Yup, Certainty better than uncertainty so even from the futures / prospects pool management perspective it's better to make playoffs and give up this draft pick in a weak draft year too. Pretty easy decision making here.

My Vancouver scout said he sucks. Don’t know who to believe
No, not at all...as others have said, they didn't play particularly bad. But they generated nothing, so no you can't say they got 'goalied'.
Last night the issue was faceoffs. I think they lost the opening faceoff cleanly every time for an Oilers clear. They actually did a good job re-entering and getting setup after though.
As a whole the PP does suck and not goon enough, just a microcosm of the team itself really.
They had the most points in the NHL, do they need to win every game wire to wire? And the point wasn't how good they were. They were resilient ands clutch amd this team is neither of those things.
I guarantee you most Presidents' Trophy teams are at the top of the league in that stat. This is hockey you'll be down in games quite often. And the Rangers have done well in that stat three straight years. And if they were lucky last year, are they unlucky this year or does that only work when you want to trash the team?
I agree but I have large doubts any of our current rookies (Oth, Berard) will ever become Bread or CK. We will have to keep looking for that kind of production.
Glad you said it, because that is what I wanted to point out. He's been great, and has gotten the accolades for it, but he really did stink yesterday. 2 backhanded passes that got out of the zone another few into turnovers. Missed shots, was unlucky with that post shot, guess you cant be good every game, def was off. Don't wanna bash Jones, as everyone has said it all already.
I'm less angry about this game, because they actually competed. 3 games in 4 nights but just didn't have enough to win. Igor was good but NEEDED to be the one to win it 2-1, but noooooo!
You're right, they won't. We need to completely rebuild our talent pipeline. Its going to take years or a miracle homerun trande or something.
We're screwed.
I'm an HF doc in training, but I noticed yesterday while Kreider was waiting for Miller to get off the ice after the first period. He was standing how I stand if I'm standing too long with a stiff and sore back, usually after the gym. I'm not saying it still bothers him, but it's just something I noticed. I never really noticed him doing that before, and he's frequently shown waiting for teammates after the period.
This is a symptom of being butt hurt.
Yes and also the most offensively inept team in the league
Zac Jones is in the penalty box 3 times a game. He's horrible
This is the vital insider information I come back here every day craving.
It's like free medical training.
Team has not had an official winning streak since mid NOV , every time I think I am going to get to use the we back up meme in the PGT I am left disappointed ...........seems like 2 wins in a row is all they can muster .......
Jones has been in the box 6 times in the past 20 games. The most in a single game was twice (although once was for a 4 min penalty)
And shesterkin gives up another questionable third period go ahead goal that he never did early in his career. Guy used to lock shit down
