GDT: 2016 NHL Draft: Part 2

[Ail]

What's the deal with this Kovalchuk stuff?

Nothing really, someone here posted how Dancing Larry's buddy talked to him in Florida and he said he wants to come to the NHL, and only play in NY.

NO THANK YOU

He goes back to the OHL. He can't play in the AHL until he is 19. The rule is age 20, or 4 years. He has played 3 years in the CHL.

And it's not like he dominated the OHL last season, anyways.

Question for a mod,

why not go back to the roster speculation thread? The draft is over.

I second this. Lets go back to a regular offseason thread.

Ok, he'd like to. And that was just one example. Dumba is reportedly available, then there's the obvious in Shattenkirk.

This team is far from being done. And the defense is far from being set. There are a million ways that pieces can fall which make this a great off-season for them. Again, I'm not optimistic as this is the Rangers we're talking about, but I'm also not going to start acting like it's the end of the world when we still have 3+ months till the season begins.

Agreed..There's plenty of time to make moves.

People are acting like we have a set defense, are you kidding me?

If our D next season is

McD - Shattenkirk/Barrie/Klein
Skjei - Dumba / Klein
Holden - McIlrath

That's really not bad at all and has a lot of youth and skill.

If you dislike Girardi and Staal, you're gonna really hate Holden especially if he plays over McIllrath

I don't think he'd play over McI, lefty...

And i much prefer Holden over Staal and Girardi. Especially when considering term and cap hit.

Joey Bones,

When I saw "Sean Day" pop up as the Rangers pick, I got the same feeling I had last year when Brad Morrison's name showed up. It is nice to see your team pick a player you mentioned yourself and linked to a possible pick.

I think that opinion is going to be short lived after you see him play IMO

Whats in a name?

The cap space difference begs to differ regardless of his play

I rather have Holden for 1.6m than Staal for 5.7m

Since there was a demand for going back to off season thread here it is...
