Sounds like a bigger Dan Carrcillo to me. All the Antics aside, one thing Carcillo could do well was forcheck.

He is nothing like Dan Carcillo.

Rangers toughness really worked out last night

New guy Blais taking 6mins of penalties, resulting in 2 PP GA. Looks like he's off to a solid start

Not expecting much from the latest 2 signings, but a little toughness would help the Flyers from getting pushed around as much. The days of Goons are gone, but having somebody big/tough enough to stick up for a team mate is good as long as the player is not a detriment on the ice. A few years ago, Simmonds was basically the teams enforcer, but that didn't work out so well, especially when he was our #1 scorer. Having your top scorer off the ice for 5 minutes for fighting is not helpful. Hopefully one of these guys can actually skate and drop the gloves if needed?

Somebody mentioned Pitlick before. He was a high energy guy, who's good work ethic rubbed off on his teammates. I was sorry to see him go.

Him and Risto were on the same team before. Imagine if they were a D pair.

Patrick Brown is on the COVID-19 protocol list and is unavailable. Ristolainen is day-to-day.

Pullock signs for 6.15 per season. That's a sweet deal for NYI. With that signing does this help shape up how much RR will be paid? Or does it have no effect?

Lou is a mastermind. One of the best at signing players and getting buy in.

Those two plus zadorov were rushed by Buffalo. If they kept the three their d would have good size.

Haha 4 MIN was offsetting. He actually played with some jam, but their lineup if those big guys aren’t getting the job done it’s an automatic loss. Say that about most teams but rangers bottom 6 is not scoring much

Any comment I’ve seen has suggested fans will love him and he’s hardworking.
- arichardson22


I’d rather read comments here from people who never heard of him.

Small chance we would. But seeing rumors Chicago would no move strome. Would there be any interest. 3 mil this year. Rfa. Not sure who we’d send back to make money work.

I believe the reason they are looking to move him are due to cap issues so not sure they would want salary coming back.

Would depend on how the other centers perform to start the season imo. Then how long is Hayes really out for? As someone said not sure they can make the money work.

I thought the same. The per value is crazy high I think. I love him as a player though.

How are they even comparables? BK hasn't broken 50 pts yet. Marner was coming off a 97 pt season. Nylander 61 pt season.
