Proposal: NYR and LVGK

[Lion Hound]

I don't remember too many times Vesey standing up for teammates. Care to refresh my memory?

Sure...

Stood up for Hank after Radulov came in and gave him a face full of ice. Ended up pairing off with Pacioretty and dropping the mitts.

In a chippy game vs Ott he levels Brassard with a hit. Stone came in and they threw down. In this one he was standing up for himself.


Vs the Devils Miles Wood and Coleman both went after Nick Holden, after a hit along the boards. Smith was on the ice as well. Vesey was in there before anyone and dropped the mitts with Coleman.

Last time Rangers failed to replace Lindberg and ended up missing the playoffs. Lindberg was a good player and good fit for Rangers. Neither Lindberg or Vesey is currently working out with their current teams.

Are you implying theres a correlation between these two occurances ?

What happened to Vesey? I remember him looking pretty good when he first started with the Rangers. Pretty shocked that Kerfoot is the better player right now as many thought Kerfoot was the product of Vesey.

Lindberg will most likely be available on waivers for free. I'd take Vesey as a throw in to get a dman like Gilmour or O'Gara that doesn't have to pass through waivers.

You can have Gilmour and O’Gara for a comped night at Harrah’s and a buffet voucher

Thanks. Well Lindberg is not without grit himself:





Lindberg produced 52 points in 148 games for Rangers, while Vesey produced 60 points in 171 games. But Lindberg did it mostly on the 4th line without much PP time. And I think Lindberg is a more dynamic player.

Possibly the AV effect.

Desharnais was a disaster, so yes even if Rangers were to stay healthy last season they might have missed the playoffs. Even before the injuries they started last season so bad that AV was like a loss or 2 away from being fired.

I'll agree with there. I think he has more upside and I think he can out produce Vesey. But would he out produce guys above Vesey on the depth chart? I don't see that happening. Plus need room for the younger guys.

Just the overall state of the club IMO needs a guy that will help bring them together and I think Vesey has more of that.

Are you seriously blaming the Rangers missing the playoffs on not replacing Lindberg?!?

 

[Machinehead]

How about a pick coming back instead Rangers Forward group is a bit overstocked and I think Vesey needs more ice time somewhere else

Yeah, like the AHL.
