[Mercogliano] Just spoke to Lavi, who’s been consistent about trying different D pairs this camp. We’ve seen that play out in practices and he said they remain undecided about combos, but he left no doubt about Miller-Fox being an option they’re intrigued by. “We’re gonna give it a look.”

What a tease…
it would be our counter to the Toews – Makar pair in COL… DO IT YOU COWARDS
It’s a huge philosophical question for the organization. Do you go with 79-23 as the top pair for 5 seasons, or build out two pairs focused around each?
If it’s going to be two pairs, we currently have ZERO options for 1LD. It’s not Lindgren. Jones is too similar (in style, not quality, obviously).
Miller Fox should have had more time together last season to help flesh out an answer.
Chad Ruhwedel YOU are a Rangers 1st pair dman!
Give it a look? It’s quite literally our best pair… one of the best in the league
As long as we get jones-trouba. Idk why it clicked for them but it has.
As of now though i am worried about the schneider pair just because he wasnt looking all that great during preseason
Thank God they’re finally taking a look at this pairing, the underlyings were so good (despite the small sample size)
Fingers crossed they don’t just immediately junk it and chain Fox to Ruhwedel or something.
Surprised this wasn’t the plan from the get go even with a healthy Lindgren. Lindy is gone after this season anyway.
Miller-Fox
Lindgren-Schneider
Jones-Trouba
While Lindgren is out, try/rotate in Mackey and C-Rue
Fox and Key sound so good. But what about Schneids and Key?
GO ALL-IN WITH THIS PAIR, COWARDS.
What would be the pairs
Jones – Schneider
Lindgren-Trouba
Fox-Key
It’s about damn time someone “gave them a look” after several seasons lol
