Thought this was a very fair deal for both sides. I really liked both Howden and Hajek so best of luck to them.

Yzerman took a calculated risk here that I think will really pay off for us. Can't wait for the playoffs to start already.

Namestnikov has been awful since joining the Rangers. Can't play center defensively, not playing well offensively either, along with bad decision making.

Is this how he usually plays or just a string of bad games?

That's how he generally plays away from Stamkos/Kucherov. He should be better defensively though, he's just so damn light on his skates.

He's really streaky. He got fat off Kucherov and Stamkos for a while there but I have to imagine he'll gel eventually with someone. His only problem is that he has tunnel vision at center. If AV puts him at wing then he'll be fine. If I were to put a number on how much better Vladdy is there it would be called "I can't count that high"
