Jon ChikHOST
28:45
And I also realize it's a small sample size, but doing anything positive on that Hartford Wolf Pack team from this past season, that's an impressive feat.
Jon ChikHOST
28:53
And, you know, we've also made the comparison between Brody Lamb and another player on the New York Rangers previously on Locked On Rangers here, and that's, that's gonna be Noah Laba.
Jon ChikHOST
29:02
Um, a lot of similarities, similar builds, similar playing styles.
Jon ChikHOST
29:07
Both, you know, straight line players, both physical guys, both guys that are able to shoot the puck as well, but also in similar situations, uh, between last year and this year.
Jon ChikHOST
29:15
You know, you think back to last season and Noah Laba, you know, he's taking part in this rookie camp, right? And he's, uh, he's out there and he's playing in both these games.
Jon ChikHOST
29:25
He had a strong showing there.
Jon ChikHOST
29:26
He had a strong showing in the preseason, really stood out there.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:08
But there was a feeling of, oh, a young guy is going to make the team.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:13
And who was that young guy? It was Noah Laba.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:15
And I'm getting that same feeling now.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:17
And I know it's one day.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:22
I'm getting that same feeling about Cole Baldwin.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:26
The Cole Baldwin that was acquired from the Utah Mammoth.
Darius DominguesHOST
4:32
in exchange and not just him obviously sean dursey in a pick two in exchange for vincent trocek ladies and gentlemen if you remember last year noah laba came out of nowhere and it was early in camp and everyone started turning heads and going you know did you see that am i seeing that am i feeling that he's gonna make the team now you might be thinking is it gonna be the third line role right and i've i've said in the videos before and we're gonna get into why here in a second but i said in the videos before is that noah laba spot or is that just a spot Well, is that Joe Valeno's spot, or is that just a spot? And there's a lot of spots that can be taken, and I think Cole Baldwin's about to come for one of those spots I'm getting the same feeling guys I'm getting the same feeling there's something brewing here now again let's start with it here rookie camp started yesterday really exciting now they're running with these lines I'm really excited to see a couple of these guys play together Brody lamb guys a free agent signing that we covered last year as well came on the scene had a really good showing early with the heart for wolf pack he's playing top line with kobold Nguyen and Liam green tree so that's pretty cool Sakura's on the second line where robrick and aspinall really i think that's a really interesting dynamic there that's for sure a couple other guys to keep an eye on that fourth line should be really fun too like i i think that has a lot of promise there not quite there yet for a lot of them but that fourth line has a lot of problems been talking about spencer bulls the last couple days too carrie terrence in the mix there he's an eye uh you know a guy to keep an eye on albert schmitz is playing with drew fortescue that's really cool and then trudeau and passmore there's also a couple injuries right now which is why some of the names have changed and some guys are not skating But those were the lines that they were rocking yesterday.
Darius DominguesHOST
6:09
Now, from Vince Mercogliano, he spoke to Cole Baldwin.
Todd WerwaHOST
10:44
The forwards with the most penalty kill time last season.
Todd WerwaHOST
10:49
Mika, Cooley, Trocek, JT, Ty Cartier, and Noah Laba.
Todd WerwaHOST
10:55
Obviously, Trocek not there this year, won't be able to take face-offs, was a phenomenal penalty killer.
Todd WerwaHOST
11:02
We know JT and what Trocek did at the Four Nations and at the Olympics, but with no Trocek, it opens up spot A for more Noah Laba to be a face-off guy on that Probably second penalty kill unit.
Todd WerwaHOST
11:19
But here's where I love what Chris Drury brought in in the offseason.
Todd WerwaHOST
11:25
Joe Valeno had 143 penalty kill shifts for Montreal.
Todd WerwaHOST
11:57
So if your penalty killers are Mika, who's speedy and gets you short-handed, you know, breakaway goals and always has a good stick.
Todd WerwaHOST
12:04
Cooley, who blocks shots and isn't afraid to put his body in front.
Jon ChikHOST
18:34
Um, and there's other players for the Rangers that- Uh, in some cases have become mainstays in the lineup, that first put on the Ranger jersey, you know, for these games against the Flyers in this rookie series.
Jon ChikHOST
18:45
I think an excellent recent example is Noah Laba.
Jon ChikHOST
18:48
Um, you know, he played in this rookie series last season, played very well there, really stood out.
Jon ChikHOST
18:54
You know, in a rookie series where we were looking at guys maybe like Brett Berard and Brandon Ottman to maybe take off, that didn't really happen, and they're both now former Rangers.
