suspected 2 year deal for Tarasenko, somewhere around $5 million per.
- BINGO!

that's fair market value.

Per game was 16 seconds.

That has to be skewed by the period where they couldn't produce with the man advantage and were trying every combination possible to jump start. I don't remember see him out there more than a handful of times, and I think I only missed one full broadcast last season.
Also, wouldn't Wheeler being a borderline elite passer make sense on the PP, if the biggest knock against him is his speed?

They can want a powerplay spilt all they want. But it won’t matter cause Panarin refuses to ever come of the ice lol. He has to lead the league in overextended shifts

The biggest factor to me is that the only time there is a swap of units is after the defending team clears the puck and of late we suck at gaining entry and setting up. So, the 2nd unit is never given a truly fair share of the 2 min, even if we do try for equal time.

Compared to his peers given his usage rate (Wheeler) he's a net negative on the power play. In terms of Goodrow, that's just his TOI break down direct from NHL.com

also, Adam Fox is arguably the best player in the league at keeping the puck in the pffensive zone and that factors in

Not saying your stat wasn't accurate about Goodie. Just that it was likely skewed by 3 weeks of heavy PP time and 5 months of sporadic use.

holy crap, I can't believe Tom pulls this off and gets multiple posts from people about worrying about (frank)ing Goodrow on the powerplay

Before the additions of Tarasenko and Kane, I remember Godorow being on it a little more than after. But in terms of this year, give that previous seconds to somebody. Not that Lavy has Godorow penciled in for that, that's what this forum is for though.

I'm as far from worried about it as possible. I'm simply trying to point out that it is very likely an unfounded concern.

This exactly. If ___ Ranger was part the conversation it's a valid topic. Now Lavy is not GG. So it's not fair to think Lavy will abide by the status quo. I just don't want to see it.

it would be an unfounded concern if Gallant was still coach

its borderline psychotic considering the entire coaching staff was changed

I try to stay positive. I’ve let last year go. While Tom still holds on to ten years ago

I just want Laf to be good and being a regular on Pp would help. I may be dumb but I think that’s logical

Correct. Rangers owe me:

1.) My money back.
2.) My Time back.
3.) A Championship.

1 & 2 are impossibilities. 3 can happen. Pay up.

That is quite literally impossible. As my opinions and analytic postings have no bearing on how the Rangers operate from an on and off ice business. I wish I did though, that would be cool.

You know, I like it. Considering the Rangers act like out of control children. In that case it's never the fault of the child, but those responsible for the Child. Considering I pay for MSG via cable, have gone to game, bought paraphernalia etc. I have to some responsibility for enable the Rangers poor behavior.

Also Dundon knows that Rod can keep him under control. That has to matter.
