<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I think it comes down to Quantity vs. Quality (Which is a very fine line, and is not meant to upset Rangers fans who are pretty high on Lundkvist, Kravtsov and Robertson). To me, if I'm Buffalo, I'm not doing it without Lafreniere being included. Obviously that means you're getting less pieces back overall, but I think I need to be getting someone back that may someday get to an Eichel-type level, as opposed to some lottery tickets.</div></div>

I can see both sides of it. Buffalo isn't willing to lose a franchise piece without getting the potential for one back, Rangers are not willing to move on from their top picks so early. obviously there's no compromise where you can split Lafreniere in half, so we will just have to wait and see which team breaks down first or if Buffalo decides to go somewhere else. Rangers have some great prospects to put in a trade package, but it's all about that bow on top.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Penguins_Legend_Sheary</b></div><div>I have no idea what is going on with Lafreniere. So many scouts regarded him as this franchise level LW with a similar ceiling to Hall/Nash, yet he’s playing like a bust. He didn’t look ready to step into a top line role and it doesn’t seem like he’s effective in the bottom 6 with howden either.</div></div>

the rangers as a whole have not been playing well offensively. Mika is at 3 points in 15 games, and the top 6 scoring has not had consistent scoring except for Panarin. he (Laf) has played well but nobody on the team can find a way to put up points. I think the biggest factor is Chytil's injury. Chytil was playing very well before he got hurt and gives Laf much more help than howden, rooney, PDG, etc. I'd like to see if the team and Laf can pick up the pace when he comes back (hopefully soon). and to build on your point, Laf is 19. I know stutzle is too but Laf has a little more competition for ice time, powerplay time, etc.

all that being said, K'Andre Miller definitely deserves to be in Calder talk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianfan543</b></div><div>Getting some puljiarvi vibes reading this. Tough to come into the nhl as a high pick. I am sure he will be a lot better this year especially with the team improving as a whole. Would getting laf make him more expendable though? (To get a 1B C)</div></div>

had Jeff Gorton known Lafreniere was coming, I think he reconsiders (or at least thinks twice about) Kreider's extension at the deadline. we have 5 wingers that can/should be playing top 6 (Kreider, Buch, Laf, Kakko, Panarin). starting Lafreniere on the 3rd line is fine for now but not forever...I would also expect Kakko's production to definitely increase on a line with Panarin. if it doesn't...

to return back to the main point, yes Kakko could be more expendable with Laf.
