Hagelins a legit top 6 winger.

Hagelin is NOT a legit top 6 winger. On a true Cup contender, he'd be a 3rd liner who kills penalties and plays 2nd PP unit. This kid is so overrated on these boards. For once, I'd like to see him stick handle from the wing to the middle and set up a play. If you can't stick handle and you're not a power forward, well, you're not a top 6 forward.

I blame Mark Messier.

Rangers should look to move him in the offseason with someone who does whatever he does with this organization.

I really believe his job with this team is "resident bald guy."

Kid is 23 years old, in his rookie season. He's been a pretty decent addition to the team and brings much needed speed to an otherwise slow defensive squad. I swear some of you guys are so hard on guys and don't even give them a chance. Give the kid a year or two to develop and blossom before you cast him off.

Hell, there were people on here ***tting on Kreider the first night he played saying he looks like a bust. Jesus christ. I know being a Rangers fan makes you jaded and pessimistic but, damn...don't throw rationality out the window in the process.
