"@NYRangersRadio There just aren't many right wings in the league who can play top X. What can Drury do about that Laf just doesn't have a scoring gene in his body neither does Cuylle. Panarin is the only high-end offensive player but he's being told to play a safe defensive game #NYR"

"@17HockeyStud @v1bewithrebecca You are correct and worst is the wrong adjective. Most boring would be the better description of the Rangers play compared to previous years. They are out playing the opposition but they don't have enough offensively gifted players and the style mutes the offense #NYR"

"@StevenPappasTV @NYRangersRadio They have talent they just don't have offensive talent. It's hard to find a top X offensive center and top X scoring wingers. Laf and Cuylle aren't scoring wingers they are grinding greasy goal types - which is fine but then you need scorers on the other wing #NYR"

"@jimmyw14159 @vzmercogliano Unfortunately there's nobody to put there. The Rangers have no right wings. Othmann and Berard are not top X players and are also LWs. Perreault is a LW. I've said it for years the Rangers need to trade LWs for RWs but finding top X right wing scorers is difficult #NYR"

"@NYRBlueBulletin I keep saying it Panarin is being muted by this system and he's trying to play how the coaches want the team to play a no risk defensive style. And he has no scorers to pass to so it's hard to rack up points. He is the only top end offensive forward #NYR"

"@t_mansfield1 @MarkCHealey Yes one more year on Lindor makes a huge difference. He plays a demanding position and is already XX next month. Keith was XX in the 1984 season. He was done by 1988 at XX. #Mets cant wait until Lindor is XX and has maybe X years of prime left. Not to mention Nimmo and Pete"

"@jimmyw14159 @vzmercogliano That too. And I get the idea of taking the best player at your draft spot no matter the position but after awhile you need to skew that a bit when you have XX LWs and no RWs for years. Or do what I said all summer - trade some LWs for RWs. But top X RWs are hard to find #NYR"
