There are opinions based on fact. Opinions based on bullshit. Winning developing players is an opinion based on bullshit. No evidence to support it. Teams get super high picks because their teams fucking suck. Those players get a ton of ice time to develop. Like Kane, McDavid, McKinnon, etc.... The Rangers shouldn't have gotten Kakko and Lafreniere. Their team wasn't that bad. They got a ton of lottery luck. An organization who wasn't retarded would have done one of two things. One, they would have realized their good fortune and established right away these 2 kids as long as they work hard were going to get 18+ minutes of icetime and 2 vets would no longer be on the first PP unit. Two, continue to kiss the ass of the vets on the team. let them go back overseas, to juniors or go to the AHL if possible, let them grow and bring them in at around 20 to 21. However, the Rangers are fucking stupid. Thus why they have one cup in the last 82 years. I'll repeat that. One cup in the last 82 years. I think it's about time our fan base stops acting like this organization has any fucking clue what they are doing.
No need to cry a river of words dumpy, just accept the fact that you were dead wrong with your preseason prediction of failure and enjoy the season. I was dead wrong about Mika, he's been great and worth losing Buch to resign long term. You're the one constantly using subjective criteria to judge prospects while simultaneously projecting your weird onanistic fantasies to the rest of the board. What's even more amazing about this season is I expected far more from the #1 duds than they've delivered. Oh well, another prediction wrong! We've bickered for decades about various players or coaches but a successful season should be something everyone is happy about. Enough with the putting a flashlight under your chin and warning us not to be fooled by the emerging powerhouse that is the Rangers. They've stunk for years and now we should sit on our hands with the rebuild done and the wins piling up? La, la, la la!
