Jan Levine: Building the perfect Rangers team - 1988-present - picking the fourth line Nine selected, three to go....

Jan,
The poll says to vote for two, yet the second vote says,"You've already voted."

Let me see if I can fix it. I may need to change the header since we end up with a first and second team

You really think all these wingers were better for the Rangers than Rick Nash??

It wouldn't be "all the wingers". Jan is trying to do this by line. So are Jagr and Gartner better, I would say yes.

My point was, and is, that Nash is not mentioned anywhere throughout this series, and he can, and has played either side. There is no way he should not have been on the ballot(s).

He was in the 1st blog. I really liked Nash, defended him constantly on here, but there are only so many spots for 1st line right wingers.

My bad-thanks for the link. Something to consider is that he has been a very good 2nd/3rd line guy for Team Canada in the past. But, if your readers aren't fans of his he'll have to be off this roster.

Despite the fact that I despise the Rangers, how can you not vote for the HMO line?

It's not about what line he plays on for the perpetually-stacked national team, it's where he primarily played for the Rangers. By that rational, Patrice Bergeron is a great 3rd/4th line center.

Get your logic and reason out of here, good sir. HMO of GTFO.

Edit: Craig MacTavish is awesome (as a hockey player).

Let's keep it like that.

Based upon role in any. Parameters were not just to load the team and place first liners on the fourth line but construct the team as if it was a team during the regular season. In the Olympic with loaded rosters, then a third or fourth line placement makes sense and works. Not in the contact of the parameters for creating this team. Plus I am a huge Nash fan and wouldn’t list him on the third or fourth line here.

Let's keep it like that.

You see Jimbo's boy at the Hlinka tournamnet. Gotta tank for another year and get a real winger who knows how to score.

Won second place, threw temper tantrum and threw the medal into the crowd.

Unanimously hailed as a "fierce competitor."

Great news for NSH, not so great news for any of the other 30 teams that were planning on UFA shopping in 2019: Defenceman Ryan Ellis has agreed to an eight-year extension with the Preds. AAV of $6.25M. Extension kicks in for the 19-20 season.
