There should be no suspension. There was no head contact. 2 for elbowing was the right call. Jen is blind. He made contact with the shoulder first. And it was with the shoulder. Accoring to NHL rules it is 2 minutes.

Yeah he's backing up the sentiment some of us felt two years ago.
Laf is a Playoff Beast the type of forward you need to get through 16 wins in a condensed period of time.
It was one of the reasons I never bought into his supposed availability.

Not sure he is the dumbest player but he's right up there with meanest and dirtiest. LOL!

His backhand shot is definitely elite. That's one of the best backhand shot i've seen in a long while tbh. Backhand shots are almost extinct lot of goalies wont be ready for his backhand shots if he uses them more.Lafreniere is really hitting his stride at age 22. And this place was littered with jokers calling Slaf a bust at age 18.

Remember how I said we should trade for Laf?
And then I said we shouldn't?
Can we trade for him again?

Don't think he was ever available. It makes no sense to trade an undervalued player with potential. It's like Vlad Junior lot of Jays fans are like trade him but it would make no sense as the return would not come even close to match the potential he still has (25 is still young in baseball).

Last year he was getting blasted for being a playoff failure when he had 0 points in 7 playoff games.
People need more patience with these young kids. All last year we had jokers in here crucifying Slaf when he was 18 years old as if we were seeing the finished product.

There's undervalued and then there's bust status. Up until maybe this year I was all in on trying to get him. But I gave up on him because I figured the Rangers would want too much and he just hadn't produced.
He was really good coming into the league and there was a lot of hype. Suprised it took this long for him to 'pop' but better late than never. Looks like he's gonna be a solid player. The backhands today were sick.

Think it's a lil too late.
I still regret giving up on him to this day. The Quebec league probably overshot his production but his hands and creativity were rarely found in the first three Rangers seasons. Possible that having a good coach helped turned things around.

I'm convinced Slaf will become a special player, Maybe i'm wrong but man sky's the limit. He got good skating. A good shot. Very very good vision. Good passing skills. And on top he's a ***** beast already physically at only 19. I could see him becoming a 30 goals and 80 points power forward and those players you see one every like 15 years maybe.

Yeah, folks have this image of a 1st overall as an automatic phenom. Not the case! Most become stars or elite in their way. Just a few become generational or super league worthy.

The hands I saw from Slaf during the worlds (on a very bad team) tells me the sky is the limit with him.

Almost lost one of those hands out there! Pulled a Gally & stopped a shot with his hand. Scary moment but he seemed okay.

Pretty sure there is bad blood between Drury/Dolan and Gorton.

Half of this board would have wanted Lafleur run out of town before he hit his stride.

He was mismanaged for sure. Playing him in limited minutes with no PP time was so dumb.Think it's a lil too late.

Holy f*** Florida's a physical team! No fighters. Just a bunch of punishing greasebags that are a relentless pain in the ass to play against.

You can be fairly confident that you’re getting at least a first line player. Good chance at a star. Outside chance at a superstar…
And Florida scores

Not sure that he was mismanaged. Some players simply take a few years and require patience. Maybe the Rangers are seeing the results now because of how his development was managed. He has been playing most of his young career on a contender team.
He's so underrated. They were smart to lock him up late in the season before he became UFA this summer.

He's pretty good his new contract will be 100% fine.
I'm the only but i'd still take a shot at Lundell this summer is Florida got cap problem. If i was Florida i would not resign Mountour.
