Which team has the the more surefire prospect right now?

Is it that swedish defenseman for NY?

The Rangers started their rebuild 2 years ago and have had back to back fire sales. Why would you compare their future to the Kings?

 

[snowkiddin]

The Rangers have been signing some iffy contracts as of late.

Just one, really.

But it's a bad one.

 

[Hockeyholic]

This is clearly the Rangers. Kings are at least five years away from being a wild card contender.

 

[Fugazy]

Rangers are in a better spot right now.

Well that's shame on the Kings who havent won a playoff series since 2014. They should have opened their eyes sooner and started a rebuild/retool.

It’s easier to tear-down and rebuild a team that never won anything.

which one?

which one?

Trouba

 

[jetsforever]

Does 'future' extend indefinitely? I'd probably say NY as they are a slightly more desirable destination so overall will probably average a bit higher.

 

[sufferer]

I like LA's prospects a bit more but this is definitely NYR, I think even in the event that the former wins the lotto.

 

[Jtown]

Trouba

damn...already? He could easily bounce back imo

edit: I can't believe he is only 26

Even if he bounces back, he's just not a player that warrants 8.5m and DeAngelo and Fox are just better players than "good" Trouba.

The Rangers have done a lot right with this rebuild but they just had to get the shiny toy like always. Couldn't help themselves.

People will try to lump in Kreider but I don't see how a 1.9m raise for one of your best players (who you have no in-house replacement for) at probably below market is a bad deal.

Kreider provides a lot. He probably looked at the contract Tom Wilson got and used that as a benchmark.

DeAngelo has to be resigned, But think of it like this you just got yourself a first pairing , pp qb dman as a throw in . OF all the pieces in that deal he turned out to be the best one.

The Trouba contract is not so bad since you will have some very good dmen coming up in the next few years on ELC's. That will help mitigate the over-payment for Trouba.

The Rangers

 

[klingsor]

The Rangers unless Dolan gets bored with the Knicks and/or his band and gets more involved with the Rangers.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rangers pretty easily.

LA has made some good picks in recent drafts, but is a few drafts behind us in their rebuild.

 

[snipes]

Rangers obviously

 

[Ignite111]

rangers for sure. That’s more due some great players going there. Strictly prospects Kings

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Come on bruh. Rangers already have a pretty good roster, some established superstars and still some high end prospects on the way. LA only has prospects. High-end prospects, but prospects none the less. Shouldn't be close.

 

[LaMasquerade]

At least in near(ish) future Rangers for me. Kings are about to hit their bottom, while Rangers are already bouncing back. They might be in the playoffs already this season!

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Probably the Rangers but they're in a bit of an awkward spot. Panarin, Zibanejad, and Kreider are already firmly in their primes and the rest of the roster isnt there yet. Also, you can't count on Zibanejad and Panarin to repeat their years. Will be interesting to see if the team can develop a star in 3-5 years when they're in decline
