Stating the Rangers should have signed Chimera. Yeah. That's what they need. A 37 year old role player who cost over 2 million when they are trying to get younger, faster and have little cap room. I swear, that senile old fart is clueless. The mind boggling crap he puts out there is so dumb it's almost hard to believe he still has a job.
There would've been zero point in that. The team at best is a wild card who will get bounced early again.
Chimera doesn't suck. He had 20 goals last year. However, he's old, not hungry and he probably would get 5 goals here. Pirri was scratched many times because of his defense. Last thing this team needs is role players who can't play any defense.
Chimera is looking for that one last payday. Any guy in his position looks to the Rangers and their rich tradition of overpaying over the hill players first.
Today he writes an article slamming Gorton for still have done jack to change the team. At least Brooks got something correct.
So looks like the forwards are Zucc-Brass-Nash Kreider-Step-Miller Buch-Hayes-Fast Grabner-Gerbe-Glass/Hrivik/Jensen Lindberg jumping in when he is healthy ...:yikes
Gerbe is not a center. He's a wing. Hayes isn't a center either. Not when the lazy fuck can't win above 40% of his faceoffs.
Pretty sure Gerbe played center at times on CAR.. Makes more sense on the wing... I don't think they have a choice with Lindberg out
He took 5 face offs last year. 15 the year before that. Never taken more than 20 in a season. If they expect him to be our fourth line center this year that is a huge problem because not only does he not play that position but the guy is smaller than Zucc. Hrivik makes more sense there, that's where he played mostly with the pack
No. What makes sense is to have a 4th line of Hrvik-Fogarty-Nieves barring no trades. Our 4th line was crap last year. Rebuild an entire 4th line. Use 2, 4 year college guys that were not great offensively in college. Put them with Hrvik who looked great in his call up last year. Cut Glass or have him deported and send your dumbass coach a message. No more playing rejects. Gerbe to me should be in the AHL unless Zucc gets hurt. We have a guy like that who is 10 times better than Gerbe.
Right, giving two kids with zero NHL experience full-time roles makes perfect sense. I forgot you're already in tank mode.
I like Fogarty alot but i think he and Nieves definately need a full year in the A to develop a little more. Jensen seems to be a now or never guy. Fast imo is nothing more than a 4th line player, at least on a team going anywhere.
Forgarty and Nieves nees to play in the AHL before they got shots. They didn't have great college careers
Prod. You really are turning into a pussy who is afraid of giving kids a chance. It's mind boggling that you actually think this team can compete for a cup. You're about the only one. The dumbest comment in all of sports is, "Right, giving two kids with zero NHL experience full-time roles makes perfect sense". Spoken like the assholes of our past in this organization who never wanted to give kids a chance. As if no kids with zero NHL experience every got full time roles. If you could actually grasp how fucking stupid what you just said was. Oh my God. What happened to you.
Fogarty and Nieves don't need to play in the AHL if they are to be used in a defensive role on the 4th line. They both had 4 years of college are were used in defensive roles. While I'm not a big Nieves fan at all and have bad mouthed him. These are not 20 year old kids. They will be 23 and 24 next year. If you don't expect Fogarty or Nieves to score much, then you won't be disappointed. They are better than the horseshit that was on the 4th line last year.
