Who says it won't still?

Both only 23/22

This league is so stupidly impatient 😖

Years of studies show players peak 23-31

Sometimes later too

I just meant if they hadn't demanded trades (Lias already gone, Krav probably next) and they eventually lived up to their potential with the Rangers.

I'm right there with you, I cringe at people who call Laf and Kakko busts at 20 years old each.

How do Lias and Krav delete the "need" for Nemeth and Tinordi? Should've included Libor in the title, I think. I still think there is a need for Goodrow and he's massively hated/"overpaid" meme'd on here. Unless you also mean that Gauthier would also work out in this fantasy land. He can't even crack the lineup right now when several regulars are injured...

True, Hajek is included in this too, but was talking specifically about the two forwards who demanded trades.

Andersson is a literal bust

Gotta be patient with young players....only a very small % jump into the league and do well right away. But while a team (and fanbase) needs to be patient...the player needs a good attitude. The attitudes that both Lias and Krav have shown- it's head scratching how their attitude, work ethic, or whatever else wasn't discovered in the team's due diligence prior to drafting. I mean- neither player was treated real well by the organization- but still: where does Krav come off dictating where he's gonna play? And coming to odds with NYR staff regarding off season conditioning? Really??
