Won the lottery in back to back years. Drafted 1st and 2nd overall. Kakko looks better this season, still doesn't look like a 2nd overall. Lafreniere isn't there yet. I know we need to give them time, but I was hoping one of our lottery picks would have made an immediate impact. When you draft 1st or 2nd overall, you expect that. And I know it doesn't happen with every high end pick, but it does happen with plenty of them. Im wondering if Quinn is what is holding back these kids potentials.
It's the Rangers, we aren't allowed to develop superstar forwards.
 
How can anyone knock Kakko so far?

Him and Chytil were by far the best line early on, his play along the boards has drastically improved and has 2 goals?

I get the LaF concern, but can't lump Kakko into that convo this year.

Wonder whats its gonna be like when we draft 3rd overall next..
 
I’d honestly take Jacques as the head coach.
He’s an excellent coach — as a teacher and as a tactician. He’s been accused of being dispassionate, and this inadequate for contenders, but I think that’s an unfortunate stigma that formed during his years with the Senators.

It's Quinn. I guarantee you a week after he is gone every single one of our players will look better.

Sometimes there is a weaker draft-class, and there's nothing you can do about it. But Kakko was literaly breaking records in Finland. Won U18, U20 and mens World championships before getting drafted. Lafreniere was talked about being one of the best wingers in years, maybe one of the better Canadian players since McDavid.

Strangely, both have strugled the same way in NY and the NHL.
 
You have no idea what the issue is. It’s pretty unfair to make assumptions

Everybody has something going on. A teacher just can't leave the classroom and leave students unattended because they have things going on. Its their duty. A nurse can't leave their patients unattended and ignore them because they have stuff going on, its their duty to take care of them.

It shows a lack of mental toughness and disregard for one's responsibilities.
