The Rangers must find a way to convince Mika to wave his no move cause because he’s no longer the same player. Maybe a change in scenery could revitalize him. Sure, center depth is not good. But you can put almost anyone at center and they might fare better.

Which is why acquiring a 3rd line center for Lindgren should be the move

Dave, I found an interesting stat about Fox and Lindgren (per Naturalstattrick). When Fox is on the ice without Lindgren, his xg% is 56% or higher with every other defensemen.

Lindgren xgf is 37% with Schneider. 39% with Jones and 40.5% with Miller. Atrocious!

It is a crime Laviolette continues to roll Lindgren out for 20+ minutes a night. Drury needs to take his toy away

Drury should move move heaven and earth to get either Byram or Power from Buffalo. Jake Walman would be a consolation, if those two are not available. Sooner, rather than later!

Yep. Some of those xgf% are small sample sizes, but it clear Fox becomes much more effective away from Lindgren.

I think Lavi just looking for an excuse to keep Mika in a top 6 role. Ideally, Drury should go after Alex Tuch as our RW1 and keep Mika as our 3C.

It seems that their head coaching depth is not strong either.
