Rooney has been an offensive black hole for most of the season. Quinn seems to think he has some skills that he doesn't. This is an indictment of PDG and Lemieux that Rooney got moved up.
He's a 4th line center. Exactly how much offense are you expecting from him?

As a 4th line center he has been fine. Problem is we also have Howden who is a 5th line center! Every game I watch I still wonder what Howden brings to the table. Not a good skater, not a physical presence, not a goal scorer and not a play maker.

All that is fine, but has nothing to do with Rooney. I would have Rooney actually be the center ahead of Howden.
 
Center prospect Karl Henriksson killing it this season with 0 goals and 6 pts in 35 games lol.

It just cracks me up that a team with such stacked prospect pool has somehow figured out a way to have such vomit enducing prospects at the important pivot position.

Gorts has a lot of work ahead of him.

Anybody want to try a NYR prospect ranking a center only?

Get your Dramamine.

Just curious. Big Zegras fan. Who would you guys trade (fair trade for both sides) to land him if somehow you could get him today?
 
When will Brett Howden score a goal? John Jackson has an equal chance of getting on the board first.
 
Buccigross says he would offer Kakko, Chytil, Schneider, a goalie, and a 1st for Eichel and he would pull the trigger in 3 seconds if he were the Rangers

Any of our prospects not named Lafreniere.

Lundkvist+, Schneider+, Kravtsov+, Miller+ pretty much any official team prospect that isn't Lafreniere plus a significant add- except Miller who would be 1 for 1.

I absolutely would not consider that.

If something like that is getting moved it needs to be a young top tier guy who also has the character needed to balance out what’s lacking here today. Eichel, character wise, seems to have the same problem this team already has so much of. No way on earth would I give up that much future for that.
