The only MAJOR difference is that Prucha shows his Euroness inside by having better moves with the puck and is probably a bigger threat on breakaways. Dawes is probably simpler with stick handling and the way he controls the puck is not as skillful.

2) Probably it won’t but if the Rangers continued to lose games due to defense, I could have seen them do it, and i would have done it myself. Yeah Jagr could get moody, but nexy season is his last in the NHL (unless the Rangers get him to change his mind) and that would be all. Rangers could still get Jan Marek to sign and he’d be another Jagr-buddy teammate.

3) They do have it, but they can’t find much room for it. I’d still keep Malik as from what I heard on MSG, he had 8 root canals and that really drains you. I’d leave Staal in his last season in juniors. I like what i saw from Pock and Baranka. Kaspar could be sent packing though. Not sure if it would be a good idea either. He is a character player and when he is on his game, he makes an impact on the team.
