Waived: Marek Hrivik

[Bluenote13]

Waive Lindberg who does nothing but take up space.

Do you really think that??

 

[FLYLine27*]

Do you really think that??

He would prefer to waive Hayes before Hrivik.

 

[Machinehead]

Do you really think that??

He's not good at anything.

Terrible shot and chance generator, terrible shot and chance suppressor, doesn't play PP, doesn't kill penalties, sucks along the boards, 18 points in his last 70 NHL games.

Lindberg is one of the more useless players in the league.

At least Hrivik is good defensively and great along the boards.

 

[Raspewtin]

he's like the perfect 13th forward

hope he's not claimed.

 

[nyr2k2]

I assume he's gone after the year anyway so losing him is no big deal, but I'm hoping he makes it down to Hartford where they could really use the help.

 

[pld459666]

He will clear

Dime a dozen

 

[Vitto79]

He will clear

Dime a dozen

Agreed. Simply didn't put up enough points to have any teams claim him . He's a reliable player just not a standout

 

[Roo Returns]

If he clears which he should, ideally he's the perfect 13th forward for next season. Low cost, good possession numbers, hard worker, PKs.

 

[Kovalev27]

Shocker lol

I'm not even a big fan of Pirri but I would rather have him back for cheap as 13th. Hrivik brings nothing to the table offensively, but he's a capable 4th liner good to be a 14/15th forward call up. Nothing more imo.

I just don't see Pirri coming back unless he has a monster post All Star Break. To qualify him will be 1.21 million and I don't know if they'll want to spend the money.

 

[pld459666]

Next year Nieves will surpass Marek on the depth chart.

This was his opportunity to show he belongs and not bringing any sort of unique skill set to the table was his undoing.

The AHL is full of guys like this.

Indeed. Like you said, dime a dozen player.

 

[eco's bones]

Hopefully he isn't claimed but the obvious player to go down and no he's not better than Lindberg.

 

[trilobyte]

This move is understandable, but don't pretend he did not give the Rangers what was needed when he was called up.
I agree about keeping players that have a higher upside. I see the logic.

Lol, what? It's only Lindberg's 2nd season, and was injured to start this season off. He's been playing much better recently.

Hrivik is not better than Lindberg.

i am no expert, but i agree. i think lindberg is just now rounding into form after a serious injury and surgery. i think he deserves more time. nothing against hrivik, who i really like too.

 

[haohmaru]

Hrivik cleared

 

[Kovalev27]

ANother shocker. He cleared. Lol


Lindberg should be at best our 13th right now. He'd be my 14th after Puempel returns

But there's no way he should be playing over Pirri

 

[Hire Sather]

Guy who had the best chance to clear was the one who should've went down and did.

He's probably been better than Lindberg but its all about keeping as many players as possible.

Do we have to waive another guy when everyone is ready?

 

[rangerrat]

Waive Lindberg who does nothing but take up space.

Linberg doesnt do much, but this sack of hammers just floats up and around the ice, CYAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[nyr2k2]

Good news for Hartford.

 

[eco's bones]

Lindberg's a better all around player than either Pirri or Puempel IMO. OTOH--back to the PwP with Zibanejad and his right shot and Pirri with his left shot and maybe the PwP really starts going again. Basically Lindberg, Puempel and Pirri are all very good depth players whether they're 12, 13 or 14 and I'd prefer them all to Hrivik who is pretty good--just not as good as the other three.

I doubt they're going to carry 14 healthy forwards when Puempel is ready to go but maybe they do? I don't know. I'd personally waive Puempel when they're all healthy but we shall see.

 

[Kovalev27]

I guarantee you if we ever waived Lindberg he'd pass no problem
