Sujet: Done with Zibanejad Rangers Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Can you name a team would wants a 31 year old who isn't playing his best, for six full seasons.? No one. If Zib's isn 't motivated playing for the first place Rangers, why would any one think he's going to turn it around for another team?
I've always liked Zibs. Gotta think he's injured, though I'm often think long term contracts for players into their mid 30s is really iffy.</div></div>

A team like Nashville might at a more reasonable price than 8.5 -- if they don't go far in the playoffs but don't quite want to rebuild, he could be an asset.

If he's injured I wish they would just sit him. This has been an issue all year long. I think what the Devils did to Jack Hughes by letting him play is extreme negligence and I'd be horrified to find out that Zibanejad needs surgery or something over the summer and that's why he's been playing poorly.

Hard agree on the long contracts. I don't know why the Rangers would do that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>If you're not trolling than the only other explanation for your past trades and thinking Chytil is the teams best center is you are detached from reality my friend. Panarin had 92 points last season and you call that "pedestrian"? LOL. He didn't have a good playoffs vs the Devils, but Kreider was the only Ranger forward that showed up for that series, so trading Panarin with 50% retention based on that one series is unhinged. If they had, he would be having a great season for another team with the Rangers paying half the freight. Do you not see how dumb that would have been? You posted dumb Laffy trades too, just look them up. And Igor is over rated? He won a Vezina his 2nd full year in the league and is 133-59-17 with a .920 career save % and a 2.44 GAA. To think he is over rated is about as dumb as it gets. Check yourself in somewhere because you need a whole team of professionals working on you.</div></div>

For nearly 12m, yes, 90 points is pedestrian. Especially when he scored less than 30 goals. For almost 12m I want that player to be 110+ points and over 35 goals. And NOT a playoff ghost. Being defensively responsible would be awesome too. So yes, I did have a problem that Panarin hit exactly ZERO of those marks in 2022-23.

I mean, Chytil is the team's best centre if we are talking pure skill/talent. He literally was more productive at 18-23 than Zibanejad was at that age -- look at the numbers. He's also more dynamic than Zibanejad and is a true game breaking player. It's a matter of developing him. He could EASILY be a 40+ goal player and 100 point scorer if given the opportunity and tools to succeed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>He isn’t playing lol</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>If he is back for playoffs, there is no way he plays RW on Mika's line.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM69</b></div><div>Yeah it's unlikely he's back for playoffs, but it's definitely a positive that he's back for on ice training. Even if he is deemed healthy, by the time he get's back up to speed with his on ice workouts he likely isn't ready before the SCF anyway. He's just been away from the game for too long.</div></div>

Real ones know that the last Chytil incident (the suspicious non-contact collapse) was a plot by the NYR to use the LTIR loophole. It's really convenient that he happened to have a setback when barely any other players were on the ice, and no beat reporters present saw what happened....

It's also very convenient that when he was leaving the ice, he was favoring one leg.

My guess is that he really did get hurt (I don't think Chytil would agree to stage a fake injury), but it was a leg/lower body issue, and not concussion related at all. And that the Rangers just said it was concussion related because a doctor can't say "he's recovered and isn't experiencing any symptoms" -- it's not something that can be determined physiologically. The only one who knows what concussion symptoms are present, is Chytil himself. Therefore, they managed to avoid attracting suspicion from the league. And a LBI that would take him out for weeks or months, just gives him more time to rest and recover and potentially use his cap space at the deadline.

So I wouldn't be surprised if he's back ~ the second round.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>You know what? I went and looked up some of your past trade proposals for the Rangers and it's pretty obvious you are either a troll or not dealing in reality. The funniest were the trade Artemi Panarin with 50% retention, but the trade Igor and trade Laffy ones were pretty funny too. Enjoy your trolling.</div></div>

I don't think I ever said to trade Lafreniere and IF I did, it wasn't because Lafreniere is bad or did anything wrong, just that in the past he would've been a valuable trade chip. Now I would never trade him after his good progress this year.

Panarin deserved all of those criticisms with his pedestrian play last regular season and his EMBARRASSING playoff performance last year. I stand by that and I don't take it back. Especially for nearly 12m it was a disgrace. NOW he is finally playing like a 12m worthy player. So I don't think he should be traded anymore. IF he disappears in the playoffs again this year, I will go back to those statements because it's not acceptable. So we will have to see.

I still agree that Igor should be traded. It's better to have a well-rounded skater group and a "good" goalie, than a mid-tier skater group and an "elite" goalie. Which I think he's overrated anyways and pales in comparison to Henrik Lundqvist. But he has the "name brand" of being elite and will get paid as such on his next contract. I just hope the Rangers aren't the ones to do that.

