From Fish at OTG. Rangers expected to signh Patrik Nemeth

[kreidertime]

Left handed vet d man. Seems like he's good defensively. Have to research it. He was a -1 on the shit Red Wings last year which is almost impossible to do because they sucked so bad.

 

[kreidertime]

Senile Brooks says he can play it nasty and is a stay at home guy they might pair with Lundkvist. Contract term looks good. Surely a guy they can deal if they choose. I like it.

 

[mrmel29]

I love a big nasty defenseman for the rangers that is not a traffic cone!

 

[kreidertime]

Yeah. Seems like a good move.

 

[theProdigy223]

I like him for the third pair. Fits what they are looking for in a partner for Nils. He wasn't great in the playoffs in the COL games I saw, but always tough to judge guys who move at the deadline into a way different system and the standards on COL's blueline are very high. I also didnt realize he was Swedish, so that'll help Nils as well. Overall good move.

I had dreams of Suter filling this role but that was always a pipe dream for us.

 

[kreidertime]

Suter is a fucking relic.

 

[theProdigy223]

Wrong. Suter can still play and will get a great deal this offseason from a contender. The point is moot anyway as the role is filled.

 

[kreidertime]

He's not going to get shit. He's old and he will be double dipping. I don't expect him to get more than 1 million.

 

[Ranger71]

Nemeth doesn't move the needle much but they do need some experience. I thought Gio would've been excellent for a year but apparently that's not in the cards, maybe.

 

[kreidertime]

It's always funny to see the fans of teams when they lose a player. Us included. I never liked Buchpussy. Av's fans are dismissing this guy. Yet, the last 4 losses to Vegas Girard was a -9, Makar was a -5 and their goalie sucked ass. Yet, that wasn't the reason they lost.

 

[Ranger71]

They seemed to assume after the 1st game that their skill alone was going to get them through against an experienced team that didn't panic. Hopefully it's a good learning experience for them, but losing Landeskog wouldn't help, they need to keep him. He's really their leader.

 

[kreidertime]

Fuck them. We need to sign Landeskog.

 

[Ranger71]

Yeah that would be great. Can he play C?

 

[kreidertime]

We don't need a center. They have Zibanejad, Strome, Chytil. Goodrow can play center as can Barron and Richards. We need a vet forward who can score, hit and isn't a pussy. That isn't Kreider.

 

[Ranger71]

Right, i was thinking along the lines that Strome or Chytil were dealt at some point. Don't really like Chytil at C anyway.

 

[kreidertime]

I don’t know I was watching him on face-offs the second half and he was a ton better. If you look at his face off percentage he didn’t end up much worse than Strome. Dvorak is a guy I still would pursue

 

[Ranger71]

I guess if Chytil and/or Strome are dealt it would be in a package for a big time C anyway.
