I also think Dawes's ship has sailed for the time being, maybe a call-up later in the season. But for now I think its safe to say Dawes should be going back to Hartford.

I'd personally rather put him in down for a while again while we see if Dubinsky can play NHL. It also irks me that this guy "has to play with great players to play well" WTF is that about? whatever happened to *earning* the opportunity to play with good players by separating yourself from the rest. Sure, I understand what it means and how/why it works, but still...Dawes has shown nothing, even with 1st line minutes with Jagr and Gomez. still though…I think Dawes has missed his opportunity.

There isn't enough scoring on your second line of Prucha-Gomez-Avery which is why Shanahan has to be on it. I would love to see the Prucha-Straka-Callahan line together, the only problem is that line would get owned physically.

I think the speedy winger in Prucha would be a great fit with Gomez. Maybe a line of Prucha Gomez Avery would be a good line as well. Gomez does not HAVE to skate with Jagr and Drury does not HAVE to skate with Shannahan. Renney didn't try enough combos in camp or the pre season. Hossa Drury Jagr Prucha Gomez Avery Callahan Straka Shannahan Hollweg Betts Orr/Dawes Nothing wrong with skating shannahan on the third line and giving him a lot of powerplay time.

Nothing wrong with skating shannahan on the third line and giving him a lot of powerplay time.

He's annoying, sure. But does he have any other comparison? He's significantly bigger. He's significantly less skilled. He's a significantly better fighter. Fritz is the next Avery?

My question is why? Renney & Sather know there are only a few spots open and only a few players they were really considering. Yesterday was the first day of camp in too many ways. The goal was to get Drury & Gomez to develop chemistry & to figure out lines. Renney needs to go back to before preseason game lines. Starting with Straka, Callihan, & Prucha who was scoring everyday. Separating facts from hype is becoming a chore. The first reports were Jagr & Gomez clicked, now it's Jagr & Drury to try. It's time for Sather to figure out his roster & who he wants to try & trade. And what spots he's looking to fill. I would think it's still a D man & a center with NHL experience. Dubinsky should be competing with Callihan, Straka, & Avery for the 3rd line center job. That really hasn't happened so far. Handing a spot to Dubinsky is not the wisest of moves. Staal would be better served to go to Hartford. Mara, Pock & Dawes are trade bait. That's why I think he should keep Pock & Dawes up. If he can move Mara's salary, his cap situation would have some breathing room. After 10 games he can decide if he wants to bring Dubinsky & Staal up. What Renney wants isn't necessarily what Sather will do. That's why I don't get Zipay, & Dellapina declaring Dubinsky & Staal to make the roster. I assume those are opinions rather than Sather's declarations. It seems like the guys above Renney have a self & Sather imposed gag rule. It's time to try & corner Sather.GOOD LUCK!

So many people were able to just blow right by him and have a good scoring attempt. Dawes will be fine, he just has to find his groove on the NHL Ready. His size hurts him a little, but I could see him being a 2nd or a 3rd line player easily.

It took Martin St. Louis till he was 27 to start turning it on. The Rangers really are set at goalie and D right now (yes i know they can use another banger but they have those assets in the minors). Hold onto Dawes until next year and see how he progresses, if he's getting shipped, package him for something great, not a trade deadline ripoff. i wouldn’t give up on Dawes yet, he’s only gonna be 23 late in the season.
