I think this is on upper management to get these young guys to understand and buy into the process. Toronto did it a few years ago and kept all their young guys on the Marlies and won a Calder cup.

I think Kratsov was more cultural than actual playing...i mean the dude had trouble going to get a haircut. Shesty is bit older and should be better able to handle the cultural changes as well as understanding his place in the organization.

I hope so, time will tell.

Another thing I think to consider with Hank is his win total. He is now at 453 wins. I think it would be reasonable to figure that he would end his contract next season just shy of 500 wins. Would the Rangers bring him back on a one year deal if he was 3 or 4 wins away from that mark?

Should they?

My first thought was, God no. But it's an interesting point. IF he understands he'll play 20-30 games, and here's the big issue, what kind of money? If resonable, why not, theryre going to have to bring some other backup in anyway. I doubt he does it, ego to big. (Understandably)

I am certain they would. One year at $1M or so as a backup. If it's for insurance reasons in case AG or Shesty are not cutting it as the #1, then it will cost a bit more to do so. But I see it happening. As we saw last night, a rested Hank can do wonders...not sure if that will hold true in two years, though.

I would have no issue with Hank as the backup. But he has to want that. I think that if he could adjust to that role he actually might be a great backup.

His work ethic alone is good for all players to emulate on a young team

Rather than change that goal, they should change the third star of the game...what a joke...hometown selection on an oopsie goal. If you needed to pick a hometown star of the game, at least give it to Hamilton who had a fantastic deflection (by him, not a Ranger) goal...

I don't see it, nice with this pipeline of goalies we have waiting in the wings

I expect farewell tour, final game next season everybody taking a picture wearing #30 hats

Is there going to be another serviceable goalie coming up after they deal one of Shestyorkin or Georgiev? I am talking an NHL caliber backup.

That depends, which type of goalies do you typically like to service?

never know if they take back one in the trade

like, say, they traded Georgiev to the Leafs, Hutchinson could come back in the deal, that kind of thing

Stumbled on to this video. It's really cool, even though it's too long to watch the whole thing (at least at work!)

Even if I have no idea who some of the top selling artists are.

Of course I forgot the game was on.
