one would hope it would happen. But what good is the depth/prospects if they're not used when they should be used? A centerman goes down and instead of calling someone up to play, minutes of others are increased. Instead of having competition for spots, they're shut-out from the get-go. It gets tougher and tougher being a prospect in New York as the team continues to not make the playoffs.
Where is this depth? Does not depth mean that if an injury occurs, that you have players who can step in? Who is stepping in? All I am seeing is when an injury occurs, the top 3 lines play more minutes. I do not see the depth in order to properly judge it. There is no depth obvioulsy that Sather feels is capable of playing in the NHL, other wise why would Sather's first choice to replace Lindros be a retread? And if the preceived "depth" is not capable of playing in the NHL, then how is it "depth"?

The problem is the "preceived depth" is only not capable of playing in the NHL for the Rangers. On at least 25 of the 30 teams most of our AHL depth would have seen some time in the bigs.
Even the Fishsticks are working in young AHL players and giving them a shot. Guys like Hunter, Mapletoft, Bergenheim are not much better than Moore, Murray and Wiseman but with Jackass at the helm the young players are blocked.
This team has young players but they will not get a shot because of Sather not because they can't play in the NHL
The fact remains, then, that there is no depth. Does not matter the reason for them not playing, the depth is not here. Therefore, there is no depth.
Then with Jackass in charge we will never have depth. I know what you are saying and it is exactly why the Rangers are and will continue to be the laughing stock of the NHL.
Looking forward to seeing 19 minutes for Jurassic Mark tomorrow :mad:
Let him finish the season first. I'm not saying he can't be, just saying he isn't now. To me he's in the same boat as Jonasen.
I agree with you to a certain extent. Martz & Jonasen are two players who have progressed annually & who both have NHL size. You can't overlook those two facts. Of course, even the highly touted players have to produce at the highest levels(at least at the AHL level) to really be considered depth prospects, but that doesn't mean you can't get excited about prospects that have shown they can develop from one year to the next.
do you have to be in the AHL to be a prospect? Or can you be in any league and be a top pick to be a prospect?
Well he's trying to use Martz to back up his Rangers have prospect depth claim. If the criteria was just to be a young player drafted by the team then every single team would have good prospect depth.

He's a decent prospect.... Hopefully if you get a few of these guys then one of them can turn into a solid NHLer. It wouldn't get me ecstatic, but why not get a little excited that one of our prospects is having success?
