GDT: U18 WCH's in Örnsköldsvik and Umeå 18 April-28 April 2019

[Amazing Kreiderman]

He's signed for 2 years, but I've read stuff that suggests that he intends to stay longer than that.

2 years shouldn't be a deterrent, but 3+ will be.

Podkolzin has said he wants to stay in Russia until he's ready to make an impact. At no time has he said he wants to stay longer than 2 years.

Just no at dealing Chytil. If a team is willing to fall back in the draft or let us take Podkolzin (whom I’d love the Rangers to get) for a player - find a way to do so without expending our prospects with high ceilings, how high yet to be determined.

Most points by players in the WC prior to being draft eligible:

Patrik Laine: 12 points in 10 games
Paul Kariya: 9 points in 8 games
Auston Matthews: 9 points in 10 games
Jack Eichel: 7 points in 10 games
Olli Jokinen: 6 points in 8 games
Jaromir Jagr: 5 points in 10 games

Thanks for this, was trying to find a frame of reference to compare Kakko’s production to.

Didn’t OV have pedestrian numbers?

Credit Suisse for hanging in the game as long as they did. Let's not make a big Fuss about Canada's win

 

[Polar Bear]

OT: But next member of a different team coming to the Rangers forum and wishing for Kakko to fall to their team (NOT happening) needs to get beaten with bars of soap.

Rees has been terrific in this tournament.

 

[Thirty One]

So Kakko is eligible for this tournament. Finns decided to keep him out. Cam York is older than him and is playing for the U.S.

LOL, yeah I saw that and was wondering what was going on there.

Holmstrom is a guy that a team like the Rangers could take a chance on since they have multiple picks at their disposal. Some have said he's a top-10 talent had he not been battling so many injuries. The concussion is a concern but there's no doubting that he's a very talented kid. I haven't seen a ton of tape on him but what I have seen has left me very impressed. Particularly with his edge work and ability to draw defenders to him while hitting an open man with a slick pass. A little bit Marner-esque.
