I think he's the type of guy that can play on any line effectively. Even if he's not the most naturally gifted offensive player, his willingness to go to the net, dig pucks out of corners and forecheck the hell out of the opposition makes him a positive contributor. That and he does have decent hands and instincts.

This kid threw himself in front of a Weber slapshot. That alone is enough to sign him long-term. What a great kid
At the beginning of the year so many people were crapping on Fast
He's not a top 6 but a fantastic depth guy. Really hope they don't lose him to expansion but right now he'd be picked imo

Him and Lindberg true blueshirts. Even when a lot of fans were down on them they probably were the difference up front early in the series until KZB line and others started to wake up.
There are certain guys that will be around the league forever because they do everything that winning teams want. Guys like Fedotenko, Max Talbot, and Justin Williams. Jesper Fast is one of those guys. I would be shocked if he doesn't win a Stanley Cup before he is done playing.

I'd hate to lose either. They're nice forward depth, but depending upon who's available, Raanta may not be enough of a pull at goalie.
That said, there should be a lot of players in the Fast/Lindberg mold available, so we might be okay. All depends upon who they like.

give them a 3rd to take Holden.
Give them a 2nd to take Staal
Give them a first to take Staal & Girardi (via trade).

Look, I don't care what they do, but the least I expect in return is Golden Knights legend Reid Duke.
Honestly, with how this draft is supposed to be, I would honestly consider giving Las Vegas a 1st rounder to at least take Staal

Vegas is gonna steal Fast you just know it.
Fast or Lindberg are probably the two most likely targets. I would hate to lose either of them, but that's the nature of the expansion draft.

The expansion is set up so that every team loses a good player. I think either Fast or Lindberg is gone, unless a trade happens and they protect one, or the team bribes vegas to take Klein haha
Yeah, I believe that Gorton need to do something if we have any plans to keep Fast in that expansion draft.
It might be Fast last playoffs for the Rangers.

#26, the sickest of 'em all.
I'd hate to lose Fast, but at least we wouldn't have to go through the pain of seeing him unable to wear #19...I guess. It'd just be weird if he wasn't, unless he picks 12 if Puempel is dumped.

No, but I'd still have to believe Vegas would take Lindberg or Fast over Grabner.
