siddious Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Why would he come here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 He wouldn't until around April at this point, but he grew up a Rangers fan. Seems like interest would very much be mutual as long as the Rangers are still interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I mean more depth wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 He’s a bottom-six type who will probably need a fair amount of time marinating in the AHL especially given his size. I don’t think any team is going to fast track him to a significant role. He might as well do it with his favorite team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I feel like these kinds of moves rarely work out, but it doesn't hurt to get more warm bodies in the system. you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I mean, I don't have the data to support it, but even if they rarely work, when they do, they really do, so it's kind of a low-risk, high-reward method. Some really high-profile players in the NHL were undrafted free agents. Giordano, Panarin, Bozak, Zucarello, Krug, Marchessault, Gourde, Sheary, Schmidt, Pionk, Goodrow, etc. Bozak, Krug, Sheary, Pionk, etc. were all NCAA signings.

Phil Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I mean, you can get hung up on the phrasing, if you want, but my point is that this kind of thing can work, and costs teams very little to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
