Congrats Jeff!

That gives us 7 guys either playing in NHL or on rosters so far this year IINM.

Joakim Ryan has been playing in Sweden though.

Thank you!  Correct above and in link.

Not NHL (and don't think I've seen it here), but Kyle Betts signed an ATO with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) last Wednesday.

Still awaiting his pro debut as he did not skate in either of the team's games this weekend.

Sunday was Matt Moulson Bobblehead Night with the Hershey Bears. Moulson played 24 games fall 2021 and has been out since the end of December with back surgery, which the team said was successful. He's 38 years old. If he can play more, good, but at some point as 40 approaches, you should think about how you'll feel at 50 and 60.

Malott had 8 shifts in his NHL debut, and was on the ice for 4:06. He also had 2 penalty minutes.

Carpe diem.

Morgan Barron traded.

Forward Andrew Copp said on Thursday that, one year ago at this time, he started looking at houses and hoped that the Jets would sign him long-term. How quickly everything can change.

Winnipeg traded Copp and a 2023 sixth-round pick to the New York Rangers for prospect Morgan Barron, two conditional second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Monday ahead of the NHL's trade deadline. Copp has 13 goals and 35 points in 56 games this season for the Jets.

The conditions of the picks: The first 2022 second-round pick will become the Rangers' 2022 first-round pick if the Rangers advance to the Eastern Conference final and Copp plays in at least 50 percent of their playoff games. For the other second-round pick, it will either be St. Louis' 2022 second-round pick or the Rangers' second-round pick in 2023.

After the trade, Winnipeg assigned Barron to the AHL's Manitoba Moose.

The Barron trade really depresses me.  I've been a Rangers season ticket holder since the first Roosevelt administration, or so it seems, and have been waiting for a Cornell player to wear the Blue after having to watch Vesey, Blackwell, and Fox, though for obvious reasons I've grown to love Fox.  Had high hopes for Morgan on Broadway, but the Rangers have a logjam of bottom six forwards and want to make a big move this season.  Hopefully, for me, not a disastrous Dolan motivated move.  Good luck to MB in Winnipeg, maybe playing for Dave Lowry, who should have soft spot for a Cornellian.

I was waiting for him to be traded. I think this is way better for Morgan

As a Rangers fan I'm sorry to see him go, but Gallant didn't seem to like him and as long as he's the coach I think Morgan would've been stuck in the AHL. With Winnipeg he'll get a fresh start and should have an easier path to the NHL.

Yes indeedy. This is good for Barron! The Rangers are my mortal enemy now!

[arugula]

Definitely will be better for Barron.  More ice, a Cornell friendly coach.  To my eye, he was better than a few of the people Gallant has been playing in New York, but with such a young team, I suspect the coach wanted a bit more age in the lineup.  Morgan also looked a little slow at the NHL level to me.  He's definitely mastered the AHL, so it's NHL or bust now.  Let go Jets!

So are we all pretty sure he's going to be in the Jets' lineup, not just a yo-yo?  (I mean assuming he performs ok.)

With Malott also in Lose-a-peg (schmoozing, under the covers) it's too bad Riley Nash isn't there anymore.  The Red Line!*

* I wonder if any NC$$ program has ever achieved this in the NHL.

Winnipeg is assigning him to their AHL club, at least for now.

Riley Nash got reacquired by the Lightning off waivers and assigned to the AHL.

I hope the Lightning has a series of injuries to their forwards.
