Jan Levine: NYR rally for 4-3 OT win over BOS after debacle vs. NJ, lineup decisions Upcoming final week of preseason games have meaning

love me some Sammy Blais

Wall looked really steady last night. His Hartford numbers last year were pretty bad but still wonder if Georgiev has that backup spot locked up. He’s been the least impressive goalie this preseason IMO. Trade value can’t be great right now though.

Regarding Krav, what a shame we have to worry about him throwing a fit and going back to Russia if he doesn’t make the team. He’s an NHL player, but agree with Jan that there may be better options to fill a 3rd line energy role if that’s the direction Gallant wants to go.

Well if he was truly an NHL player he wouldnt be in a situation where he wont make the team. He has been truly unimpressive so far. There are a few players who are having an unimpressive pre season.

Ive said from the get go that Krav for me is a tradable asset.

If Krav has a tantrum, is out for a period of time, I think we give Pajuniemi a look on the RW with Goodrow and Chytil.

I also furthermore, and Im sure Ill get flack for this because of my stance on him, but where the fk has Chytil been? Is he even playing?

I want to see a line of Goodrow, Barron, Pajuniemi on the ice one of these games to see how they play. I think that could be a good 3rd line that has a little bit of everything.

I’m with you on all points. A trade needs to happen, so we have to be prepared to see players we like get moved.

I prefer that 3rd line as well as far as providing the purpose a 3rd line should. If this was a development year, I would say play the highest upside talents, but since all indications are competing for the playoffs I think you need to ice the best players for each role.

After demanding a trade to get more playing time it looks like lemieux may not even make the opening night roster for the kings

Maybe they got sick of seeing him on his arse more than his feet too.

He might as well play without a stick because all he does is skate up and down the ice. He’s brutal with the puck

Rangers have made their next cuts...

Cuylle going back to OHL.

Schneider, Pajuniemi, Robertson, Wall and Huska all sent to Wolfpack.

This means we get to see McKegg for another game!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

Additionally, Geerston was claimed off waivers by the Devils.

Some guy who's name I heard more of during the games than Chytil's.

Yeah Interested to see where Lehner is going with all this. He never played for AV as well so could be hearsay

Looks like it’s more than just Lehner but Lehner has been very vocal about the leagues treatment of players

There had to be a tipping point for Lehner. He made some comments about Vegas on his personal twitter.

Apparently Krav didn’t go with the team on the “team bonding” trip. Any other player I would say no big deal, but for him, don’t want him feeling isolated and then sitting in the press box opening night. Hopefully he’s learned from last year and can self motivate.

I am with you brother.. Chytil does nothing for me and IMO has been in the league long enough to know what you have in him
