Skill and speed is the game now. If you listened to Gorton you'd know.

You still need some tough guys. I’m not disagreeing with skill and speed being the direction of the league but you still need guys that can drop the mits and do more than 10 push-ups.

The best player available is Wilde. He's got a ton of upside, but is pretty dumb. The best goal scorer is Noel. Think of Noel more like Nash or JVR. He goes to the net to score his goals. But he's not really like Wilson or Simmonds in terms of throwing his weight around.

Read alot of the comments early on, hey nothing makes me happier then Ranger misery, but we all need to take a breath. NOBODY has any idea how this will all pan out, there have been busts at 1, and superstars way later (you guys may have heard of a goaltender who fits this). Yes I couldn't believe our 2 picks, and am happy, but only time answers the question of who had the best draft. So here is to the second round, the off season, and both teams fighting Washington and Pitt for supremacy for years to come!

Wilde is a headcase. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him slide closer to the third round rather than go early. Although, I didn’t think Toronto would get Sandin at 29 and the Wings would get Veleno at 30 so what the (frank) do I know.

Clark keeps comparing Kravtsov to Kuznetsov but the one comment that sticks with me is when he said Kuznetsov had more scoring touch at this age.
Just another pass first player.
This team needed to draft a goal scorer and again shat the bed.
Kravtsov will be a player in this league but he will not be a top end guy.
They will regret this pick...just add it to the cupboard full of NY Ranger first round failures.

Clark needs to go.
He says You know me by now at 9 I take the best player.

Yeah cause your track record shows that. Douche!

K'Andre Miller has both. I just don't want the Rangers to force into being the enforcer. Let him do what he does best, be a little bit of rover.

If the Wings walk out Dallas with Veleno, Zadina, Wild and one of Lauko/Berggren/Thomas then then win the draft.

Kuzy draft year KHL regular season and playoffs: 3 goals 10 points (39 games)

Kravtsov: 10 goals 18 points (51 games)

Quit your female doging before I trade AA 33 and 36 for Kravtsov

I know u don’t know the difference between a push up and a pull-up but you could probably find that on the internet as well. Good day for u to stay in ur moms basement all day, it’s kinda cloudy out. Might want to try a few pushups after you learn the difference on the internet.

McLeod and a 2019 2nd round pick for Kravtsov. Let’s do this.
