The Quotes of Day are sponsored by DraftKings and FanDuel. I’m KIDDING. I can’t stand those commercials. They have to be the most annoying in sports. Nobody’s winning millions off it. It’s sheer lunacy.
That firmly stated, the Quote(s) Of The Day come courtesy of the Rangers following the announcement of the final 23-man roster that includes Dylan McIlrath, Emerson Etem and Tanner Glass.
First, the bad:
“His camp has been pretty average, and I think he knows that, I think we all know that,” Rangers GM Jeff Gorton told the New York Post’s Brett Cyrgalis on Etem who was acquired for Carl Hagelin in the off-season. “We’ve known him for a long time. We know the player, we scouted the player, we’ve liked what we’ve seen. He’s yet to show that to maybe all of you guys, but we have faith that in time he’s going to show us that.”-Rangers GM Jeff Gorton on Etem’s training camp
Now, the good:
“Just overwhelmed with excitement. It’s been a pretty long road to get to this point. I’ve obviously worked really hard, and it makes it that much more gratifying when you’ve faced some adversity.”-Dylan McIlrath on making the NYR
“I think there was an evolution to his game. He’s come a long way. It’s taken awhile for a big guy. But he’s played really well, he’s done a lot of the things we’ve asked him to do. For us, for a 6-foot-5 defenseman to play the way that he does, the style he plays, I think it’s a big asset for us.”
“It’s always good for the organization when somebody you drafted eventually makes it — and deservedly so. We talked to him today, and I think Dylan has the right approach. He’s not jumping up and down. He’s going to enjoy the fact that he’s on a NHL roster every day. ”-Rangers GM Jeff Gorton on McIlrath
