See how they like that. Maybe the LA Kings should call up San Jose and offer up Lias Andersson in exchange for William Eklund. After all, they were both 7th overall picks, so that makes their value the same, right?
What has Laf or Kakko done to earn the ice time? Y’all want to compete you get a forward to push them down and hope they figure it out this off-season because they sure as hell haven’t yet.
So why not have it actually open? If you can add a guy that improves you now especially with guys like Shesterkin, Fox, Panarin, Zib without giving up really anything why not? Like it’s a 2nd or the equivalent. Those kinds of guys can win you series. If we were talking Hertl, that’s one thing but to add around the fringes with Barabanov I genuinely do not understand why you don’t do that. Laf and Kakko have not shown anything so you’re just going to let them get shat on in the playoffs? That sounds worse for their development than cut playing time.
Disagree. Playoff experience is important for young players. I'd rather add a center like Stasny anyway.
Stastny is no better than Chytil. Playoff experience is definitely important but running them on the third line is still giving them experience. If you’re looking for Cs, I’d go with Acciari or McCann if you don’t want to pay for the likes of Hertl.
Rangers definitely need help in the bottom six. Sounds like a good idea. Rather bolster the bottom six which would (well, could) allow the top six pick up the scoring slack. And cost less than the alternative. This is a good idea.
Stasny 38 gp, 22 points and 56% on draws.
Acciari is the cheap C I’d go for. Just coming back from injury but was close to an elite 3/4C for FLA a few seasons ago (2 I think, last season was still good but not as good). Honestly for me with Stastny is more his game won’t mesh well with the 3rd line of NYR. I think you look for a bit more of a checker.
he’s better than both. If you combine those two they have 1 more point than Barabanov in like 2.5x as many games.
I'm fine with you not ceding the mind of a GM too me. Just as long as you don't think you wear the mantle.
No it does not. No matter how many times you say it
You really don’t read before you post do you? He’s a rental. It’s not like I’m saying permanently leave him in the top 6.
Rather give up draft picks. Rangers made offseason moves basically trying to find what Cuylle could turn into. Most of those off season moves failed. I'd rather give up a prospect who fills a lesser hole with a good draft pick. Cuylle involved for a UFA not named Hertl just doesn't make a lot of sense.
So we should continue poor development so we can say the same thing next season? If that's the case the organization should just trade both of them by trade deadline if they see no real NHL talent and won't develop them.
Do y’all not read? Neither of those guys have shown anything to deserve top 6 minutes in the playoffs. You go out and trade for a Barabanov type that can fill in there and give you depth by bumping one of them out of the top 6.
It doesn't matter what they've showed, does it? They were drafted 1 and 2, and still very young. You either develop them or you don't. If you decide they aren't worth it, replace them. You don't just keep them and continue to not develop them.
Perfect go sign Yakupov then. Obviously doesn’t matter. I think Staal is trying to make a comeback and Patty is still a FA.
So you tell us that we don't read, then post something like that?
We said a 2nd. If that’s top 6 value to you, you got some issues. Being better then those guys should pencil him in
