I mean, yeah, but there was an awful lot of f***ery going in with these kids. The shuttling back and forth to the taxi squad comes to mind as well. Their salaries were clearly an issue that was being actively managed.
Confirmed with Link: Adam Fox wins the Norris Trophy

You don't take anything for granted. Things can change in a year. It was the right move.

The Rangers weren't the only team doing that.
Occam's razor. They played less because Quinn felt they weren't ready for more.

Yeah, that was a pretty shitty thing to do. It cost guys like Kakko and Miller a lot of money
I know it seems like we've had to endure Trouba for a century but I'm pretty sure that was this decade.
Nope, Larry Brooks(stupidly)made that statement in his last article.
That pairing was made on the national team. Quinn just piggybacked on it.

Yeah. They played together back in 2014 already for the US NTDP. Where did Brooks get the notion Quinn "created" that pairing? LOL

This is obviously referring to the NHL and not what happened when they were 16 years old. Plenty of NHL players played together as kids. You do not go around saying the coach of a team of 11 year olds is responsible for creating say a...Stamkos/Tavares line if it were to ever occur in the NHL/Team Canada.

Even if that's true, it was Lindy Ruff, not David Quinn. Because Lindy Ruff was responsible for the defense right?

The timeline is the juiciest part:
It’s not often that a player wins a Norris Trophy and you can expect that level of play for the next six or seven seasons.

This is why I chuckle at the contract fretting…we’re going to get a $100M player at like a 50% discount.
Tampa Bay is about to win another Cup with a cap hit of like two NHL teams put together. Don’t beat your brains up over it.
I hope you feel hopeful and great!
i get what you are saying though- it’s how I felt about Richter/Lundquist

No relation to Sergei, Joe
I only care about Fox winning more Cups than Leetch.

Records are made to be broken and legends are there to be challenged.
Fox has a long ways to go before being in consideration as having surpassed the best skater in NYR history.
If he does, or even comes close, no NY Ranger will ever wear #23 again.

Is that chart a year old? Says 2021 is projected.

No, the dotted line is projections. The solid line is actual numbers (2020 and 2021)
Weirdly done there's a "Proj" where you'd think 2021 would be on the x-axis.
