Post-Game Talk: Calgary Flames at New York Rangers - February 9

[egelband]

Youth movement pls

I’d like them to let the kids play. Move some vets. And still win. Maybe I’m being greedy

I’d much rather watch Gilmour, Pionk and ADA grow at this level than watch Smith, Holden and Kampfer

 

[Tob]

I wonder what we can get for Holden....

Yes. Though I do assume Smith gets another shot next year and I hope he’s really hungry.

Well, if Buch, Kreider and I guess Vesey come back healthy, who the **** knows what happens with this team.

It might be too late by then or too many teams in the mix but have no doubt with those forwards back and healthy they are a 4/5 wildcard team. Jackets are crumbling somehow. Islanders give up 6 plus goals a game and still on the fence about the Canes.

True unfortunately with 7 min left and up 5-2 red wings lose to islanders 7-6 lol

Geezus

 

[bl02]

I wonder what we can get for Holden....

a 4th... probably a 5th

 

[Tob]

a 4th... probably a 5th

Dreger said something like "and don't underestimate the interest in Nick Holden"

My regular estimate is also a 4th or 5th. Maybe that's an underestimation....

 

[Ori]

Yeah, Pionk played a great game. so many positive signs after this game - and we did not look that we missed any of the players injured!
But it will be great to get both Ryan Mc. & Kreider back into the lineup!

I had to vote on Zucc, Nash & Henrik, because that was the turning point of the game when Zucc won that board battle got it too Holden, and Nash sniped in behind their goalie!

But there are many who had a good game like Pionk, Skjei, Gilmour, Holden, Miller, Hayes, and Zib.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I didn't see the game what an amazing goal that game winner was. JT Miller and Zibanejad were great on it.

P.S. Does anyone still need to look up Zibby's name when posting? I can never remember where As and Es go.

 

[bl02]

i still want to tank for Dahlin tho just saying.

Even if we wanted to there are many more garbage teams then us.I can name 7/8 off the top of my head

 

[will1066]

I wonder what we can get for Holden....

What the hell was he doing on the Lazar goal, looking up imagining his number in the rafters

 

[NYR Viper]

a 4th... probably a 5th

The Rangers traded a 4th for Holden and for all the shit the guy gets, for really no reason, he has been a very solid addition to the overall defense. I’d expect no less than a 3rd but I’d hope for a 3rd + 4th or something like that. Either way what an underrated move by Gorton.

Well you may have a point if Jack Johnson reportedly might return a first. Maybe Holden is worth that 3rd. I just can't imagine him being worth a 2nd or decent prospect

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This isn't the NFL I can't root for them to lose 30 straight games, nor will they lose 30 straight games. I appreciate fans rooting for a tank, but I think I draw the line with the last 11 games of a 16 game NFL schedule where the team starts 0-5.

 

[egelband]

a 4th... probably a 5th

I think he has a little more value. He doesn’t do anything particularly well. But he’s solid all around. At least, I think that he can be sold that way. Rather than draft picks I think the rangers would be better served finding a good player who for whatever reason can’t get a shot elsewhere. They’re out there I’m sure.

I just type Mika

It's like when Staal went down during 2012 and McDonagh came up and became the captain a few seasons later.

A lot of times veterans have senority to NHL roster spots and it takes a serendipidous opening for the young players to deservingly receive the baton.

Lots of high hope for Pionk and Gilmour. Both have a lot of upside if they continue to develop!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Eh 7/8 is a stretch.

This was a win against a team playing on the tail end of back to backs and their 3rd in 4 nights. They've got a pretty tough road trip coming up where they'll remind us why they're going to be selling.

All this win did was save this team from a losing streak that would have possibly pushed into double digits.

 

[Ori]

yeah Holden has been playing solid this season, one of his best season as a Ranger for sure. He had a B letter from me half way of the season.

Not saying you're off base but no way Holden brings back two picks.
He's been very serviceable especially at his salary and he has some nice physical tools but some of the gaffes he makes IDK.
Hey hope you're right but i see maybe a 4th rounder coming back. I would take that

 

[Richard Banger]

Great game but let's see what happens after the adrenaline game wears off.

Fair enough but i've watched enough of the bottom atlantic teams to know they are garbage. Thats 5 teams right there. Maybe the Panthers have a little hope in passing us by

 

[Ori]

If we get Ryan Mc. back for sunday game - we might have a chance if the team continue to play like this.
