A few weeks ago, I was firmly on the "trade Ribeiro" and "sell, sell, sell" wagon. I didn't really see things getting better for this team. Fortunately (or unfortunately--I was hoping for Nathan MacKinnon), they've gone 6-4-1 since I wrote that, which is a 96-point pace over a full season (i.e. playoff-caliber). They're a single point out of 8th, and really should be able to squeak into the postseason by going four points over .500 in these final 13 games (taking them to 51 points; the Rangers are only one point above .500).

With the trade deadline coming up, since they're now so close, I've had a change of heart.
