Thread: Im starting to see why Gallant is fired often
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ab27</b></div><div>The only player I could see them exchanging is Trochek so that way when they play the puck to Mika, he is looking at more options (one-timer, slap-pass to Kreider, or small pass to bumper position for shot). I think Trochek can be your net front, face off winning player on PP2. You could stick Laffy or Kakko in that position (I think they are both lefty) instead. I just don't like the forced Mika one-timer as it has lost its effectiveness.

**I also appreciate the nearly hourly of reading all of this and seeing how much I agree with my fellow Rangers fans lol.</div></div>

Mika's 1 timer has become less effective because:
1. They know it's coming (only OVI can get away with this!)
2. He misses the net so much- maybe because he's shooting for a spot (due to #1)?

Putting a left hand shot across from him (where Panarin is playing) might help fix both #1 and #2....at least worth trying- all the while giving PP2 a boost!

Thread: Tarasenko is a Better Blockbuster Option than Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>ill take that bet
Ill stipulate they'll be conditioned for sure
But Vlad is one of the most dominate goal scorers the past 10 years and won a cup
You'll be shocked to learn Contenders covet these things and as far as cost goes

Hagel got 2 first round picks and two prospects taken in the 2nd round last year
Just saying Captialism is Supply vs Demand and with 22 teams buying that makes it fun this year
Especially when of those remaining 10 teams out of the playoff picture not buying that only 4 so far are actively selling.
ANA was trying to end its rebuild with the addition of Klingberg to back up Gibson but instead they're gonna get a top pick thanks to injuries piling up.
I doubt they blow it up and sell more then Klingberg and most of the 10 teams out of the playoff are in similar positions.

I just dont see how with whats available that Taresenko gets less then a 2 first round picks.
I mean if STL was open to taking just one they woulda closed the deal last TDL but felt lowballed
The reason they held out is they understand how the TDL works with Supply vs Demand dictating Value</div></div>

Not event gunna read past the "Hagel got 2 first " because he had multiple years on a very low aav. Tank won't fetch more than Kane especially with your logic, considering Kane has been one of the best players in the league for 15 years and has 3 cups

Hagel had 2 and a half years left on a low Cap 3 year deal...and that's before he becomes an RFA again. Not an expiring Contract. Completely different.

More term, than Yes, probably multiple 1sts. But that's not the case.
