GDT: Game # 52 - 2/10/23 - New York Rangers vs Seattle Kraken - 7pm EST, MSG, NHLN

Krav is going to get a shot, but I'd have to guess that Vesey will be elevated to that line at some point, especially if it is late and close.

This is the best lineup they've run all season. Just need one more winger and the roster is set.

 

[tlk]

there is less for us all to complain about, but GG finds a way

Does he need to tho?

Also possible that this is a Kravtsov showcase.

Absolutely -- Drury has two weeks to come up with some kind of deal....this is definitely a chance to up his trade value.

 

[Kocur26]

Kreider has not scored a PPG since November 13th.

Make no mistake Tarasenko is here to take his minutes .

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He's on the second unit still.

Going off of this.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Going off of this.

ohh



Mollie reported different but she's probably wrong.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Panarin Zib Taransenko

mmmmmmchild

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

ohh



Mollie reported different but she's probably wrong.

Vince said the same but it's entirely possible that both Trouba and Miller worked in.

Got excited over probably nothing, wompppppp.

 

[LeetchisGod]

These PP units daaaaaang

Miller should replace Trouba but I like everything else.

 

[n8]

Gallant's one fumble.

 

[Circus86]

Kraken lost to both NYI and NJ. Legitimately, my biggest concern is that I can't see them losing all three games on this trip.

They can and they will

Also possible that this is a Kravtsov showcase.

Honestly, I think Leshitshow forced Gallant's hand here and this was the only (and honestly way better) option.

ALSO TROUBA OFF OF THE PP?!??! WHAT WORLD IS THIS?!?

It's Kravtsov's final audition. If he can nail a spot on this team, Kreider-Tro are pretty good players to build a career with. Getting away from Panarin will also let him be the play driver so there is a real opportunity here. I think Kredier and Tro are great compliments for his game. They will both open up a lot of ice for him and can finish on his dishes. Tro is capable of setting Krav up to use his shot.

The flip side is yes, Krav flubs the audition but does enough to generate trade value. In that scenario, he is ideally able to flip for a 3RW replacement. Goodie or Himmy as 3RW is less ideal and hurts the 4th line.

 

[Cmox]

Ive never seen Rangers’ fan twitter this happy. Hell has frozen I suppose?

 

[mas0764]

Good news. That's how I'd do it too.

*except call up Rydahl

Kravtsov isn't all world but he gives a look on that line that it needs. The possibility of a little skill, at least. Vesey is a good player but with him there the line is too grind-y.

 

[Leonardo87]

Hey Fellas,

Lines have been updated for both teams.

As per the New Rangers lines……

 

[mas0764]

Igor in for tonight. Hmm thought it would be the other way around. Halak vs Carolina tomorrow could be rough.

Damn, every time I go to a game in Carolina I see the backup.

 

[will1066]

Gallant's one fumble.

Just like life will find a way...

 

[mas0764]

A soon as the trade went down I knew I had to find a way to get in the building. Mission accomplished, should be a good one.

I'm going to Carolina on Saturday!

I agree it's his "final audition". However, I do believe he's a goner no matter what he does.

I’m going to Carolina too…

In my mind

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I think this could be a showcase for Kravtsov. 10 games before the deadline.

Igor in for tonight. Hmm thought it would be the other way around. Halak vs Carolina tomorrow could be rough.

I think there is a very real chance that Igor goes back to back. He did it earlier this year October 29 and 30. 2 wins.

Gallant comments postgame on October 30: “Great,” Gallant said of what he saw from Shesterkin on the second consecutive night. “Might do it again someday.”

a little shocked but hope he plays both nights
