He has been disappointing lately.
Now, how and in what way has DeAngelo managed to impress you?? He has 8 career even strength points (only 2 with us) and is out there for goals against all the time, often because... well, he doesn't seem to have defensive skills.
I don't understand how someone can think that Buchnevich, who is the same age and averages a point in 57% of his matches shouldn't be here and is "horrific", yet thinks DeAngelo has a future here. It couldn't be any more apparent that Buchnevich has had a better career so far.

While I like the stronger, better and faster Kopitar comparison for Chytil....that’s it lol.

ADA was paired with two horrible defenseman when he played. He was physical and confident with the puck and has great wheels. Buchnevich has had three years of playing with some of our best players. I’ve seen enough of him.

This is Buchnevich's second season.
Meant to type two. I’m om my phone you’re right he’s had 100+ games. Good sample size

Buchnevich has actually got about a year and a half. He was injured/banged up for about half of his first year. He does need to get stronger. A very creative playmaker but he's too much on the periphery right now which is why he's not scoring goals. Still there's been significant improvement in his game this year--the question is how much more is coming. I'd like to see not only Pavel getting stronger but more determination on his part to go into the areas around the goal crease---that's where the most goals are scored.
Tony DeAngelo could become a good player---he's not one now in my eyes anyway and if we're choosing between him and Pavel there's no question that we keep Pavel. Tony handles and moves the puck well but he's not made very many creative plays in the offensive zone. His defending needs a lot of work. In contrast Pionk handles and moves the puck just as well--has been much more creative on offense and defends much better.

And he's doing it getting like 13 mins of ice time per game...
Guy should be getting 16-18 mins and getting top PP mins
Vinny DeAngelo
Jimmy Easy to defend
Why are we choosing between buch and AdA?? They’re both going to be good players. Shut up with your agendas.
Look at Buchs comparable for his production given his age and TOI. He’s going to be a top line winger. Worst case scenario he doesn’t get any better and he’s a 2nd line guy. Look at the jump he made this past offseason if he does half of that jump this offseason he’s 60 pts easy. If he replicates it he’s elite

I don't get how this thread is a ghost town. Our two most promising prospects play for all intents of purposes their first game and no one is posting.
Rangers lost but made a game out of it, both of the rooks looked good.
There isn't a whole lot to complain about after the first 20. Hence the ghost town.

Kids looked good today but as Reggie Dunlop pointed out last week and as someone who was a season ticket holder during these times, this team is eerily reminiscent of the 98 to 2004 teams. Just enough talent to beat the bottom feeders but too talented to be an actual bottom feeder and draft impact players .
This team is absolutely on the lower end of mediocre as currently built. 2 or 3 superstars would change that. But how do we get them? We are too talented to pick in the top 3 of the draft, But not talented enough to be in the contender conversation.
By all scouting accounts all of our prospects project to be good but not great players who will routinely get beaten by those great players. One cup in 70+ years should tell you its an organazational problem
The rangers are, in their history, a mediocre middle of the pack franchise. Always have been. And I dont see this changing in my lifetime. Wr got our one cup because Messier was sick of Edmonton. We nearly lost that series as well.
Ill always be a Ranger fan, but historically we are one of the worst franchises in all of professional sports.

Being a middle of the pack franchise is not worse than being a bottom of the barrel franchise like there are a decent amount of. Which is different from bottoming out and getting a superstar and becoming an annual contender. Also, this team has a much better base than the 98 to 04 teams. They are actually pretty damn good for a team that sold off half the roster. Those 98-04 teams were in perennial limbo, the fact that we sold off half our roster and are still competitive is actually a testament to how solid this team has been for years and IMO is a positive sign.
I absolutely agree that the fact we sold and have many GOOD young players is the difference between then and now. Unfortunately and while this might be a little bit premature I still see no Superstar in in our system or our pipeline which I think we can all agree is absolutely necessary to achieve any sort of success in today's NHL

Not a chance, don’t get the Kopitar comparison at all except both have elite puck protection (Chytil’s puck protection will be considering elite soon)
Chytil is also a risky, flashy player while Kopitar really isn’t. Kopitar slows things down normally and Chytil doesn’t. Not to mention Chytil isn’t known for good defense, his defensive positioning and defensive IQ are low but his stick work is pretty good. Don’t see Kopitar at all
I think it's really premature. We have two guys that should be good playing only their 1st and 3rd game last night. I think Chytil has that potential.

The way the draft lottery works now means it doesn’t matter if we’re the worst team in the league or 17th, either could get the ping pong balls to go their way to the first overall pick, so there’s almost no reason to be Vancouver/Buffalo/Arizona bad.
