The new Glass

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Don't have a problem with it, I feel like there's always a ton of fighting in preseason?

 

[Irishguy42]

Will be a good energy/competition guy for preseason. Extremely nice guy off the ice. That's about it. Don't see him lasting long enough to make it either here or Hartford. Will be good to have around the young guys though.

Remember last season when a good chunk of us thought we were going to sign Lapierre?

Good times.

Yep, the energy/competition thing hit the nail on the head. You also need warm bodies for some of the preseason games.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

As long as he doesn't get signed to an NHL contract then whatever.

AV's new rattle

 

[Irishguy42]

AV gets a play-toy for preseason, just like last year.

Won't be on roster opening night.

Too many forwards to beat out for the final spot, and Gorton is moving to get younger and more skilled.

Notice that it's a PTO.

Yeah, right now, I'm leaning more towards this being Lapierre than Glass.

AV will give him top 9 minutes for three games and be the happiest man in the world, and then Gorton will step in and be like "ok Alain, time to put your binky down and let the pros play."

Hopefully.

 

[Irishguy42]

At least the preseason games vs the Devils have the potential to be more amusing, especially if he scores

Pens fan just dropping by with my two cents:

Farnham is a really entertaining player to watch, he's always up to something. He's an agitator not an enforcer or anything like that. He'll fight anyone but he's awful at it.

He surprisingly doesn't take too many stupid penalties, the suspension he got against St Louis was the exception not the rule.

He plays much bigger than his size and is actually a really good skater. He won't give you much offensively, despite getting lots of chances due to his speed. He'll draw his fair share of penalties though.

I doubt he makes the Rangers, but he's a good guy to have in the AHL. He's a good locker room guy that will run through walls for the team and do a ton of work in the community.

Ryan Hollweg 2.0

Wolf Pack is all about doing community stuff. I see it constantly.

 

[E-Train]

No problem with him being on the Pack. Just keep him out of NY.

 

[Raspewtin]

Garbage player. Hopefully just Lapierre 2.0

 

[Booba]

Aside from Vesey, Buchnevich and the 10 forwards on one-way deals which forward(s) is/are expected to make the Rangers' opening roster?

 

[Bob Richards]

The new Glass

Maybe in role but never in my heart.

Fast will be on IR

from today's under-contract list:
Lias, Boo and one of Carey/Schneider
unless a young guy
(Tambo, Gropp, Chityl, Kovacs, Getts, Fontaine)
earns the last spot

 

[Irishguy42]

Could Farnham backhand snipe like this?

I don't think so. No one can replace that beaut.

Weren't Schneider and Carey acquired to address Hartford's scoring woes?

Farnham seems like a decent candidate for a 13th-14th forward spot while the kids are playing large roles in Hartford.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I always thought Glass was more of a butt itch than in your heart.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

If Fast is on IR

Kreids-Ziba-Buch
Miller-Andersson-Zucc
Vesey-Hayes-Miller
Grabner-Desharnais-Nieves
?

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Andersson being the 2C is as likely as John Tavares signing with the Buffalo Sabres.

 

[eco's bones]

Apart from agitation I don't see much of a role for Farnham on the Rangers. He'd be okay in Hartford probably. He's like Avery only with 20% of Sean's skill. Not sure I'd give him more than an AHL contract. IMO Glass is the better player and a lot better fighter.

On his fighting ability--Farnham will fight practically anybody. He can't handle anyone above 6'1. A tough guy but in no way an enforcer even.
