Hartford on the cap.

 

[nyrage]

Moore had an underwhelming regular season, but you hoped that he would turn it up a notch in the playoffs like he has always done. He's not getting it done. Need some new blood in there next season.

 

[Kovalev27]

He's been awful all year from the pk to the dumb penalties he just is 36 and looking it. Replace him with lindberg next year thank him for his service.

 

[Kovalev27]

I expect a 4th line next year of:

Glass Lindberg Hrivik

 

[Irishguy42]

I don't think Moore is coming back next season.

Love ya' Moore, but that's 1.5M we could use on our younger guys. Lindberg can replace him.

 

[The Gloaming]

I really like Moore and would be sad to see him go. But yeah, he's lost a step and probably won't be very effective next season. Then again, no one looks good next to Tanner Glass.

 

[Crazyalbo]

moore at this point is just a skating spinorama

every time.

 

[pld459666]

put a fork in him

 

[darko]

I don't think he's been as bad as some are saying. Plus he's had to carry Glass all season. However 1.5 mill or thereabouts is a lot plus we have Lindberg and Hrivik so goodbye Dom and thanks for everything. He's been a good player for us.

 

[MacTruck27]

I wonder if we keep him around to motivate lindberg. Plus the only guaranteed 4th line spot next year is Glass's.

 

[East Coast Bias]

If sitting and watching Glass play over you doesn't motivate Lindberg, nothing will.

Also - why does Lindberg need a motivation partner again?

 

[offdacrossbar]

dom moore will not return. he's been a good player, time to move on.

weve got hrivik and lindberg who both are capable and less expensive.

use that 1.5 elsewhere.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind having Dom back on a super cheap deal. I think some combo/rotation of Moore/Lindberg/Hrivik/Fast/Jensen would serve as a very capable 4th line

 

[MacTruck27]

I don't think he does need s motivation partner. But AV obviously thinks lindberg needs something...
