best part about it is the Rangers finally have control over his development. So whether or not there are any plans for him as a Ranger this year is secondary.

Plus, we no longer have to worry about him pulling a Hayes

Yea he's officially left the NCAA so he can't pull a Hayes

I think they can, just have to sign him to regular contract

It just got harder for Dylan McIlrath to make this team out of training camp next year.

there is no salary cap in the playoffs, so maybe the plan is to keep him in AHL until playoffs, sign him, then carry him during playoff run

I really don't know, I don't know if they are willing to burn a year of his ELC to do that.

Make him a winger like they were saying yesterday. Maybe he could take Sheppards spot next year

I think wed have to get really screwed by injuries to go to Skjei. We'd have to go down to like our 8th or 9th defenseman for Skjei to get a sniff.

the way I look at it, all hands on deck this coming playoff run.

All chips in baby. If burning a year off his ELC gives us extra depth to play until June, so be it.

Skjei is 21 years old, 6-3, 205 pounds. It isn't an 18 year old kid.

The severity of the hit aside, what a selfish play to even put yourself in position to be suspended this late in the year with your team fighting tooth and nail for a playoff spot. If he get suspended, and they miss, I am sure that he will have fun thinking about that for the whole summer.

And this is the reason why he is a liability and has often been labeled as such. He's undisciplined, his extreme weight issues aren't just a one off type of joke.

Clarke thought he was ready to turn pro at the start of the season. I think I trust Clarke's instincts on prospect development.

Sounds like the Rangers might sign him to a formal ELC soon. They just signed him to the ATO to bring him to Hartford ASAP while they continue to negotiate his ELC.

He's getting two games, maybe three. NHL Player's Safety Department is an oxymoron.

Only the Devils fire their coaches, while in a playoff spot, late in the season.

Just ask Robbie Ftorek and Claude Julien. Both fired within weeks of the start of the postseason.

this league is crazy. A referee's arm instantly goes up when a player takes one hand off his stick, but they don't call something like that

The problem is that they only punish the result not the intent

anybody know about this Artem Panarin fella?
