Jan Levine: Top line, possible additional combinations, D pairings, Quinn etc. A potpourri of topics as camp opens...

I actually like Joe Morrow in on the PTO more than I would have liked Claesson given another shot

slight groan seeing Kravstov playing with Haley and Howden right now

Agreed, but split squads. Unlike many teams, NYR has some good players on all 3. After a couple days it will start to get clearer

Vancouver has an all AHL 3rd squad who gets less time on ice.

Agree to disagree, but hope to be proven wrong

Getting Morrow could be a plan B if ADA holds out it seems. He's not great, but I would trust him out there at this point over Raddysh on a regular basis.

If you are replying to to Morrow thing, gotta side with Jim here. Claesson plays LD, we really don't have an issue there. RD well that's another issue.

Why do we have to wait until Wednesday? This is bull poop.

Prob gonna get shutout 7-0.

Marner's agent said two teams presented him with an offer sheet and Barnaby said it was Minnesota and Columbus

I wish we could have lived in a world where Minnesota got him and gave up all the picks. Not only would they have all the albatross contracts, they could have had no draft picks to get them out of the mess.

I wonder how a franchise can rotate general managers with each successive manager being worse than the previous one.

Columbus doesn't have 2nd and 3rd round picks so their offer obviously was the 4 first round pick variety

I really don't blame Marner for not wanting to sign with either team

Yeah, Columbus would have been screwed as well. Makes you wonder if these RFAs are signing because there are no attractive alternatives out there. Anyone who has a reasonable foundation to build around, really couldn't add him to the cap. Also wonder how many of these RFAs were hoping we were not getting Trouba/Panarin as we could at least in theory be a decent option. Much nicer than Minnesota/Columbus at the very least.

#NYRangers coach David Quinn on Jacob Trouba: “He comes as advertised. He can shoot it; he can pass it; he’s got a mean streak to him, and there’s really no nonsense to his game. It’s no mystery why he’s had success in this league.

Quotes aren't working... Regarding the offer sheet from Minnesota to Marner, that had to have been Fenton before he was fired. I can't see Guerin doing that. Maybe that was the last straw for Fenton before getting the axe.

It might have been, but reports made it seem like it was fairly recent. I dunno if the Spurgeon extension is a good start for Guerin either.

my Kreider love aside, I can see Trouba as a captain candidate

Really?

Didn't think there was any flexibility with your love of Kreider!

Agree though --- he could be a future captain, maybe next season. I think we go another year with just "A" s for now....

me too, I think one thing you want to do is give the captaincy to someone who isn't going anywhere anytime soon and he certainly isn't going anywhere

What's the O/U on when Kakko has a letter? I'll say year 4.

Tony D better take the deal on the table quick

Here’s another shot from Keane. Have to think his chances of making the team increase each day Tony DeAngelo isn’t here. #NYR

sounds like good bet

especially if they give it to Zibinajed who only has 3 years left on deal anyway

I really think we have a gem in Keane. I think it would be a big mistake if we let him break camp though. Guy probably needs at least one year in the A. Has talent, but still seems a bit raw to me.
