Thread: 24-25 Without Chytil

Why do most people here insist on buying out Goodrow? A buyout would cost the Rangers over 8M compared trade at a 50% discount which would cost less than 5M.

Both depend on how they perform in the playoffs. Plus, Wennberg only stays if Chytil is good to go

Well I'm not going to ask what would make the Blues bite because the responses would be equally one sided

Thread: Healthy Ranger Lineup

I understand your point and I said "get a look". Having Trocheck would have two strong faceoff men on that line, and that can't be a bad thing. They both do the same on the power play if you think about it. There are other aspects of Trocheck's game that I believe would improve the line.

Thread: opening night if othmann crack the lineup

I do believe both Wheeler and Quick are going to be liabilities while Cuylle and Othmann have both performed above expectations. Domingue is still in the mix because Quick will probably have a quick (pun intended) exit if he doesn't play better.

Thread: opening night if othmann crack the lineup

Wheeler looked slow and tired against NYI. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets bought out or put on waivers. Cullye looks more ready than Othmann and I would move Laffy down with Chytil and Panarin and Kakko to play with Kreider and Zibanejad. Jones looked good against Boston and Quick didn't (another waiver?)

Thread: Lets be realistic

If you look at my description at the top I have PCL but I'm not 100% sold on Chytil on the draws. I think he was getting better towards the end of the season so we need to see how Peca can help him. In the lineup shown, I was only projecting what Laviolette was going to start with

Thread: Lets be realistic

Are you part of the Panarin bashing club too? Goodrow was part of the Tampa 3rd line that everyone raved about. While I agree that he is overpriced, he is still a dependable player. He and Vesey could easily be swapped. As for Chytil, what has he proven? As I stated, he needs to learn to take draws. That is why I put him with wheeler to take dzone pressure off. I love Chytil and love how he has improved the last two years! If the team is in fact doing well, the is no need to rush Cuylle and Othmann and they can continue to develop as they should.

Thread: Rangers 2324 Opening Night

Apparently my comments did not save. My lineup was based on the premise that to start things off the coach was going to go with experience. I put Laffy on Trocheck's right side because despite limited time together last year, they were productive. Cullye is no slouch and that line could be even better that the former kid line. I do believe Othmann will be called up but probably not until the new year unless there are injuries. If Wheeler doesn't perform, he will switch places with Kakko for sure.

Thread: Whats up with Lafreniere

His production continues to grow and nearly all his points are 5x5. I'm hopping Laviolette will roll four lines and get everyone the opportunity they deserve. Laffy knows the payday will be in a year or two as the cap get back in line with revenues.

Thread: Rangers 2324 Opening Night

What's your beef with Goodrow? I hope Laviolette will be more inclined to roll four balanced lines with 3/4 interchangeable so I'm not worried about Cuylle getting minutes

NYR say no - Chiarot and Lucas combined for a +/- of -48 last year. Yzerman would definitely need to retain some money on Chiarot

Thread: Laf on the right

No reason except that Lafreniere has played on the right with Panarin and despite the short duration he played well there. I agree Panarin was an overpay but it was also a mistake to pick Laf when there was no room to get him the playing minutes his draaft position deserved.

Thread: Yahweh

My hope is that Laviolette is more inclined to roll four lines rather than wearing out 1/2 which probably had an affect on the top two under performing. As far as Jones is concerned, I have him on the roster for that very reason. If he doesn't perform as we all hope, he will lose his trade value regardless and might clear waivers. The Rangers don't need a Fox clone

Thread: The solution to all our troubles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>well he shouldn't be on the team. Scratching him he would be open to be traded. Just tried of seeing him going home with all that money and excuses each offseason. He shaved his head to response to him disappearing in the playoffs. Yeah that is how you get better at playing hockey?:awesome

and would open up roster spots for Laffy, Chytil and Kakko. + cap
and he is a diva only will play with certain players.
and I'm tired of him.</div></div>

My point with the comment was that you kept his salary in the roster and you don't even come close to replacing the 90+ points he gives the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>I highly doubt they signed all those vets just for them to play in the AHL. Othmann and Cuylle will/should spend the year in the AHL with big minutes

With the exception of Wheeler, Bonino and Gustafsson, who are on my roster, the others can't touch the quality of Cuylle and Othmann. as for Jones, if he can't impress Laviolette, he is destined for Hartford or some other team. There are plenty of pipeline dmen to fill the 7d spot
