Rangers top 6

Panarin Zegras Laf

😎ZZ Top, ladies and gentlemen 😎
————
Traded a lot of picks, you hate it…I get it. Hear me out. Now is the time. We’re getting youth back for these first rders where it won’t kill us. We’ll have to draft well in the middle rds which they seem to do an ok job of.

Trading 6 assets for 2, but those two are the best in the trades (proven NHL talent) and really set us up nicely at center. Weakens D but we can outscore teams now. Othmann is a very tough pill to swallow, but for Zegras I’m willing to trade him

Novak I like a lot. Idk if it would take more or not, if it did the fall back option would be Ruzicka from Calgary. Maybe for a second tho, with Edstrom

Trade Jones for anything this side of the equator

Your thoughts?🤔

Definitely gonna be relying on our top 4 to average like 24 minutes a night. Thankfully Gustafsson has been solid. I’d go Seeler instead of Staal at this point.

Only problem is that no one on that 2nd line plays an ounce of defense lol

If it's gonna cost that much to get Zegras I don't see how this is worth it.

Fun name but I see no way the organization would take to beat faceoff man out of the 2C position and replace him with zegras. Unless you move him to 3C and the 2nd line only come on for Ozone faceoffs and on the fly like when Chytil was there

Panarin and Laf have both been terrific defensively (for the most part) I get what you’re saying tho, and that line could produce a massive amount of pts

At some point we need to dive into the deep end of the pool. Can’t wait forever. They’ve given up not one prospect yet that made us squirm

If it ain't broke don't fix it. There's no need for a wake up call move like this when the Rangers are at the top of the league. Sure they're going through a bit of a rut right now but they're still playing well overall, just a string of unlucky games imo. No need to get impatient.

It’s broke tho dude. They can’t go into in the playoffs as currently constructed. They will get slammed

Are you confident with Bonino and Goodrow as 3-4 C?

4th line I don't care, 3rd line they needa get off but right now we're just injured. I would like for Drury to get a few more supporting players for the bottom 6 at the TDL.

we need a 4th line. Can’t roll 3 in the playoffs. Bonino is fine as the 4C, because he’s a good PKer blocking shots
