he did have 7 points his past 5 games but even in those games he was invisible, there just happened to have a bit more puck luck when he was on the ice. Rakell has been the biggest disappointment to me the past two seasons, he looks like he doesn’t want to be here anymore.
We aren’t going to be any good before his contract is up and I personally can’t see him rebounding, now is the time to move him. Get rid of the passengers, this team needs more accountability.
As I said before, agree with the lack of effort level, but like to see one more season. He can still be traded next TDL and will have another season so there is still value. I just hate to move a former 30 goal scorer who is still rather young when this team lacks goal scorers and have a playmaking top prospect in Z coming up in a year or two.
I don’t think its about him not wanting to be here, but the response to losing which is never fun. But I agree, need more accountability which is why several players were moved, with the exception of Grant of course, who was a rental and was the right thing to do. Wonder if the cancelled season gives Anaheim a better chance to get him back.
Anyway, really hoping we do well in the draft. A top 3 pick would be amazing, especially in this draft.
