can't say it any better than this...love where he's at for where we got him and looks like he's on a great track. stalling out the biggest risk but has a lot of qualities that offer hope for a grand slam here. have to be over the moon over his assimilation to high end ncaa hockey coming from a pretty mediocre league.

Apparently they have not seen Lakatos play ever. He has only played on the wing the last few years
You guuuuyyyyss. You're making me feel a little better after today with all the nice things you're saying about Barron. I thought he held his own with how talented this BU team is. I'd say his biggest weakness right now is his defensive game, but that's something that will come with time especially in a college system. I'd also like to see him shoot more. He tended to defer to his linemates a bit too much instead of using his strength and getting to the net. Otherwise I'm very happy with how his freshman campaign went. I'm pretty hopeful he'll be an impact guy for us(Cornell) the next few years.

Just looking at the wing prospects makes me sad.

It will look much better when the Rangers get Svechnikov with the #2 O/A pick!

It's really weird how he always finds his way on the stat sheet, and always finds his way getting big time goals. I try to be an analytic person so I'm not super high on him because of his shooting ability, but he's got something maybe I can't put a finger on, or maybe he's figuring it out (shooting wise) IDK.

Game 2 for Ronning in the playoffs just started about 5-10 minutes ago. He just had a hell of a scoring chance stopped by a great effort from Victoria goalie Griffen Outhouse (poor kid

I can't speak to previous Rangers material, but from a Sharks perspective THW's quality/coverage/understanding tends to be... let's go with "questionable"

Oh man how great would that be? Mcd and stammer will be declining right when Howden hits his stride. Would sure make this trade look better. Hope the kid keeps crushing it. Fantastic move in a playoff game.

Hajek and Regina won 2-1. Series now tied at 1. He had no points and 4 PIMS.
Howden and Moose Jaw won in OT 3-2. Howden had 2 goals and 2 PIMS. Series tied at 1.
Ronning and Vancouver lost 5-4. Believe Vancouver is down 2-0. Ronning had an assist and 2 PIMS.
Day and Kingston didn't play yesterday. They look to even the series 1-1 today at 6pm.
None of the WHL players have games today.

Stepan's scouting report was better than Howden when each were drafted IIRC. But either way, I like Howden as a player, he's just not the best shooter, but if that part of his game grows, we STEAL this trade. He's projected as a bottom 6 forward because of his shot, if it improves at all, he can make his way toward that top 6.

This should be the best center depth the Rangers have had in years with, Zibanejad, and then Chytil, Anderson, and Howden competing for spots. Really like what Gordan is doing building depth down the middle and the defense.
I'm thinking the same thing. He's got 64 goals in his last two seasons (109 GP) which is pretty solid for someone who's primarily a playmaker. Then again, I haven't watched a ton of him and production in juniors more often than not is not a good indicator of production at the pro level. Although he did have 3 goals in his short stint of 5 games in the AHL

Eh, I'm not terribly impressed by that move from Howden. That's just him taking advantage of laughably bad CHL defending. That's not going to fly at the NHL level.
