<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dtd_tank</b></div><div>I'm not a fan of either team of any of the players involved. I'm as unbiased as they come here.

Nylander comes with an 8 yr extension, so you actually have him for 9, not 1.

Laf is not proven to be more than a 3rd liner at this point, but has upside to become top 6. Nylander was 20th in league scoring this past year and has 74 G the last 2 seasons, which is certainly top line quality. He can also play C in a pinch while being a RH shot which NYR only has 1 of out of its top 6 wingers.

Miller is a top 4 Dman, but not a "top LD". He could become a 1st pairing LD, yes, but I don't think anybody is expecting him to be a Norris contender at any point (which would make him a "top LD").

Lastly, Goodrow here is a cap dump, actually. Robertson has relatively low value in the scheme of things.</div></div>

Trouba was brutal last year which effected Miller overall stats. He was cleaning up all of Trouba's mistake. With that being said, he still gets 43 points without being on the PP and you only can imagine what them stats would be if he was on the PP. It's his Def that really stands out if you watch him.

Laffy is so much better then what the stats are showing. We're under playing him because we have LW Kreider &amp; LW Panarin. It's not because he's not good enough on why he's not playing top LW. It's because of this damn peeking order this Rangers teams has, which is extremely frustrating. Watch for Kreider to be playing 3rd line LW next year. Rangers first line Laffy-Mika-Kakko next year. Then what will the naysayer say now.

That's the different from being a Rangers fan to not being one. Because you didn't know any of this. Miller is a top LD and Laffy is a top LW.
