Thread: playoff time ideas read dsc
Yeah, Othmann may get a look in Hartford (AHL), as a loan, at the end of his OHL season but don't see him jumping to the NHL for the postseason.
Othmann is just 19 so he wont be eligible to play full time in the AHL next year either, so he's likely headed back to the OHL for another year or maybe Switzerland, hope they don't rush him to the NHL, that has not worked out at the forward position as of yet for the Rangers over the last 5 years.

Kreider was 20 turning 21 when he got signed & added to that 2012 postseason run after his BC season ended & was a more developed product than Othmann is now.
Gallant's a coach that is more comfortable with his veterans, especially in a playoff environment, id also expect more Nemeth/Braun for that same reason on the 3rd pair.

Doubt we see Kravtsov especially if Traktor keeps winning in the postseason but maybe .... they are down 2-1 in their semi-final playoff series.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Not trying to totally dismiss the idea...but just realize (if I remember correctly) 2012 was a few years out from Kreider being drafted- and he was always a physical specimen to begin with. I believe one of the "knocks" on Othmann right now is he still needs to fill out his frame...let the guy keep growing!...I just don't want to rush him and end up stunting his development- Rangers know that story too well!</div></div>

Thread: Rangers All In Huge Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bluspy88</b></div><div>I don't think that's what they were saying, they were saying who is your other top 6 RW now? Yes you upgraded one for Kane but you gave up one in Kakko. You will not win the cup with Julien Gauthier as your 1RW. I also personally think Kane would get more than that considering how bad Chytil has been so far</div></div>

In this albeit unlikely scenario, you move up D.Strome to 2C &amp; R.Strome to2 RW (or flip them? &amp; Move Kane to 1 RW.
You'd then gotta move M. Barron in that 3 C role at that point or move Goodrow over to 3C &amp; Gauthier to 3 RW ...
If your getting a talent like Kane, some other players may be moved around ...

This is strictly for this season, there would obvious personnel moves in the offseason with the Cap what it is.

and CHI take 50% on both CdH &amp; PK ...

Thread: Its Been Awhile
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>Do guys like Tyler Toffoli and Taylor Hall (to Arizona) not count? And that's just from 2019-20.
You know very well that **** isn't true, even if it didn't really happen in 2021-22.</div></div>

In neither of those trades for Toffoli or Hall (to Boston) did a player that was top 10 pick OA or with Kravtsov's celling as a player go the other way &amp; BOTH teams acquiring those players resigned them, so they weren't rentals.
The Hall trade by Arizona, as a true rental, was not so good for them in the longer term. If just for Dawson Mercer! They won a a qualifying round in the bubbles &amp; didn't win an actual round in the playoffs... Thats a good trade?
NYR doesn't have the CAP space to resign Smith, so i stand on my original statement.
