Rickard Rakell...WTF

[Dirty Dan]

That was a heck of trade Anaheim made getting Rakell (scoring at an elite first line rate) and Gibson (young elite goalie) from Toronto for Tyler Biggs who is currently plying his trade in the ECHL

And people say Burkie's worst trade was Kessel for the two firsts!

the trade was fine. the scouts just suck.

The hands are incredible. He dangles through guys on a regular basis like not many players can. Can still improve in different areas but what a promising player

 

[WhatTheDuck]

do you get an orange slice wherever you get rickard's white? Because that's a great tip for any bars that don't.

Speaking of great tips, someone should post that nice tip the other day that rakell made.

 

[Man of Principles]

prob 20 of his goals are basically tap ins from being in the right place at the right time.

That can be said about many scoring forwards. Knowing how to get in scoring position is a valuable trait that shouldn't be overlooked.
