The whole team is +20/30 and he’s -2
If you want a bottom line guy that’s got energy and not much hockey sense, that can chip in a few goals, he’s your guy.
If Drury hadn't learned player relations from Bergevin they might have Kravtsov on the roster.Let me tell you about Greg McKegg, Dryden Hunt and Julien Gauthier. You have a minute?
Really? This is the perfect trade for NYRWhy does NYR do this?
As a Penguins fan, I don't mind this. This weakens Flordia and it doesn't strengthen the Rangers to a worrisome extent.
Why the asymmetry? If it doesn't strengthen the Rangers to a worrisome extent then why does it weaken Florida significantly?
Here's a more complete answer than you've gotten so far, which should explain your misperception.I had been under the impression NYR essentially had too much depth. If not it makes sense.
Good, don't worry about the 2nd place team in your division improving when you root for the 3rd place team in the division. Makes total sense.
This was the lineup that they faced when the Pens won 1-0 at home:
Vatrano is better than 6 of the guys on that lineup. They just played yesterday with Johnny Brodzinski on the 3rd line. Hunt is still on the 2nd line.
Rangers got space and aren't done.
4M dollar Goodrow on the 4th line? I'd put him on the 3rd line LW since the playoffs is where he shows his worth. Him and Vatrano on the 3rd line would be solid together.
3rd line going forward barring any other moves (which I’m sure NYR will be making) should be Vatrano-Chytil-Goodrow. Perfect blend of scoring, playmaking, and checking for a 3rd line. If Chytil can bounce back to last seasons form it can be a great 3rd line which really is just what this team is missing4M dollar Goodrow on the 4th line? I'd put him on the 3rd line LW since the playoffs is where he shows his worth. Him and Vatrano on the 3rd line would be solid together.
Especially when the fourth is Forsling.If they do get him, man, they are gonna be tough to beat when 3 of their Top 4 would be Ekblad, Weegar and Chychrun
He’s a de facto upgrade over Hunt and McKegg and that’s all we NYR fans care about. We have two important forwards in Kakko and Blais out. McKegg will never see NYR again once we’re fully healthy with Vatrano in the mix. For our lowest 4th round pick it’s a win. Especially when we have 32 million in cap this deadline. He automatically becomes our 3rd best shooter after Zib and PanarinVatrano is pretty bad. His shot is great, everything else leaves a lot to be desired. Scored some clutch goals over the years, and is the king of empty netters.
This game, they used the 4th line like the 3rd line. That 3rd line was just brutal. I think they got 6 minutes. Wouldn't fly in the playoffs.4M dollar Goodrow on the 4th line?

don't worry we got Jonny Brod signed. chuckling that a McKegg, Hunt, Frankie V salary comp has to bring in Trouba.In a vacuum, price paid for player is good bargain bin hunting.
Unfortunately, it will cost more than McKegg + Hunt $ to extend so unless we win the Cup and he is instrumental, which odds are against, it will be a waste.
Exception would be if Trouba lets us deal him early, but that is also long odds.

shouldn't the same guy be equal to himself?As a Penguins fan, I don't mind this. This weakens Flordia and it doesn't strengthen the Rangers to a worrisome extent.
