I remember I read a post saying Rangers intend to make Laf a center. Cant remember who posted it. Do we now if the intention is to do this right away?

in the long run, sure. I think playing a full season with Jack Johnson would be worse for Fox than switching sides for a year.
Guys I just wanted to assure everyone LAFRENIÈRE Mika Kreider line is dominant. Just proved in on NHL21 case closed
Can Lafrienere play one game before we anoint him first line ready?

If anything we should be mourning for you, no way NHL 21 is worth the 60 bucks you paid haha
This never happened.
He was asked if he would be open to the idea and he said he would be.
ehhh I’ve pissed away 60 bucks on less than 20 mins worth of enjoyment before. I’ve already turned it off lol

WAAAAAAA!!!
Weren't the Rangers fifth in the league in goals scored per game last year? Yes the third line was not scoring a lot but the first two lines were definitely doing their jobs pretty well.
OK, here's something we can actually talk about today. I PMed Uncle Larry and asked if the 40/70 games played in the NHL requirement for players to be exposed in the expansion draft might be changed. He replied "Yes, that's on the agenda." I also sent the same PM to Steve Kouleas (although he usually doesn't answer) but he does have Bill Daly on today at 5 EDT so it may come up.

Yes and no. I mean the Rangers were definitely top heavy, and could afford to be more balanced. Obviously this might sound a bit silly because I am suggesting putting Zibanejad and Panarin together, but 3 of the top 5 forwards on the team are LW. Zibanejad is the only C that can be reliably counted on. I am advocating spreading out the LWs to help out the bottom six.

Rangers future on D
I mean, maybe he did read it. Anyway, yeah... it doesn't happen anymore that newly drafted r0und pegs are forced into square holes... I bet if they're kicking ass, they'll experiment around All-Star break, whenever it is. I think at first (even with injuries), you'd sooner see Blackwell as 2C than Lafreniere any C.
In the end, he's destined for C, he plays like one.

Both Raddysh and Fontaine were resigned. Just leaves Strome and Lemieux as the remaining RFAs.
That would really make sense, especially if next season is shortened too...would definitely be good for us

on the plus side that’s mad balance. On the downside there’s almost no chance that all those combinations find chemistry.

I actually would love to see the 13-72-24 young gun line, three kids at totally different stages and man did Kakko look good with Chytil. All three sheltered, I can dream.

You give David Quinn way too much credit.

he does not have that much creativity. Also, Strome might be anemic away from Panarin.

Sure, but that pretty much speaks to just dominant Panarin and ZBad were. Not that the other pieces were not good around them, but those two just dominated play.
Clearly. This looks a lot like last year when the Army of Kakko descended on anyone who right after the draft didn't deem him to be a lock for 50 points.
