High percentage to win the draft lotto than making playoffs. Get on board TPC, and any other are also welcome.

I saw it coming that this team was about to implode, I just couldn't believe they beat Nashville

Nashville has lost to some crap team lately, that team needs to make a deal

Pronman on Hughes and Kakko:
Jack Hughes, C, USA, 2019: Jack Hughes missed half of the tournament due to an injury, but when he was healthy he played well and USA’s coach trusted him with plenty of ice time. His skating is off the charts and anytime he’s around the play he adds an extra gear to the pace. He showed flashes of his playmaking ability but it wasn’t consistent. He didn’t hurt his draft stock but didn’t do a ton to move the needle.

Kaapo Kakko, LW, Finland, 2019: Kakko scored the Golden Goal but also was an important player for Finland throughout the tournament. He showed a lot of skill and offensive creativity and made some unique plays. He combined that by showing he could overpower guys despite being a double underage, just as he’s done versus men. His speed’s never been great for me but he looked pro-average here. His strong tournament and great Liiga season combined with his skills have made me think the top of the draft is a 1A/1B situation.

I agree with Pronman before the tournament started it was Hughes #1 everybody else battling for two. But you can see why Kakko has vaulted into that #1 talk. He can do everything and has that knack in knowing how to score goals. Either one will look great in a Rangers sweater.

I think the fact that Hughes is a C is going to keep him in that #1 spot unless Kakko really explodes the rest of the year. People always overrate WJC performances, good or bad.

Kreider can stay. This rebuild and tank is going for the long haul. Gonna be a while with being forced to keep Staal, Shattenkirk and Smith. 2 and half more years left. Gimme all the chances to draft Hughes, Kakko, Lafreniere, Byfield (Learn that name. Having a nice season on a decent Sudbury team at age 16. )

Probably. But if team like LA took Kakko (at #1) would you be surprised? I wouldn't.

Gotta keep some vets. But Claesson, McQauid, Vesey, Hayes, Vlad, Zucc and many others all can be shipped out.

Certainly not surprised and I don't think it'd be a bad pick either. I just think that Hughes will ultimately stay in the #1 spot, save for a major regression or Kakko playing out of his mind the rest of the way in the SM-Liiga.

I hate zucc now

I refuse to look at Vesey until he stops looking like hes 12 years old

Vlad needs a haircut

Does anyone even know Claesson is on the team?

I honestly don't like one d man we play regularly right now. Even Pionk

I think Fast would be a smart acquisition for a contender

he's cheap and still has another year left and can a valuable role player

Jesper Fast receiving a lot of interest from around the league. Outside of the #NYR rentals (McQuaid, Zuccarello, Hayes*) Fast is receiving the most interest.

Hall-Hischier-Kakko is going to be a pretty sweet line.

#HWP Transaction: Brandon Halverson has been called up to Hartford from Maine. This is an unusual move, considering Tokarski & Mazanec has been great for Hartford. Injury maybe to one of them?
