Geez Mel, 'dickhead AV'? I know the Glass thing is a bit silly but that's a little rough no?

71, Glass thing is not silly, its a travesty as well as Yandle use and the burying of dylan all season for boyle and girardi so yes dickhead AV is more than appropriate.
 
Gropp has picked it up. Now with 27 G, 29 A in 53 games. Tambellin had his 13th last night. Good season on a poor offensive season for a kid that still needs to fill out. Europe prospects continue to shine. It's hilarious watching the morons on HF evaluate our prospects. They can't possibly be dumber and more clueless. Stating that Saarela doesn't have the upside of Buchnevich or Duclair is asinine. Those mental midgets didn't even know who Duclair was. When I was talking him up all I heard was how the Quebec league sucked and there was a reason he went in the 3rd round. Idiots. Saarela to me is a better prospect than Duclair was at the same age. Saarela is a good faceoff man, superior defensively and is putting up great numbers playing against men.

Another RW that shoots left........hmmmmmm
 
No way IMO that Skjei and Graves are traded as this team needs to cut the overpaid, dead weight they have on defense. Meaning. Staal is gone the second his limited NTC kicks in. Yandle should absolutely be dealt for a high pick and NHL forward. I am fine with Kreider being shopped as well. If a team made a huge offer for him that included a young, talented, right handed defenseman, that would free up moving Klein. Team needs to be broken down a good amount and rebuilt. It's not good enough.
 
Gropp had 1 G 1 A last night. He's coming on. Jensen 2 G 1 A. Graves was a +3. Halverson is on fire in the no defense, OHL. Saarela with 2 more goals. Monster numbers in the elite Fin league for a young player. On par with the other two fins who are projected to go 2nd and 3rd in the draft. Nobody will care about losing Duclair when Clarke drafted Buchnevich, Saarela, Gropp and Kovacs. Duclair's offense was never in question. However, he sucks defensively and I think like Kreider, he will always be one of those players who doesn't give a crap half the games he plays.
 
Dump, not sure why you always go from talking a prospect up to the sky when he's with the Rangers organization and calling everyone a moron because of how they underrate the NYR farm, to "eh, he's not that good anyways" when he's traded.

In his age 20 season Duclair is on pace for 23-24-47 on a mediocre team getting 14mins a game. Kreider wasn't even a pro until age 21 when he played for the pack and played to a lower point-per-game than Duclair this year. If Duke keeps up his pace he would equal Kreider's best year in the NHL (last season at age 23) when he got 1:30mins more per game and played on a 1st place team.

Earlier in the season i used to watch the 'Yotes games (before hockeystreams got shut down) and Duclair played well. Not a Selke candidate by any means but given his age i liked what i saw. Considering Yandle is someone that did not fit in their long-term plans and were going to lose to UFA in a couple years i'd say Arizona got a great young player in Duclair they can build a core around with Domi and their other young players.
 
I talked up Duclair's offense. That is legit. However, hockey is just not about offense. His defense is non existent. His effort has always been inconsistent in juniors. I raved about his offense after his 50 goal season. The following season he got benched again by his coach for being lazy. So much like Kreider, the work ethic is spotty.
 
Graves with two goals today. If those dumb bastards trade him, I'm officially through with this team for a long time.
 
So far Nieves is proving me wrong. 2 G 1 A last night. He now has 5 points in 3 AHL games.
 
Tambellini with 3 A last night. A solid first year in the AHL with 31 points. Rangers signed Kovacs teammate Malte Stromwall. Had a nice season offensively and he's a righty shot. The Pack will have a lot more young talent on there next year. This year the team had too many scrubs that weren't going anywhere. Gropp back to play his first game of the playoffs after being hurt and had 1 G and 1 A in a 2-1 win.
 
Time to clean house and fill our prospect pool back up. This run is officially over.
 
Should be very interesting if Halverson can make the jump to the NHL as a backup next year. Ideally, I would think he's in the AHL but to me, Lundqvist needs 35 games off now at this point of his career. Time to start the process of the next goalie in NY. As usual, they never score for Hank but he's definitely not the same.
