Yeah, but yeah.
Who's ahead of him? Hamrlik? Gilroy? Emminger? Stralman? Nope.
Have you watched CBJ games this season? I have. Quite a few. He's an upgrade over any of those guys. When Staal comes back he's on the 5/6 pairing.

I actually think Moore is the key piece in this deal, but he has a ways to go, IMO, before he is a notable player.
Which one has the potential to raise those numbers? Brassard is the part of this deal that bothers me. I like getting Dorsett, and I think Moore is an interesting piece, but Brassard is . . . let's just say he's not a good fit on a well-constructed team.
My point is look at the turnover from just last spring, what GM rips up a team less than a year being in the ECF? Since last summer it's been mistake after mistake by this GM all in a half a season of hockey. The thing that pisses me off the most is he won't even be questioned about it because he's Sather, the guy who hasn't won in 2 decades.

I wonder if adding Moore combined with the development of McI could give the Rangers to move a D at the draft or over the summer, especially if Richards is bought out. Possibly for a young center man or LW?

I hope we either win 5-1 with the new line up or lose 4-1 with 45 SA and only 12 shots on goal and have everyone freak out
Yeah either way boards will be fun tonight.

Hold that thought and recommend to Sather for the off season. Moore is x times better than Savard.

Gaborik with goals in 6 games, was definitely a scoring threat out there.
bad season = can't score goals anymore
I want Torts gone bad. But if he is going to stay, Gaborik had to go. Gaborik had to go by the draft anyway.
I think the problem with this team is two things...
1.) TORTS
2.) Due to #1, I think this team gets bored as hell playing this system. Without guys like Prust and Avery to get the adrenaline going, this team starts falling asleep during games.
I think these trades will actually make the team better. I think Dorsett would have a huge impact if healthy. Him and Clowe won't allow everyone to fall asleep on the bench. On paper I think we have at least a slightly improved team over last years roster. The same group that were 2 wins from the cup. We also have quite a bit more cap space and got younger.
It appears everyone's issue is the return. People would be less up in arms about this trade if a #1 pick came back to us. But it appears it was either going to be a #1 Pick or Moore. I think another poster wrote that Moore was the 2nd best skater in the draft after Kreider. Someone also wrote that he has been playing RD in Columbus. I think people need to appreciate what Moore brings to this trade more than they already are. Especially since our scouting staff was so high on McDonagh when they traded for him. Maybe they are right on Moore as well.
As others have said... this Clowe and Gaborik trade is 100% "wait and see". There really is just no way to evaluate it right now.

Do the rangers even draft worth a damn with their #1 picks lately? Isn't all of our good talent later picks? I'm not too concerned about the #1.. i think we could have done better though.

So in conclusion,
We got a 3rd line center, who's skills don't translate to centering a 3rd line.
We got another solid left handed defenseman who doesn't create offense.
And we finally got Brandon Prust's replacement, but he can't play until the playoffs, that we probably won't make.
For Marian Gaborik.

What did you honestly expect to get in return for a delicate, non-physical goal scorer (who has not scored many goals) who counts 7.5M against the cap?
