@NoahsNYR@IceMetrix I dont expect him to be more than a 3C right now. However, if you put him on the 4C he won't have as much ice time to show that he belongs.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

@OhRyanMead If, and it's a big if, the #NYR acquire Wright then he needs to spend a year in the Wolf Pack to see if he's worth re-signing. Also, cant give up a lot to get him.
@FriedgeHNIC This is a smart move. Give Schneider a year and a half to see how he plays with his new teammates. If it doesn't work out then the #NYR can get move him. Term and AAV are more than acceptable for a 3rd n pair defensemen.
#NYR president and GM Chris Drury on Braden Schneider's status: "We think Braden is a really good young talented defenseman. We drafted him, developed him, we like the skill set and what he does for us. I know he, along with us, are just trying to do everything we can to be better and help him be better, but he's an exciting player and a terrific all-around high character person in our organization."
@ShaunMorash Trocheck was traded for the leading scorer in the OHL (basically a 1st round pick), a right shot 2nd pair puck moving defensemen and a 3rd round pick. We already had 2C and a solid 3C. This was a good return.
