Rangers fans whine about how every other franchise had a horseshoe up their ass. The last two drafts were pretty horseshoe ish
Haven't had this feeling since Ewing was #1!

So psyched!!!  
BestFeature : 8/10/2020 7:12 pm : link
Oh and btw. For the conspiracy theorists out there.

1) In 2005, the Rangers had exactly the same probability of the #1 pick as the Penguins. The Penguins got Crosby and the Rangers had the lowest pick from all of the teams with the number of balls the Rangers have.

2) The Edmonton Oilers don't move the revenue needle for the league, won the lotto 3 times in 3 or 4 years.

3) The NJ Devils don't move the revenue needle for the league, won the lotto twice in 2 or 3 years.

4) The Rangers got the #2 pick last year, if the lotto was rigged they would have gotten the #1 pick instead of the small market Devils, not like it would raise more eyebrows than the #2 pick.

Yes. We've been spoiled with the likes of Bobby Sanguinetti, Dylan McIlrath, and Michael Del Zotto in recent memory. Yeah, we're crushing it over here with 1 cup in an almost a 100 year span. Sorry.

Fair enough. Meanwhile, Lafreniere actually looks like a young man. Quite the difference from Jack Hughes last year, who looked like he was a day removed from his Bar Mitzvah.
That NMC clause on Kreider is gonna be tricky  
Sonic Youth : 8/10/2020 7:17 pm : link
I read online LaFreniere can play RW, not sure if that's accurate, but he shoots lefty so maybe? Pjacs, got any insight into that?

In any case, what an awesome problem to have!

I was really good friends with this girl I worked with back in 2014 who was an ex-Falcons cheerleader and shows up on news channels and stuff, just your classic absurdly hot blonde girl.

She met MDZ one night at some club, wouldn't go home with him, and one day I got a text from her of 4 (four!) screenshots from "Mike Hockey" of him send endless "u up?", "come to Philly I'll get you a cab" texts without her ever responding back.

Neither here nor there but funny either way. Like c'mon bro, you're an NHL player, you can't get laid by some model hot girl in your own town?

Doesn't Kreider already have a NMC, or can be he be traded before the extension kicks in?

Yes. You cannot begin to grumble either about the Giants having a 2-14 record this year for the very detail they won the Super Bowl in 2011.

He has a NMC, so he'd have to waive it

Same exact time frame also. I'd be on the subway with her back before every station had WiFi, we'd be at Union Sq and she'd just get like 3 texts from Del Zotto hit her inbox and be like "hes sooo fucking annoying"

No lie, I knew some girl as well who Del Zotto was sticking it to down in Texas. Seems as if this guy had a fondness for luring women into sleeping with him by showing highlights of him playing shitty hockey.

(The 2012 series vs the Devils must've been the one that fastened his chances)

I don’t think we need more stars at this point. The pieces are there for a cup run as soon as two years from now. Just can’t make a mistake with Managing the defense Budget because windows open and close quickly in this league.

Does this change the view on buying out hank? They need to protect as much of the 2021-2022 payroll as much as possible. Also I assume we don’t need to ‘protect’ lefreniere or kakko in the Seattle expansion draft.

The new rumor is that Henrik would retire from the NHL and go back to Sweden to play with his brother at Frolunda.


And no, Laf and Kakko are exempt. No need to protect them.

Alexis Lafreniere  
M.S. : 8/10/2020 7:37 pm : link

In the last 3 seasons with the Rimouski Oceanics, he has played in a total of 193 games, scoring 127 goals and gathering 200 assists.

That comes to 327 Points, or 1.7 Points per game.

There is ZERO chance the Rangers do not call his name with the #1 overall pick.

Zero.

And as much as I like giving Anak shit, he's not completely crazy about Byfield.

Yes, with all the current data it's Lafreniere hands down, BUT the junior hockey season may startup before the draft is even held and a 6'5" center who's a year younger than Lafreniere might have a chance to close the gap. Scouts will certainly be watching closely.

Good shit either way.

The kid is a star, no reason to get cute and draft a project center when Lafreniere is sitting there as the clear number 1. Dumb conversation.

Lmao, who knows, maybe. But getting hit on by athletes or absurdly rich people wasn't a new thing for her, so weirdly I don't think he'd even register on the "fame-fucker" scale. Besides, I think MDZ being a tool is the bigger part of those texts. When I say endless, I mean like 30-40 unanswered texts lol

Point being, maybe he doesn't look like so much of a project when he's playing a Jr season at the age Lafreniere was last year.

I don't really give a shit, they're gonna get a stud either way.

If Byfield does close the gap it's a choice between a Svechnikov/Draisaitl type or a Malkin/Getzlaf type. Fuckin sign me up either way.
