If you listen to Gorton, he said he wanted a guy that could make an impact and that is why the got Etem. In other words, he was basically saying Anaheim were morons with this kid and we stole him. I can't believe idiots are making such a big deal out of losing a 15 goal role player who has declined offensively 4 years in a row. Hagelin is not a big deal. Etem is a lot more talented.
As usual, the league and media gives the Rangers no credit for how elite they are at developing young players. You think any of the morons rating our draft knew who Jespar Fast was? I was talking about that kid for years. He's going to be a fantastic role player for this team. He's already better than Hagelin in many areas. Lindberg is going to follow in the footsteps of Fast.
The biggest concern I have right now is Glass. I want that guy gone. Sather has to get rid of him so thickhead AV can't use him this year. He ruins the 4th line. The bidding for Boedker and Belesky will be too high. Guy I want without question is Bernier. He's got size. He can replace worthless Glass on the 4th line and he can also fill in on the third line if needed because he has enough offensive ability.
