"Just having no time to think about it, Kartye said. Going out and playing and just having fun, I think, is almost better than overthinking it. Perhaps it was for Kartye, who over the past 24 hours had experienced the highs and lows of being placed on waivers, moved across the country with what he could pack on a whim, and made his debut for a new team in an afternoon game."
"It stinks to be put on waivers, Kartye said, But I got claimed, and I'm really excited to be here, and I think it's a great opportunity for me. Kartye played 12:39 across 17 shifts in his Rangers debut on Saturday, the fourth-lowest of any Rangers player. He recorded a team-high six hits while registering two shots on goal."
"Kartye described his game as physical forechecking, being in good spots, and hopefully chipping in on offense. It's exactly what he expects to bring to the Rangers on a nightly basis. In 40 games with the Seattle Kraken this season, Kartye recorded 98 hits, which ranked third on the Kraken when the Rangers claimed him off waivers Friday."
Tye Kartye transitioned to the New York Rangers after being claimed off waivers from the Seattle Kraken, making his debut in a 3-2 shootout win against Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old forward played 12:39 across 17 shifts, recording a team-high six hits and two shots on goal. Kartye credited his success to avoiding overthinking the situation and instead focusing on playing with intensity. Having familiar support from former Kraken defenseman Will Borgen, now a Rangers blueliner, eased his transition. Kartye emphasized his physical forechecking style and positioning as key contributions he plans to provide nightly. In 40 games with Seattle, he recorded 98 hits, ranking third on the Kraken.
