c00kies Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 That seems like a pretty valid source right there. I assume it'll be a 1 year/1M deal, which would be a solid one for New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Assuming their RFA's re-sign that pretty much fills out the Rangers forward group. 3rd line role for Stempniak ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Solid signing. Stempniak will give any team 15-20 goals on the 3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nash - Stepan - St.Louis Kreider - Brassard - Zuccarello Hagelin - Lombardi - Stempniak Kristo - Moore - Fast Glass/Mueller Pretty solid FWD depth, J.T Miller might get in there somewhere.

RogerEpic5 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 At first I was like... Sign this guy JB if Hansen is leaving!... To late now but a real good solid 3rd liner.. Great move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs50 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nash - Stepan - St.Louis Kreider - Brassard - Zuccarello Hagelin - Lombardi - Stempniak Kristo - Moore - Fast Glass/Mueller Pretty solid FWD depth, J.T Miller might get in there somewhere. Other than Nash and Kreider that team is small man! Losing Boyle, Poliout and Dorsett will hurt in that aspect. But a really solid speedy lineup.

CanucksFanMike Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good depth signing.... Stempniak is a capable bottom six forward who is quite underrated imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big teams will feast on that forward group. Solid, yes, but if they were in the West the only way they'd make the playoffs would be because of Lundqvist.

Plum Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 All these moves NYR made (Lombardi, Mueller, Glass, Stempniak) are made to keep the depth they lost this offseason. They lost Dorsett, Boyle, Pouliot. They lost the toughness they had in the bottom 6, going to be interesting to see if they are still cup contenders when the injuries come. They got some good young talent aswell in Miller, Kristo, Haggerty, Fast. Lots of good depth for NYR but not alot of physicality. I'd take Miller over Kristo any dayMiller will probably end up the 3C for NYR unless Lombardi out plays him, otherwise I don't see Miller anywhere else in the lineup.

babych Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Solid signing. Stempniak will give any team 15-20 goals on the 3rd line. Any team except Calgary I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 That is actually a softer top 6 than ours... Except it's good enough to get to the finals in the pathetic eastern conference. They wouldn't even make the playoffs in the west. Not a single eastern team would. East is sad and they should all leave the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
