America's Team! If you're a patriotic American, you need to root for the Rangers to sign Schultz. DO IT FOR YOUR COUNTRY!

I don't think it was a mistake, really. We had enough dmen to cover ourselves in case he wasn't ready (or would have, if not for injuries). I think the mistake was that we didn't get another dman before the deadline. If counting on Erixon was a mistake, it was a correctable one. The same holds true for Schultz.

Justin Schultz lottery is fascinating, considering teams IN and teams OUT. Told Flyers are in the "OUT" line.

Erixon is a mistake? Ummmm. since when? How about he plays more than a few games before he's considered a "mistake?" He's still considered a very good prospect and I think he's going to make the team out of camp.

You misunderstood. He said counting on Erixon to secure a spot was a mistake. Not that acquiring him was a mistake.

Ottawa being in is interesting. Karlsson plays the same side as Schultz and as long as he's around, Schultz will never be the go to guy and will never get #1 PP minutes

NYR apparently only US team invited to make presentation to Schultz. Badger connection, Tortorella willingness to give ice to kids, pluses

Just imagine in a couple of years after they develop together.....

Torts has played more kids in important situations than any coach in the NHL. No BS. No lip service.

I really at this point just wanna see the reactions to Schultz signing with us on the main board.... Trollfaces will be everywhere.

[BroadwayBlues]

I think if the Rangers were a Canadian team, it would be a given.

It's not uncommon for a team to play two same-handed defensemen on the PP

So we are the only American team on his list? Guess his preference is Canada lol

[Jim Morrison]

We'll have to say something really special at the meeting with him, because things are not really looking to be in our favor. Talk about against all odds.

Basically...

I guess McKenzie knew what he was talking about when he first mentioned Canadian teams.

If the Rangers were in Canada, this would be a slam dunk.imo.

Erixon is going to be very good, not sure this is an indictment of him at all. Might have consequences for impending big-raise dman Michael Del Zotto though.

If you can get a top forward for MDZ, get Schultz and have Erixon in the wings, keep Stralman (maybe) and progress on the Sauer front...
