The words Luke, followed by Schenn can get you arrested in Toronto.

Not all bad in Toronto. Leafs got JVR in return for him.

That bad? I actually like what I've seen from the guy. Has he lived up to where he got drafted? No. But I don't think he's a liability out there. Bring him here and just let him know his job is to be a stay at home dman, let McD do his thing, keep the crease clear for Hank and stand up for his teammates when necessary. I don't think we'd be disappointed to be honest.

Have you watched Luke Schenn? He's slower than Dan Girardi. The only thing Schenn can do is what Mcilrath can do. Mcilrath is younger. Why do the Rangers need two of those?

I don't think it's happening, I think with Beukeboom here now McIlrath is going to get lots more playing time and Holden will be the rotation

Agreed 100%

A lot of penguins fans saying today that Schultz isn't as bad defensively as his reputation suggests. I just don't think he was on the Penguins long enough for the fans to see his deficiencies, kind of like how we all thought Yandle's rep of being a liability was overblown because he was so steady defensively only to have him become a ticking time bomb this past season

- rangerdanger94

I think you have to take our comments in context. Some out there had said he is the way first defenseman in the league in his own end. That just wasn't the case. There are holes there, but I believe he can improve....in the right system.

The Pens don't dont spend a ton of time in their own end. Against a cycle.....Schultz is not good. But, for the fast paced game of puck retrieval, head up, skate it out or get it to a speeding forward he's got a future. The Pens forwards limit the opponent's ability to forecheck because of their great neutral zone clogging and speed.

On the Pens, he's a solid bottom pair guy who could have time to develop the rest of his game. On a team constructed differently, he may be a huge liability and never reach that next level. It would be a bad signing for the Rangers. A good signing for the Pens. Just different styles.

Stay the Heck away from Luke. If you're already running Girardi and Staal out there he'd be a huge liability.

I hope AV trusts Beuk enough to let him actually run the D. We will find out what part was Ulfie and what part is AV.

I think we can pretty much say if the defense improves this year, Beuk will get the credit, if it continues to slide, AV will get the blame

Maybe Gorton is just waiting to explode all over the place with a flurry of moves. I am waiting for the explosion.

Thanks for sharing. In no way shape or form was I trying to insinuate Schultz = Yandle and trust me, most Rangers fans wanted him back.
In all honesty, what was the view of Schultz in Pittsburgh?

- airjan23


He was good in a sheltered role, where they controlled his minutes, his opposition, and zone starts.

So we can say we are basically watching a boring porno waiting for that money shot. According to the other Matt, Gorton blew his load at applebee's.
