Haula or Granlund

 

[NYR Viper]

What are everyone's thoughts on Duclair for a season?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

What are everyone's thoughts on Duclair for a season?

Didn’t he turn down an offer from us last year?

don’t see him ever coming back tbh

 

[Thirty One]

What are everyone's thoughts on Duclair for a season?

Think if the Rangers add a veteran winger, it's going to be one whose habits they want the young kids imitating.

 

[EdJovanovski]

A lot of sites including NHL.com writers are saying K'Andre Miller is likely making the team this year, what do you guys think? This guy has only been playing D for a few years, I highly doubt he gets a look

 

[Thirty One]

That's going to be a no from me, dawg.

 

[LokiDog]

Soderberg or Haula (better defensive games than Granlund). Maybe a real cheap Grabner. That’s it.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Miller is “likely” to make the team because we have 1 capable NHL LD on the roster

He probably shouldn’t make the team but I wouldn’t be surprised if he does.

In an ideal world you leave him in Hartford for the year and don’t even think about calling him up

 

[duhmetreE]

We all knew it when JD was gushing all over him.

It's Miller or Johnson? no?

It will be Trial by Fire. Miller ADA can be exciting but a potential defensive nightmare. IMO it can't be that much worse than it has been over the past 2 years. Miller Trouba makes the most sense stylistically.

I feel like the pairings will be Johnson-DeAngelo, Miller-Trouba, Lindgren-Fox. If Miller made the team

 

[Kords]

Wouldn't surprise me. Especially if teams are allowed to carry more players given the circumstances, so if that is the case I can see Miller with the team. Doesn't mean much, but according to Lafreniere he and K'Andre are living together at a billet in NY currently.

 

[NYR Viper]

I still think they begin the season with Hajek and Reunanen on the team. Both guys have more professional experience and I don't think they want Miller playing a few games and then sitting, whereas the other two I think they would be less concerned.

 

[duhmetreE]

I feel like the pairings will be Johnson-DeAngelo, Miller-Trouba, Lindgren-Fox. If Miller made the team

Unless I missed something, wouldn't Smith be playing over Johnson?

Who knows.... Maybe Johnson can go the Smith route and play on the 4th line and PK

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

What do you think Laf and K'Andre talk about at night?

 

[Kords]

What do you think Laf and K'Andre talk about at night?

Whether or not Buch is a top 6 forward I bet.

 

[Thirty One]

What do you think Laf and K'Andre talk about at night?

Is Ryan Strome overpaid?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Unless I missed something, wouldn't Smith be playing over Johnson?

Who knows.... Maybe Johnson can go the Smith route and play on the 4th line and PK

I completely forgot about Smith lmao, swap those two then but I don’t really see Miller making it over either of them. Even if he outperforms them in camp, that D core is way too inexperienced

 

[archanfelnsx]

Is Ryan Strome overpaid?

I think he’s paid about right.

You gotta <3 JMFJ twice, NO???
It actually stated this foolish error on Cap Friendly when I used their full NYR roster summary from the STATS function. Thanx. Corrected now...

 

[Fitzy]

A little surprised Soderberg hasnt found a home yet, but I'm hesitant to block Chytil's potential development.

 

[NYR94]

Sign Greene and Chara to shore up the left side.

 

[kovazub94]

Seeing SKA Rangers jersey gives me a chuckle every time.