And it's not trolling to say these things. My proposals are well-thought out and just because I say things that other people are too afraid to, doesn't mean I'm trolling. It's called an unpopular opinion for a reason. The FACT is that you're obviously not a student of the game and you're not dealing in reality.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>You see what you just said? "he can be a 1C one day". OK, maybe we can agree on that, but the day is certainly not now when the Rangers have 2 centers that are heads and shoulder better then he is at present. The team is trying to win a cup which means the best players play more and have bigger roles. It would be very stupid to play Chytil 18 minuets a night as 1C or 2C and have Mika or Troch playing 13 or 14 minutes a night as a 3C. Understand? Down the road some, after Chytil proves he can play again, stay healthy and out play Mika or Troch, then he can move up to 2C or 1C. That's how hockey works.</div></div>

There's a big difference between being a future 1C, and what you said, that he's a 3C on the Rangers. He's not a 3C anymore than Trocheck deserves to be a 3C. There's a reason that Chytil was placed on the 2nd line instead of Trocheck and was doing well to start the year. Trocheck being the 3C wasn't an insult to Trocheck. It was just a display of faith in Chytil and an opportunity for him to develop with an elite LW and increased minutes. And it's not like he's done anything wrong to lose the 2C spot. He's not like Kakko who wasn't producing and got demoted because of that. If he never got hurt he would still be on the 2nd line with Panarin and Lafreniere. And I bet that he will either be back with Panarin and Lafreniere next year right away. Or at the very least, as soon as the Trocheck version of the line goes cold, he will take Trocheck's spot again. But this shouldn't even really be an argument because the Rangers are lucky to have such fantastic centre depth that one of Chytil or Trocheck is the 3C.

And like I said RE: Zibanejad, he's on the decline. Trocheck has been way better than Zibenajad this year. So if it were totally up to me, I would have 1st line Chytil, 2nd line Trocheck, 3rd line Zibanejad (or would trade Zibanejad altogether). But I know how these coaches work and they'll never have the guts to demote Zibanejad even if he plays poorly.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>Not sure what games you were watching in the beginning of the year but Chytil didn't even score a goal before he got hurt. Panarin carried the line. Once Trochek took over, the entire line flourished and has been the best line on the team all year, and Laffy has definitely benefited from being with Troch in the middle. Troch is a point per game player that plays strong defense, is great in the face off circle, plays physical and plays every game. Chytil at his best is about half a point per game player, average defensively, terrible at face-offs, plays soft as tissue paper, and is hurt all the time, and concussions are one of the worst injuries to be prone to, so you need to stop looking through rose colored glasses when you look at Chytil. He is young and has potential but he is not in Troch or Mika's league as an NHL center yet, not even close. Let him come back, show he can stay healthy while centering the 3rd line and he can help develop Cuylee. If he can do that and put up 0.75 to 1.00 point per game, then maybe he moves up to 2C, but that's way down the road.</div></div>

No. Just no. And the classic lines about "soft as tissue paper" just tells me that you are biased against European players and will never change your mind. He's an elite talent and proved last year that he can be a 1C one day. If you look at numbers, he's more productive than Zibanejad was when he was Chytil's age. You don't stick players like that on the 3rd line unless you want to massively hinder their development. Imagine if Pittsburgh treated Crosby that way because of his injury history.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>No chance. Trocheck is a big reason for Laffy's improvement this year and Panarin's best season yet, so no way that line should be broken up under any circumstance, and Mika is having a down year for him but he still a far better offensive player and all around player than Chytil has ever been. Chytil is a 3C until he actually shows on the ice two things....1. he can stay healthy, and 2. he can out play Mika or Trocheck and for that he has a long way to go.</div></div>

Trocheck is having a career year at 30 and doesn't have nearly as much to do with Lafreniere's development, as Panarin does. That's not to say Trocheck isn't useful. He is and I'm glad he stepped up. But we've seen Trocheck's ceiling. We haven't seen Chytil's. Let him be an elite 3C and help to develop Cuylle in particular, who he would be a great role model for.

Also, Panarin's line was already looking great before Chytil got concussed. Panarin-Chytil-Lafreniere was the hottest line in hockey. So it's great that Trocheck was able to slot in but he's not solely responsible for the success of that line when it already looked great with another centre. Panarin is 90% responsible for the success of that line.

Chytil in a short sample size already looked better than Zibanejad did all year. But people don't want to hear Zibanejad criticism so I won't elaborate. Also, Chytil doesn't have a general problem staying healthy. It's specifically concussions that he has an issue with. The Jesper Fast hit this year wasn't bad, but last year he was concussed on a dirty late hit by Sam Lafferty. And we have a deterrent for dirty late hits now, and his name is Matt Rempe.
