NYR will need their backup with back to back next Friday/Saturday.

Who will it be? I say Geo

Say we do add another middle6 RWer... someone like Reilly Smith.

Who sits?

Rooney has to be in that conversation. He's the 'least unique' in that sense. Hunt brings his pitbull mentality for the forecheck. Reavo is the alpha dog, protector. Gauthier bring size and speed.

Rooney is the only one that doesn't bring anything different. He's been good, that's not what I'm saying.. but he also serves similar roles to a Goodrow.

Kreider Zibs Smith
Panarin Strome Kakko
Laf Chytil Gauthier
Hunt Goodrow Reaves

Hunt/Reaves rotate as the 12th F on the 4th line with Rooney-Goodrow

 

[rangers1314]

Of the available rental right wings coming up, who are the ones that are shooters?

I'd think Rooney could be the odd man out.

Don’t see that. He’s a big part of the PK and has been real good for them. GG is a fan

 

[McRanger92]

I still maintain that another defenseman is the biggest need. At this point in the season, you can’t take hunt or Gaut out of the lineup

Wouldn’t be surprised if they grab another RD at some point. Lundkvist has been playing better but they need a better 7th D than Tinordi

 

[duhmetreE]

Zac Jones is going to force his way onto the big club.

Scored tonight

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Zac Jones is going to force his way onto the big club.

Should have been here to start with.

 

[rangers1314]

NYR have been very lucky with injuries thus far on the back end. Jones will get his chance at some point.

 

[pld459666]

If we are adding, it has to be a legit 2nd line RW

Meaning Gauthier sits or is part of the acquisition

 

[rangers1314]

I keep coming back to Radulov as the deadline target

 

[Rangerboy030]

Am I mad, or would acquiring a top-6 centre and shifting Strome to RW be a better idea than going after a RW wholesale?

This is absolutely the better move.

Give me Giordano if he’s available. He can take a lot of pressure off Lundkvist. I know that would relegate Nemeth to the bench but having depth on D is so important as the season goes on

He’s not. Seattle isn’t trading their first captain 4 months into his tenure.

 

[McRanger92]

Why not? He’s a UFA after the year it’s not like he’s locked into anything or has any loyalty to Seattle. He can leave after the year for nothing

Just don’t see them doing that. I’d sooner expect them to extend him.

Are you sure it won't be Tinordi?

 

[bl02]

Toffoli albeit not a UFA and has some years left on that deal.
Has been disappointing so far this year but was pretty darn good last year.

 

[rangers1314]

Are you sure it won't be Tinordi?

I’m not, and that scares me.

Id like to think that if one of the top 6 guys goes out for any extended period of time (2 weeks or more), Jones gets called up

We should go after a young top 6 center who can be here beyond this year.
