Sujet: Questions for NYR fans
Everyone expects a guy taken in the top 3 to become Mcdavid or Matthews, but that is not a common thing for most prospects. I consider both to moving along fine. Laf is showing sign that he has arrived playing on the 1st line of late. Kakko is currently injured, however when healthy he plays strong on the wall, the points will come ideally I see him as a perfect compliment to panarin, and before he got hurt they were playing together a bit.

The lack of points could be for a variety of reasons. Usage for one- Kakko and Laf have not really seen a great amount of top 6 minutes or PP1 time. The PP time though is hard to argue when the Rangers powerplay is clicking like it is as a top 5 unit. And the fact that both are still very young and this is truly their first full real NHL season. A positive sign for Laf is that he scores at 5v5 and has been improving this year looking like he is coming into his own.

The easy and lazy thing to do is to call them busts. To say that either are on the same level as Matthews or McDavid is delusional as well. I think they are both high quality young forwards that will be top 6 players for a their careers. Laf to this point has "shown" more in terms of recent success, but I really like Kakko's game personally.

I am more of a glass half full fan when it comes to both of them. There are quite a few Ranger fans that can be impatient and fatalistic when it comes to prospects. With these two I want to see where they are at by age 23. Give them until then to be comfortable and fully grown. Though this current team is in desperate need of depth at forward, and I will be curious to see what happens at the deadline. I would stay away from moving Laf or Kakko by any means necessary, and trade draft picks and other prospects to acquire the necessary firepower. Hope my ramblings helped.

eye test for each major prospect.
Laf: He has arrived and is ready to be the top line leader. last 4 games on top line have been amazing. holding puck, making plays, getting into the dirty area and scoring.
kakko: before injury, he was impossible to get off the puck. he could dangle and got unlucky with a few close goals and assists. he needs consistency like laf got and he will thrive again.
miller: top 4 dman and could be 1st pair in a year or 2. amazing player with some mistakes.
schneider: hes what we want from trouba. hes a potential top 4 or even top 2 defenseman and could just make our defense only better.
Nils: He is nhl ready. he needs a good partner not named nemeth. he can skate and create plays while being decent to good on defense.
jones: fox-esque. he could be amazing he just needs to play.
Kravtsov: i watch all the russian games. he can play and his only problem is with drury. he has value to any team and he will be a top 6 winger

Sujet: Last effort for Dvorak or Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>As a Sabres fan, i don’t think I’d do it
To trade Eichel to you guys, the Leafs, or Boston- i would want a major overpayment
And while the 1sts are nice….
I just don’t love those prospects at all really

Can’t see u guys getting Eichel from us without including Caufield or Suzuki…. OR BOTH</div></div>

I see this comment a lot, however Sabre fans have to realize that Eichel is injured and requires major career threatening surgery. There is no way any teams should be willing to give up what equates to 4 1st's plus or Mortgage the future for him. Buffalo is NOT going to win any Eichel trade, this and any other trade that includes Suzuki or Caufield is a win. Eichel is a 90-100 point player look at what the package includes. Drouin a 50 point player, KK a potential 50-70 point player, Romanov a top 4 Dman, and 2 1st round picks. The package replaces what Buffalo lost in Eichel both production wise and on the defensive side and then goes above and beyond that significantly. The sum of these parts is worth more than the whole (Eichel) when he is not injured factor in the injury and its a HUGE overpayment.

Sujet: One trade at a time for a total fix
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>honestly speaking, if you want to fill the 2 Center role you are going to have to give up one of Kreider, Kakko, Buchnevich or Panarin. Unless your plan is to trade 1st OVA! By my estimation Panarin, Kakko and 1st OVA are likely not being traded. So that leaves Kreider or Buchnevich the question then becomes who does your trade partner want. Likely 9 out of 10 teams are going to want Buchnevich as he is simply the better player. Most Montreal fans would consider a Kreider trade as sacrilegious after him injuring Price LOL. So your probably not getting an offer for Kreider to the Habs, so your going to have to suffer through a lot of Buchnevich proposals.</div></div>

The issue with it for me is not trading Buch or DeAngelo, of course you have to give to get. I'm a big Buch fan which hurts but I know that he's an appealing piece for a lot of teams.

It's that the return, to me, isn't good enough. Brook is a throw-in; the whole reason we can trade DeAngelo is because we have no use for a mediocre prospect with Trouba and Fox here to stay and with Nils Lundkvist on the way for the bottom pairing spot. For us, Brook would just be another D prospect eating minutes in Hartford; it just doesn't move the needle. Armia is a pending UFA whose signing rights are not really worth anything (a player who would get big money like Kevin Hayes' signing rights was only like a 4th or 5th round pick, a player like Armia whose UFA market would be much smaller would be worth much less). If you removed those two pieces, it wouldn't change the value of the deal to me at all.

Domi and a 2nd are cool, but I'm personally not a big Max Domi fan, I personally wouldn't think to target him because a) I'm not certain the Rangers would be looking for another very offensively minded player who struggles defensively; I would think that they would be trying to target a player that brings more to the table defensively, since that's an area they struggle and b) I'm not convinced of his value as a 2C (though this is of course arguable, I'm not saying this as a "you're wrong" type comment, just explaining my pov).

The 2nd is nice because we don't have one this year but if we're trading NHL talent in Buch/DeAngelo for Domi to plug a hole at 2C, I don't think a future asset is something that's so appealing to the Rangers that it acts as the sweetener it is meant to be; if the Rangers are making a trade like this, it's to trade from a position of strength (winger that we have many of and our 3rd pairing RHD that should be playing a higher role and that we can replace with a prospect already in our pipeline in the next couple of years) to address a position of weakness (2C) in the interest of significantly improving the team right now, and the 2nd doesn't really help us do that directly.

It's not a bad idea by any stretch, there have been rumours I've seen of NYR inquiring about Domi, this is all just my personal take. I'm sure he would cost more, but I would personally be more interested in acquiring Danault because while he may not have the offensive abilities that Domi has, he brings a lot to the table defensively and in the faceoff circle that I think would be useful to diversify the Rangers and I think is a more steady C vs Domi being, to me, more of a winger, and probably would have similar contract demands. Again, not trying to dump on the proposal, just giving my opinion.
