this is all due to the rookie bonuses

the Rangers had to be careful, what if Lafreniere went on a 10 game goal scoring streak and suddenly was a 3.75 million player?

that's the unknown they are dealing with all these rookie bonus contracts

Ahh I see. Thank you!

Would this be the first season ever where the rangers make zero trades? I honestly can’t remember that ever happening in the past

Rangers did their big move when they traded Lemieux.

I think the Kings already did, the other night he got 5:51 icetime for them

This is the year to have a lot of 3rd and 4th round picks. Because of the shutdown of a lot of junior leagues really scouts and teams have less video to see how these prospects progressed over the past year. This is really the year where a 4th round player could really be a 1st round pick if there was a season. Why i don’t think GM are scared to trade late 1st rounders right now

Haha yep, and also why I have no problem trading our 1st this summer to upgrade at center. We have enough depth in picks where it won’t hurt us as much. I mean Buffalos 3rd is like a late 2nd

Only move I could see being made it Smith if a team wanted to add depth on D.

I'll give you D depth.

I remember watching Gordie Clark call Kravtsov's name at the draft and I was FURIOUS we didn't take Walstrom. Boy was I wrong

Same. I hosted band practice that night and we had to take a half hour break, starting from when the NYR brass took the stage. I was so mad! Thought it was going to be Dobson, though.
Glad to be wrong!!

Tom lost his mind when we traded for Adam Fox

I fail to see the humour.
That would ruin this whole rebuild, to me at least. And I bet you we wouldn’t end up winning a damn thing.

I don't remember that one. Maybe I was taking a break from the board. It was a rough time back then.

I really think that Kravtsov may be the best of all of them

I'm finding great humor in the fact that it stresses you so much.
