Quoting: Poogy
Rangers fans seem to have an inflated sense of Laf's worth. The Canucks won't trade for him anyways.
Its not that we have an over inflated sense of his worth.
Its that we actually see that he put up just shy of 40 pts while playing 3rd line minutes and almost no pp time.
at 5v5 while playing 15 minutes a game he put up 39 points. He was a top 50 LW with those numbers. Thats a top 6 winger. Who if you bridge, is now making 2-3 million.
He's got positive metrics across the board.
The biggest complaint is that he's not the fastest skater, which can be improved.
The rangers don't want to move on him because the odds are as soon as he isnt blocked, he's going to have a monster season. Ranger fans are hoping it'll be for the rangers, and so any trade proposal would need to be an overpayment.
