[Signing] Rangers re-sign Emerson Etem


Recommended Posts

Too bad we don't have something equivalent to Carl Hagelin that could've fetched us Etem. Dude has mad skills, didn't score much in the playoffs but he had this ONE goal that was insane... [/quote

Yup, I will always associate him with that sick backhand cheese whether his career flops or flourishes. It was absolutely beautiful.

For anybody curious as to which goal we're talking about.

WARNING: The following footage is so filthy you'd have to take a shower... twice.

Etem and the 23rd ovr for kesler would have been a good deal.

yeah his 10 points would have been way better than boninos 39. I'm sure he would have lead the forwards in blocked shots and shut down the Thorntons, Kopitars and Getzlafs. When 3 of our dmen were hurt I'm sure he would have stepped up and played big minutes on the blue line.

Thanks coryberg. I love Etem, but people need to stop whining about the return in the Kesler deal. Bones is a boss at a steal of a cap hit, McCann was a great late pick that has every bit as much potential as Kesler ever did, and Sbisa is a player that brings a skillset on the blueline that this team needs. His improvement was steady last year with increasingly challenging situational play, better decisions and consistent physicality. I look forward to seeing him with a different partner this season.

As for Etem, I like his chances in AV's puck possession systems and with the types of young guys (ie Miller) that he'll be playing with. Stepan is a difficult piece to move, but I think this will turn out to be a pretty good hockey trade.

Etem is a big body, 23 year old former first round pick who scored 61 goals with Medicine Hat, then had nearly a point per game in the AHL. He also has 6 playoff goals in limited ice time. We already know what Bones and Sbisa are, Etem still has potential and is young, which would fit into the rebuilding mode of this club. Say what you want about the difference Bones and Sbisa made, but did they make an impact in the playoffs? Nope.

Sbisa lost us at least two games. Quite a significant impact
