hes ass but has potentail</div></div>

Anderson has more PP ice time than Laf every season since he was drafted, its not even close. Lafreniere has more points in less ice time than Anderson. Also mentioning 25 goals for Anderson is crazy considering he has done it once in his career and it was 5 seasons ago (which ironically was the only season of his career he had more points than Laf did last year). Lafreniere will sign a bridge deal in the 2-3 mil range, be cheaper than JA for at least 2 years, and almost certainly be the better and more effective player for those years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>XBestOneYetX</b></div><div>No way Goodrow gets bought out, you saw what Drury packaged to get rid of Nemeth and he had no value. Goodrow will be traded for a return or don’t be surprised if Drury packages him with Grubbe or Jones to get some draft picks this year.</div></div>

Sinking an asset just to trade him would be poor management in my opinion. Trading Goodrow creates 3.6 mil in space the next two seasons, buying him out creates 3.8 then 3.7 respectfully and wouldn't have an actual charge against the cap til 25-26. I agree Goodrow has value and will probably be traded for a pick outright but I was just trying to show that even if no one wants to take him from NYR, they can just buy him out with zero problems for the next 2 seasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Ok. Let's say the production from Kakko &amp; Tara would be equal for 2 years. Trading Kakko for a King's ransom (no LA affiliation) is the kind of move I would want my GM to do. Develop your overall program to be so interesting it attracts UFAs... Develop prospects and keep some of them and trade others for more prospects.</div></div>

I get what you're saying but I don't think it applies in this scenario at all. They don't have a plethora of winger depth, particularly as is they stand to have to move one of Laf/Panarin/Kreider to RW to fill a top 6 spot so its not exactly trading from a position of strength to restock assets. Not to mention Tarasenko is almost 32 and has a long injury history, he is far from a sure thing to continue to be as good as he was even this year. Smart teams don't trade away young ascending players to retain old past their prime vets. If Drury actually gets a offered a King's ransom of like a mid to high 1st rounder + cost controlled NHL player + a good prospect (which I highly doubt anyone would offer for either of Laf or Kakko currently) then its a different story but trading either of them for magic beans to keep Vlad is bad GM'ing. Also, respectfully, the Rangers could ice a team of mites and they'd still be a top destination for players to sign as UFAs or get traded to haha

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Are you completely against resigning Tarasenko? If I was the Rangers and he actually wanted to play for us, I would make that a priority over holding on to all of my developing players. The package you could get for one of Kakko or Laf would be significant and Tarasenko will def outperform each of them for the next 2-3 years IMO.</div></div>

I would love for them to find a way to keep Vlad but not at the expense of those two. I don't agree that he will outperform the two of them for the next few years however. If you look at just even strength scoring (Laf and especially Kakko got no PP time) Tarasenko had 0.52 points per game vs Kakko (0.45) and Laf (0.43). It isn't a huge difference (not to mention Kakko's impact off the scoresheet.) If Kakko is given a top 6 role I'm positive his scoring would go up significantly. Laf I don't feel as sure saying that about but he's flashed ridiculous talent consistently so I'd rather give him a chance and fail with him than trade him to keep an aging vet and while Laf blossoms elsewhere.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aastorino1993</b></div><div>Monahan had two injuries the last two seasons so you cannot go off of that.

Chytil was given a limited role because he didn't produce in a top role. IMO he is a 3C and the Rangers are going to continue to waste money on a guy who I think will not get any better than that.

Also, Thanks to instat (my team and I use it) and their line tracking capabilities. Monahan played half the season with Lucic, Dube, Ritchie, and Toffoli. He did play with Tkachuk and Mangiapane but barely played with Johnny. Yes, Chytil played in a third-line role, but he just doesn't produce. Don't get me wrong, I think he played decently well in the playoffs, but that is a stretch of 20 games. Can he be that consistent for a full 82-game track? I don't think he can. IMO it's better to sell now while his stock is a bit higher.</div></div>

Why can't we go off these last two seasons just because he was injured? For starters his hip injuries aren't something that will just heal and go away, it will likely be a problem for the rest of his career. Also Chytil has been hurt the last two seasons as well so I'm not sure why its an excuse for Monahan but not him.

"Chytil was given a limited role because he didn't produce in a top role" is objectively untrue though. He played in the top 6 for exactly 4 games this year and had 4 points in those games. Also I specifically mentioned over the last two seasons with Monahan's line mates. He had 468 even strength minutes with Gaudreau in 2021 alone and was squarely in the top 6 yet produced nothing. He was in a bottom 6 role this year because he literally couldn't keep up with the top guys. In fact he was the worst player on whatever line he was on almost all season for Calgary. With or without context, 29 EV points over 2 seasons is horrific.

You keep saying Chytil is in a 3rd line role but doesn't produce, but he literally doubles Monahan's EV strength production over the last two years. He played more than decently well in the playoffs too, he was the Rangers second best forward the whole postseason. He was great. Yea it was only 20 games but its 20 games against top teams in the league, you play the best of the best every night. That said, how can we know if he is capable of being consistent for a full season if he's literally never been given the chance? Give him good line mates and increased minutes and at least see if he can handle it. Also, even if you think Chytil won't get better he is still an insanely good 3C at the moment and the Rangers aren't wasting any money by paying him 2.3 to fill that role. Paying Monahan anything over 1 mil for what he is at this point would absolutely be a huge waste of money though.

I would much rather see if a young and exciting player can take the opportunity in front of him and earn the spot than watch Monahan look like he's trudging through mud next to Panarin for 82 games.
