Still potentially my favorite sequence from 15-16

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Yea that was awesome SF.

Good deal and the kid better get a long leash.

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[NYR Viper]

That's a very good deal for the Rangers. Hope the kid gets a shot

[Oscar Lindberg]

He probably will get traded before the season lol

Poor guy (or maybe lucky guy if he gets traded, he won't have to deal with a team trending downward like this one)

Absolutely rolled Schultz. Love it.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Fair deal. Hopefully our coach actually plays him this season.

Yeah, because we're so deep on RD

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Yeah, because we're so deep on RD

I'm not advocating a trade for him. I'm just saying don't be surprised if it happens. Holden's gotta play somewhere

 

[Mikos87]

Great deal for the team, hopefully Dylan gets some more ice time.

With Buek controlling the D, I think he will. It's not the best case when a guy like Dylan McIlrath is your best skating RD, but that might be the case with the team next season.

I'd like to see him assert himself and really punish guys physically.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Play the kid, AV.

Also, that Schultz sequence is amazing.

 

[Siamese Dream]

That's a very good deal for the Rangers. Hope the kid gets a shot

 

[Stugots]

Really hope he plays more this season (Looking at you AV). The dude is a physical presence.

 

[RangerFan23]

What is his status coming out of this for those that understand these things better than me? I assume still a RFA like Miller?

Dylan will be a group 2 again. He needs 3 more seasons for group 3. He is 24. 27 is the age of group 3.

I think NYR fans romanticized his performance last year, in part due to frustrations with Boyle/Girardi and in part due to his draft status.

Still, I think he can be a good 3rd pairing dman, but he has to be able to learn to play the PK better. That was a struggle for him in his limited time there.

 

[eco's bones]

Being the 7th D and playing about 30 games overall he wasn't going to get a big pay raise. He should have played more last year--hopefully he'll play more this year. Having Beuk around maybe will help that.

I think he'll be better on the PK when he plays regularly. When you're off two-three weeks at a time it's tough.

Welcome back Wrath!

PLAY THE KID AV.

 

[TheTakedown]

and when AV is fired and Buek takes over helm, McIlrath will be promoted to first pair

But seriously, having Buek around is a big case for McIlrath to be playing. Skjei and Bodie too

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Fair deal. Hopefully our coach actually plays him this season.

Yeah, this.

 

[terrrrrible]

Better play him this year. Unleash the Undertaker.
