Gorton constructed a blueline for Quinn’s first season. It consists of a potentially solid #2 dman who has played most the year like he’s a third pairing guy, a physical defenseman who is no longer NHL caliber, an offensive defenseman who is in the back 9 of his career and couldn’t even defend when he WAS relevant, two 20 years olds and an often injured, often concussed 31 year old who has had to overachieve in order to be average this year.
Then you have McQuaid and Claesson who look like top pair guys compared to the rest of the heap.

The thing is, imho, chytil is a tweener which is unfortunate for him.
He has elite talent but isn’t an elite scorer or point producer.
If he’s an elite scorer or point producer, you don’t mind if he’s crappy in 2 of 3 zones.
Guys that aren’t elite scorers or point producers need to be noticeable in other areas or it’s a problem…chytil isn’t either of those and is terrible in two zones.
He’s the Diet Coke of players, not quite elite enough and does nothing else.

I think the rangers on this powerplay should take the puck from behind their own net, skate out about 20 ft, turn and shoot it on Georgiev.
Keep doing it until they score 2 on him so the islanders lead.

The most ironic part.
If we had resigned Boyle and stralman, we would have beat the lightning that year, cuz we would have had they wouldn’t have. Add to us, subtract from them. Beginning of the downfall, letting those two guys leave, or in boyle’s Case making him want to leave (the coach, not management)

Stralman wanted to stay and Sather wanted Dan Boyle more. An utterly stupid idea. Boyle wanted out just like Callahan, because AV though they were both 4th liners. Neither were getting PP time and first or second like minutes like Torts gave them. I was sorry to see Boyle go. Not so Tax Free.

TYM that was the beginning of the end. If they had held onto Stralman with a similar deal (+/-state income tax factor) and maybe made an offer on Niskanen instead of extending both girardi and Staal the blueline would still have a couple of reliable vets to this day.
