Blackwell's play was inspiring. Should put a stop to the Brian Boyle rumors. That was more like it.

Only problem with Buch playing so well is that it’s going to be really hard to see him traded. I don’t see a path to him being here long term and that really sucks.
The kid makes himself noticeable. That is what I like the most. Makes the most of his time and makes himself noticeable.
It is only 3 games, but forgetting about the points, he plays with an edge and plays a straight line game. Has done nothing that would warrant exiting the lineup and if he continues to play the way that it is, he is going to write his own script.

I think once Quinn watches that game again he will notice Kakko should've gotten more ice time. He was all over the ice making plays

Rebuilding.
Big problem I see with letting him go here eventually is that he's taking the role of the guy doing the heavy lifting and such on his line and if the Rangers keep trading those kind of players they're going to keep having the kind of issues we're seeing with Fast being gone
I dunno what the tradeoff is, maybe you hope Kakko continues to develop that puck hound work ethic, but I see it as an issue
Exactly.
Rather amazing what happens to a team when the goalie is not allowing beach balls to cross the line and your top line vets play like, well top line vets. That will open up more room for the younger players.

Praise be the unsung forwards Blackwell, DiGiuseppe, and Rooney. All three have played admirably, with intensity, aggressiveness, and hustle.

I remember him in a World Junior Game against Canada . He drew 3 penalties because of his play and had one hack of a game for Russia....I also remember him taunting team USA bench .....I like the guy...he has some passion in his game and some grittiness but he is one of the most snake bit out there for scoring for us .
Smith played well, but he was way too high and out of position on their powerplay goal. He came out to challenge some in the faceoff circle, and could not get back and even close to Reinhart in front of the net. I think if he plays more regularly instead of Johnson he might not get as hyper and run around as much.
And again, and I think that this is important, straight line game and plays with an edge.
Fox was great, but PP1 has a completely different look and feel when DeAngelo is running it.
The one noticeable thing about him this year is how engaged he has been from shift to shift.
He continues this type of play and he is going to force Gorton & JD to make some rather hard decisions.
As I said, there is only so much space. And IF (big if) Buchnevich continues to play like this and takes another step forward, he is going to put management into a position where they will need to make a hard decision.
why would we have to trade him. We wont have any cap issues for the next 2 or 3 years really.
By then we could buy out kreider. Problem solved.
buch is a key piece and a line driver. He is the type of player u need to succeed. They key is to not completely overpay him.
he's up for a new contract so yeah the trouble is figuring out how to re-sign him and not knee cap yourself down the road, especially with the cap uncertainty to some extent.
Wing position might also be a bit crowded with Buch, Kakko, Kravtsov, Laf, Panarin, Kreider and then others knocking on the door
To be honest in the cap NHL it's really tough to stack your lineup with quality players and pay them all

ADA is very good when things break down... or as Doc use to call it, 'Helter Skelter'

He's become a really good playmaker. Very patient with the puck and doesn't make a whole lot of bad decisions anymore.
