Toggle Dark Mode. Grabner has 25 goals and six assists in 59 games this season, and the trade makes him the 12th player to spend time with the Rangers, the Islanders and the Devils. The numbers won’t look amazing on the KHL level, nor should they. Excellent first pass, keeps a tight gap and locks down the low slot. It could be either Igor (more conventional) or Yegor (more phonetic).Anyway, you’re not here for that. At the Worried about him being signed with SKA through next year, SKA being super rich, and him not wanting to come to North America? DISPLAY SETTING. Expecting a point-per-game is remarkably unrealistic. Very smart and NHL ready.There is offense to his two-way game (obviously, but some people throw that term around too loosely) as well. Will that continue in New Jersey? I think there’s this stigma about a 1st round pick being THE thing to get in a move like this, but that’s not really how it works.
According to the same combination of factual reports and rumors, Max Domi and Mark Letestu are also potential targets. The tangled web known as the NHL rumor mill has linked Matt Cullen, Michael Grabner, and Evander Kane to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Teams were kicking the tires on both, and now that Grabner is gone it should heat up the market for future moves.
He can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.Grabner, a 30-year-old Austrian, has also played for Vancouver and Toronto during his nine-year N.H.L. If the Devils go on to miss the playoffs (which is possible, they are by no means a sure thing) then it could be in the 30’s. A lot of people are mad Gorton didn’t wait for a better return, but you can’t do that and expect to come away with roses every time. About his game: He’s a solid two-way defenseman who is a good skater and has great vision. In the end, this is a great pickup for the Rangers, division rival or not. They have missed the playoffs only once in the last 12 seasons, and the lone absence came down to the last day of the 2009-10 regular season.Grabner and his fellow forward Rick Nash were scratched from the Rangers’ lineup for Thursday’s 3-1 loss at Montreal, fueling speculation that trades might be near.Nash, who also will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, is expected to be traded before Monday’s deadline.Nash, 33, has 18 goals and 10 assists in 60 games this season.

In the right system/fit, he’s capable of scoring 20+ goals a year and adding offense — as you saw in New York. According to our own foreign corespondent Alex Nunn: Alex also went on to tell me Rykov might not be “the guy” but he will be “the guy standing next to the guy quietly going about his business.” Steve Kournianos seems to agree.Rykov is a very good defenseman who can compliment a kid like Skjei or Shattenkirk.
As we’ve come to better understand the draft, there’s different levels of first round picks.
Russian/KHL situation likely reason for getting passed over in 2015 and going late in 2016. The New York Rangers made the first trade … It needs to be transliterated to the Roman alphabet, and since he isn't yet playing in North America, we don't know how he's going to spell it yet. He is in the final year of an eight-year, $62.4 million contract that he signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets, who traded him to the Rangers in July 2012.Ryan McDonagh, the Rangers’ captain who has not played since a 6-1 loss to Boston on Feb. 7 because of an upper-body injury, has also been mentioned in trade speculation.

His calling card seems to be his breakout passes and his ability to move the puck out of the zone. Playing against men for one of the best teams in the KHL, Rykov has seen his stock rise. He’s a speedy player that plays good defense and can kill penalties at his core. NYC w/ guys he knows (Buchnevich, Shestyorkin) is a much better personal situation for him than NJ too.Rykov is teammates with Igor Shestyorkin, who the Rangers have watched multiple times this year. Yeah, I don’t care about this and neither should you. All that said, he was a UFA at the end of the year, theoretically could come back to New York (although I’m not sure I want that at his reported ask of four years), and the Rangers aren’t making the playoffs. The shocking part wasn’t that Michael Grabner was moved, but rather where he was moved. He scored a career-best 42 goals in the 2014-15 season. Unfortunately, the Penguins are the most followed team heading towards the NHL trade deadline Feb. 26, and […] I don’t know.
At 17 he had 21 points in 42 MHL (the KHL’s AHL) games.
This renaissance of his career on Broadway is wonderful, but it might be a case of the right place at the right time. Can only repeat what I said to someone else earlier: Have to think NYR did their homework before pulling the trigger. A lot of people rush to his Elite Prospects page and find themselves underwhelmed at his current numbers, but at the professional level prospect’s production aren’t anywhere near apples to apples from what a defenseman in juniors would put up. Let’s break down the trade. career.
