he is too important to the future to promote him based on being 'less crappy' then the contracts you are waiting to expire cause you can't get rid of them yet. if he's ready and forces his way into the picture, great. but if he needs time in hartford he should get it even if our left side is bad.

i didn’t say less crappy lol
I am saying deserving of a spot ahead of others. And imo he will prove that.
but my point is that deserving a spot ahead of others because those guys suck isn't the same as being ready for the nhl. its not like you have him beating out allstars here
I don’t think he’s all star level so no I don’t expect him to beat out all stars.
I said it’s going to be very tough to hold him back if his competition is those guys and that’s how it works at the end of the day. If he’s better, and I think he will be, he’ll make the team.
deserving a spot because you’re the best top 6 guy in the organization avail means you deserve the spot

Unless there is an injury, I think the chances of Trouba-DeAngelo on the ice together are close to nil. On the other hand, I think your idea of ADA-Fox and Lindgren-Trouba definitely could happen, at least intermittently. Quinn paired up Tony and Fox several times when the Rangers needed a goal or when they had an offensive zone face off late in a period. Trouba-Lindgren makes a lot of sense if they are protecting a lead late. I do however think these are exceptions rather than the norm. You can’t shorten your bench too much in a 5 games in 8 days series.
If your intention is to be a team that can win it all next year, Miller should spend the season in the A unless he forces the issue. Theres nothing wrong with sheltering him on a 3rd pair at the NHL level, but he has to earn that to begin with and by that I mean playing 15-17 minutes on most nights, not 8-12 (if thats the case, let him get his minutes in the A.)
OTOH, if you intention is to be a team that can win it all next year, you can't shoe horn #18 into the lineup either. I'm 100% against pushing Miller into the lineup, but I'm also 100% confident that he would outperform Staal right now, let alone next season.

Then he goes and plays overseas.
Switzerland, Sweden and Russia have solid pro leagues.

Yeah, I'm totally opposed to him in the NHL next season. I think the expectations are for him are slowly creeping into the realm of ridiculous in some cases. I saw someone on Twitter call him the 3rd or 4th best d-man in camp, I guess suggesting that he could be better than both Lindgren and Trouba right now. I'm glad that he's looked good in a few video clips from post-quarantine camp, but this is still a defenseman that didn't thrive in college hockey or the World Juniors this year. Let him get there slowly.

Love the pads. Absolutely love them. Brian’s usually has the coolest designs. Honorable mention to the old arch Kohos.
I’ve always been a Koho/Reebok/CCM guy myself but have to say these pads are sharp and the helmet is fire.

It might turn out hes also ready. Or he may be ready for a cup of coffee or two next season. Different matchups, different minutes. We'll see

Miller needs to go where hes playing top 4 minutes while continuing to learn his position and improve his own zone coverage.I highly doubt that will be with the big club anytime soon.Sheltered 3rd pairing minutes would be the worst thing for his development

Just looks like a design that you could get in a gift shop near MSG haha.
To each their own though. I'm sure it won't impact his S% by more than 5-10%.

NBCSN is doing an Eastern Conference preview. They just talked about Rangers-Carolina and both Brian Burke and Keith Jones think the Rangers will win.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad, though.

You don't know if it's a good sign for their chances of winning that Burke and Jones like the Rangers, or you don't know if it's good if the Rangers win?

The former, though it could end up being the latter, I suppose. Hopefully if we win, Carolina doesn't get the #1 pick.
