Ranger fans are insufferable in a completely different, but still obnoxius way. Ranger fans carry with them the entitlement of being "from New York", which means you can be a total bumhole but it gets spun into being "passionate" by the media.

But, I absolutely get where you're coming from.

Frankly, I'd rather neither team with the Cup. Go Western Conference!

As a result, I'm still rooting for the meteor in this series. Don't judge me.

There is no team in sports that I would rather lose than the Rangers. The are possibly the most arrogant franchise in hockey (TML can make a case), their fans are complete bumholes, and (frank) the Rangers.

Sweet play by Chabot to set up that snipe.

It means other GMs didn't have a higher opinion of Berube than Hextall did.

It also means they thought the roster was playoff caliber.

Chabot is a nice looking player, but probably an early teens pick.

Barzal sets up Chabot this time. Those 2 work well together

Barzal > McDavid

or

Barzal = B. Schenn

If Barzal didn't get hurt I'd be willing to say he'd be among the names mentioned as a possible top 5 if not top 3 pick.

Still putting up 45 assists in 44 games and 57 points total it's easy to believe he'd have much better numbers if he played all season.

I`d be happy not trading up and taking Roy if he was available with the TB pick

I'd like Jérémy Roy I do doubt he is a back end of round 1 pick.

Maybe Jakub Zboril or Noah Juulsen if they go for defense in late round 1

There is some talk that Kylington could fall, if he is still on the board when they use Tampa's pick, I'd be very happy to hear his name called.

Wow....sounds VERY MUCH like Brayden Schenn.

Had 57 points in 44 games (1.295 Pts/GP) compared to Schenn's 88 points in 70 games (1.257 Pts/GP), except that Schenn had a much higher goal-per-game number. Barzal is 6'0, Schenn is 6'1. Add on top of that a good showing in the U-18 (except Schenn moved to the U-20 WJC his second year)...hello Brayden Schenn v2.0.

I am. Not as much as some people on here, but I am. I just would not take Barzal over several of the other players that are going to be available is all.

I'd take him, but I might be torn if Provorov is also available. But I've watched both players & think both would be nice here.

Would you take him over:
Strome
Provorov
Hanifin
Marner
Rantanen

At least one of them (and possibly Crouse, Zacha, and Werenski) will be available at 7.
