Location: Brisbane, Australia | I think they moved a 4th and 7th .. and a journeyman.. and picked up a solid NHL stay at home D man.. who partnered with a Skeji or Shattenkirk might actual make the Rangers better. The problem with Skeji and Shattenkirk is they play very little D.. and McQuaid plays D.. so I think this is a great deal and certainly worth hanging onto .. they will have a bunch of Kids.. Staal is getting older and Smith was terrible..he could be their best blue liner walking in off the street. and for nothing. great deal |

| Well, it’s about ****ing time.
This is the first indication from the current coach/GM combo that they’re aware of the need for some EFFECTIVE physical presence on this team (aging enforcers don’t count). I’m encouraged by this. |

Would be pretty awesome... if Hajek earns the spot of course....Smith and Claesson are there in case he's not.
If Smith brings his game back a
Smith McQuaid 3rd pair would be hard to play against

Absolutely. If nothing else but to build trade value, but I'd love his game to be NHL ready. Guy has skill, and plays with an edge when firing on all cylinders |

When has he exactly been "firing on all cylinders"? He must have been holding back for the extent of his NHL career so far, cause he hasn't been anything near good so far.
Maybe he needs a cylinder replacement..... |

| DeAngelo is another in a long list including Kreider, Vesey, Zibanejad, Hayes, Skjei, Buchnevich, Smith, Shattenkirk, and Namestnikov, that need a reboot after the cylinder replacement. Its up to Quinn to get all players playing to their max. Dumbo is gone because he didn't and couldn't. I think at this point in time the Rangers have no idea where DeAngelo's max bar is. And its up to Quinn to find out. |

Maybe you missed where I said his game has yet to translate to the NHL. He has to put it all together is what I meant. |

| Any time the Rangers get a giver and not a receiver I’m in. You will hear the fans approval the first time McQuaid educates a transgressor. Welcome Adam McQuaid.

| I love the McQuaid. If they were going to add one vet, he would be it. DeAngelo stinks and now he won't make the team. They can put together a 4th line that can actually score some. |

You're putting two RD together and two LD together
Skjei-McQuaid
Staal-Shattenkirk
would make sense to me.
Past that you're probably looking at a combination of Claesson and Smith/Hajek/Deangelo/Pionk wtih Gilmour and Lindgren probably on the bubble. Lindgren could use a little AHL conditioning |

Wanna switch him with Claesson? Fine...
I'm hoping Hajek gets that spot, of course. Maybe Smith is back to 2 season's ago form, and he can go there... Till then I have O'Gara there since he finished with the team last year

Location: USA | Based on the first preseason game, Claesson should be much higher than O'Gara. I don't think O'Gara has much of a shot at the NHL roster.
Claesson was a pleasant surprise. I originally had him slotted for third pair but he could move up a bit. Hajek will almost definitely need some AHL experience. I don't see him making the jump from WHL to the NHL. Don't rush these guys. I'd rather have useless vets back there to keep the roster spot warm and let the prospects develop. |
