We really had about 6-7 drafts which produced absolutely zero.
 
Not really. Clark always finds one guy in each draft with little to work with. 2013 got us Buchnevich and Graves. Duclair was used in a trade. 2014 will give us Shesterkin and Halverson. Mantha and Iverson who they cut are having big overaged seasons in juniors. 2015 will give us Zborvskiy and Gropp and Kovacs still have a good chance to be something. Huska as well. 2016 is very promising. 2012 only gave us Skjei with few picks but that is enough. 2011 gave us Miller. Good enough. 2010 was tough with them trading McIlrath but at least they added a piece with Fast. They seem to find a good player in every draft. That is what you need to stay young enough.
 
Yeah, i mean more in the 97-07 dead period for the team. The last 10y have been more fruitful. I was looking over the list from the link. Staal Tyutin and Lundqvist came out of a few of those plus Call/Dubinsky.
 
Gropp is tearing it up now. 24 points in his last 15 games. Now with 46 points in 46 games. Great sign. He got off to a slow start but he might have been told to work on the defensive part of his game. Hat-trick last night in his teams 3-1 win.
 
Gropp with 1 G, 3 A last night. Now with 28 points in his last 16 games. I would figure he would play one year in the AHL but I would not rule out Gropp making the team out of camp if they deal Nash.
 
Gropp with 2 more points last night. Tambellini with hat-trick in the Pack's 3-2 win. Considering the crap team around him, he's having a decent season. Now 11 G, 17 A. 11 points in his last 11 games. Should be interesting to see what the organization thinks of him. Halverson with 32 saves. Playing much better.

So if Shestyorkin plays out the 3y K agreement he would be 24 when he arrives here and maybe plays behind 38y HL for his last year or so and then takes over.
 
Pretty stupid of him to sign a 3 year deal. He should have made it 2 at the most. However, Halverson is a guy that to me, will take a big step up. He always has the second year of a league. Gropp had 2 g 1 a last night. He and Barzal seem to compliment each other. Barzal is a great passer but has a weak shot and little finishing skills.
 
You'd think after one more full year of AHL action Gropp should be ready in 2018. If he's not used in some sort of deal.
 
I highly doubt he's included in any deal. His size, speed and skill set fits the system perfectly. That and forward depth in the system blows because they traded so many picks away.
 
Gropp with 3 more points last night. Now 18 points in his last 6 games. 37 points in his last 20 games. He's insanely hot. Now with 61 points in 51 games. Finally, a good sign from a forward in our system.
 
Gropp with two more primary assists last night Now up to 63 points in 52 games. Remember dealt Hagelin to move up in the draft. While Hagelin certainly had a big part in the cup win for Pitt, he's gone back to sucking now and being overpaid. 19 points this year.

Halverson with 42 saves last night. He's slowly, starting to figure out the AHL. Shesterkin signing a 3 year extension was stupid. He might have a hard time getting a job in 3 years here if Halverson keeps improving.
 
That whole Hags thing worked out well. We moved up and got Gropp, who has potential to be real good, and we now replaced Hags + by signing Grabner. For one season, last season, we missed Hags badly and he was huge for the Pens as mentioned, but now that was a great series of transactions for us. He is not worth a 4 mill cap hit.
 
Everybody bends over for Shesterkin but IMO, what Halverson is now doing is a lot more impressive. The KHL to me is the most overrated league in the world. The league pretty much has 3-4 top teams and all the rest freakin suck. A lot of old players also. The AHL is the best league in the world preparing players along with the Elite league IMO. The Pack freakin suck. So, if Halverson can lift that team, it's pretty damn impressive.
 
Good night for most prospects. Gropp with another G and A. Kids is absolutely on fire. Gettinger had a hatrick. 26 goals now. Was suspended for a little while for an after the game fight. Kovacs scored. Finally. Only his second. No coincidence it was when Stromwall finally came back. Halverson let up 6 goals so he followed his great game with a bad one. Fontaine with his 20th.
 
