@Philzfacts@Wmonist one of the dumber takes I’ve seen on the app. Clearly from someone who doesn’t watch hockey. Mika is one of the best two way players in the league and dominant on the PK.And if you want to talk declining look at Barzals numbers. He peaked when he was 20. Horrible contract
@BLBlueShirts26 I think generational talent is a stretch for Laf. He was the best of that class but that was a weak year in hindsight. Zegras was under Kakko not Laf and has been on the worst team in the NHL since drafted, tough comparison to draw. Boldly is better but he gets top 6 burn.
@JoeFortunatoBSB You’re living in the past man. Also, in case you haven’t realized, things have been going ok without Krav in the lineup. He’s not a bottom 6 guy and there’s no room for him up top. Find something else to complain about or just accept and enjoy the success for the love of god.
@glenhorner3 @barstoolsports Trouba is making 6m this year. Fox is making 11m and Makar is making 9m. That’s NOT ballpark. End of discussion. AAV is meaningless here I’m not a GM and I don’t care about cap. And have you seen the rangers roster? We’re good on the scoring. Who’s your team? They must be BAD
@JoeFortunatoBSB Joe you gotta make moves like this to win man. We’re ready to win NOW. Anyone getting slotted in this draft is not making anywhere close to an immediate impact. It also did significantly lessen the prospect. No krav, Jones or Othman. This is a win for drury.
@JoeFortunatoBSB The reality is he hasn’t been able to stay on the ice and doesn’t really fit in the lineup as is. A physical for checking forward to round out the bottom 6 would go a long way in the postseason. He’s got a ton of talent but these are the types of trades you have to consider
@StatBoy_Steven Comparing apples and oranges. Don’t think the expectation was to get a Buch level player in return. Got a draft pick out of it as well. Blais missed majority of last season. Rangers couldn’t give him $5+ million even on a bridge deal. Nor would he have wanted that.
