Hags.

 

[pld459666]

Miller easy.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Yikes. No wonder they could never get over the hump.

 

[nyr2k2]

As much as I love Hags and dislike Miller, it has to be Miller.

 

[BKGooner]

Hags no doubt in my mind. Third line actually matches up well against anyone’s. The high end talent is questionable but depth is strong.

 

[aufheben]

Give me the flow.

 

[haohmaru]

Hags - great 3rd liner + PK.

 

[Edge]

Miller.

Though as I said previously, Hagelin's numbers are closer than I thought.

But warts and all, Miller was a 20-25 goal, 50+ point player for us.

Have no problem voting Hagelin for the fourth line spot.

 

[TheDirtyH]

HAGELIN!

also carp listed Rick Nash as his #1 LW of the decade.
So, I've now come around that he's in fact a RW.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

HAGS. Still missing him. I just loved watching that guy skate. He was more of a game changer than Miller with all that speed he brought to the lineup.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'm still not too sure why Dubi is slotted as the 2LW of the decade, but c'est la vie.

 

[kovazub94]

C’mon, got to be Miller ahead of Hags regardless of how you think about them on a emotional-personal level.

 

[EpicDing]

JT Miller even though I hate the guy

 

[Maximus]

Yeah begrudgingly it's JT for me tho I have a real sweet spot for Hags and even Grabner.

If you think about it, Grabner was to this day one of Gortons best signings as he was en fuego for us winning the league's " Cy Young award" both years he played for us.

Had he scored even half of his breakaways, he might have threatened 35-40 goals for us in 2016 and 2017...lol

 

[Fitzy]

Miller nearly led NYR in scoring a few seasons, as frustratingly inconsistent as his play was.

I think he and Hayes are getting punished for that in the voting.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Hagelin. Scored at a top-6 rate and was an elite possession driver and was part of our best lines for quite a while.

 

[CasusBelli]

Vesey

 

[Barnaby]

I’d rather use my vote to make Vesey a -1

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

Hags. I feel like he had more of an impact in the post seasons than Miller.

 

[Fugazy]

Hagelin got my vote.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Hagelin. Scored at a top-6 rate and was an elite possession driver and was part of our best lines for quite a while.

Same, though I will say I have both of these guys ahead of Dubi.

 

[Doctyl]

This is horrid lol. No wonder we didn’t win

 

[bbny]

Gimme Hags. Miller scored more but Hags offered so much more in basically every aspect to the team.

 

[Crease]

Miller showed up on the scoresheet but I feel like Hags was the more impactful player.
