Jovial Cow posted:Speaking of Hanks value: this article gets some things right but one thing it doesn't really touch on is the reason that the players who did really well for the rangers in the span they're talking about (jagr and gaborik, specifically) didn't stick around - because they were already pretty old when we got them and were declining at that point. also that the core players who stuck together for the durations of their team's best periods were typically players that that team - guess what - Drafted!

Levitate posted:drat that draft was pretty bad in the 1st round outside of a couple players Yeah, while the Rangers unfortunately picked 11th, it didn't really matter in that draft. Other than Price & Rask (two goalies the Rangers wouldn't have much use for except as trade bait), there's maybe only 4 players I'd take over Staal in the first. 3 of those players were drafted before Staal. ThinkTank posted:In his D+1 season Gilbert Brule was one of the most dominant WHL players in history putting up 39 goals and 68pts in 45 games (regular season and playoffs) en route to a memorial cup. He's become the textbook example of a guy rushed into the league, but he was a genuinely fantastic prospect who's career went off the rails due to a combination of injuries, a father who embezzled his money and depression. I wouldn't chalk that one up to misjudgment of his talent as a teenager. iirc, HFBoards used to group Brule with Malkin, Ovechkin, and Crosby, a year before the 2005 draft.

Lundqvist has been a dominant player for a decade who dragged some downright mediocre Rangers teams to the playoffs almost every year for a decade. The only team he couldn't drag to the playoffs had four other goalies who started ten games and won three, and featured Donald Brashear, Jody Shelley, Brandon Prust. Their trade deadline acquisitions were a 35-year-old Anders Eriksson, who hadn't scored a goal since 2007, and AHL grinder Kris Newbury. That team missed the playoffs by one point.

17 Russian players have played in the NHL this season. Namestnikov is one of the two oldest, at 25 (Kuznetsov is the other). When they acquired Rykov, the "Russian factor" was mentioned, as well as NYR having a guy who played for the same organization (Buchnevich) and a top prospect there (Shestyorkin). Are the Rangers going to target Russians and try to acquire top Russian talents in the draft, who are falling due to the Russian factor? NYC is one of the few cities that can generally lure someone internationally, and having a few Russian players there to mentor them would be another major factor.

I think they’re gonna give Kovalchuk a two year deal for this exact reason.

Namestnikov came to America at 8 months old, not sure how much of a Russian factor he has, really. But he does look like Ivan Drago’s son, so that makes up for it.

I'm not even gonna bother with a GDT after 10pm, but the Rangers are looking good against the Canucks tonight (the Bronx cheer of good hockey.) Fast lined up a defenseman with a perfect check to set up the Hayes goal. Namestnikov has a point on his first shift as a Ranger, and Spooner already has his third. No matter how hard you try to tank, you're still gonna beat the Canucks 7-1

They don't need to trade Gudbranson for a bag of pucks, they just put him in the top pair and they'll find enough pucks in their net.
