I feel like he's completely reverted to this pre-Rangers form...and then some.

Talk about a guy who we either timed perfectly, or who was just tailor-made for those Rangers teams.

We did catch his best. Granted I’m looking at s tiny sample size. But a cheap veteran center could help the young guys. Maybe I’m just being nostalgic since I value his clutch playoff performances more than a Nash or others who did nothing when it mattered most.

I think Brassard on a one year deal would probably be pretty appealing to the Rangers.

Svechnikov was brought along slowly. Early on, he only played 10-12 minutes a game. I believe third line and second unit power play. By the end of the season, he averaged 14 minutes a game.

I wonder if that will be a similar plan for KK. Hopefully none of that 4th line nonsense with scrubs like Smith.

Never said last 19 games. He had a 19 game stretch with 2 goals and 11 assists. That’s about half his average production which is garbage. I think we’ve beaten this dead horse. I don’t want him. Just my gut having seen terrible free agent contracts for decades. Want Marner or just try home grown for once.

You said 19 game stretch where the team needed him most, I assumed that was the last 19 games where they were trying to make the playoffs. What 19 game stretch were you talking about?

Like I said, I get it. We can agree to disagree about the disappearing thing though.

No. Please. My only reason is let's move forward and not fall into that historical trap of sentimentality.

No, I still wish they'd gone back to Patrick/Adams/Norris/Smythe.

It was something that made the league distinctive from the other major leagues, but today these names don't resonate as much, if any, with newer generations fans.
 
They're unsung as hell, but I want a 4th line like Calgary's when we're good again.

...Along with the top 2 lines. And most of their D.... Okay I'd be happy if we became the Flames.
