Oh and J. Bracco :lol: Wasnt he going to bring toilet a cup?
Yup

Some knew it in the beginning that he wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans. Some (Doyle) didn’t.

Yeah, Forsling went on waivers twice but he's hot as a firecracker right now!

Hard to believe he's 25 already... time flies when you're having fun?

Everything's coming up roses in Florida lately, except Q of course who stunk things up on his way out.

Who will the replacement be for Quennville? I’ve heard maybe Tororella but not sure if that’s much more than a rumour. FLA seems to find these guys either late in the draft or on waivers or small trades and they turn into top six forwards or top 4 d men like Forsling, Weegar, Verhage. It’s a hell of a good team they have right now but it’s important they don’t fuck up this coaching hire.

Because he’s American and didn’t want play in the frozen prairies of Canada
That and the fact there was a loop hole for him because he played College hockey (don't remember exactly what the loophole was). Anyway, like I said, I'm pretty happy with the return. Fuck Fox.

Jebus, Allan Walsh has always been the type to stick the sword in someone's back - but you have to work with the NHL as an Agent. How does this help?

After watching Lafrenierre tonight I can’t tell who is worst - him or Byfield?

He is from the NY area and always planned to sign with the Rangers. Apparently he was good enough to share this plam with the Flames and Canes so that they could get something in return for him. Unlike Canadian juniors, US college players can run out the clock on the team that drafts them by waiting four years from draft day and become UFAs. Fox was at Harvard and several players that have played there have used this rule to their advantage and have become UFAs, often signing with the Rangers it seems. Last year's Canuck Jimmy Vesey (aka Jimmy Feces) was such a player at one time though today he has become mere waiver fodder.

Our own Jack Rathbone also went to Harvard which caused some nervousness around these parts but all was well in the end.

He doesn’t stand out. He’s not an elite level talent, maybe Bo Horvat level at best

HF Rags fans:
Lafreniere was pegged by everyone as being an Eichel/AM34 talent. He’s looked like one of the worst 1st overalls of all time since he’s stepped in the league. Daigle, Yakupov, and Stefan have all outplayed him. He needs to wake up and at this point I doubt he actually does with us
Would trade Lafreniere or Kakko for JT Miller at this point
You can only win so many games in the NHL playing as poorly as the Rangers have. They are lucky to have 6 wins with the way they have played as a team. Something has to change with this line up. They are what 10 games in and nothing is changing in terms of a team learning a new system or cohesiveness
Apparently from what I am reading they are all over Gallant for his line combos and Panarin refuses to play with Kakko or Lafrenyay.

Maybe Gallant wasn't such a good idea lol

I was actually impressed with some of Kakko’s game last night. You can see there is something there, can he put it together remains to be seen. But the kid I was most impressed with last night was K’Andre Miller, very solid player. Lafrenierre is a hardcore disappointment, I expected more from him, now you just hope he can be a Bo Horvat type. He’s definitely not 1st overall worthy, far from it. I’m picking Drysdale, Stutzle and Raymond ahead of him. Keep an eye on Dawson Mercer, he’s been impressive with the Devils. Mercer was always a wildcard.
