Then traded him for Brandon SaadI still can't believe the Hawks got this guy for free...
Agreed, it’s laughable.2nd best forward ? who knows.... 2nd best player
LOL
huh, well... Are we talking about players (goalies, dmen) or just forwards ?Agreed, it’s laughable.
He’s clearly 1st.
I mean, tbh there wasn't much they could do. They would have lost him for free...Then traded him for Brandon Saad
pretty sure he was an RFA, and had 2 years left of equal salary with Saad. no way to justify a trade with such terrible value.I mean, tbh there wasn't much they could do. They would have lost him for free...
I’m just messing with you. Although I don’t think it’s at all difficult to make the argument that he’s #2 [period] over the last two seasons. I don’t really care enough to make that argument right now, I’m just happy that the Rangers actually have a forward who is even in the top-100 for once.huh, well...

You're a POS Rangers fan, I understand now.I’m just messing with you. Although I don’t think it’s at all difficult to make the argument that he’s #2 [period] over the last two seasons.

Guilty.You're a POS Rangers fan, I understand now.
J/K (love)
Did he say that about us or something?I miss Kovalchuk so bad.
I hope the memory hurts
Did he say that about us or something?
I feel ya.Nah, just that Kovy had King Henrik's numbers with the Devs and loved the guy. I hate(d) Rangers with a passion since the 1994 SCF. Too old for this stuff now; Wish your team the best, honestly.

Your forgetting the actual 2nd best player and clear-cut best winger in the game since 2017. Nikita Kucherov.nah he's the best winger though, he's #7 behind McDavid, Mackinnon, Hedman, Matthews, Draisaitl, Crosby
You think that’s crazy, look at the Rangers’ goal differential when Panarin isn’t on the ice.Past two seasons Panarin is 3rd in PPG with 1.40. Ahead of him Draisaitl with 1.53 and McDavid with 1.58.
Now, +/- is in no way a good indicator of overall ability of players. But I found this bit of information interesting.
During that time, the Oilers are 357 goals for and 330 against. Giving the team +27 differential. McDavid is +8 and Draisaitl +16 in that timeframe. Meaning, even combined they have lower + rating than the team overall.
At the same period, Rangers have 363 goals for and 327 goals against, giving the team +36 differential. Panarin is +47 during that timeframe. That is good for 2nd in the entire NHL.
