We have 24 of the 32 teams taken. Hope is to start the mock draft Thursday and fill in as we go if need be

Not that it matters but he has 2 38 point seasons

Who do you want on our 4th line? Young, 30+ point, physical, defensively sound forwards are not 4th liners or cheap

You’re right, it doesn’t matter bc it was 5 and 6 years ago.

But you have to see how unrealistic you are in what you want and expect to pay for bottom 6 players.

The fact is that paying for 4th liners that won on other teams is not a smart strategy. Goodrow is prime example. Focus should be on finding the next goodrow, not signing him after he won. Why I think the bertuzzi talk is crazy. He’s gonna be wildly overpaid. Easier said than done but buying past success in a cap league is a losing strategy

getting tired of seeing mediocre goalies win cups when we can't do poop with elite goalies.

Our 4th line must all be in their early to mid twenties, over 6’2, score 40 pts, play defense, and make under $1m

Well, Bertuzzi is also not a bottom 6 player. Hes a 2nd liner with the potential to be a 1st liner.

I was gonna say that too. We need some players with some jam.

Marschessault wins the Conn Smythe trophy too 😂

So Eichel wins it before McDavid even makes it to the finals. Crazy

Not at all, I wanted Kostin last year (ppl on here said why would they trade him, he then got traded for a bag of pucks) and had a very good year for EDM.

To me a 4th line should look something like:
Comtois Kostin Cuylle

High energy, hits, can fight, cheap with a ton of upside. That’s what a 4th line should look like.

You’re correct, wasn’t even worth the bag with the puck.

- jimbro83

I mean, Howden sucks also, and when u have a 7th overall pick, you need to give him playing time. Is it on Lias that his career sucks? Yes. Are the Rangers partially to blame for not developing him properly to at least be a productive NHL player? Yes.

Rangers just wanted Lias to play in Hartford but he refused, meanwhile he's got no problem playing with the Kings AHL affiliate

I agree, that and his video game addiction didn’t help himself. With that being said, let’s take a look at the Rangers top 10 picks, Kravtsov Lias Kakko Laf, not a single one has developed as we hoped. That can’t be they all suck, the Rangers have something to do with that.
