Claimed off Waivers: [NYR] Rangers claim F Jake Leschyshyn off waivers from the Golden Knights

[RangersFan1994]

Has to be better than Blais and Brodzinski

 

[Roo Returns]

NYR been exceptionally healthy recent seasons, compared to many (see Caps, Avs, this season)

and NYR AHL affiliate lacks F depth (4 Fs currently hurt) only collecting points recently, no obvious callup guys either, glad they left 'Pack alone, for now

no downside here, can re-waive at any day

Not to go full contrarian because we see each other on the Rangers board but I'd say they've been fortunate with no serious injuries, yet only ok otherwise. There were a lot of games the Covid season and last year they had the Greg McKeggs, Phil Diguiseppes and Dryden Hunts of the world in their lineup all at the same time due to injuries.

Even in the playoffs at least three guys on their team were playing with lower body injuries that were anchors.

Plan the parade. I've literally never seen such a bad card.

 

[Idlerlee]

Sport broadcasters about to unionize to get this guy thrown out of the league.

I don't generally put much faith in these cards...but lol. How do you even?


That looks like the scores of someone who literally just forgot to step off the bench for a bunch of shifts.

We've had some fortunate luck in the regular season when it comes to injuries. Playoffs, I mean everybody plays through injuries, but during our run it did seem that whenever we got to playoffs, half the team was skating on 1 leg.

all true
really looking at teams which have lost many many man-games to injuries, and needing deep deep bench just to dress 12 and 6

 

[Reality Czech]

No harm. Glass half empty view. Just waive him if he’s not helping after like 10 games

Looks like they will have to make some Leschyshyn decisions in the near future.

 

[Night Shift]

Didn't realize Curtis Leschyshyn had a son playing in the NHL, very cool. Good defenseman back in the day.

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

O goals
0 assists
0 points

22 games this year

“This guy is a zero”……. Minus 7 plus/ minus

NYR …… paid $56250 in waiver fees plus travel costs to get him to NY from Vegas to eat popcorn in the press Box!

 

[TurgPavs]

Besides Hague, is there a single player drafted by Vegas that has played a full season for the Golden Knights?

I haven't seen this much recklessness with draft picks / prospects since the Blues in the early 1990's

 

[gritdash60]

All i know is you guys should hear me trying to pronounce that name.

And Rangers fans thought they cant draft well. That is a bit concerning

Doesn't help that they immediately went into win-now mode.

People shitting on a player who know nothing about him
and flashing some joke advanced stats...

Good two-way center with solid offensive upside, good at face-offs.
Rangers got a good bottom 6 center, if they choose to use him.

Young player who just needs confidence.

I like this move as a Rangers fan. He is only 23. i like the upside here.

 

[CupInSIX]

It would be nice if Vegas can have a 4th line that costs less than 5.8M next season. Hopefully they can pick him back off waivers by next season.

I think he can be an effective 4C.

Who is worse. Jake or Shawn Chambers from NHLPA 93. Because his player card reminds me of chambers stats.

And for those who are to young. Here is the background.

Video Games Of Old: Who Was The Worst Athlete Of All Time?

In real life, the athletes we call 'bad athletes' are actually the just the least skilled of an elite group. But in the world of video games, bad athletes were irredeemable joyless lumps. Here, we take a look at some of the very worst.

Calm down Jake.

It’s cause they stacked picks from the draft then traded them all

Suzuki , Glass, Braanstrom etc