Jon ChikHOST
19:03
But Noah Laba kinda comes out of nowhere and has a strong showing in those two games, keeps it up in the preseason, and he ends up on the Ranger roster as their third line center, um, you know, for basically the entire season.
Jon ChikHOST
19:16
A couple times he moved to the fourth line, but you get the idea.
Jon ChikHOST
19:19
Uh, that all started in this rookie series with his strong showings in these two games.
Jon ChikHOST
20:23
Edstrom did that, and I mean, he's had his ups and downs and he's had some injury problems but, I mean, this is somebody that has become a semi-regular in an NHL lineup.
Jim CernyHOST
13:04
But the possibility is there.
Jim CernyHOST
13:08
We probably didn't think Noah Laba was going to make the Rangers roster a year ago.
Jim CernyHOST
13:13
Now, Laba was a little bit further along, a little bit older, a couple years older than Boudouin.
Jim CernyHOST
13:19
But Laba kicked down the door.
Jim CernyHOST
13:42
And certainly Noah Lobb approved that.
Jim CernyHOST
13:45
As Sully said, it was a little bit of a roller coaster at times.
Jim CernyHOST
13:49
But for a first-year player who is a mid-round draft pick, three years in college, You could have asked for much more out of Noah Laba last season.
Jim CernyHOST
13:59
Now, they want him to take the next step this year.
Greg KaplanHOST
9:47
Now, at the same time, Ryan, I will also say it's quite nice that the Rangers have seven wingers for six spots, and those seven wingers can play anywhere in the lineup.
Greg KaplanHOST
9:59
We, like, it is a good problem to have that the only known roster placement we really have today on opening night is Noah Laba is gonna be the 3C and Joe Veleno is gonna be the 4C.
Ryan MeadHOST
10:10
It's so-
Greg KaplanHOST
10:10
Everything else is up for grabs

25 MINS LATER

Ben NorrisGUEST
35:21
Next season-
Ryan MeadHOST
35:22
Mm-hmm
Ben NorrisGUEST
35:22
... let's say Laba, let's say Noah Laba takes, takes a step.
Ben NorrisGUEST
35:25
Next season, do you feel like Mika is a fantastic third line center, or do you think he just, you need more grit on the third line, which means he's just no longer the player that a- kind of anyone wants?
TannerHOST
16:46
Then like third line's got that Will Cooley, who I really like that kid, but he's not putting up, you know, a point per game or anything.
TannerHOST
16:53
And then Noah Laba and Eli Tolvanen, like how is that going to work out? And fourth line is Ty Cartier, Joe Hojano, and Taylor Radish.
TannerHOST
17:01
And that's kind of like, oof.
TannerHOST
17:04
Yeah, those guys have played hockey before.
Alex WiederspielGUEST
62:57
So in theory, he's better.
Alex WiederspielGUEST
62:59
The part of this that doesn't really track to me is Noah Laba, who a player that I like, like a perfectly fine player who I think is going to be a good fourth line center and maybe will be a third line center someday.
Alex WiederspielGUEST
63:10
But I do not think he is a third line center right now.
Alex WiederspielGUEST
63:13
And so I have a hard time seeing that line doing much offensively, which kind of limits what Ellie Tolvanen does.
Darius DominguesHOST
8:57
I mean, Shamilash and Sikora are going to end up starting the year.
Darius DominguesHOST
9:01
the ahl because it's just easier they are waiver exempt so there's just not enough that they can do here to keep all these guys it's going to be interesting and make everyone happy there's going to be some real decisions here now you can come into camp and absolutely you know blow everyone out of the water and then he has to make the team right that's the other option as well so i mean if you look at a guy like noah laba last year that's the most recent example of like Hey, we're kind of talking about Noah Labba.
Darius DominguesHOST
9:26
Definitely keep your eye on Noah Labba.
Darius DominguesHOST
9:27
Holy smokes, Noah Labba is going to make the team.
SteveHOST
1:52
So I think that it was about right that there was not a lot of people that you could have sought help.
SteveHOST
1:58
out after the free agent dust had settled um tolvan and i liked when he was a ufa and was waved like i i've had my eye on him as a former first round pick um also comes with the you always kind of think that there's more it's taking a flyer on a guy he hasn't lived up to expectations and for tolvan and it's always been a matter of consistency so can he kind of revitalize that i think as he comes over to the rangers though he's going to be playing with guys like jt miller Perhaps Will Cooley, Noah Laba.
SteveHOST
2:28
He skated with Ty Cartier over in Seattle.
SteveHOST
2:30
So I think there is some merit to finding more of a development in his game.
