+2 puts Kreider at 1 where he probably should be after a Kreider special (point at each strength). Want me to adjust that for you?

[Br4d]

Kreider is probably having the best late career progression in NHL history.

 

50+ goals for the first time two years ago at age 30.  A way above average season last year at 31 and now back on the 50+ goal bandwagon again at 32.

 

It's just completely unnatural.  Guys who were 25 goal scorers in their prime in mid to late 20's don't suddenly double that number at 30.

I moved him up before, or at the same time Zucc did. I don't know how you fix that.

I amended my list to read Kreider at 1.  In instances where I posted my list at the same time that someone else posted theirs but mine came in after theirs I went back and edited my list according to the person who just beat me.

Kreider at #1 is going to last all of 2 minutes. I’m printing it up and putting it on my fridge

[Br4d]

There is a universe where Jimmy Vesey gets to #1 at some point this season.  Not ours unfortunately but his superpowers are shining anyway.

Zib and Lindgren put in solid performances against Bruins.  Quick gave up 4 goals when the Rangers outshot the Bruins and carried much of the play. Quick has been good this year so has a chance to bounce back after his next start.

Pete's got the Panarin +1 queued up. I was just busting his balls about it. The real fix was probably to change his Kreider move to a +1 but I'm not complaining about this historic moment in franchise history for Kreider.

He could have had at least a 4 point game tonight. Really close.

 

He's got a real chance to finish top 3 or 4 in the board rankings here if some of the "should be" points start accumulating. If he sniffs 55-60 points primarily at even strength, he will.

Lafreniere sliding again despite being the Rangers most dangerous player recently.  The points aren't coming in bunches but that's because his teammates are getting unlucky handling his wicked setups.

 

Panarin is the only guy on the team who is ready for what he dishes out.  Maybe Fox will step it up some now that he is back.

Again, recency bias of moving players directly after the game. 

 

It really doesn't matter what it looks like 20 games in, the whole idea is looking at it at the end of the season and seeing if it feels right.

 

Kreider is not the most important or the player on the team who's playing the best, yet there he is at number one. He should realistically be around 5 to 7.

The Rangers don't win the game last night without Laffy.  Somehow he slides anyway.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Move him up. You can't move a guy to the top of the list after one game. 

 

You're acting like people are moving him down, he's moving down because other players are playing better. Maybe he was just so high because no one else was playing better. 

 

Who should he be above?

Not bad. Just too high. He's cooled off. Just two points in his last five games.

Thanks Pete. I’m not moving Laf down, I’m moving other players up. Trouba had an amazing 3rd period alone and blocked 2 shots during heart-attack-hockey. His presence on the ice was very important. And that’s not negating Laf’s performance last night; in fact, that was probably one of his best games (and I’ve thought that more than once recently).
