Pick 3 Prospects from a rival!

[NYRangers]

yea because the #1 ranked NCAA goalie isnt a good prospect..nor Danny Blackburn....but you consider LABARBERA who is just terrible in the NHL as not 2 shabby

Your putting words in his mouth. He never said that, hes saying why would he take a goalie when they have Fluery, Chiodo, etc? They could take someone they could use.

Re-read my post champ. I know that whole reading thing is taxing - but it's fundamental to communication on a message board.

I basically just said they were all great prospects, but that it was my opinion that Lundqvist will be the best of the three - I never claimed that Blackburn and Montoya were bad prospects, they are actually both quite good - though Blackburn really needs to get back on track soon with some quality minutes. To be honest, with Labarbera I was throwing you a bone to be a swell guy. You're right - his upside is probably an AHL tender - but a good one.

Only somebody itching to start some sort of flame war could turn a post complimenting their organizations prospects into an insult. At least I wasn't like:

"OMG Fleury is such a sure-fire bonafied super-prospect that we will never need to even consider drafting or signing another goaltender again!!!"

Take it easy slugger.

Calm down, man!

He never said anything like that...
Penguins have some good goaltenders. I didn't choose a goalie from the Rangers' rivals as well - but that does not mean, they don't have any good ones.

@ BlindWillyMcHurt: I'd rather put Chris Holt instead of Jason Labarbera - he doesn't seem to click on NHL-level (didn't have a ton of chances, though).

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I actually don't know too much about Holt, except for his little write-up on the Rangers HF page. He sounds intriguing though. Big hybrid tender, playing for University of Nebraska. Not exactly a hockey hotbed, but the competition will be good.

The reason I mentioned Labarbera is that I have listened and seen him play several times this year and last and he was pretty solid in all his outings. I agree with him not being an NHL-caliber goaltender, though having a very solid AHL-affiliate starter is not a bad thing.

I wasnt on the same page as him, that was all. I thought the point of the thread was to just pick 3 prospects from a rival team..not 3 prospects from that team that you want on yours.

Read above post. I didnt understand the purpose of the thread..thats why i was questioning why you didnt think we had any goalie prospects...my fault.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Ah, I see. Not a problem FLYLine.

 

[X0ssbar]

My Team: Columbus
Rival: Nashville

Columbus could use some quality defensive prospects and we are thin at RW so some of Nashville's top prospects match up great with our needs:

So red rover, red rover - send:

Suter
Weber
Radulov

on over.

The record of the farm team is hardly a basis for judging the quality of a team's prospects.
