Who on your squad is the player that has some potential and shows flashes but can't seem to get their game together?

Players you're afraid to keep since their value is dropping but also afraid to trade in case they catch fire somewhere else?
 
Ville Koivunen

Vast majority of Pens fans are down on him but he's only had 1 NHL season to show his stuff.He's snakebit in terms of goal scoring and he could still turn into a good NHL player (also he could bust, of course)
He’s got the hands and the brain, but not the shot and especially not the skating. He may not be a good enough athlete to be in the NHL—too slow and soft. But I agree with you, let’s give him another year, at least, given he’s a 1 point per game AHLer in his first two years in North America and just turned 23.

Oliver Kapanen. 37 points (including 22 goals) in his rookie season. Good on face-offs, good shot, and good in the defensive zone. For me, he's an excellent third-line center, but many fans attribute his production solely to Demidov. I'm afraid the Habs will trade him and regret it.

yeah he could surprise .
 
i’d like to suggest a kapanen and struble or a dach and struble for scheider and pick or player . helps balance our d , your d . dach/kapanen could surprise .
Kapanen for Schneider would be a start of something to discuss although Rangers need young d 20 21 22 AHL with NHL potential or center depth, can Kapanen play center long term?. Dach way too injury prone. Could have kept Chytil if they wanted an injury prone player.
