I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he reminds me of Dubinsky.

I absolutely love his game and his skating improved so much this summer. His feet are much quicker. His offense will come even more.

Kids a beast and continues to get better. Building off a solid rookie campaign.
Don’t be surprised if he settles somewhere in the top 6 in the next 2-3 seasons.
Always finishes checks, goes to the right spot on the ice, and the puck seems to follow him. He is a quintessential “ make your own luck” type of player

Cuylle doesn’t seem to have the same playmaking/puck handling tools that Chytil and Kakko have on the third line (he made several pass attempts through the high slot against the Habs last night which were easily read and picked off) but his skating is a huge plus and he has a good stick, both of which (along with his size) keep him where the puck is in traffic. His offensive positioning has improved to the point where he could realistically serve as a mix between Kreider and Callahan with a lower offensive ceiling.
Even if he tops-out as a third line 15-goal energy guy, that’s a better return on investment for the Rangers than anyone could have hoped for four years ago. He was certainly an asset to the forward corps throughout the playoffs.

I think you are erring on the side of caution.
13 goals as a rookie. Playing with guys who were not generating offense… With the right linemates (like 72-24 are playing right now) I see him as a perennial 20-25 goal scorer, 45-50 point guy who leads he team in hits.
Right now I see his line as our second line. I have no problem saying he’s already a middle sixer, rather than pure 3rd liner.
And lost in all this is he’s still just 22… he’s got more runway. His ceiling may be higher than we’ve been giving him credit for… power wingers take more time…

you might be right. i just rather we lock him up to a 6 year deal as a 15 goal energy guy than as a 45-50 point middle 6 power winger.

He has some limitations offensively but seems to do everything else well. Big, strong, can skate, forechecks well, cycles, goes to the net. If he can add PK'ing to his resume, he will evolve into one of those glue guys that every team needs. He has salvaged the Andersson mess.

That assumes we have the cap space to give him a long-term deal. With everyone else we need to sign, that's far from a given.
