Says the guy who can't stop saying Wheeler sucks, when I shit on Kakko.

All three suck, period

I would  trade  Fox for Brady Tkachuk  in a second

For me it’s not that Miller can’t get better on defense. It’s that the ceiling for how much better he can get has lowered substantially. That’s based on seeing him a click or three behind in real time when it comes to processing the game. It’s why a guy with his size, speed, and reach gets beat so much 1 on 1 by players smaller and slower than him, and why he is so frequently out of position in no man’s land. Hockey IQ and smarts in real time with sometimes milliseconds to make decisions or anticipate what’s going to happen next is probably the hardest thing to improve upon. It’s frequently the difference between being OK and being good or great. It’s not as easy as just hitting the tape or being coached. Fox, for example, you could tell from day one possessed incredible smarts. He was going to be great regardless of the coach, despite lacking every single one of the physical traits Miller possesses.
 

Physically deficient players can hit the training room harder and with more effort to improve physically. It’s more quantifiable and much easier to do. Ask Lafreniere. But not everyone can think the game well enough to hit lofty ceilings. That’s Miller to me, and it’s also Kakko. That’s not to say they are dumb or anything, or that they are bad players, but the original top line/top pair ceiling had/has to be adjusted significantly to account for it. If I was setting my ceiling on them today, it’s a good mid-6 ceiling for Kakko, and a good #3 ceiling for Miller. Miller is playing 2nd pairing today, but I don’t think he’s a good one yet. There’s a difference. The warts I just don’t think are correctable enough to fly too high.

I am way more disappointed with Kakko than Miller play

Miller has great assets but at times he has some brain farts ,plus he doesn't use his size enough ,can you please use those good wheels and run  someone over once in a while

Thank god for Vancouver. The rangers cannot be making short sighted deals with a broken core. This team needs a major change not an addition around the margins. 
 

IMO 2 of Fox, zib, panarin, and kreider need to be sent packing. Don’t care which 2 but the country club needs to close for repairs. The rangers need core guys who will drag others into a fight. These guys are not it

We should trade two of those guys forJed  Ortmeyer ,Ryan Hollweg 

Remember those days we where starving for some skill 

He is the back up

Vejmelka is getting out played  by his back up

Fuck it get both 

Did we just scored 5 goals in the second period 

Lindgren takes more punishment than any other player  I have seen,

I don't know how long this guy going to last

The Rangers have made themselves as fun to watch as the Mets. Offensive burnouts the two of them.

At least they haven't gone down to the jets level

When the Rangers play, every other team seems to have them.  Even the backups.  Especially the backups.

So every backup is great and the rangers goalie sucks 

Or maybe its the rangers that make them look like allstars

So does the rest of the fucking team

Can’t do anything without a lights out goalie to cover for defensive lapses.

How many of those are out there ,if he has to cover for his teammates mistakes every game ,they should donate some of their pay to him 

I think the the rest of the team blows more than Igor

But just like a QB ,its easier to blame the goalie than the team in front of him

He shortens the bench cause our third and fourth line are terrible

He has  no confidence in them

Oh no definitely not. 

 

It was a clunky way of saying everybody thought he was going to come here last year and be a point per game player because of Panarin. That definitely didn't happen.

 

But he's having himself a season this year.

they weren't on the same page last season ,but I still think he did good

3 hours ago, Pete said:

Good for him. He's definitely playing this season to the potential I thought we were getting last season. 

So you thought he was going to be this good ,I never thought he could play at the his level

I was thinking the same thing

Being held upright

If they can deal Miller,  they can backfill with DeAngelo. 

 

 

Yup,backfill  it with shit

No, I said it's not the DR scouting problem.  The Ranger's scouting problem in Europe appears to have been based in an inability to project Euro talent at the NHL level.

Ok 

I am killing the defense before goaltending

I'm bored on this cold snowy Friday. I'm not saying he should supplant anyone here but moreso advocating for moving him for the betterment for him and the org if they have no plans to use him. Very Howden esque. Zac Jones guaranteed to have his name on the cup post trade.

At this point I'll take Zac Wilson over Zac Jones

It's definitely not the Dominican baseball scouting problem.  Down there everybody is dirt poor so when somebody gets an $800 signing bonus everybody including the scout is suddenly rich.

 

This is how 29 year old "prospects" from the DR wind up clogging farm systems.

You saying they lying about their age like the DR baseball players
