When Brennan Othmann and Dylan Roobroeck were again assigned to the AHL, rumbling started that new head coach Mike Sullivan veterans would choose above children. Conor Sheary’s revival, Juuso Parsinen’s Expected 3c -valveAnd the new Taylor Raddysh sets are all used to push this story. This story is based on earlier coaches and GMs that favor veterans, but that does not seem to be the case this year. The veteran trio are all stopgap -theater pieces, and they will not take stains of the Rangers prospects in the long term.
The thing with the Rangers -ProSpes is that they are not all ready. We clearly saw that with both Rooboeck and Othmann, with the first possibly jumping the last on the depth card. Othmann did not have a good camp. Roobrock had a strong camp, but he clearly had a number of other areas to work on if he wants to take the next step in his development. Nothing wrong with those two rangers prohibits are sent to the AHL.
Apart from: this was written before Perreault and Scott Morrow were again assigned to Hartford this morning. The message from the article still applies and has been updated to display this step.
The issue seems to be with Noah Laba, Gabe Perreault and Brett Berard who apparently take a rear seat to Sheary, Parsinen and Raddysh. Sheary is the only player in this veteran trio who actually looked good and has really earned his place on the Roster. Sheary will probably be the new Jimmy Vesey, signed for a contract with a short dollar in the short term after a strong PTO show. Given his earlier history with Sullivan, his Cup-Boom and the Rangers who need a strong depth, this signing is a no-brainer.
Raddysh has not had a strong camp. Parsinen has not been bad, but he did nothing to justify a guaranteed place in the Roster. The care with Raddysh and parsinen in particular is logical, not so much with Sheary. However, this is not the same coaching staff. This Rangers team, although a cup is ‘hopeful’ is in a transition year, or at least the first few months transition, as they find out.
PTO players usually make the NHL -minimum. Raddysh has a cap -hit of $ 1.5 million. Parsinen – who is not a veteran – arrival with a cap -hit of $ 1.25 million. There is absolutely nothing in one of these three contracts that will be waived and sent to the AHL. The Rangers will have to Eat a little dead seed space For Raddysh and parsen if they are not claimed, but for all purposes it is a Capwas with the Rangersprets and their entry contracts.
Rangers -ProPets do not have to be in the setup during the opening evening
The thing with the Rangers -prosps, especially those who are still in the camp, is that it is not necessary to force them in the line -up during the opening evening. “Forcing” does a lot of hard lifting here, but there is more than one definition to force a player in a line -up. The prospects of the Rangers may be ready, and that’s great! But sometimes that is not all they need. They need the right role. And sometimes, even when they are ready and the right role is available, the coaching staff needs more time to evaluate others, resulting in a * temporary * relocation to the AHL.
I think that is what will be the case for the Rangersprets. Sheary has been great and has earned his place. Parsinen needs a longer look. Raddysh looks like he needs a little more time to get his game in order. Jonny Brodzinski is a question mark. We do not know what the role of the fourth rule will be. We don’t know what the role of Matt Rempe will be.
There are many questions with the schedule that have not yet been answered. The use of October as an extensive look for veterans is just as useful as using an extensive look for the Rangersprets.
Maybe I grab straws, but would it not retain the Rangers to make definitive decisions about their experienced depth before they place children in the line -up? Throwing the Rangers -Proers in the Line -up without defined roles and without the right support, it will be set for failure. This is not a video game, where you can throw a 75 -rated child and see him grow to an 82 rating towards the end of the year. This is real life and the human factor is important.
Veterans do not take spots in the long term
The concern for veterans who take places of Rangers -prospects is again a deeply placed fear that stretches for decades of Rangers -Fandom. However, this is a different situation, because at the moment it seems that – for the first time in a long time – rules prospects are on the short list of first call -ups when time occurs. Injuries happen. Games disappear. Veterans slow down. It is a story that is as old as time for professional athletes.
Of course, we can see Sheary-Parsinen-Raddysh dress as the third line on the opening evening. But will they be the third rule in April? January? November? Probably not. Too much happens in the course of a season without taking into account the solid game of Laba, Berard and Perreault.
For me it is a win-win to let the prospects of the Rangers get a little extra time in Hartford, while the coaching staff sorting out what to do with the veterans. These veterinarians, except pars, were insurance, no long -term solutions. Parsinen was a long shot hopeful that also seems to be a short -term/stop gap solution.
Patience among Sportfans is always a tough sale, but it is now a real need. Sully is a top three coach in the NHL. Trust in the process, even if you wanted to see Perreault the season in the NHL start.
