“@NYRangers: OFFICIAL: #NYR have recalled forward Jayson Megna (7-11--18 in 34GP in 15-16) from @WolfPackAHL.
Great our lord and savior Jayson Megna has been called up. All of our problems should be fixed now
If AV isn't going to consistently play Etem, they should just trade him. Give him to a team that will consistently use him somewhere.
Does he play over Etem, or Hayes?

Acting as if we are missing out on something if we dont play Etem. He has been a disappointment. This is the NHL, when you finally get called upon you better make it count. The guy has ZERO goals for all that "skill" people rave about. Zero. He follows up a decent performance against TBL, at least forechecking wise, with an absolutely atrocious one against Florida. Stop making excuses for the guy. We replaced Hagelin with a guy who cant kill penalties, is weak in his own end, has shown even less offense than Hagelin has, and cant stay in the lineup. The talk at the time of the trade was well yea we lost a lot from Hagelin but Etem is still quick, with a bigger frame, will go to the dirty areas, and has skill. We have hardly seen any of that.

Megna is at worst even with Etem. I think its a good decision.
How you play better than Etem --- don't go anything stupid.

Etem got his shot. Now we give Megna a shot to play a defensively responsible game in the bottom 6 and not hurt the team in 3 shifts.
Black vs White Pens exhibition game in 2013. Went to a shootout, Coach asks Tanner if he's ever shot. Tanner says no. Coach calls Megna out to take the penalty shot. Megna shows he has good hands. Kreider or Etem couldn't do this.
