Waived: Jarret Stoll (Claimed by MIN)

[gorangers0525]

Stoll has had more good games while playing like **** than Glass has had in his career.

The people that are upset about this are the ones who have absolutely no grasp of how to evaluate a hockey player. Thinking Stoll has been anything other than crappy is just letting your bias show. Let's please get over the "gritty, savvy veteran" syndrome.

Tanner Glass has been better than Stoll in his games this year, and it's not difficult to see that. We also have a plethora of dudes who can take a face off.

who we trading what kind moves we making.

Absolutely - I watch Stoll out there and I can't help but think I'm a faster skater than him.

Obviously I'm not, but he sticks out on this team and not in a good way.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Stoll AND Glass have to go. I think the Rangers can run a decent 4th line without them when the team is healthy.

 

[Brooklyn Ranger]

Odd in that our #1 C is injured and not coming back for another month and we waive a C?

Am i just reading too much into this????

You're forgetting that Lindberg has looked very comfortable at center--been pretty solid on draws too--while fitting in fine on the wing. I think AV is sold on him as depth at center if needed.

Also, while Moore didn't play poorly on the wing, the forth line looks better with him at center. And Stoll was molasses slow--only thing he did well was win draws and couldn't play wing period. Glass looked better than him on the wing (which isn't saying much but made this decision much easier...).

I don't want either of them . I'd rather dress seven defenseman tbh

 

[Waivers]

Stoll is half baked out there, and Glass can out wheel him. Not much of a better alternative, but a case nonetheless.

Nash-Brass-MZA
Kreider-Stepan-Miller
Lindberg-Hayes-Stalberg
Glass-Moore-Fast
Etem

Hopefully Butcher comes over from the KHL, so it becomes:
Nash-Brass-MZA
Kreider-Stepan-Miller
Lindberg-Hayes-Butcher
Stalberg-Moore-Fast
Etem/Glass

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I think we will be making a trade or 2. A package for an offensive upgrade.

What are the chances that Buch comes over this season?

The ironic part is that Stoll was key in grooming the guy who would ultimately make him a redundant piece. There were a number of quotes early in the year about how Stoll was mentoring Lindberg.

 

[BBKers]

I think he might clear
We will know in 49 minutes

Would like to see:

Nash - Brass - Zucc
Kreider - Stepan - Trade (Miller)
Lindberg - Hayes - Chiasson
Stalberg - Moore - Fast
Stoll + Butch

Miller plus Glass dealt for a rental at the deadline
Etem plus for Chiasson

Doubt we get to see this though

Definitely not opposed to that.

i'm more interested in finding a decent 2nd line first

Happy for Stoll. He gets to play or at least be a #13 in the NHL. For the Rangers, we'll get a look at more youth if a member of the O goes down. Likely Megna,which I'm fine with.

 

[Trxjw]

So we're at, what, 46 contracts now?

 

[Vitto79]

I guess it doesnt matter too much but why would they waive a guy who's good at faceoffs? Of course someone claimed him he's cheap.

Glass still on the team is ridiculious

 

[Don Jaroodi*]

and this one will last a lifetime

He actually wasn't much of an upgrade on faceoffs. He was at .579 however he was taking them instead of Dominic Moore whose been .545 the last two years anyway. It's not like he was taking faceoffs instead of Hayes or Stepan. He was taking a small amount of 4th line/PK faceoffs (Mostly when Moore wasn't out or Moore at wing) and replacing our best guy anyway.

That being said he's obviously a more versatile/important piece than Glass. Hopefully this is a precursor to getting rid of both of them. Stolls 800k is gone to MIN. Glass can have 925k buried. That's 1.7M extra we can use to add someone who might be more of an asset.

They waived him because:

• Moore is a better center
• Stoll sucked on wing
• [insert off-ice situation we don't know about here]
• We don't need immense help in the FO dept. Brassard, Lindberg, and Moore have us covered. In fact, Stoll was taking faceoffs instead of Moore for the most part. Not Hayes/Stepan.
• He took a lot of needless, dumb penalties. About the same as Glass did last year in the same GP, I would reckon.
• Overall, he hasn't been great, and Glass has been outplaying him.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Well, i'm a bit disappointed because he is the player you want on the team come the playoffs.

Glass strikes again.
