[NYR]

Rangerboy proving his superior philosophy once again. Traded HFNYR before it's value tanked. His emotionless approach navigated these treacherous waters that the rest of us schmucks don't have enough sense to avoid.

What?! Where and how do I follow him?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

AHL is totally different this year, all the top vets are on taxi squads or playing in Europe.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I could have published it and made millions but i've gifted it to the public for free. Im basically like elon musk.

You're right Elon Musk didn't make millions, he made billions.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Our top prospects are either in Junior, KHL, SHL. Our track record with picks from a couple years ago that would be in that AHL development age of 20-23 isnt great. Our prospect ranking is high from the last 2 - 3 years.

Or the NHL ...

Panarin officially out tomorrow

Rate my defenseman comparisons...

Fox = Rafalski
Lindgren = Klein
Miller= future Victor Hedman

Either I undervalue Rafalski or you’re selling Fox short.

 

[kovazub94]

He is incapable of admitting he was wrong and apologizing. He never will.

Stand up guy, he’s not.

 

[huerter]

Either I undervalue Rafalski or you’re selling Fox short.

He played in 3 Olympics.

 

[huerter]

He played in 3 Olympics.

So did Drury. Point rescinded.

 

[huerter]

When you say future Victor Hedman do you mean Miller is like Hedman at 55 years old or Miller in the future will be like the Hedman we've seen?

 

[kovazub94]

He played in 3 Olympics.

Sure but he always seemed to be a second fiddle.

 

[Daves a mess]

@RangerBoy got run off by confrontational clicky "super posters" who didn't bring 1/100 of the info he contributed imo.

Could be. Think he was usually considered the third best dynasty devils dman after Neidermayer and Stevens

Panarin officially out tomorrow

Let's pray the Rangers come out of tomorrow's game with no new significant injuries.

 

[kovazub94]

And that’s my point. In no way I want to diminish Rafalski’s value as extremely good NHLer and an integral piece of those Devils and DRW SC winners but I just think Fox could be a level better when all is said and done.

Gorton and Davidson after they brought in Panarin and Trouba?

 

[SRHRangers]

As much as I hate it, Rafalski was great and criminally underrated.

I do see alot of his game in Fox's.

I just see more potential in Fox.

It's a very solid comparison.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Rafalski was a bit ahead of his time. Once the game opened up post lockout his numbers soared, but he was also towards the tail end of his prime.

For us to have a bottom 5 pp and offense is unacceptable for this group

Mika Buchnevich kreider Strome kakko lafreniere trouba too all unacceptable stats. Just are. I don’t care who’s what age. These are the offensive guys here. Not here for their defense.

I’m just amazed by it

plenty of kids around the league scoring. Plenty of top line guys without training camps doing plenty.

 

[Rongomania]

Panarin officially out tomorrow

We're so f*cked if everyone forgets how to score goals again.

 

[DialUp]

We're so f*cked if everyone forgets how to score goals again.

Aside from Mika, you can't forget what you didn't already know.
