Your opinion is highly valued...at least by me.

Ditto

Go for it. Not much else going on. I'm okay with criticism.

hahah not a chance, you're a good poster, even if I disagree with you sometimes.

lol you really could have gone for it. I would not have minded. Sometimes we need to hear criticism to improve. Thanks for the compliment. I'm having a debate with myself whether being a forum poster is a healthy thing for me to do anymore after like 16 years of it.

I hear you there. After 15+ years of posting on various forums, much more elsewhere than here, I've become mainly a reader.

Always felt a need to chime in before but that's faded rapidly over the last two or so years. I just read and kind of shake my head at certain posts and move on, haha.

I'd rather say I inhale rapidly!

That may be a good way to go.

That is me to a "T" been on a lot of Rangers forums, even the original "official" forum that was on the Rangers web site.
I found that posting seemed to end up with more aggravation that anything else, so i read now.

I've been more active the past year. I go through periods of inactivity. It really does depend on the people. There are times we tend to have an abundance of more aggressive personalities, and other times when things are a bit more calm.

You're always going to have the people who you'd love to give a good smack in the mouth.

too bad your 80 year old arms don't work anymore.

Let's get back on topic to Sean Day...

Arms are good. The back on the other hand...

Anyway, let's get back to Sean Day.

Big year for him coming up. Needs to work on his footwork. Curious to see how better conditioning helps him in that regard.

no, he doesn't need to work on his footwork. He needs to work on staying in position/not chasing, reading the play in both ends, using his size to his advantage, and caring about the game.

Seems to have got the caring part down if the reports are accurate in that he's dropped more body fat from the combine. I think he was almost at 15% and is now down to between 12% & 13%?

As big a man as he is, it becomes a tougher endeavor the leaner you get.

I would probably shift him to forward and see what that does for him. Skate him on the 4th line and implore him to use his massive frame.

Maybe get a Brian Boyle type of player out of him.

See now, personally, I saw some footwork issues --- in addition to what you mentioned. I think a lot of what you mentioned either played into some footwork issues (reading) and/or was the result of said challenge (being out of position and chasing).

I think he's a good skater, but he's not necessarily light on his feet. That's not so much of an issue when he has the puck, as his skills allow him to be a pretty slipper fellow. But when he's on defense, there were more than a few instances where his footwork put him in positions where he made it more difficult to adjust the approaching player and left him chasing.

The Rangers need another big speedy left winger............

Even being optimistic about Day he's probably a few years away. Who knows where Kreider will be in 4 years time.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Do we know if this is permanent?

 

[Crease]

I got absolutely murdered just for imagining a scenario where he doesn't pan out a NHL-caliber defenseman and gets switched to forward to salvage his NHL prospects

I'm rooting for the kid, though. He's got a lot of promise.

 

[Mikos87]

That's interesting. Reminds me a lot of current Ranger Chris Summers.

Summers probably would have been a good 4th line LW. He just doesn't work at defense.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Wonder if the Rangers are happy about that move or not

 

[Mac n Gs]

Wasn't he mostly playing on his off side on defense?

Sean Day being tried at LW. Not a terrible idea. Kinda played that way in his OHL Draft year...despite being a 'D'

Sean Day (2016 Third) was scoreless, a -1 on one shot as his Mississauga Steelheads lost to the Kitchener Rangers 3-1

 

[darko]

Not a fan of him playing LW at all.
