No but he could be playing against man in the Liiga in Finland. Only thing that's going to save him is the bigger ice surface.

Just serve his @ss pancakes on the daily, hit the weights and he'll pack on a few pounds.

The reports I read said Day could be one of the best skaters in the draft. In today's NHL that is what you want so I am happy

Nah, why would the Rangers make the one move they really need to in order to compete with the big boys?
- MidnightMarauder


Does it matter either way? They don't have the offensive talent to supplement. They don't have a Tyler Johnson or kucherov or palat to chip in real offense. All of the pass first guys won't change now in their careers. The players that have bricks for hands won't change. Hayes and Miller are the only 2 that I see improving. Sure Buchnevich COULD be something. But let's be honest, Stamkos coming here means that Nash is most likely gone. So Stamkos will be the goal leader here then only score a few goals in the playoffs and it'll be the same cycle we have seen. Can't compete when there aren't any other threats.

Guys I'm sorry I know you will either blow me off or completely disagree but this is the problem with this team. No offensive threat leads to too much pressure on D and Hank. They got away with it because of speed and the D being younger, but this is not the same team that went to the finals or won the presidents trophy.

Tyler Johnson is not god dude.

Kucherov is very good but I beg to differ about the Rangers offense not being good enough.

If they essentially swap Stepan for Stamkos, without losing anyone else up front, the team will be extremely strong offensively.

A meh pick but that's what you get at this point in the draft. Not much indication of a potential diamond in the rough but we shall see.

Some Rangers fans on Instagram are wondering why Day is wearing a #16 jersey. Some fear they got rid of Brassard.

People need to stop breeding.

If we signed Stamkos the possibilities are endless. Just a matter of Gorton pulling the trigger on the trades that present themselves.

Didn't know this about Sean Day:
"Day's application for Exceptional Player Status was granted by Hockey Canada on March 21, 2013, making him eligible to be drafted in the 2013 OHL Priority Selection. Day is only the fourth player to be granted the exemption, allowing him to start his major junior hockey career as a 15-year-old. The other players to have previously received the exemption are John Tavares in 2005, Aaron Ekblad in 2011, and Connor McDavid in 2012."

If we were able to sign Stamkos, you think Brassard+ Klein would get us Draisitl?
