All the best to the Rangers from Leafs Nation.
This is as good a time as any for your first 1OA. Enjoy -- and don't trade the pick!

that’s probably the only guy I’d consider trading him for.

Glad you feel that way. It doesn't seem to be what people like Corey Pronman think, though.

RIP, Jimmy.
I don't think so and I only say that because I can't imagine the Rangers finding ways to afford that kind of cap hit.
I didn't know negative odds could exist until today

What would OTT have to offer us bc i want more than the 3rd and 5th pick in this draft. Those are magic beans.
Laf is franchise altering like Panarin.
Give me Eichel if we are to trade this pick. Otherwise, Ott better be giving us 3rd 5th and braanstrom
Guys who are either making big money or will be making big money soon?
Don't see it happening. We don't really have the space to those guys AND ice a roster with proper depth.

On my birthday, we win the rights to Alexis Lafreniere. Best birthday gift ever!!
"Really good news," Lafreniere said on the television broadcast following the lottery. "The Rangers are an unreal team with really good players (and) a really nice city."
a subtle dig at kakko? lol

The problem is you have to be able to work salaries into your structure and getting production from entry level salaries is essential in today's NHL.
Eichel can't be ruled out completely, but I don't know if I see the team adding a 24 year old, during his prime contract, at this point in time.
Not on top of the other commitments they have.
I figured there would plenty of hate lol.
Funniest is Devils complaining after they had two first overall picks in 3 years. lol
Best part is we didn't have to tank like so many so many losers who did.
Well deserved JG and company

Kreider has played RW on the line with Panarin and Zibs. You could also go three deep, using Kreider with Chytil, with whom he's had chemistry, Panarin staying with Strome, and Laf playing next to Mika.

It's not the #1 pick that will be dealt for a center, it's whether having the #1 pick makes the Rangers feel more comfortable moving other items of value for a center.
I think a lot of things would have to break right for it to happen. Most importantly, why would any of those teams give up those players for a guy who only might be as good?
Personally I don't test fate and I just make the pick.
I'll never understand why TSN geo blocks shit
Why exactly do they want to prevent people in the US from viewing that?
I'd expect the Rangers to explore all possibilities in a trade but ultimately they'll have to get blown away by an offer and I think other teams are more likely to play it conservative...even if Lafreniere is a consensus #1 pick he's still an unknown at the NHL level and teams aren't going to want to throw away all their depth and assets to acquire that pick

A lot would need to go right to make it work. Like I said in my other post, if it was me I would just make the pick. Just saying I can at least understand the thought process as opposed to trading #1 for more picks.
Assuming they do pick Lafreniere I'm honestly really interested to see in maybe 2 years the combo of him and Kakko...we know Kakko can be a bull with the puck and Lafreniere looks to have that "gamer" mentality...having to talented puck possession wingers like them will be interesting.
good lord I hope Kakko pans out too lol

Run with the lines from this year except Laf runs with Chytil and Kakko. Lemiuex Goat and Barron or Howden on the 4th isn’t shabby. If a good center or LD becomes available be ready to make the deal even if the cost seems a little prohibitive.

You act like you fell asleep and don't know either. Then you live this glorious moment in real time when you look it up for them.

RIP, Jimmy.
I agree and you make a good point. Keep the known quantity. That is what I would do if I had control of an Eichel/Draisaitl. I have no desire for them to trade this pick.
