Recalled/Assigned: Ryan Sproul (Assigned to HFD)

[GoAwayPanarin]

Wow this is a great opportunity for Sproul. The Rangers are literally playing 2 of their top-7 defensemen from most of the season.

With HOLDEN being one of them!

If NH ends up getting moved this week and they hold McD out a bit longer, Skjei will be the lone survivor.

Crazy.

 

[Fitzy]

Sproul has some NHL experience, I was wondering if he would get an opportunity.

This really makes me wonder what the plan is for Smith. Are they just punishing him, or is he really out of the equation for next year?

 

[bl02]

Skjei is now the veteran and the leader of the defense lol.
holden probably gone by the deadline.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Holy injuries. This is almost comical at this point.

An injury per game rate.

I doubt we see Smith until next training camp.

 

[Crease]

So many injuries even the mediocre losses hurt.

Unless dare I say we make the playoffs and Playoff Beast Smith appears.

Hmmm, so that's how long a fractured hand takes to heal?

Nah brother. The doctors here at HF are way more accurate. More like 2 weeks

I just think they want him to get the full AHL experience so he finds the motivation to get in shape this summer.

Kampfer is injured too? Sweet Jesus.

Pionk, Sproul...starting to sound like we're assembling a team of Pokemon.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Who is left down in HFD?

 

[Harbour Dog]

Would of preferred Graves, or even Smith, but whatever, interested to see if he can bring as confident a game as Pionk and Gilmour have.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Man, how pissed at Brendan Smith are the Rangers if they're calling up Sproul over him? LOL.

Chytil and Anderson need an enforcer

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Always liked Sproul. Has a bomb. Excited to watch him.

 

[Kovalev27]

Smith is being punished. As he should be. Won’t see him anytime soon.

Sproul has been fantastic for a couple weeks now. Well deserved.

We’re going to Minnesota with only 6 D? That’s interesting.

So many injuries even the mediocre losses hurt.

People will disagree with you here. Kampfer doesn't deserve the hatred he gets.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Definitely excited to see how he does. Loved him when he was a Wings prospect and liked that we got him.

 

[eco's bones]

Sproul has been scoring goals lately. Just saying.

Sproul has been scoring goals lately. Just saying.

He does have an absolute bomb of a shot. I mean like Bryan McCabe levels of a cannon

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Lol Graves best asset is his last name. Stop pretending he’s NHL ready. He’s got another year before he can be a bottom pit guy

Pionk v Graves is the typical case of brains v tools. Fans fall in love with tools, but brains inevitably turn out to be more important. Graves was always a boom/bust guy who could've been a top pair defenseman with all his tools, but if it won't all come together, he'll be a minor league bust. But it's not just his name. Being 6-5 225 is not just his name. Having a 104 mph shot is not just his name. Skating, defending 1-on-1 is not just the name.

Who hates on Kampfer? Not sure what else you could ask from the guy. He fills in and plays generic, unremarkable defense. That's literally a perfect #7. A few gaffes are to be expected but I'd take him on the roster anytime. He's been a pleasant surprise.

I feel the same way. He's not going to be great. Some folks wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot-pole. Careys the AHL label/stigma.

 

[eco's bones]

I actually kind of like Kampfer. He's not a big guy but he skates pretty well and he competes. I don't see him making loads of bad reads either. His cap hit is very cheap.

Remember Kostka? That guy sucked.

I remember him NOW, thanks for reminding me.
