Episode Details

The Rangers just dropped serious cash to land Pavel Dorofeyev, sending three high draft picks—including two first-rounders—and locking him up for seven years at $11M/year. Vegas, cash-strapped, traded his rights to avoid losing him for free later. Dorofeyev’s a proven scorer, but the Rangers see more in him: they want him to evolve into a playmaker like David Pastrnak, who’s become a master at generating assists. Coach Bruce Cassidy, who coached Pastrnak in Boston, believes Dorofeyev has the IQ to make that leap. If Dorofeyev can expand his game beyond goals, this massive contract could pay off big—and it’ll be one of the season’s biggest storylines.
