Thread: Laffy or Othmann play RW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>I’m just saying No way Edstrom produces better than Leschyshyn in the AHL. There’s a reason one of them went in the 2nd round and the other in 6th round

Also you’re referencing points as a way to be successful in the NHL, when 4th liners rarely produce. He needs to figure out his game and he could be a fine 4C eventually</div></div>

Edstrom doesn't have to out produce Leschyshyn to (eventually) be a better fit on a 4th line. And Leschyshyn was drafted 6 years ago at this point and hasn't been able to stick in the NHL, where he was drafted is irrelevant. There are plenty of examples of players that put up great numbers in the AHL but can't make it in the NHL.

Of course points aren't everything especially 4th liners, but the most effective 4th lines can still chip in occasional offense (being on offense is the best defense). 0 points in 35 games, regardless of role, is brutal.

All that said:
1. I would be happy to be wrong about him
2. If Leschyshyn being on the roster next year is my biggest complaint about the team, things are probably going well

Thread: what i want
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>This seems the most realistic imo. But do you really think Vesey will ply first line?

I never see rangers fans do this, but why not but Goodrow over vesey? Goodrow is actually good, he was just a weird fit in NY imo. He could really thrive in a first line role though. Plus, Vesey really isnt good imo. Hes a solid depth piece but nothing more while Goodrow has proven to handle top 6 numbers pretty well. Just a thought tho</div></div>

Regardless the top 6 on the right side has to be two of Kakko, Laf and Wheeler. Preferably the first two if Laf can actually make the transition to the right side.
Goodrow is terrible in the top 6 and always drags down whoever he plays with. Vesey should only be a 4th liner but in a pinch he is the better option to move up the lineup if needed.
