Robertson has 3G/6A in his last 6 games.

Robertson has 3G/6A in his last 6 games.

He tends to be forgotten when it comes to the future of the left side, but his solid skating and defense might make him a good long term partner for a guy like Lundkvist.

He was kept in camp extra long for a reason, they expect good things from him and it may not be in the too distant future (2 years)

I think he was kept as long as he was because he was injured for the beginning of it and they wanted to get him into a game, not to take away how they think of him or how good of a player he is/projects to be

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I genuinely think after one more year in the W, Robertson can jump right into the NHL. Maybe a few ups and downs but definitely a solid rookie pro in 21/22.

He will be playing junior hockey for 2 full years and I could see him spend half a year in the AHL after that. It's a big jump. I think my realistic expectation for him in 2021-22 is to have a similar impact as Joey Keane this season

Joey Keane is not knocking on the door to make the Rangers as you suggest for Robertson. So while I pretty much agree I think it will be another season after this in juniors and then likely at least a full season in the AHL.

Our defensive situation/depth in 2021 will be vastly different from 2019. Staal won't be on the team for one. I think for guys like Robertson in 2021 it would be easier than for Rykov/Keane in 2019.

I am not at all predicting Robertson will for sure play in the NHL in his first pro season, but to at least have a similar impact as Keane in Hartford

With DeAngelo pricing himself off the roster, Keane could get a shot sooner rather than later.

I don’t see DeAngelo pricing himself out of the lineup at least for a few seasons after this.

You’re not giving $4mm to a player when you have Fox on his ELC who can do a similar thing at 1/4 the cost.

Especially when the Trouba/Panarin signings have cut your flexibility.

I’d do $4m for ADA in a heartbeat and so probably 90% of this board.

No argument there, but in a salary cap environment it’s a non starter for the Rangers.

Please try and keep up.

More than a non-starter, it's an instant sign. ADA at $4m is a stupid underpayment that any team in the league would take and then figure out a way to make it work.

since when did ADA make a contract demand? Stop making sensationalist comments like you write for the Huffington Post. No one has a clue what he's going to sign for and even if it messes up our cap, a signed ADA is worth more at the market than an unsigned one. If you are unwilling to give ADA $4M you are a grade-A dolt. if he had a 5 year contract at the number, you realize how much higher his trade value would be? Also, that would be a deal for the point production he is puking out.

In a salary cap era, it’s an awesome deal that any team could, would and should make it work. You’re off the rails on your position, my friend.

He doesn’t need to make any demands as he’s arbitration eligible.

Start using your head for something other than a hat rack.

What do you think he'll get in arbitration?

Also, people insult you because you're super condescending in most of your posts. In case you were wondering.

(I know you're not wondering.)

I mean, yeah, he kinda does need to make a contract demand. He's not going to arbitration if he doesn't, b/c that'd mean either he accepts the Rangers offer or refuses to sign a contract.

The irony of your hat rack comment here is quite rich.

 

[nyr2k2]

Aaltonen had been on loan for three games in Mestis, but is back with KalPa in Liiga and playing right now.

DeAngelo is not pricing himself off the roster. Not even a little bit.

That means market comps, not getting paid $8m

 

[eco's bones]

DeAngelo is pro-rating for a 60+ point season as a RD. His defense has improved as well. I don't look at him as a legit 1st pairing guy but defensemen who can put up those kinds of point totals are pretty damned rare. I suspect he will ask for at least $6mil per and would not be surprised if he asks for more. I think the Rangers would go into an arbitration lowballing him around $4 mil per. There's a point where the Rangers ability to defend as a non-playoff team is their great weakness and that's not really a goaltending issue and in that respect Tony is certainly part of that issue and that will be one of the Rangers arguments.

I think the Rangers have a price for what they want to shell out to Tony and past that they start thinking about moving on from him. If there's a happy middle ground it's more likely to work out.

It's like his Mestis spell fired him up and gave him some confidence.

Yeah, it really can ignite players. Same thing happened to Puistola, one of my favourites in the 2019 draft.
