Deserved

Es no bueno for Kreider, but Lettieri has definitely earned this promotion. He should be a nice addition to the second powerplay unit too.

 

[NYR Viper]

Lettieri should get a look anyways. Better to take your time with Kreider

 

[Cheapshot]

Very happy with who they decided to call up. Now let's see what he can do with his opportunity, maybe he can make things difficult for Gorton and co.

Good on him. I liked his preseason. Good vision and hands.

Nash-Zib-Zucc
Grabs-Hayes-Miller
Carey-Nieves-Buch
Lettieri-DD-Vesey

 

[Roo Returns]

He'll probably get like 8 min a night and 4th line action the first few games, then maybe PK.

Fast will be back in like 5 games so hopefully he can have a Cally post Trade Deadline 07 impact and add a lot of energy, forecheck, and shoot first ask questions later to the 4th line.

FWIW, I believe Pronman was raving about Lettieri earlier on this season when he was watching Chytil. Kid's got some great wheels and shoots the puck like a machine.

 

[Vitto79]

Good to see this kid get a shot but whatevs up w Kreider ?

 

[Irishguy42]

76 SOG in 31 GP. T-32nd league wide, 2nd on the Wolf Pack, 6th among all rookies.

Good shot generator.

Good to see this kid get a shot but whatevs up w Kreider ?

We will find out at practice, per Hartnett

That will get coached out of his game real quick.

Play with this team long enough you will think pass first eventually. Pretty passing and finesse play is Rangerstown.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Good on him. I liked his preseason. Good vision and hands.

Nash-Zib-Zucc
Grabs-Hayes-Miller
Carey-Nieves-Buch
Lettieri-DD-Vesey

I would go with this:

Nash-Zib-Buch
Grabner-Miller-Zucc
Lettieri-Hayes-Nash
Carey-DD-Vesey

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Good for him

Hoping he plays well and sticks

 

[will1066]

I would go with this:

Nash-Zib-Buch
Grabner-Miller-Zucc
Lettieri-Hayes-Nash
Carey-DD-Vesey

Double shift Nash?

 

[Mandar]

must mean they trade Kreider for a defenseman....

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Double shift Nash?

Shit. I left out Nieves LOL

 

[will1066]

****. I left out Nieves LOL

Boooooooo

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Awesome!!! Gets to play in winter classic

 

[will1066]

Right handed shot. Can't underestimate that. Hope AV gives him a chance on the PP. He had a beautiful one timer from the right half boards in preseason.

Another Minnesota kid on the team. Can't underestimate that either.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hopefully AV uses Vinni on PP2, that unit is desperately lacking a RH shot.

Very easy, put Vinni in Vesey's spot.

PP1:

Nash-Zib-Zuke
Shatty-Buch

PP2:

Vinni-Hayes-Miller
Skjei-McDonagh

Although, who am I kidding, it will be DD and Vesey on PP2.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Awesome!!! Gets to play in winter classic

Now I might go with no 95 instead of 40 haha

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Well deserved. I'd say Chytil is a better option, but it doesn't make sense to promote him at this point.

I want Lettieri on the third line. Don't want him playing 10 minutes per game on the 4th. We need to see if he can be an NHL middle 6 forward.

I'd like to see something like this.

Zucc-Ziba-Buch
Nash-Miller-Desharnais
Grabner-Hayes-Lettieri
Vesey-Nieves-Carey

When Fast returns, he can take Carey's spot.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Right handed shot. Can't underestimate that. Hope AV gives him a chance on the PP. He had a beautiful one timer from the right half boards in preseason.

Another Minnesota kid on the team. Can't underestimate that either.

Our PP sucks right now, we gotta make some big changes to it. I think the first unit is generally okay, just not playing well. Nash can replace Kreider's spot, I wouldn't change the personnel though.

The second unit needs some changes. Lettieri should definitely be a left shot on the PP. Miller's gotta be on it, I think Desharnais should be on the unit. You need a defenseman, so McDonagh. And I also think Hayes could play a net front role on the PP. If we need another forward, Vesey. If we need another defenseman, Skjei.
