I'm hopeful someone claims him. I'm thinking those games he played in were his shot at a showcase for a trade. The Rangers must not like what's being offered and figured this would be the better option.
In all seriousness, the guy has been a good teammate and someone who has consistently given his all as a Ranger. He's never been the most skilled guy but that's not something I'll hold against someone after watching the Dark Ages of the Rangers.
Good luck at your next spot Tanner whether that's in the NHL or AHL.
I am hoping this is the beginning of some other changes coming.

Jimmy Easy to defend
Remember that time we waived Malone then he played the next night... Hopefully that isn't happening

Most posters here got what they wanted so hard and so bad. IMO they should just let it go though. Vitriol--when personal almost never does anybody any good credit. A guy who is good enough to play over 400 NHL games--no matter how bad he is at the NHL level--you should respect him as a hockey player. Out of a planet full of hockey players he's very easily in the top 1 %. It takes a lot of work and dedication to do what he's done. He's definitely not in our top 13 forwards and IMO both Gibbons and Megna are better players.....so I'm not complaining about this. It's still the right move.

Yeah celebrate too soon? If Glass isn't claimed, they may actually change their mind and keep him

People were all up on his **** after his first pre-season. Half the forum desperately wanted him to succeed.

With Glass: 41-19-6 (109 Pt Pace)Could you imagine how many more points we would have had last year if Glass didn't play those 66 games?
Without Glass: 12-3-1 (128 Pt Pace)
But that's a small sample size, I think it would probably 150-200 points.

You see, it's a nice car, but there's a pretty obvious way which it could be easily improved upon. Hopefully for the rich teenager it doesn't take 14 months for some action. Perfect analogy. Thanks, Fitzy.

If only all players could set the bar that low in order to impress in the playoffs.

In all honesty, must be pretty awful to always be the golden boy who's good at everything - sports, education, great family - then get to the NHL and realize your skill is just a shade below what you need it to be. Considering his multi-sport understanding of athleticism, his Ivy League education and that everyone who knows him loves him, Glass may well become a great coach one day.
Superstars never make good coaches because things came too easily for them and they don't understand what it's like for marginal or even average pro athletes. A guy like Glass did more with his career than his talent should've let him do by understanding things better than others of similar talent. That's what a coach needs to do. When he retires, I wouldn't mind if he became at least an assistant coach in Hartford to start and hopefully he can quickly move up to more senior positions in the organization.

Glass will be a very good AHLer. To say that he'd score only 30-40 points in the ECHL is nuts. Michael Kantor is scoring at a point per game pace in the ECHL and he can't even notch his first AHL point. Glass would be a superstar in the ECHL if he went down there.
As someone who follows Hartford, I'm pretty excited to see him there. He'll be a key power forward for the Pack. I think he'll help Hartford a lot if he plays there.

I actually thought Glass was decent in the playoffs, relatively.
I have those same rims on my Jeep, only in gunmetal plasti-dip.

I agree, that is exactly what the Rangers are when Glass is in the line-up. I'm not even sure he is qualified to be waffle rims.

Say what you want but he was very good in the playoffs and was the single guy to ever drop the gloves on the Rangers. Please don't give me the Kreider fights logic as one is it purely stupid. He is a star in the making and can't spend 5 mins off the ice and #2 he is bad at it lol
