Confirmed with Link: Rangers sign Bobby Trivigno

[SML2]

This is the type of move you make so you don't have to pay a premium for bottom sixers. He's physical and high energy. He can finish some plays. There was an article a week or so ago that said Cale Makar gets all the hype, but Trivigno was the most important guy in their program. Its low risk, all reward. You need guys like this to keep the roster competetive.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Mark my words he will be a good ranger

Won’t be a stud but a dependable middle six guy that will play well on a deep third line

 

[Rempe73]

I don’t think he’ll become much, but you can never fully rule out Italians

 

[BBKers]

good signing. if we get Meyers to sign, we basically make up for the assets lost in acquiring Copp (less Barron). The costs of Braun, Vatrano and motte were not overwhelming either.Maybe 2 of these guys resign. or Copp at least...

 

[CasusBelli]

So the Jordan Tootoo version of Jimmy Vesey?

 

[CasusBelli]

Am I missing something or does this place need a bit of a reality check on this guy. He was undrafted and had worse college production than Vesey.

I’m all for grabbing free assets, but this guy seems like a career AHLer.

Very rarely do “sure things” from North America not get drafted, and even more rarely do unstaffed players amount to much.

Gut feeling? Or have you seen something from him you like?

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

Undrafted NCAA guys suck 9/10x.
How does he stack up to Kerplunk (best college FA since when)?

 

[Roo Returns]

It's more middle and bottom six depth. At some point all those guys are going to price themselves out of here (Rooney) and prospects like Cullye/Othmann/Berrard and maybe Edstrom are going to need opportunities or be used in packages.

I look forward to Edstrom and Trivigno as the Rangers version of Penn and Teller.

 

[eco's bones]

Somewhere along the way Jimmy Vesey lost his drive. It happens…..but this is why I don’t take Vesey comparisons very seriously.

Book it?

 

[JMan74]

Book it?

What is the absolute ceiling of this guy? Gaudreau?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

What is the absolute ceiling of this guy? Gaudreau?

Taking away the size aspect, I see a lot of Ryan Callahan in him.

 

[JMan74]

Id sign up for that. Can he play for us this year or does he likely need more development

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Gaudreau? Really? No I don't think his ceiling is a top 5 scorer in the NHL.

It's probably a 3rd liner at absolute best.

 

[GAGLine]

His contract starts next year. He's playing for Hartford tonight on an ATO. I'm guessing he'll be in Hartford again next year.

 

[egelband]

Freddy Gaudreau?

 

[nyr2k2]

Really hard to project the small guys. Even if they're sturdy, like a Christian Thomas, some of them don't translate.

With that said I think Trivigno has substantially more offensive upside than some are giving him credit for.

Trivigno>>>Makar confirmed.

 

[mike14]

2 primary assists in his first game with the Pack.
Pack lost 8-5

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Oh, btw did anyone hear Joe say that he was 5'6 on the broadcast yesterday? That was a mess up right? He is 5'8-9 correct?

 

[Larrybiv]

There is a little shithead, pain in the oppositions ass that plays for the Canadiens........yeah, Brendan Gallagher.
So......if he is anything like him, why WOULDN'T we entertain the possibility? But, not this year, for sure.
Coming from a tiny tike, those hits were something else, hands dont look too bad either.

He has been listed anywhere from 5'6" 150 to 5'8" 163 from what I've seen. Hartford just listed him at 5'7" 160.

Our Gallagher clone is Berard. I think Trivigno is more a Callahan-type in the way he plays. Feisty kid who never gives up on a play.

Size-wise, he's the closest to someone like Caufield but it's dangerous to make comparisons on size alone because you end up focusing on a characteristic that doesn't necessarily impact the style of that player.

Loose comparisons based on style (not upside)...

Brennan Othmann: Kyle Connor
Brett Berard: Brendan Gallagher
Ryder Korczak: Brayden Point
Will Cuylle: Tom Wilson
Brandon Scanlin: Brayden McNabb
Bobby Trivigno: Ryan Callahan
Lauri Pajuniemi: Victor Olofsson
Justin Richards: Dominic Moore
Patrick Khodorenko: Radek Faksa
Austin Rueschhoff: Austin Watson


It's interesting to see how many of these make it to the NHL. Some are long-shots, some are more likely to get there. Man, this part of the rebuild is fun.

Pionk is the best one of late.
