Kakko and Laf can be declared as busts now. Officially. And yeah, good luck with Panarin, guy is a cancer in the playoffs with his caphit and terrible play. They have Igor and that´s basically it. Even Fox sucked.
Honestly I thought Kakko was one of the Rangers best overall forwards (him and Chytil). He scored a few points, was a beast along the boards and behind the net, had a +2 penalty differential, and had really strong underlying 5v5 numbers.

Lafreniere was pretty much invisible though.

Yeah, Kakko could potentially become an effective 3rd liner in this league for years to come. Not sure about Laf. He´s got nothing.

Kakko is for sure already a 3rd line player. Scored 40 points this year with pretty much no meaningful PP time (<1m per game) while playing very strong 2 way hockey.

To make a long story short, yellow is quality.

If you're on the right side of zero, you're good at it, and obviously the left side (negative) is bad.

The Rangers, despite being the 7th best team by this metric, don't have any yellow. They don't generate any quality scoring chances. The team is bad at offense.

"Just drive the net!" There's four guys standing there. The Rangers have no ability whatsoever to draw defenders out of position.

Many teams in the east made trade deadline acquisitions and it was impossible for all of them to make it far. There were always going to be some disappointments no matter what.

This is actually hard to believe.


Is it? He has been in the league for years now and being disappointing and lacking consistency is nothing new for him. The man was simply invisible against the Devils.
