And so it begins

 

[The Crypto Guy]

OH HELL YEA

 

[Lays]

Where’s Rykov at though

Figuring out our goalie problem is gonna be tough as well, what the hell do we do with all 3 of Shestyorkin, Hank, and Georgiev? Maybe start Shesty in the AHL like Samsonov and then trade Georgiev at the TDL?

Edit-
Also in case anyone wants to know more about Kravtsov, here’s a 10 min highlight video of this season (#74 in black/white)

Where’s Rykov at though

Wouldnt be suprised if he stays one more year, like Tarmo

 

[Golden Puppers]

Wow a new era about to unfold in New York. They have some good pieces. Mika Zibanejad looks like a stud too.

 

[Lays]

Wouldnt be suprised if he stays one more year, like Tarmo

I think it’d be best considering Hajek and Lindgren are both NHL ready LHD as well

 

[bernmeister]

Well we knew Krav was fer sure comin.

Shesty, too, means Georgiev is on the block for the right price.
We COULD be cautious and be sure about Shesty first, but no reason to do that if ample immediate help is on the table.

welcome to the new name!
not that i had a beef with the old one.

Yeah, I think he may well be ready for 3rd line and I see Hajek and Lindgren both ready to take top pairs. Move Skjei now if good enough offer, fair value, get the young assets.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kakko, Kravtsov & Shestyorkin all in the same season
Jeez

Thanks berns even though I already regret the name change

Skjei should stay until Hajek and Lindgren have proven something first, throwing them on the top pair without thoroughly developing them is exactly what contributed to ruining Skjei imo. I think Hajek can surprise some people though while I don’t see Lindgren being much more than a defensive 4D, similar to McQuaid in some ways but a better skater

 

[bfaust30]

Shets said if he has to play in Hartford he will. Let him start there. Unless the Sabres or EDM or Florida wants a goalie. then Georgie can be dealt

Let him start in the AHL unless he gives you no choice in training camp / pre-season.

 

[5cotland]

That right wing next season is looking so sexy...

Kakko
Kravtsov
Buchnevich

If we are mindful of one detail, we are on the same page.
Either the guys are actually ready, or close to ready, or they are not.
If not, then I agree with you.
If close enough, then seize opportunity.

Circumstances including timing will dictate the return for Skjei.
Deal him later, he could get more, he could get less.

Besides, we have more than enuf actual/potential stopgap options if the 3 prospects are not ready for prime time.

 

[780il]

Kakko and Kravtsov is a hell of a 1-2 punch at rw.

Shestyorkin is a stud as well

They just need to fix their awful defense and they'll be a good team for a long time.


Also, does this mean you guys can trade Georgiev to Edmonton now?

 

[ElLeetch]

I think it’d be best considering Hajek and Lindgren are both NHL ready LHD as well

on our board, i noted as/near NHL ready: Kravtsov, Kakko, Lias, Chytil, and Howden up front, and Rykov, Lindgren, Hajek, Pionk, on D, and Igor/Georgie at G.

There is a lot of competition for youngster roster slots. not all of them will make it. 4-5 of them will need homes elsewhere this season.

Sure, if it helps us fix our god awful defense

Calder trophy nominees next season:

Kakko - NYR
Shestorkin - NYR
Kravtsov - NYR

You can have any d prospect not named Bouchard or Jones... We'll add a 2nd or 3rd as well depending on who you pick.

Skjei is still around. ADA broke out this season. Pionk is a decent bottom-pair. Then we have Rykov, Lindgren, Hajek close to ready, then Miller, Lindqvist, Reunanen further off, but all had great development seasons this year.

We are missing a big #1 stud D guy, but the rest are filling in nicely in the future.

Cool, we’ll take Soderstrom at 8

As much as Georgiev is a good fit in Edmonton, I don’t think Edmonton has realistic desirable D prospects for NYR. Bear is decent but we already have a handful of similar players.

Big day for the Rangers. Getting Shesty and Vitali over is a huge deal.
