Bonino is soft and slow. He is cheaper than Sutter, and his advanced stats are better in comparison, but he is slightly better than average and that's about it. The wild card here is Fehr. If he can stay healthy, after this elbow issue is cleared up, he is a really strong third line player.

Penguins, up front, are as strong as they were in 2013. But their defense is still a serious issue until further notice. Definite lock to make the postseason but I still think the Rangers and Islanders are better on the whole.

I'm a big Fehr fan. If he can stay healthy he'll be a much bigger help than a lot of people think.

Agreed.

Speaking of lists, Yahoo Sports released their Top 25 rankings in each position.

Pretty interesting that Hagelin ranked higher than Chris Kreider in the left wing category.

I guess they are basing it on Hags playing with Getzlaf and Perry

they better sign him first before anybody starts predicting 30 goals though

Agreed.

thats funny since pretty much every GM would rather have Kreider than Hags..

I just don't think Hags has the hands to score 30 goals in this league no matter who he plays with.

Grabner has a much better shot than Hagelin. Hagelin's release, accuracy and strength of shot are slightly above average.

i wonder who the rangers can bring in on a tryout this year, there are an awful lot of UFA left... many with some playoff experience but aging... I wouldnt mind taking a look at Fleischman or Havlat... just in case the youngins cant get it done.

Santorelli must be waiting for a better contract offer than a one-year deal. His reputation for being very good on face-offs would help if the price is right.
