I am not sure why anybody would hype on the JVR signing. It really sounds like frustration that we didn't do a whole lot this offseason so fans/writers just want something to happen even if it makes no sense. I won't even touch on the other 2. Articles that talk in absolute like "For the Rangers, he would once again provide some decent bottom-six scoring" aren't worth spending much time talking about.
1- where is he playing?
2 - He scored 6 of his 11 goals on the powerplay. We scream the kids aren't getting a chance and they went want to make it even harder for them to see powerplay time.
I don't see Kreider/Zibanejad/JVR working when 2 of them are going to the same net front area. For a 3rd line role, we have too many options that will take a back seat for this, and it would be understandable if JVR was younger and faster.
