Thread: Lafreniere Has Not Taken Enough Initiative Since Arriving
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RussianRangers9</b></div><div>so heres my cup of tea. Laf has been miles better than last year, sorry im better saying meters not yet miles. He needs his time to go boom and hes getting there. He has not been as huge as we all thought he would but thats a given as ny makes prospects seem way too much over the top. He is not near a bust, same with kakko who has been solid. Next year, laf will solidify himself for sure and maybe even this year. hes doing fine so im not too worried</div></div>

Agree 💯 with this. Also that he should be in the top 6 on the LW which means we need to move Kreids to 3LW or RW which isn’t his cup of tea either. Most people that make these “points” criticism need to factor in TOI and PP time and let’s face it, 3rd line and 2nd PP just isn’t going to produce 30G and 40A. I don’t think 97 could pull it off but might be close so there’s 0 chance anyone else can.

Thread: Is value right
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Josh</b></div><div>It's a huge overpayment for a guy that doesn't kill penalties, doesn't play C, and doesn't win faceoffs. That's what they need in the playoffs.</div></div>

Well he’s a gritty RW which we need and ya he obviously doesn’t take faceoffs and while we need that, it will be harder to come by than you may think and that only solves the problem for a playoff run and then we probably lose strome to add to it. Kill penalties, why do we need that, we have it already.. we have more than enough guys that do it. Winning faceoffs is going to require major disruption to the roster by moving Zibby or Strome out which might be a bad idea but may work out. Not like this guy has won cups in the past or just helped lead MTL to the finals 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thread: Make The Move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>Tyler Wall isn’t actually in the AHL right now, he’s playing for Jacksonville in the ECHL. If you want to try a rookie at the NHL level you’ll have to pick Adam Huska. He’s actually played very well in Hartford, but he has been the backup to Keith Kinkaid so I don’t expect the Rangers to promote him.

And has that really been Tinordi’s role this season? That may have been the initial goal, but I don’t believe that’s what transpired. Are the Sabres a highly physical forechecking team? I know Nils Lundkvist has struggled thus far but to me there’s no reason to not have confidence in him to stand his ground.</div></div>

Ya fair point about the Sabres. Who knows. Gallant was giving it to Zibby after the game so maybe Nils did something that Gallant didn’t like and it’s a punishment.

Thread: Montreal Trade Rumors
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Ok given the cap next year and that you are looking for rentals, where are the holes in the lineup? I know there are rumors of wanting a LHD but I don't see a fit with Chiarot there. Lehkonen is an RFA but I don't think the Rangers need him, Evans is an option but Montreal is already weak down the middle and Kulak is as well but his value is not high enough to be a peice for Kravstov lol. I am really wondering what Montreal and the Rangers are discussing cause yes Kravstov has great potential but we already have so many wingers under contract for 2+ years.</div></div>

I’m not so sure we are actually in the market for a LHD. Unless it’s a massive upgrade. Lindgren and Miller aren’t moving from the roster and while Nemeth might not be a fan favourite, he is there as a PK guy with grit. Our biggest hole is RW so unless we fill it with Kravs after the KHL is done then I see us moving on a rental RW if not doing both.
