still only 21 and a child in a mans' league
it's a learning process and experience

they sat Kakko when needed (game 6 conference final)
they sat Chytil a couple of times over the years

the organization is pretty good at keeping the children's eyes on the prize

the only exception I can recall in recent times is Del Zotto
Torts tried to mold him into a pro's pro but... I guess porn stars are more fun to hang around with :shrug

the Murdoch story is well worn (he came to the blueshirts as a 20 year old)

The New York Rangers have signed forward Jimmy Vesey to a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension.

Vesey will carry a cap hit of $800,000 under the new deal. He was previously scheduled for unrestricted free agency this summer.

Himmy's here to stay. 🗽

Details: https://t.co/XZpVgRQQlV pic.twitter.com/BPoJOFXPJG

— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) January 4, 2023
The 29-year-old has six goals and 12 points in 38 games this season, his first since returning to the Rangers in the off-season.

Vesey first signed with the Rangers as a free agent in 2016 and spent three seasons with the team before joining the Buffalo Sabres in 2019.

He had eight goals and 15 points in 68 games with the New Jersey Devils last season.

In 460 career games with the Rangers, Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and Devils, Vesey has 78 goals and 147 points.

blowing a 2 goal lead is NEVER a good look - losers points suck

I am beginning to see the way it is with Shesterkin
the sample size is big enough now
he doesn't show the mental toughness to lock down any given game
Rangers fans have been spoiled by The King - who like Mariano Rivera for the Yankees...
if he was handed a lead in the 3rd - BANK IT - he closed out the game - almost automatic

Shesterkin shows he can be had
He shows that fans in other buildings can get to him mentally (IGOR IGOR)
personally I'd like Garden faithful to stop with the IGOR - as it's used way too often
and
it's now a weapon in a hostile building
it doesn't help the kid in any way

he's a good goalie - maybe even elite
but I don't feel confidence that he's a "winner" :shrug

Ryan Reaves has always lived by the principle of, “You go where you’re wanted” — and it became clear earlier this season that New York no longer was the place.

No one is to blame for how Reaves slid down the Rangers depth chart by November, when he was scratched for eight of the club’s first 10 games of the month before he was traded to Minnesota on Nov. 23 for a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Reaves simply wasn’t providing what the Rangers needed, and what the organization did need was cap space.

Chris Drury did what was best for his team at that point, but as good as the Rangers president and general manager’s intentions were, Reaves feels there could’ve been better communication.

The 35-year-old Reaves partly refuted the notion that he requested a trade, saying that he only pressed for it once he finally received clarity on his standing with the team and heard from his agent that a deal was already in the works.

“That’s a half truth and a half lie,” Reaves said of the trade request before the Rangers took on the Wild Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. “I had been scratched a little bit and I asked what was going on. They said, ‘You’re not going to be playing every game.’ Then I talked to my agent and he found out that there was a trade that was being worked on for a while already with Minnesota. Once I heard that, well, if you’re trying to trade me, I’m not going to stick around just to wait and linger and wait for something else to happen.

“If you’re trying to trade me, you don’t want me, so then I’m going to push it forward and ask for a trade. But I’m not the one who put it in motion, we’ll put it that way.”

General managers aren’t obligated to keep players in the loop on possible trades. If they want to do right by their players, however, there should at least be an open line of communication when it comes to their usage. According to Reaves, he was the one to initiate the conversation with the Rangers about his role.

For a veteran who was incredibly well-liked and respected in the Rangers locker room, Reaves has the right to feel like management should’ve been more upfront.

“I think I’ve always been honest with my game and with myself to management and coaches,” he said. “For something like that to be going on and not communicated to me, it was a little frustrating. Left a little bitter taste in my mouth, for sure. It’s a business, it is what it is. I ended up somewhere where I’m wanted and I’m happy.”

After he was traded from Vegas to New York in July 2021, Reaves was candid when discussing who he is as a player. And when the writing was on the wall at the end of the Rangers’ playoff run last season, which concluded with him as a healthy scratch in Games 5 and 6, Reaves seemed to carry on as usual while making a conscious effort not to be a distraction.


That was all the Rangers could’ve asked of Reaves, who probably could’ve asked more of the Rangers.

Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant, who coached Reaves for roughly 2 ½ seasons in Vegas and always spoke glowingly of him, said he was caught off guard to hear Reaves felt the way he did about the communication regarding his standing with the team.

“I don’t know how to answer that,” he said. “A little surprised.”

Chris Kreider will not play for the Rangers against the Dallas Stars on Thursday because of an upper-body injury.

The forward left in the third period of a 4-3 shootout win against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. He has 30 points (19 goals, 11 assists) in 42 games this season.

Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said he doesn't believe the injury is long-term, and that Kreider will be reevaluated in a few days.

Alexis Lafreniere will take Kreider's spot on the top line with Mika Zibanejad and Kaapo Kakko on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; MSG, BSSW, ESPN+, SN NOW).

Looked like it was his shoulder :-

The New York Rangers claimed forward Jake Leschyshyn off waivers Wednesday from the Vegas Golden Knights, while defeceman Casey Fitzgerald was claimed by the Florida Panthers from the Buffalo Sabres.

#NYR claim C Jake Leschyshyn off waivers from Vegas. 2017 2nd round pick, 22 GP 0-0-0 for VGK this season. Adds some forward depth and a lefty shot.

— Arthur Staple (@StapeAthletic) January 11, 2023
Leschyshyn, 23, has no points in 22 games this season. He had two goals and four assists in 41 games last year and is the son of former NHL defenceman Curtis Leschyshyn.

Reaves: comes off as a little bit of sour grapes - he thinks the Rangers are probably closer to winning than Minnesota, and hell... NYC is more fun to hang out and live in
He's a player who knows his days are numbered and wanted to play - sorry it's a business and you are getting fully paid on that contract

Kreider: did not look good when he got hit - he's tough and he knew immediately he had a problem with the wing - I'd shut him down through the All Star Game at this point and let it heal fully so he's ready in the playoffs opposed to have a nagging shoulder all the way

Jake Leschyshyn: :?:
I looked up his stats and the pro sample is small and shows nothing to be excited about :shrug
not exactly lighting up the AHL or the NHL - the Knights are giving up on him already :-k

agreed
they didn't give up much and the only goal against was the result of a bad change on the PK

it's why you have to watch each game until the clock reads 00:00 8)

Breadman showed tenacity/toughness getting the puck deep on the winning rush :clap

paging Mr Lafrenier... Mr Lafrenier ** time to show up as Kreider will be out and it shows

the intensity was that of a playoff game last night in my opinion
fun to watch

Talk of the rangers interested in Timo Meier :-
it's quite a hit on the cap for a guy who nets 0.70 points per game (not bad production)
for 300+ points to be -30+ for a career of 440 games is an eyebrow raiser :shock:

he's young but his stats show he's been on the wrong end of goals an awful lot in the last 4 seasons :-k
maybe he just needs a new voice in the room to listen to :-k

gotta get on the right side of the puck more than he's been showing in my humble opinion

they didn't get pushed around

much of the problem is just not throwing the puck to the net and
looking for the beautiful play instead of the dirty ones that go in

Broonz look scary good - they can play any type of game you want and still beat you ](*,)

I'm just hoping that they shoot their wad for the regular season and perhaps
can be had in a series

wishful thinking, I know
