Thread: Ny Rangers FAKE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>The Rangers would be incredibly dumb to not take advantage of the situation, ala the Bolts, and leave him on LTIR until after the season. Why rush a kid back into the lineup who is 1 hit away from eating soft food for the rest of his life? He needs a solid month of practice, with contact, with the team before even remotely considering putting him in the lineup.</div></div>

Because thats not it works? If he's cleared as ready to play, by the teams medical staff (and they dont lie), and the league finds out, the rangers would be heavily heavily penalized. The bolts took advantage of a perfect scenario, not "oh he's healthy at game 55, but we cant wait another 30 games".

Once a player is medically cleared, theyre off the LTIR.

As for practice, its typically 1 week no contact, 1 week full contact.
And if theres zero setbacks, then he's good.

Thread: Wahlstrom oh my
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Kravs never should have been drafted above the 3rd round. That was the almost unanimous ranking outside of 1 scout who went to bat and lost his job because he was wrong. Very different situations here. Walhstrom probably needs a change of scenery(new coach and system)</div></div>

Kratsov was definitely givven a first round grade, just not a top 10 one.
He was definitely a risk/reward pick, but yeah I dont disagree clark missed badly on him and andersson. The following 10 picks though weren't exactly slam dunks though. So Its not like the rangers missed a sure thing at 9.

I like the idea of wahlstrom, but Im not moving jones and skykora for him, and I dont want Bortuzzo. Id say something closer to a 3rd for Wahlstrom and we're good. He's a buy low candidate and a 3rd is accounting for the rangers needing to overpay Lou.

Thread: Big Swing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>That depth you speak of has never done anything when it’s counted. How many more years of Panarin, Zibanejad and Kreider are we going to waste? It’s foolish to keep waiting for tomorrow when the best forwards on the team are already at 30 or beyond 30.</div></div>

And heres the problem. I dont think its the panarin mika and kreider that will cause us to win a championship. Those three have done the bulk of the offensive lifting since 2019, and we've gone 2 rounds total in the playoffs.
Depth scoring is beyond valuable in the playoffs, and the depth i speak of hasn't done anything when its counted?? Are you kidding? in 22 when the kids were absolutely monsters in the playoffs and our best line, we won games.
