    One of the worst mishandlings I can remember. Keep scratching the kid and scratching the kid and drive his value into the ground until nobody will take him. Then put him on waivers and watch him get claimed.

    Prod, there is no way this kid is not getting claims. The rest of the league saw what he did last year when that asshole AV actually gave him a chance to play.

    Yes, I think he is too. The "nobody will take him" part referred to his trade value.

    Hate this move. What really makes me mad is that they put him on waivers instead of at least trying to trade him or make him part of a package to get a return. Another wasted pick and mismanagement of a young player by this "fine" organization. This franchise is clueless quite often in dealing with their younger players. They could have gotten something....ANYTHING....for him. Instead they'll lose him for nothing.

    That is ridiculous to say the least. Dump is going to blow a gasket and with reason this time as AV totally fucked that kid over.

    The biggest issue is they likely lose him for nothing. If you're going to go this route why not try to get anything possible for him? Even if it's a late round draft pick.

    It will be better if he is so everyone can just move on and maybe he gets a chance to play somewhere. I think there's things that went against him from the start. He shouldn't of been drafted as a top ten in the first round and then the injuries the first couple of years after being drafted. All he has become the last couple of seasons is a kid on the sidelines who is the rallying cry every time the Rangers lose a game or something doesn't go right.

    Yup. Exactly. Though i wouldn't mind trying to get a mid round back to save some face.

    I had said this awhile ago but still true: no way we draft him if AV is our coach. He has no use for that type of player. He was drafted to play zone D, take the body and block shots for Torts. Unfortunately there was a regime change and a drastic change in team philosophy, identity and style that put him at a disadvantage before he even made the NHL

    Maybe the Flyers will grab him and make him another Gudas in two years.

    What the Ranger org. is not telling their fan base? He needs to play......just not with
    the Rangers. If nobody claims him, he will play the rest of his hockey career in Hartford.

    And......................?

    If nobody claims him at 800k w/o having to give up a pick or prospect then that's pretty telling.

    What a fucking disgrace. Prediction, an Eastern conference team signs him and he spends the next 10 years crushing our forwards and knocking them out for extended periods of time. Unbelievable. If he isn't claimed it's because AV has been telling the league he sucks for years.

    I think prodigy is right though...he was the pick of the previous administration (for lack of a better word), they had zero loyalty or investment in him. Have to follow him closely now to see if he gets claimed by anyone.
