NFT: New York Rangers TRADE:

The NYR send Lemeiux to LAK for a 4th Rd pick in the upcoming draft.

Bummer. Liked his energy but they needed to make room for Kravtsov.

Will be interesting to see who slides to the 4th line. I assume it will be a rotation of Gauthier and Phil D.
Kravtsov

shouldnt be playing on the 4th line tho.
He won't be on the 4th line  
I think he will be on the third with Laffy and Chytil.

Gauthier and Phil D will split time on the 4th line.

That's a young line, gotta make sure Fox and Lindgren is on the ice alot with them.
Not really sure what this accomplishes

Lemieux is an overall mediocre player, but he was the only pest we had

He looked VERY bad getting his head pumched in at the end of the game the other night. Thats all I got.
They're loading up

For an off-season trade for a C. It also makes room for Kravtsov while getting rid of a forward who they didn't have minutes for and were possibly going to lose for nothing. This is all about positioning themselves ahead of this coming offseason. Kills three birds with one stone. Good move. Lemiuex is a nobody.
I like this

He was leading the league in penalty minutes with next to no production to compensate.
A stiff no thanks

on offering an extension.
yes, ok,  
ColHowPepper : 3/27/2021 11:18 pm : link
but for all the skill players the Rangers are boasting, and yet to come (Panjuniemi, Barron) they still need players who can win in the trenches, especially come Playoffs (likely not 2021). Not saying Lemieux is a keeper, but team needs some blend of guts and grind to complement skill.

Yea....am I the only one who hated every minute Lemieux was on the ice? People hate on Howden, but he is a far better player than Lemieux in my opinion.

Lemieux was TERRIBLE. I wanted him to work out badly too.
Hopefully it signals

it's Kravtsov time, talented and cheap.

I think when they originally traded for him  
Gman11 : 3/28/2021 7:10 am : link
they thought Lemieux would have some offense to his game. He really had nothing except he was willing to mix it up. No offense, no defense. Eh, see ya.
gonna stick with his Traktor #74?

We sometimes view things

Through a prism of conventional wisdom even though current realities don't reflect it. "Grit" doesn't carry you through the season or playoffs. Scoring does.

If you don't believe me, take a look at which teams led the league in scoring last season and which teams are leading in the standings this season.

Hint: It isn't the teams rolling out a gritty bottom 6.
