I don't necessarily disagree with this and I certainly don't think he should be an everyday player, but it's a massive problem when management signs our 13th man for more then a million more then necessary.

He's gonna pull a voros and score a bunch in the first week then likely disappear
I imagine that the offensive roster will be like such (if Malone makes the squad):
Kreider-Stepan-Nash
Hagelin-Miller-MSL (Miller being subbed out w/ Moore in the final 10-15 minutes of the game)
Stempniak-Brassard-Zucc
Glass-Moore-Malone
Lindberg
Lindberg assumes starting LW position on the 4th line within 40 games.

Why would they put Lindberg on the wing when they already have a capable winger in Fast?
I assume for the same reason that they moved Boyle to the wing - to have the flexibility to be aggressive on face-offs.
AV rolled w/ 5 centers last year.
Who's going to be our 5th center this year? Eventually, that will be Lindberg. And since Moore is the vet, I believe that Lindberg will be called upon as a winger, and potential 2nd line center on the PK unit.

I think counting on Lombardi to be anything important to this line up would be absolutely reckless.
He hasn't has been over a year removed from playing in an NHL game and wasn't able to play in one full NHL season for his last 4.
And Lindberg is one hell of a prospect, in my opinion.
I think he can be our best 4th liner by the next 2-3 years. Important piece to the future, for sure.
Good point--I'm very happy to have Dom Moore centering the 4th line for the next two years. He's been great. But, I definitely like the idea of having Lundberg spend time on the wing, so he can learn from him too.
I have nothing against Lombardi, but as you point out, we have no idea if he can still play in the NHL. It's a tougher game than Europe and while speed is important, sometimes players have to stand their ground and take a hit to be effective in this league.
I can forsee a 4th line of:
Lindberg-Moore-Malone/Glass
I expect Stempniak to take the 3rd LW spot. But I don't know if he's the ideal guy to be on that line. That position could very well be one that we're looking to improve at the trade deadline this year. And not even with a guy who would be here for a long time - but more rather a dominant replacement who would help for the playoffs and then transition the Rangers from him to Duclair/Buchnevich.
Someone like a Bobby Ryan or a Chris Stewart, that would be let go at the end of the year.
Can't remember the last time the Rangers put a Q & A session with a supposedly washed up, damaged goods player on one of their websites.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Brooks all but saying it's a done deal at this point. Just go to the Post and check it.
Interesting.
On the one hand it makes you wonder if they have some doubts about some of their younger guys....or if they are just looking for size and some scoring at a bargain.
I could see that. Getting a guy who can score 10 - 15 goals, is big and tough and getting him for $650 - $750K is a bargain.

Hold my baby, man.
He admitted his mistake and he's willing to work hard to make the team. At this point, he just wants any roll he can get. Anything the Rangers need him to do to help the team and to win.
I like it. Worst case scenario is we bury him, but if he gets back to form and makes the team, he could be a nice addition.
