1. Supposedly the team is "fragile"…so trade 6'3" Schneider,one of the few hard hitters?
   Supposedly the team is too old… so trade the 24 year old Schneider?
   But keep the underperforming expensive Laffy?
   If Dolan/Drury were on the Titanic, they'd have made one more turn – to hit the iceberg again.

2. Give Laff a shot on left wing before you trade him. They're going to trade him to a team and he's going to get put on the left. And then he'll score 50 goals. Just how the Rangers roll. Ask a guy to play his off wing and then get pissed when he doesn't perform.

3. Laf straight up for Kent Johnson? That makes no sense. Kent had 1 great season the rest is worse than Laf. And he is 170 pounds. Bundle Laf with a 3rd rounder and Robertson for Owen Power.

4. Same crap as Kakko. Holding on for something that isn't coming. Lafreniere can go.

5. Everyone forgets a few important things.
   Hes 24
   Panarins best year was with laf all year
   Laf had 28 goals that year
   Laf has been treated like a bum since day one when he belonged top line
   Last year mcdavid had more pp minutes than laf in almost 5 years now
   Its a rangers problem. Get some real staff watch laf turn in to who he really is

6. I’m going to make a Prediction once Bread is gone Laffy will step up big time. Be the player he was supposed to be.

7. How about Bread For Olivier and a couple draft picks from Columbus

8. Lafreniere will only be good if he gets traded to Montreal

9. Trade Laf, if for no other reason than because he deserves better.

10. Trade Mika

11. I actually think moving Schneider is not a bad idea, they have so many pure defensive defensemen, they have trouble with puck transition from their own end. He makes so little, that we can get a great return probably.

12. Trading lafren brings back nothing, he has no upside to teams looking for help. 60-70 pts? Dont see it. Not here anyway.
    Need to unload his contract, wouldn’t mind holding him if his aav was like 4 mil.

13. laferniere has zero confidence

14. At a 7 million dollar contract who will take on that for 20 goals a year giving away pucks, not backchecking not a great skater a GM would loose his job for giving anything up.

15. Explain how Lafreniere's LACK of speed, Mediocre stickhandling, hands, and shot, non-existent use of his body, and lack of FIRE and GRIT can be FIXED ????????????????

16. Nobody wants lil Igor (not even the Hrtfrd Fudgepack) & his massive contract which he never earned nor deserved.

17. He has no trade value

18. Hilarious that an average, overpaid third liner is supposedly one of the best players.

    His trade value is so poor due to his play.

19. Laffy is slow, he is poor defensively, he gives up on so many plays, just stops skating. We all had such high hopes. He needs a fitness coach, a speed coach, and a really good shrink.

20. Only NYR d-man slower than Soucey was Mark Staal
