He's 23, was drafted nearly 5 years ago, has played a couple of seasons against men in the KHL and in 47 NHL games has a total of 5 goals and 5 assists. That's just not good enough for a player who was drafted 9th overall and is supposed to be skilled. When I watch him play he doesn't hurt the team but he doesn't do much of anything to help either. He often gets pushed around also. He needs to hit the weight room hard this off season. I honestly think this is his last chance and if continues to show very little he will not be on this team next year. I'm rooting hard for him though because a productive Kravs makes this team that much more dangerous.

He’s skilled at avoiding the weight room

I'm sure if you just randomly knocked on someone's door, there's a better than 70% chance he/she is a Rangers fan and a better than 50% chance they have NHLN from their TV provider and will let you in and watch with them as a fellow fan. You'd make new friends on top of that.

Yeahbut. There’s also a 25% chance that when you knock on the door resident of said house just blows a shotgun shell through the door Sharkey’s Machine style.

So be sure to stand aside.

Can't say I disagree.

Come on, it's super disingenuous to say he's not skilled. He was a top 10 pick for a reason

He's struggled so far to translate said skill to the NHL which is a struggle many rookie players have. If he keeps observing, learning, training and listening to coaches he's going to end up being a decent top-6 player. If not here then somewhere else

May I remind you of another big, skilled player on this team who also struggled at the outset but is now looking like one of the most promising young forwards we've developed in the last 20 years?

Vesey: This is the sickest lineup since I've been here, even though I'm now on the fourth line. But I'm on my natural wing, so look out.

PP1: Two lefties, three righties. PP2: Three lefties, two righties.

I would like to see more balance on those PP units, frankly.
