Calvin de Haan Fallout, NY Rangers 2019 Design class, more

Sunrise, Fla.-Die Rangers scratched a 5: 3 comeback against the Florida Panthers on Monday in the Amerant Bank Arena, but the end result is far less consistent than some of the big picture concerns that associated the second last game of this dwindling season.

New York was removed from the Playoff dispute on Saturday, so that we could be concentrated on topics that affect the future direction of the franchise.

Revaluation of design class 2019

Almost six years after he was the second player, who was selected in a basic draft for the Rangers, Matthew Robertson gave his NHL debut in short circumstances.

The 24-year-old defender has worked four full seasons in the AHL and never reached the ceiling. The blues shirts selected him in the second round of the 2019 draft. They desired the 6-foot 4, 211 cunts for its size and mobility, but he failed the physical way and his feeling for the game has stayed behind.

It took the Rangers so that he finally got his chance, and the long probability that he – at least not in New York – reduces the trade value that he once had.

Despite all of this, it was difficult not to feel good for Robertson if he had his trip at that time.

“It was my dream to wear red, white and blue since his appointment in 2019,” he said. “There are many emotions, just step on the ice and wore the jersey. There were many emotions and many nerves. I was just very excited and proud of my family and everyone who helped me.”

The native Edmonton, who all smiled after the game, said his parents and girlfriend came in for the occasion. When they were combined with the former Norris Trophy winner Adam Fox, it made it much sweeter.

“Just seeing that he was paired with Adam Fox this morning, he made it much easier for me to just jump in there and only concentrate on my game,” said Robertson, who ended with two shots and a plus setting in 15:24. “He is one of the best D-Men in the league. It is something I will remember forever.”

It was a feel -good story in one season that had too few of them, but the final judgment of this design class from 2019 will not be friendly to the Rangers.

It started with so much hope for the number 2 of the overall selection of Kaapo Kakko, who had lightning, but was often buried in the lower six and never completely bloomed in New York. His relatively disappointing term of office ended shortly after the Finnish striker had broadcast his complaints about the healthy cat on December 15, which led to a trade with Seattle for a modest return from defense lawyer Will Borgen and picks of the third and sixth round.

It will be a case study for organizational development – or the lack of it – for the coming years.

Kakko was one of eight Rangers selection in this design, including four in the first 68 picks.

Robertson was the second election in 49th place, followed by Karl Henriksson in the second round in 58th place. The underground Swedish center was also overwhelmed and did not rose via Ahl Hartford, where he only scored 40 points (18 goals and 22 assists) this season.

Next came Zac Jones, who soon exceeded Robertson in the defense lawyer’s chopping order, but had trouble earning the trust of several NHL trainers. He was scratched in six of the last eight games before returning to the line -up on Monday, but he has never performed in five seasons in more than 45 games due to the decisions of the coach.

There is a decent chance that everyone will be elsewhere except for one member of this design class until the beginning of next season, with the only holdover being the sixth striker Adam Edström (No. 161).

Who would have thought?

Othmann and Perreault return; Berard scratched

After the head coach Peter Laviolet, Peter Laviolette, had unsolkingly scratched the top two prospects of the organization in the last two games in Florida.

Both played in the top six, with Othmann once again united with Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trokeck, while Perreault was hit in a line with JT Miller and Mika Zibanejad. The former trio achieved strong results together in their previous four games and exceeded the opponents 6-0 with an advantage of 77.11% XGF and 15: 2 for the opportunities of high-Danger classification. This made the first decision to remove Othmann so much more puzzling.

“You don’t really like to sit out at all times, but we have a lot of strikers here,” said Othmann, who ended with two goals, a giveaway and zero shots in 12:34 toi. “We have a lot of people and many people earn chances and chance. … they are not excessively happy, but decisions are made and it is a way they sit with.”

While laviolet raised this false Monday, another puzzling line -up made it.

Brett Berard, who scored two goals against the islanders in the 9-2 victory on Thursday and has recently praised “really striking”, took on the healthy Kratzer-Merry-Go-Round.

In the meantime, a few more 24-and-under-striker-Matt Rempe and Juuso Pärsinen-Tore achieved.

In the last three games, couples have now been five points (two goals and three templates) after they published the last six.

“It’s all about these effects in the game,” said Laviolette. “Sometimes you see it and I think you are consistent, I have found that the last three games in which he was here is on the puck, he is playing. He is defensive. He is a young player, a big guy and he played some good games.”

Calvin de Haan Fallout

A player who consistently got the short end of the stick is Calvin de Haan, who was scratched for the 19th game in a row.

The 33-year-old defender, who was purchased in a trade on March 2 with Colorado-dismissed himself on Sunday on Sunday.

The lengthy contribution was: “I am frustrated, and every competitor who says that they would be happy in this position. After playing 3 games for the team and giving 2-0-1, I thought I might have the opportunity to jump into the set-up and win some games.

“I helped win these games that I played, maybe? Maybe not? But we still won and collected some important points to climb the ranking,” he added. “I understand the youth movement in the NHL and I get older in the hockey years and I may not play every single night. I have the feeling that I can still contribute to it and help the teams.

“I’m not trying to be the villain or attract attention or throw the shadow into the organization. I would have preferred that a Scrum setting was chatting about how my time was going with the Rangers. As a player, you have to respect the constellation decisions, whether they like them or not, it is simply frustratingly not able to be able to compete, which I would like to understand. Everyone understands. “

I will be ahead now …

I was hoping that I could express in a Scrum setting compared to a quote when I went online 30 seconds later. I said what I said because I am frustrated, and every competitor who says that she …

Before the game on Monday, laviolette was asked whether he has been spoken to De Haan ever since.

“I did it and I had conversations with him all the time,” said the coach. “And I understand it. We chatted well yesterday. He is frustrated that he doesn’t play. All players want to play.”

The thing is, De Haan’s upset is far from being a one -off.

He is one of several players who vocalized the frustration this season, be it over the ice age or how they were treated by an organization that continues to achieve PR. The list of those who went to the stock exchange with their dissatisfaction include Jones, Kakko, Jimmy Vesey and the captain Jacob Troubba, who promotes curiosity whether there are others who do not yet have to pronounce.

Laviolette defended the communication lines between the coaching staff and the players, but it is due to the view that the fear of team president Chris Drury is also directed.

“Some of the players have expressed it because they want to play, and I understand that. … they don’t want players who sit, don’t play well,” said Laviolette. “I understand (de Haans) frustration too. But before that there were many conversations just to talk about why. I will not go into them, but there were conversations that we only had to explain things.”
