We have to look at our roster right now and think about who's going to be lining up at C, as of now. They may still be adding a centre, I was just saying it's interesting there isn't buzz around any. They probably should’ve added one in the draft. 😬 Quote

I think that with Eichel and Staal both #1&2, they already feel they have improved by getting a legitimate #2 C, now its replacing a #3 C for larson which isn't likely to be a big splash kind of deal or something they are going to focus on right away. Especially if they feel that maybe someone like Casey could take that role this year. Quote

Unbelievably, league-tough matchups that he did remarkably well in, we relied on him in a very defensively skewed, defensive zone start based role and he excelled. He was our second C by ice time. He's so so valuable. If you get a chance, take a gander and Risto's advanced metrics when WITH Larsson, and when WITHOUT. Casey could easily not be an NHL player. Him replacing Larsson is akin to Ennis replacing McDavid. Quote

Thorner Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Ya tobias rieder is what, not up to being the kahun replacement. 13th forward? Quote

Him replacing Larsson is akin to Ennis replacing McDavid. And yet they are letting him walk? I'm not saying I like their plan, but 3rd line C isn't something you need to put all your focus into at the start of FA unless thats the only need your team has... Quote

LGR4GM Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 hahaha the Rangers signed Jack Johnson. 1yr for 1mil which is 1 year longer and for 1mil more than I would want him for. Quote
