Waived: Tanner Glass (Cleared)

[Inferno]

The line for the next NYR scapegoat forms behind Dan Girardi.

id say dan boyle...and thus far this season, its much deserved.

This clearly has Gorton written all over it, AV loves loves LOVES this wounded puppy who cuddles up to him at home but is useless at the office. AV's quote was "for salary cap considerations" so there's always a chance he can convince Gorton to call him up if there's an injury or some sort of roster change. Gotta find a way to get him on someone else's NHL/AHL roster permanently

Bull. Tanner Glass was either the 13th or 14th forward on the depth chart to begin with. That's not from Gorton. That's by AVs own lineups.

AV already confirmed he will be back at some point.

Keep in mind Glass had to be waived because of the cap issue, not because you think he sucks. The risk of losing him was close to zero anyway, most teams don't have room for his contract right now.

Which speaks to the absurdity of his contract in the first place.

I count at least 21 teams with at least 1.45 million in cap space (and his actual hit would be less than that, right? pro-rated?).

He cleared because he's bad and nobody wants him.

He'd be first in line if he wasn't out of position all the time.

Those who do have some cap space may have other plans than picking up a 4th liner with 2yrs/3M left on his contract..

Btw, how many players have actually been claimed this year? Looks like they all clear.

And what about the teams with 10 million? If Glass does what people say he does (protect/deter/etc.), wouldn't those teams, many of whom have numerous young players, want such a fellow?

There's a reason for that. Players who go on waivers are usually bad players. Go figure.

I didn't know Stalberg was bad.

 

[hi]

This can only mean one thing. The 2nd worst Ranger must continue what Tanner started

 

[Moon Knight]

Bull back to your bull, there's no way this came from AV. Gorton was the guy who finally forced him out. AV doesn't care about the depth charts when it comes to Glass, he only cares about "adding toughness and locker room presence"

If AV only cared about adding toughness than McIlrath would be playing over Boyle every game. Complete bull statement to make.

And why do people keep calling Glass tough? He just seems like an undersized player who sucks at everything and pushes a player or two after the whistle blows.

Don't tell me this.

Goat - If you're referring to the Presser on BSU, that's not what AV said. AV said: "We'll see how things unfold moving forward". That's all, nothing more. If you heard or read otherwise, please provide a link definitively stating that Glass is in the Rangers' future NHL plans.

This is not to say that we will never see Glass play in NY again. If Emerson disappoints immensely or we have injuries, I'm sure Glass could return. But that's a far cry from absolute confirmation that Glass will be back in NY.

Glass will be a very good AHLer. To say that he'd score only 30-40 points in the ECHL is nuts. Michael Kantor is scoring at a point per game pace in the ECHL and he can't even notch his first AHL point. Glass would be a superstar in the ECHL if he went down there.

As someone who follows Hartford, I'm pretty excited to see him there. He'll be a key power forward for the Pack. I think he'll help Hartford a lot if he plays there.

25 points in 91 career NHL games...still a 4th liner in the AHL.

that was earlier in his career though, he hasn't played an AHL game since 2009 which is pretty remarkable considering his abilities

More so the role he would have there but certainly also based on his actual abilities, he wouldn't score 40 points IMO, you'd have to relegate him down one more level to the ECHL for that production

Had an assist last night...

Also, this: "Hartford Wolf Pack ‏@WolfPackAHL 16h16 hours ago
Tanner Glass with a great clearing play as the Pack kill off the penalty still tied at 1 #HFDvsHER"

I think it says something good about Tanners character when he goes down to the AHL after such a long time in the NHL without public complaining, and makes a good effort down there.

Even he himself had to know he was the hippopotamus in the room
