It seems like Trotz is trying to bring the heavy hitters to the first game, which kind of makes sense. NYR will be playing with a lot of young players and a few rookies, Trotz is going to try to play structured and try to disrupt the young guns with physicality.

With no pre season or chemistry built up for the Rangers, I think it's going to be a little chaotic for them and this will add to it.

Ross johnston shouldn’t be in the NHL though lol - isles already have Martin , cizikas, clutterbuck, and pageau who are all physical. Johnston isn’t needed. Wahlstrom is just as physical and he brings a skillset that the isles desperately need.

Don't disagree at all, I would be doing the same thing as you. But I have a feeling this is a Game 1 against rookies type of move and not something he will do all season long.

(As a NYR fan I hope he keep RJ on the 3rd line all season)

Lol don’t doubt trotz - he’ll do anything not to play young skilled forwards.

I don't know, Johnston showed he can play some hockey last year. But I agree we have better options. I wonder what's going on with Timashov.

Ross has no hockey IQ. He can hit and fight, that’s it. Shouldn’t be on the 3rd line on a team that has playoff aspirations.

I don't agree he has no hockey IQ, like I said he showed some abilities last year. But agreed, there's no reason for him to be on the third line. At least not full-time.

Maybe, just weird he hasn't been signed yet. Same with Schneider. Maybe that'll change today.

I thought Timashov did sign, pretty sure he was in training camp the first day or two. I j don’t think it was made official yet, like Schneider

He didn't sign yet, but he's on waivers today so he must have signed today.

Trots system is able to cover up for grinders with no skill. I would take timashov , wahlstrom, czarnik, and even MDC over johnston

I agree, those guys would've been a better fit on the NHL roster right away as opposed to Bellows. Although I'm cool with Wahlstrom not starting right away and being a mid-season callup.
