  1. Kreider , Zuccarello, St Louis, Stepan and Nash will crack 50 points next year, sure. But Richards will be gone, Hagelin has never even come close to 50 points and Brassard has never broken 50 either.
  2. They have six at best. Two of which are buyout candidates that are declining fast and likely won't hit 50 again. They're going to be pretty mediocre next year. Also, Lundqvist is 32. The likelihood of him playing at his current level for the duration of his monsterous deal is slim to none. He's got 2-3 seasons tops of this level of play.
  3. They don't have first line caliber players aside from St Louis. Honestly, if St Louis' mother doesn't pass away, they would have rolled over versus the Penguins. That event caused the team to get closer and rally around together and play some really inspired hockey. The Rangers are going to go the route of the devils after their cup run. They are going to lose Richards to a buyout, Nash is terrible and has an albatross of a contract, St Louis will be retiring soon, their prospect pool is the worst in the league and they don't have their next two first rounders. Also, as good as Lundqvist is, That contract is brutal and will look even worse in a few years. The future is bleak for that team.
  4. JVR on twitter: there may not be a worse feeling than what the rangers are feeling right now Logan couture : there is.
  5. Regehr coming back for game 2 may work in New York's favor. Hasn't played in a while and he's pretty slow, so he'll likely have problems with the Rangers speed. Still think LA's got the series, but I think they lose game 2. thought this was pretty hilarious too: http://theroyalhalf.com/madison-square-staples-center/ Kings take out an ad near MSG with Will Ferrell lmao.
  6. Source? They say adversity builds character and this kids had his fair share. He's got an autistic sibling and his mother beat cancer. He's extremely grounded and an amazing player. One of the youngest players in the draft and is still growing by all accounts. If he drops we would be extremely fortunate and he'd be a corner stone piece, no doubt.
  7. That would literally be my dream come true :D
  8. Fair enough, I certainly respect your opinion, I just can't comprehend how you came to it. Well actually, before our draft position was locked in I was hoping we'd draft Nylander. But as I watched the QMJHL playoffs and read more on Ehlers I was pretty high on him. I still have Nylander 6th, and Ehlers 7th, but I would be happy with either or if none of the "top 5" drop. Also a bit disappointed with the lack of information on Ehlers at the combine. No interviews or news whatsoever on him.
  9. Yea I'm a big Ehlers fan, but that's just crazy. Seriously underrating Bennett's skill. He's one of the youngest players in this draft and even though he's small, you certainly wouldn't know it by watching him. He's a firecracker plain and simple. When a team gets him on a strength and conditioning program, look out.
  10. To be fair, he had an unbelievably unlucky year. He was injured all summer so that definitely hurt him, comes back gets injured blocking a shot, comes back too early and re-injures the same injury. He was improving steadily every year in the AHL and in the lockout shortened season he actually held his own defensively. I think he still has upside, but as others have said, he needs to add some intensity to his game. He plays far too passive and is outmatched up the middle in the Pacific division. I think giving up on him given his circumstances and not even seeing him play a full year would be foolish. He'll have had all summer to train and will come in fully prepared for next year. I think he deserves another chance before we cut him loose.
  11. That's because they're not role players, they're budding young stars playing on the second line..
  12. Hard to believe Benning would trade Horvat after he just came out publicly saying how much he liked Horvat. Could be what Florida asked for, but I don't think Benning entertained that for very long.
  13. Their team is bleeding cash and taking on a 4 year 4.6 mil contract would be a tough pill to swallow, I'm sure.
  14. I think 6th, Garrison and 36th for 1st and Jovo might get it done. Obviously we'd buyout Jovo
  15. Would be a great way for Benning to put his stamp on the franchise. Price is likely too high though, but holding out hope they can get something reasonable done.
  16. Nucks have absolutely no chance of competing with either team in the next 5 years.
  17. Habs ain't sniffing the Ecf again with this forward group, more specifically up the middle
  18. Prefer to see the Rangers come out of the East, but I want to see a game 7 so....go Habs!
