Rangers Should Keep Duclair

Some of the brain dead media who cover the Rangers are speculating that the move of St. Louis back to wing, could mean that there's no room for Duclair and that he should be sent back to juniors.   That would be brain dead of the Rangers.  Here's why.  Duclair is already +4 with 3 assists.  He is also the sharpest passer on the team, and gives full effort without the puck and in all three zones.  And because of that he draws a lot of penalties and always will and gets the Rangers power plays and always will.

On the other hand, Tanner Glass is a non scoring, middleweight roughing, boarding and fighting penalty waiting to happen.   So he does and always will lead to the other team going to the box.   There is no reason to dress Malone, Glass and Mueller.  None.  

Thus, the Rangers should and must keep Duclair and start cutting some of this chaff.    The roster is currently mismanaged, somewhat because Stepan is out, and somewhat because AV is a bit of a moron, but they cannot shoot themselves in the scoring, defense and ability to draw penalties by sending down Duclair or even sitting him.

Excellent post Phil!!! This is gross mismanagement at its best. These journeyman need to be removed from the roster, and our kids should be playing.
