Confirmed with Link: Rangers to sign Jacob Elmer (RW) (Official announcement in #79)

[Bluenote13]

Don’t see the issue here even if the guy turns out to be a total Fud

(Shhhhhh I’m hunting wabbits)

Cozens is a very good pick if we do not land a lottery ticket

If he ever scores against the Ducks, I want this to be shown on the Jumbotron:

Rangers Agree to Terms With Free Agent Forward Jake Elmer

 

[nyr2k2]

Worth noting that, while Cozens was present in Lethbridge last year, he only had 53 points in 57 games. At the same time, while Elmer's production was below average all year, he managed to go 4-9-13 in 16 playoff games. So, he started to step it up before this year began, actually.

Listen man, there's only so much I can do at work.

Work? You sure? You're online an awful lot during the day

HFB pays him the big bucks.

 

[eco's bones]

Players come from all kinds of places and hopefully Elmer works out. Got to do your due diligence and look at as many places and players as possible.

 

[and 99 others]

People cheering for Cozens haven’t watched him play. Nothing stands out about him other than his literal size. With Dach and Lavoie both draft eligible, I’m not even sure if Cozens is the best right handed Center above 6’3 in this draft class

 

[Larrybiv]

Let's hope he is that "rare breed" in scoring 50 goals every year.
Hahaha, anyway......this signing begs the question.....what gives?
WHL? Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot of that league, but he has some pretty awesome #'s. 20 years old.......again, what gives? How are we so fortunate to sign guys like this, is this for real......like, what are his chances of being a part of our Rangers moving forward? Or, are all of these stats, just fluff numbers?

 

[Larrybiv]

Heard he was a real glue guy.

Oh, like Namestnikov? Okay, now I am depressed. Was hoping we grabbed a guy, literally coming from out of the blue. Yeah, kind of like Kevin Hayes. Lol. Hey, Kevin got us a 1st rounder and Lemieux. Not to mention the 300+ games, albeit not ALL of them great, but he was a good chap, a good Ranger for the most part. Would love to bring him back. He loved it here, and that translates to good hockey. Usually.

Well, inbetween hanging TVs and putting up trussing, I get some time.

A man also needs something to do on his bathroom breaks

If we don't win the 3rd OA lotto pick or don't trade up to select Cozens, I'm sure we can get Turcotte or Newhook at the 7-9 range.
I would not underestimate the cost of trading up a few spots. re: Brendl, do you forget what it cost to acquire the Brendl pick? Sundstrom, Cloutier, a 1st, and a 3rd. Two young roster players the organization liked and a third to trade up 4 spots. or Sundstrom, Cloutier, Hlavac, Johnsson, 1st, 3rd, 3rd for Lindros. 2.5 years of Lindros. ugh, it's so painful thinking about the early century Rangers...

The first and third we traded for the Brendl pick were the year following. The Rangers kept their own first, traded up from 11th to 9th with Calgary and drafted...wait for it...Jamie Lundmark.

I can’t tell you how disappointing that draft turned out to be.

Glue guy was a play on the fact that his last name is Elmer. Like Elmer's glue.

Oh crap.....I didn't even get that. Wow. Now I am really depressed.

I don't know if you're being serious, but if you are, I'll take it. Getting another Hayes-type player would be nice. Not a centerpiece but definitely a top six guy.

He's definitely joking. Elmer is a long shot to ever be an NHLer.

Still a free asset that brass seen enough in to give a shot, but he went undrafted while Hayes was a first rounder.

If nothing about Cozens game stands out to you, then I question if you have actually watched him play.
