I went to the same highschool as jake, Granted he was a couple grades below me. From what i remember he was never known to have any real problems with striving to be a better player at the time. He was by a mile better then anyone else i watched play. Simply outsized and out muscled everyone, along with natural shooting skills. Obviously back then i'm not watching the fine details that really show who that player is. If i had to guess, i'd assume he's just a young male still stuck in the immature mindset of not having to work very hard, OK with just good enough. Like others have said, The players who give it their all every shift usually are the ones who didn't possess the natural talent to get them in the NHL like jake had. He was drafted #1 into the WHL, #6 in NHL, Pretty much gifted a roster spot since then, Meanwhile all those years watching guys who played with a wayy higher give a S*#% level lose a roster spot to him due to his untapped potential. I'd be willing to bet he would thrive from a change of scenery, Really needs that true kick in the pants last shot to carve out a career scare. Still think he's a 3rd liner with 2 line potential... but times a tickin for the lad in vancouver. All my opinion of course.

If he continues to impress in utica, We may need to consider protecting kole lind. WIthout really looking into all other teams and what seattle may take, It may be a damn shame to lose him considering the way he plays. He's moved to center and centering the top line as of right now...He very will could be on the radar. I wouldn't even consider protecting jake. As much as i like gauds, i do feel like the incoming prospects/potential signings or trades MAY make him redundant to the current team structure/needs.

I guess this is what happens when half your team is players that refuse to play for anyone but the rangers, And the other half is extremely overrated and overpaid ( IMO that is ) Looking at you kreider & strome. Sounds like a big riff between coach quinn and kakko, as he apparently cant play on the defensive side to save his life. Remember when the media told us the rangers did the rebuild the right way and we are the failure? LMFAO. Jumped the gun with UFA signing and should have traded the current roster players looking for the big raise when they had the chance. Look at the stat sheet rangers, Look at the character and 2 way play of OUR proper rebuild young core. Who's laughing now mfkrs

WOOW 53 points, to big contract and bust that fast. Talk about OOF. Edmondump is probably dying to find a way to take his cap hit on.
