Thread: NYR 2017-2018 Opening Night Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>manton_luke</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jeffwitz97</b></div><div>Nash&gt;Eberle. At putting the puck in the net, perhaps Eberle is now a bit better, though its certainly debatable. However, Nash can play in all three zones, kill penalties, and is a leader. Nash's contract also expires after the year which is honestly advantageous to have versus the Eberle contract. The Rangers couldn't take on Eberle's contract because it then occupies any cap space needed to resign Skjei/Hayes/Miller/Vesey after the 17/18 year.</div></div>

As an overall player, sure, he brings more to the table. For almost $8 million per year, though, you have to score. You can pay 3 separate guys $8 million combined to kill penalties and "lead."

Bottom line is that neither team is in a position to take on salary, so I don't see the point.</div></div>

Neither of them are worth their contracts, but Nash's might be more appealing to NYR because it expires sooner. Thats the point i'm trying to make.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFan</b></div><div><i>I have the Penguins beating out the Rangers in the first round and is probably one of my more confident picks, Yandle is good but he's not going to stop Crosby especially when paired with Klein.

lololololol. Rangers dont need 4 shutouts to beat the pens, sure the pens are hot, but the playoffs are a whole different game. To say that a pens/rangers series is an easy one to call is ludicrous. Sure the rangers have weaknesses, but lets not act like the likely starter for the pens has any playoff experience... or that this pens group as a whole has been mightily successful in the playoffs of late. The pens also lack scoring depth and defensive depth, and when games are much tighter checking as all playoff games are, they will wish they had more of both.
