To the kings for a 4th rd loss. Wasn’t helping here and at least we got something for him
 
Figured he would be gone at the end of the year either way. Making room for Kravtsov too i think factors in. Gives us an extra pick to maybe throw into a summer trade.
 
Agreed - solid move as Lemieux had become kind of useless. We only looked at him as a potential positive sometimes because he was one of the few players on this team that played with grit, but that doesn't make him good.

The question to me is who sits between Di G, Howden, Blackwell, Rooney, and Gauthier when Kravtsov goes into the lineup. I think it may be Gauthier as they don't see him as a 4th line player, which is where he'd play with Kravtsov in the top 9.

I am very excited to see Kravtsov up tomorrow or Tuesday. What a top 9 we'll have. I like our top 4 on D. We are so close to being a very good team after the kids get more experience. It is going to be a very exciting handful of years for Rangers fans starting next season.
 
I think you will see Di Guishitty and Blackwell go next if they don't go to the Pack. I would like both on the Pack. They are good examples of work ethic for prospects down there. I don't think you will get much for them. Howden might be the next to go. Because he's a decent PK guy and a center that might be a plus faceoff guy down the line, they should do better than a 4th. Especially if they package him with defenseman prospect.
 
The way the refs were treating him with the penalties he was useless here
 
I still can't believe a shit team like the Ducks or Red Wings hasn't traded for DeAngel0. He was a dick to Georgiev but Avery was a far bigger asshole as a teammate along with many other guys. Gorton is probably asking way too much.
 
Needed lemieuxs money for after season extension for howden. :biglaugh:

I’m reading Avery’s book right now. All those HOF Red Wing guys loved him. Actually, every team he played on the boys loved him. He could play and he played hard. Makes you hate Torts, he’s just a POS human, especially how he handled the Boogaard situation
 
He was a fucking moron. Your gritty players have to do with other things well like play good defense, win faceoffs, kill penalties, block shots. The only thing he did well was skate everything else he sucked at
 
Yeah cause I would believe what Sean Avery says. He’s a Cocksucker. Fucking piece of shit is constantly starting fights riding his bike about drivers and the bike lane. Torts is a dick and didn’t handle Boog well. However the reason Rangers got Avery was because his fucking team couldn’t stand him. He also was a complete piece of shit with Phaneuf.
 
I appreciated Avery for a time. I actually posted about trading him on chat boards before the Rangers did. However off the ice after his career he has conducted himself like a piece of shit. There’s nothing he could write or say that I would give two shits about. If you look at the trades he was involved in teams gave up nothing to get him. Second time the Rangers got him he was released.
 
Not a huge deal but a dumb trade. Lemieux has been a disappointment this year and has been playing like a moron, but I’d rather keep him around for a stretch run against division rivals when ice gets tight than lose him for a 4th rounder. If there’s a logjam at bottom 6 wing he’s not the one to ship out.
 
I think Barron has a little toughness in his game to go with his skill.
 
Barron can have an edge when it’s necessary but when Tom Wilson takes a run at Adam Fox along the boards Barron is not going to make him answer for it.
 
Those games with Avery were great. They had a great record with him. Fans loved him and still do. And I do believe what he says because HOFers like Shanny, Cheli and Stevie Y, backed him up. Most people are scumbags in this world so I have no issue with Avery acting like a crazy nut now. I’m glad Avery start fights with those asshole New Yorkers. Every time we used to go to a Rangers game some piece of shit New Yorker would try and start a fight with my father and I over nothing. I remember once some little runt was pissed we weren’t walking down the escalator and felt compelled to run his midget mouth, another time some rich prick got pissed we sat next to them and didn’t sit there quiet. (I was just cheering on Orrsie after a scrap). I remember him saying that most people accommodate my request to sit here quietly because I’m a season ticket holder. When my dad told him to go fuck himself he called his buddy down to try to strong-arm us. Then when my father and my 19-year-old self at the time called them on outside they pussied down like he pussies we knew they were. I love that Avery does that I hope he keeps doing it

Right, but either way Lemieux probably was gone in the offseason so if they got something with 20g left so be it i guess. Smith will have to do the heavy lifting. :)
 
If we were a playoff team, maybe you can say keep him for a down the stretch run, but we are not making the playoffs, and I rather play kids there to gain experience. To get a 4th for almost useless at this point Lemieux makes sense to me. We have so many 4th line options anyway, so why not add a 4th.

Kreider/Zib/Buch
Panarin/Strome/Kakko
Lafreniere/Chytil/Kravtsov
Howden/Rooney/Di G/Blackwell/Gauthier/Barron
 
Rangers are very soft right now and could use a physical player or 2 on that 4th line that can play and also handle the rough stuff

Honestly, I’m over expecting any kind of toughness when watching hockey. The league is nothing like what it use to be. Some people like it, some people dont. It’s whatever now. Team only has about 20 games left until they’re golfing so no big loss
 
That's the thing though, does Lemieux really add toughness? Sure he plays with some grit, and for this team he was tough, but I don't think he solved that need. It is something we'll need to add to the 4th line for next year I think, unless Barron can fill the role. For now go with the kids and get them experience I say.

And they only play the Caps one more time so if Wilson does anything Smith can fight him if needed. In some ways he's better at that than Lemieux.
 
Barron is an ivy product with 0 fights in his entire hockey career . He’s not tough at alll. At this point with all these young guys the Rangers bring up that don’t pan out I wouldn’t hold my breath on any of them at all

That dosen't mean anything, as there's basically zero of that stuff in NCAA hockey.
 
Lemieux’s game is not one you fully appreciate until we don’t have someone like him in the lineup. Just seems like a pointless trade to me. I picked Tom Wilson as an example but there are plenty of assholes on the Isles, Flyers etc as well.

Can’t wait to use this extra 4th rounder on someone we’ll probably never hear of again after draft day.
 
Yea def, Prod. They haven’t hit on any players recently other than maybe Miller. Every first round pick they’ve had don’t look like they’ll be anything other than top 9 players
