There are people who also believe in Bigfoot. Not because they have seen one themselves but because they've heard of it and think it may be possible.

Exactly, this year, as much as management can't really say it out loud to the fans and players, is lost and the games mean pretty much nothing for anyone except kids proving themselves and maybe new acquisitions wanting to do the same. The "goal" is pretty much just to make it to the end of the year.
Next year, the goal isn't to win the cup obviously, but it should be to start acclimating some of the kids to the league and see what we have in them, see how they do along with the vets in building a competitive team. Get a feel for how far they are, how far the whole organization is, what positions needs to be supplemented, where we have surplus etc. Next year should not be an entire season of lost and meaningless games.

Ottawa has 52 pts, so it could happen @Machinehead - I think Oilers will get past us on the table - so maybe we will end up with the 5th or 6th overall pick at earliest, or we win the lottery for #1.
Anyway Gorton indirectly said it`s not vital to get one of the top 3 picks - so he actually said and hope we are going to win some games end of this season.

Imo there's no debating that getting 1OA would speed things up tremendously and change the whole landscape of the rebuild. The isn't an RNH or Yak kind of year for the 1OA. But yeah, the difference between Svech and Zadina or Boqvist or something like that shouldn't be all that huge. I'd still love Zadina though. He seems like an NYR type.
I said the same thing. Getting him at a good point in his career. I like him on the wing
Spooner already revealed his passing skills in his 1st game as a Ranger. Even twice. I mean his passes to Miller when the 1st goal was scored and to Hayes when the 2nd one was scored.
He looked great in his first game and from all I've read hope they keep him around for a while. Could see this finishing out the year:
Kreider-Z-Buch
Names-Hayes-Zucc
Vesey-Spooner-Fast
Carey-DD-Letteri

I'd like to see Namestnikov get to play his natural position.
K - Z - B
Spooner - Nam - Zucc
Vesey - Hayes - Fast
One thing I am REALLY impressed with is how Spoons creates space in tight areas - I think that’s an amazing attribute to have as a player. He is doing it pretty often too. Pretty good playmaker and distributor of the puck.

His vision and passing is unreal. I wish we had a real sniper on the team to see what they can do together

Grabner is selfish, Spooner is selfless. There's a romantic analogy in there somewhere.
