You'd be a moron not to be. Think about how many names have been Rangers. Very few have delivered to match or exceed expecatations. Messier, Jagr, Gaborik and that might be the list.

Oh...I could name a few more there. But I agree, though.

Another thing to consider- When Graves scored his goals, all from in front, goalies were giving up far more rebounds than nowadays. Although Graves did take a bigger beating since refs let more things go back then.

Goalies also are better now. In 93/94 two goalies had SP of .920 or better. in 21/22 6 goalies had SP of .920 or better. (Minimum 10 games played).

Yeah, someone probably went to quote you or just mistakenly hit the report button while scrolling. Not sure what is ban worthy in that post you Wheeler hating PoS.

Hand to god 🤚 it wasn’t me 😂Tom has found a new personality this year and it’s great…we all have really. It’s been nice to all get along

IMHO This team needs a rat in the space that Wheeler is occupying. maybe it can be Cuylle or Othman but we do it need it now and its probably more than a rookie can provide.

I see othamnn that way, Marchand 2.0 and a first line winger. When idk but I’d hope it’s this year at some point. I’d rather do that then bring Kane back believe it or not it’s up to Kakko tho for either of those things to happen. He needs to start producing pronto. Chytil did this tho the year he broke out, it took a minute that season I forget when he started reaching that potential. Maybe half way through the season?

What do you mean by a rat? A pest-type player? I'd rather not unless they can stay out of the box and/or not draw attention for penalties in future games.

A guy like Brendan Gallagher for example. Can score but is a pain in the ass to play against. maybe I am overlooking that Trocheck is that guy

To be fair, I haven’t been irritated this season just yet that’s when he grinds my gears haha

Trocheck could be that guy if he had a brain.

Vinny is that type of player. Now back to centering the third line, he can do that again like he did in Carolina.

Wait until Wheeler reaches game 20 and is pointless.

Nah I’m with ya. He’s left a lot to be desired. Even those shots on net he got the other night looked like practice shots against Hellebyuk when they were teammates. I do think him and Kakko should switch if he did tinker with anything tho because I’m not sure where else to tinker. But they’re winning so it’s hard to argue for any changes

Once that third line starts scoring, he'll be fine. As mentioned, they are not giving up much of anything, so tough to complain about much of anything else. Give the team 20 games to get the system down pat. 5v5 goals will come then.

That's not gonna be good for anyone.

You'll be begging for Kane.

Let's settle down. But I will continue to manifest Elias Lindholm to the first line RW.

It’s been very quiet on the Kane front hasn’t it? Like league wide I mean. No rumored teams and such

I think that is because he simply isn't ready to return yet. Hard to know for sure though.