Gropp with 3 goals and 1 assists last night. Can't wait to see this kid take the next step. Pack continue to suck as they get shutout because their coach is an incompetent moron. Maybe one day Sather will put down his cigar and fired that asshat.
 
Sean day signed his ELC today. Should be in AHL next season
 
I think Day was a steal in the 3rd round, another big dman to go with Graves, just needs to keep his head straight and he could be on the big team. Speaking of Graves why won't AV give him a shot instead of opting for the tinier Kampfer?

I like Day a lot as well. Could be a steal if we keeps it together, physically he has all the tools. If he doesn't pan out, well at the end of the day he was a third round gamble, not something to dwell on.

Regarding Kampfer over Graves, I have to assume that it's because Graves is a left shot. If we played him over Kampfer right now we'd have 6 lefties in the line up. Not exactly a recipe for success. You're already seeing teams dump heavily on our right side to make our lefty-playing-right side dmen turn their backs to move the puck. He'll get his shot.
 
Graves is 6'5' 230 and won the AHL All Star hardest shot contest 103+ mph, I'm not saying insert him as a starter just give him a little taste of the NHL. Don't know if it's AV or the front office but it seems a waste for Graves finish out the year on a crappy Hartford team when the Rangers are in a relatively low pressure situation playoff wise.
 
Agree. The guys he's using back there now suck. Graves is ready.
 
Its a head scratcher that like Panze said we are locked into 1st WC and Graves hasn't been up for at least a couple cups of coffee already. Staal could use a couple games off at a time here or there to keep him fresh for the playoffs.
 
how many games played at the nhl equate to first year towards free agency?
 
Graves is an RFA in '18 so I don't think NHL games affect his status until the Rangers resign him. Ryan is in a similar situation to Skjei who only got an opportunity due to Boyle getting hurt with 7 games left last year. Skjei is also an RFA in '18. I find it hard to justify bringing up a guy like Kampfer over Graves but those are the games AV likes to play. For years most on this board have agreed that the Rangers need to be more physical defensively and they need to sign a guy with a big shot to help the PP. Graves is big, physical and has a 103+ mph slap shot - don't see what AV's missing here.
 
Looks like they signed a player from Minnesota..5'10 forward who's Lou Nannes grandson. They said Skjei and Stepan recruited him. 19g this year.
 
Signed Penn St. dman Vince Pedri. He was their best blueliner as a 23 y/o soph. Played in the USHL for a few years after hs in Minnesota.

Saw that but couldn't find anything to say if he is a RD or LD. And 23 yr old sop?? WTF. I graduated college at 21.
 
BEFORE PENN STATE
Played four seasons in the United States Hockey League for the Omaha Lancers (2011-13), Indiana Ice (2012-14), Bloomington Thunder (2014-15) and Tri-City Storm (2015) ... Totaled 203 games played with 22 goals and 45 assists ... In 2011-12, saw time in 44 games at Omaha, dishing five assists ...

In 2013-14, played 36 games with five goals and nine assists for the Clark Cup Champions in Indiana ... Started 2014-15 with the Bloomington Thunder as the team’s alternate captain, playing 39 games and scoring nine goals with 13 assists ... Was traded to Tri-City and played the final 28 games of the season with the Storm, scoring five goals and three assists ... Played two seasons with Apple Valley High School, tallying 13 goals and 41 assists in 56 total games ... Played youth hockey with teammate Chris Funkey and junior hockey with Matt Mendelson, Kevin Kerr and Chase Berger.

Well, this answers the 23 yr old sop question. Still can't find anything on whether right or left D
 
I didn't see anything on R or L but he looks like a pretty decent prospect. He might be ready to play by next year though the spot may not be there.
 
Lettierii is 22, 5'11" 195. 19G/18A in 37 games with UMinn. Pedrie is 23, 6' 195. 8G/22A in 39 games, ranked 3rd in NCAA SOG LH shot.
