What's your read, folks?
dude dorofeyev is gonna be huge for them rangers tbh they gave up some decent picks but he's a legit snipper and can help 'em make some noise in the east honestly i think he's worth it though, especially if he keeps putting up 60+ points
yeah idk about huge for them rangers tho they gave up some decent picks for a guy who's basically been playing in vegas minor league these days tbh think dorofeyev is more of a role player than a legit snipper and that conditional 1st rounder in 2028 could be key if hes still producing
dude dorofeyev is a beast but that pick they gave up in 2026 was way too high for a rental imo especially since he's not even a true top six guy in vegas ngl i think the rangers are gonna regret this one
