I feel like he’s gonna stick around in camp a long time. Dark horse to make the opening night roster

Love to see it. Another guy who flys under the radar is McConnell-Barker. He had a really improved season for Soo as the captain (77 pts in 68 games, up from 49). He won’t make the team this season but has the all around game to be a solid 3C eventually.

The thing about sykora is he’s got a motor that never stops and is going to be a pain in the ass every shift. Bottom 6 fixture material

Maybe put Laf with Zib and Wheeler and Kakko with Panarin and Chytil. Gives Laf 2 vets that should help take some pressure off of him. Need this kid to get it going and I think this could be the year.

Laf Zib Wheeler
Panarin Chytil Kakko
Kreider Trocheck Goodrow
Vesey Bonino X

Problem is then Laf is on the 3rd line again. We need this kid to have a 50-60 pt season, for the team and for his own confidence. I don’t think he has a 60 pt season with Goodrow and Trocheck. I also think Kreider Trocheck Goodrow would be a great 3rd line together. Probably the best 3rd line we’ve had since Zucc Brass Pouliot. Kreider would still get PP1 time and his point total wouldn’t fall that much IMO.

How!? This has to mean dominos.

1 year deal, perfect for when the Rangers have cap space next off-season.

It makes sense for these guys to take one year deals. Cap should jump some next season so they can go for a bigger pay day. Expecting tarensenko to do the same

I titled this…”Handin out 800k like Oprah” 🖕

Kane and Parise got 800k, because they’d be more likely to do this 800k then say Tarasenko would imo. I’d prefer Tarasenko like most of you would.. The idea being, they can still fit in one or two more guys think which is pretty crazy.

Perhaps Miller could get a bit more than I gave him which would probably end this idea. But for now, I added more vets 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not sure how everyone feels, but I think Wheeler and Gustafson additions are home runs. Gus is very under the radar good player. And wheeler is just the perfect fit for them right now. Pitlick too I guess since I think he’s replacing Mottes role. The rest were whatevs kinda, but depth is great to have as we know. The Leschysynynyn and Carpenter days are over at least haha
