If Lindgren plays, hopefully Schneider can play with Gusty.
 
I'd like to see them stick with Gustafson on the first PP unit and have Fox be the point on PP2. His puck possession and passing skills will be a huge help for the 2nd unit. Gustafson has been fine on the first PP unit since Fox went down.
 
Yeah, you need to keep Fox on pp1 to really maximize that unit. You can see a dropoff, though not massive, when he's not there. Gustafsson is decent on the pp but isn't enough to keep it at a high level.
 
Lavy said Fox is back on PP1 per the norm. Also, they were about 2% worse on the PP over the 10 games without Fox. So not a huge difference, but Fox needs to be on PP1.
 
I really am starting to consider not extending and investing more money into Igor. Do we really need to invest into another goalie like with hank. Not saying he is not worth it but I think those money can be used somewhere else.
 
Good win tonight outside of a few minutes, played well against a solid team. Had a lot of chances they didn't finish, and still got it done. Good bounce back from the Buffalo game.
 
Team needs to draft better with forwards. Hopefully Cuylle, Othmann and Perreault are a start.
 
I guess Miller heard me say something about him yesterday and it fired him up.:D
 
The Breadman keeps rolling and there were several unconverted golden opportunities but a good win. I don't have a problem extending Igor, his numbers are already epic when compared to the game's greats at this point in careers. The guy I would trade is Fox before his NTC kicks in. The previous 10 game showed they can win without him against the premier teams, It would obviously be unpopular but I don't see Adam holding up to the physicality of the game.
 
Lay off the drugs. Fox controls the entire PP. It won't be the same without him.
 
With their record, they will start to get the best from each team now on most nights.
 
You whine about the Rangers giving out NTC but when the opportunity comes to avoid being trapped with another you falter. I will not argue against Fox's greatness offensively - the stats don't lie but neither does his lack of size. Looking at the roster and keeping in mind that the quad concussed Chytil and Raggedy Kakko have little trade value, Fox is a blue chip who can get the Rangers almost anyone Would you trade him for McGregor? I would. The PP was 2% lower with Fox out.

I would say this about Fox, if at some point in the future the Rangers did ever decide to deal him, they would need to get a stud back as you mentioned. When you deal a player at that talent level, you need to get back a whole lot. He is one of the top 3 or 4 dmen in the whole NHL and is young and signed long-term.

The one I would be nervous about locking up long-term is Lindgren. Yes, the Rangers need dmen that play his type of game, but I fear his career will be shortened due to his physical style, and he will sign a contract that won't age well.
 
Who cares what Fox size is? If he's one of the top 5 dmen in the league and basically avoids getting hit, what's the big issue? You wouldn't trade him anyhow for at least another 5 years since he's in his 20's anyway. Like Chuck said, Lindgren is the one i would shy away from anything longer than a few years.
