Confirmed with Link: Zuccarello and Fast not at practice today

[Rongomania]

Steve Emingers former first cousin, twice removed.

Triggered.

 

[Crease]

Eminger was better then what McQuaid and Smith are. Hell, at 35 today he probably still is.

Yes thanks, dark times now on d as well.

What's the problem with McQuaid? I think he's been good here.

 

[Ori]

Yeah rumor said 1st rnd rental Buffalo?

 

[BBKers]

I was just joking When I Said Montreal. I know from very reliable people that Dallas, Calgary and Winnipeg have all shown profound interest.

 

[leetch99]

Hopefully Winnipeg for 1st and Lemieux ...even if we add a small trinket...win for us long term for sure .

 

[will1066]

Had no idea Eminger still works in the organization.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Had no idea Eminger still works in the organization.

I have heard the organization thinks he has a very good future as a scout. He was always a smart guy.

 

[Trxjw]

With Connor, Wheeler, Laine, and Ehlers on the wings and a weak #2C in Little, the only logical move is to add another winger in Zucc.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Had no idea Eminger still works in the organization.

We hired him this summer to replace our WHL scout, if I remember correctly. It looks like he is already getting his feet wet as a pro scout too. Gorton/Gordie must be pleased with what he brings.

E - looks like he was originally hired to be a pro scout. My bad. Got him and Konowalchuk confuzzled.

 

[aufheben]

Steve Eminger is one of our scouts?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Steve Eminger is one of our scouts?

correct, he's one of the Pro Scouts on staff

Lemieux isn’t good

 

[NYR Viper]

Lemieux isn’t good

This isn't true

 

[Lays]

This isn't true

Jets fans complain about him a lot and he’s pacing for like 20 points. He’s only 22 but he’s really nothing special and no where near “good”

 

[nyr2k2]

I'm just opposed to having a dude named Lemieux on my team.

I was also opposed to drafting Yamamoto because I didn't want a "Kailer."

Names and name associations mean a disproportionate amount to me. LOL.

He's 22 years old and a power forward. They take longer to develop. He's not a world-beater but he projects as a 3rd line who can put up 15-20g and 20-25a while being a PIA to play against and provide a physical element to his game. Is that a player who will the Art Ross? No. But it is still a useful player and it's also a somewhat unique player in today's game.

He gets 7 minutes per game with no PP time on the 4th line. He ain't gonna have no gaudy point totals. I think he has some potential. 8 goals in 38 games is pretty good, scores a lot in tight and takes the puck to the cage.









WPG fans would absolutely not want to move Lemieux on top of a 1st for a rental.

I've joked about this here before. I think it'd be fun to see how drafts would have turned out of you picked by "hockey name". Obviously people would have different opinions on what constitutes a hockey name, but it's always clear in my head at least.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Brendan Lemieux is a guy we’ll never trade for or have but will be talked about here constantly

Probably gonna be seeing people begging for him five years from now

On second thought, I loved Claude Lemieux. So if I could make that my internal association, I'd be gravy.

 

[Miamipuck]

Steve Eminger is one of our scouts?

Wow some guy named Justin Sather is as well. I can't imagine how a nobody, without a name, provenance, or an "in" could land a job as a NY Rangers scout. Guys, never give up, dare to dream.......

This isn't vetted but 100% true:

C.L, his Dad, was every bit of the asshole he appeared to be. During the mid 90's in Florida, I had a good friend that served as a practice goalie for the Panthers and visiting teams, when circumstances arose. You would be surprised at how often in those couple of years he got a phone call. Anyhow, one of those teams was the Av's. Well the older dipshit was taking full blown slapshots at my buddies head, there was no mistaking what he was doing. Adam Foote dropped the gloves with him to get him to stop, he reminded him in no uncertain terms that they wouldn't be having a practice without my buddy and he was doing them a big favor. The guy is a complete jackass.

Yep, I’m still waiting for Jessiman to develop.
