Recalled/Assigned: Oscar Lindberg

[cwede]

I'll share this again here - translation of the Swedish tweet

translated by Google Translate:
"Oscar Lindberg named by the New York Rangers . Finally , the NHL chance for the world champion ." 8^)

Any official sources yet? It's not up on the AHL transactions page.

FWIW, there might be nobody with the flu and a trade on the horizon. We'll see.

Seems unlikely to me.

Don't expect magic. Expect unspectacular, often unnoticeable competence.

So vanilla hockey

It's similar to Fast and it's noticeable.

I don't think so, AV has no reason to lie and say that a few guys may be sick. There are other ways to dance around the issue if that were the case.

If there was a trade, that would mean that a roster body is getting moved. Unless that body is Glass that means the Rangers would likely be making a very dumb move.

Even Fast is flashier.

I read the flu is going around so likely im of someone can't go but hope he plays

 

[The Gloaming]

Excited to see what he can do. Hopefully he can stick until we get someone else to kick Glass to the curb.

btw, in last 5 years, only NYR draft picks higher than OL's 52 were Skjei, JT, Mcilrath and Christian Thomas

Talent Analysis
Lindberg has an excellent work ethic and plays well in all zones. A true center, with very good on-ice awareness, Lindberg has good playmaking abilities, and tends to step up play in big games.

Future
Lindberg is a potential third-line player with good offensive upside.

You had me at competence.

 

[Raspewtin]

The Rangers didn't draft Lindberg.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

The Rangers didn't draft Lindberg.

He didn't say they had...

 

[haohmaru]

He didn't say they had...

"Only NYR Draft picks..."

 

[Raspewtin]

He didn't say they had...

"btw, in last 5 years, only NYR draft picks higher than OL's 52 were Skjei, JT, Mcilrath and Christian Thomas"

Definitely implied it.

whatever...
I wasn't meaning to imply it,
i know damn well we got him for Werek
besides, the folks here all know who we've drafted

just wanted to add context, relative to all the guys drafted recently, 53 to ~110, whose #'s are already being retired

this is a quality prospect, champion and MVP of Swedish playoffs, proven under fire

i hope he's here through June
(NOT implying i want him gone after that)

Showcase.

"Only NYR Draft picks..."

"btw, in last 5 years, only NYR draft picks higher than OL's 52 were Skjei, JT, Mcilrath and Christian Thomas"

Definitely implied it.

Not at all, he's saying the only players WE'VE drafted that were higher than Lindberg were X, Y and Z. The same sentence construction could be used about any player in the league.

 

[haohmaru]

It doesn't read that way to me, but he's probably right that most of us know he wasn't a NYR pick.

Hope the kid makes it.

 

[rangers1314]

His recall is now official Via the NYR twitter account.

 

[nevesis]

“@NYRangers: OFFICIAL: #NYR have recalled forward Oscar Lindberg from the @WolfPackAHL. In 54GP Lindberg has 16-20-36 and is a +5.”

 

[RonGreschner]

Another steal by Sather even though it was a save from drafting Ethan Werek.

“@NYRangers: OFFICIAL: #NYR have recalled forward Oscar Lindberg from the @WolfPackAHL. In 54GP Lindberg has 16-20-36 and is a +5.â€

Man, those guys in the OP were miles ahead of this.

None of our beat writers have even sniffed it.

Still not on the AHL Transactions page which is shocking to me. That thing is usually the #1 to break a call up.
