JT leads the team in assists while playing on the third line. No complaints from me. He is one of my three favorite current players. Maybe my favorite.
JT does have great shots and at the end of the season I would not be shocked if he is around 20 goals again. He plays the game the way I like. He looks for the open man. That is how I was taught and how I teach others. He also plays physical on a pretty soft team. He keeps guys involved with all his talking. Guys get a kick out of making fun of him. I look at the JT glass as 85% full instead of 15% empty. In regards to LA he has to make the NHL first then prove he can play at that level. I hope he does but Im not done thinking about this seasonAnd certainly the best third line in NHL for sure. Do you remember the beautiful goal J.T scored last year, @NickyFotiu ?
J.T is one my favorite Rangers players too, but his overall talent level include his accurate shot he use too seldom. My point is the line can be even better with Lias A. next year for sure, or J.T start to find his confidence and believe in his own ability to shot the puck. But I`m happy for his temporary role as center - hopefully Lias Andersson can center that line next year, because I doubt we will keep Grabner, he is UFA, and he might cost too much unfortunately.
