How about Janny Erixon?
always good to have a perpetual Selke candidate;Jan Erixon?
It was Janny to his close personal friends and fans.Jan Erixon?

AmericanizedI've heard about Janne, never saw someone call him Janny
There was actually a pseudo position designation called “Shadow” back then. I had a modest hockey card collection in the 90s, this was one of my favorites and for some reason the most memorable:always good to have a perpetual Selke candidate;
watching Janny disrupt Mario shift after shift ...
back then the strategy was to match a F vs a star F, in last 20 years coaches worry more about matching their D
The legendary Jörgen Jönsson-Peter Nordström PK pairing used to do this all the time as well, they were amazing at stealing the puck and carrying it up the ice to keep the puck in the corner of the offensive zone for the entire shift. This was in the SHL/WHC though.Erixon IMO was the best defensive and penalty killing forward our team has had or at least as long as I've been watching them. That guy use to get the puck on the penalty kill and take it into a corner and kick it around between his skates for half a minute--45 seconds at a time with 3 guys all over him and they couldn't get the puck away from him. He'd do that all the time. I don't know if there's ever been a forward who killed penalties better than him.
Erixon talk also timely re this posted article, which ranked Nylander in top 5, leaving out Erixon.
Poddubny and Rogers also had high scoring seasons in their only 2 NYR seasons.
I would have Erixon and his 550+ games ahead of Nylander.
Nylander was very good, but only briefly a Ranger.
Erixon, as demonstrated by comments above from folks who were fans then, was a legendary Ranger in his own way.
I wrote about it on the first page.So for those like me who never have seen Barron play, what's the big deal about him as I've read some glowing reports about him.
And for those who have seen him, what is his upside and what current NHL player does his style of play compare too...thx in advance for any insights you might have.
LOL...I still have a few boxes of them in my basement ...my nephews love them though when I give them a box to open ....what kid does not enjoy opening hockey card packs ?There was actually a pseudo position designation called “Shadow” back then.

Sabres had a couple of dandies in Luce and Ramsay ...two of the best ever IMO .

Morgan ranked the 10th best nyr prospect according to THN
But some guys are on the team already like Shesterkin
Saw that. It's written by Cornell's assistant director of comms but imo doesn't really give anything new or exciting. Just the same stuff we've been speculating about all year.
