If Drury trades this guy for peanuts I'm going to be very unhappy.

He and Cuylle are in untouchable territory for me given that they're two out of like only 4 skaters on this team that have been objectively good 5 v 5.

Seriously. The Rangers have been paying players for performance and not for potential for as long as I can remember. Shesterkin’s 4 year deal was a huge miss. Lafreniere’s bridge was a huge miss. Kakko year to year is a huge miss. Most Stanley Cup teams have 2+ contracts that are truly forward-looking. We don’t play that game and we can’t make the leap because of it.
