<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>Oh I one hundred percent agree with that statement. I seriously wouldn't mind seeing another tare down. So tired of hearing Zibanejad excuses, and Kreider and Panarin coming with empty words. Problem with Panarin no one takes that contract.</div></div>

Again...getting way ahead of ourselves- but 40-50 games in if that's what this team shows it needs...then let's get on with it.

As far as Zib- I really don't have complaints with his effort or what he brings...but I've heard enough about his DJ pursuits in the off season. I'd like to hear about what he has done to improve his game. Not that there is anything glaringly deficient. But if McDavid could dedicate a summer to- get this- improve his skating (which he did 2-3 years ago), I think Zib can find something in his game to try to improve.

And Panarin- between the NMC and the contract...he's going nowhere unless he relents on his NMC AND NYR eat significant salary. To break him on the NMC matter I'm guessing would rquire banishment to the press box. This isn't happening unless midway through the season the team decides to mail it in and break it down again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>Can be the core just not wanting to buy in, which can have been the issue from the beginning. It does seem to be their call If something is turned around or not. With Panarin dictating whom they TDL trade for and Fox, Zibanejad, Kreider and Panarin dictating whom they play with. Or hopefully they don't care about preseason results and somehow using these setbacks for strong season showing. But it is noticeable how bad they played.</div></div>

It's way to early to make the assumption that the players are fighting what Lav is trying to implement...but if any of that comes to light, then that player (or players) need to be treated the way ADA was-while the team attempts to remove the malcontent(s)...the way these guys suddenly disappeared after being up 2-0 in series the past 2 years- none of them should have any say in the path NYR are taking to move forward. And if any of these guys don't "like" the path- they better respond to it by giving 100%, as they put in their trade request and waive their movement clauses!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>Two 40 point players &gt; 1 60 point player who can’t even play a full 82 games

It’ll take two first (an over payment) to get them both</div></div>

Kudos to you for having the patience to respond to a troll with an ignorant comment…

In the end, Schmaltz for sure could be a very useful addition to NYR…
But I’ll take my chances with BOTH Kakko and LaF passing his production- if deployed properly the flood gates might just open for LaF- whose production to date has been 99% at 5x5. And as far as Kakko…don’t think he’ll ever be a mega point producer… but what he is capable of along the boards and defensively is a big need every team has. As long as his pay is in line with his value to the team, he’s a keeper.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>I think Laffy and Kakko could be interchangeable on lines 1 and 2

Yea othmann looked good but Lavi said he still needs to stop doing the “junior league” stuff so I have a feeling he’ll be sent down to work on it

Overall the team looked good. They forechecked like crazy and held down the neutral zone. They were doubled up on shots by the end of the 2nd period</div></div>

Nothing wrong with Othmann paying his dues. If that's what it takes to make him a better pro player that sticks for good once he gets here- I'm fine with that. I just don't want him to beat feet in TC, show he's ready for NHL, and then be sent down to make room for a washed up has been (other than 13F). Of course NYR would NEVER do that!! lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>I liked Pitlick’s game. Big and good speed

Bonino and Wheeler didn’t stick out to me

Gus and Holloway were impressive</div></div>



<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>Definitely need to put trocheck with wheeler to give him some speed. I hope Bonino and wheeler are just trying to get their legs back

I liked what I saw from Rempe, he just needs to be careful about being overly aggressive and taking penalties which could hurt the team</div></div>

Didn't see the game- but from the comments and the highlights sounds like Othmann wasn't overwhelmed, Pitlick could be a very useful 4th liner, and Gustafson impressed.

I would definitely keep Kakko w/ Kreider and Zib. He should compliment those guys well and have a breakout year. Same goes for LaF w/ Panarin and Chytil. If LaF can't find offense with those guys then it becomes clear what they should do with him. I think though he will find lots of offense and wouldn't be surprised if he put up north of 60 pts. And would provide a little grind and D to that line.

As far as 3rd line...all along I've said Othmann should at least start at HFD. But if he does show that he fits with NHL players, a 3rd line with Troch and Wheeler- 2 seasoned professionals might do more for his development than playing at HFD. And maybe on occasion for a game off Vesey can fill in for him with Pitlick then jumping into 4th line duties.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>That’s one I would do. I’m not sold on Miller. I’ve got a feeling we are going to overpay him on his next deal and regret it. I’m not sure why though, but I feel like it might happen.</div></div>

yeah...I'd do that too- would probably add to Miller to get it done. Miller (similar to Zegras) has a lot to prove. Sure he does get the points- but his D is at times atrocious, and he is far too reliant on using his reach to poke check. But Miller is a superior athlete who became a Dman late in his development- so (especially in a position where big guys take longer to hit their peak in NHL) his ceiling is still sky high all the while being a top 4 Dman at the moment. In the end, though I have a feeling NYR will have to choose between Lindgren and Miller. Lindgren has his own concerns- but down the line he'll be significantly cheaper than Miller.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Line up is not even close. Thocheck is 2C and Wheeler will play RW. No way Kakko plays 3rd line and Lindgren is Fox's D pair, not Miller.</div></div>

Yeah...Kakko needs to be 1RW

But Troch does make a lot of sense as 2RW: adds some D to that line w/ Chytil and Panarin. Can take some draws for Chytil (until he shows vast imorovement at the dot). And his salary fits a whole lot better in top 6 than 3rd line. And keep in mind- Panarin started to show some chemistry with Trocheck last year.

Of course 2 questions remain: who goes to 3LW, and who plays 3C. If the 3C solution would be an in house solution (Goodrow or Wheeler) then I'd probably put Kreider there. If they could pull off a trade for a young, upcoming mid 6 C (I know- good luck here), then I'd put LaF there. Either way- rolling the lines shouldn't affect ice time nor the PP units.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>The most negative fanbase in all of sports. Sucks New Yorkers be like this

I’d rather be positive and curious about Panarin under a new and better HC</div></div>

Don't understand why so many aren't looking forward to how guys like Panarin and Trouba respond in a new system, with (supposedly) more accountability and both an offensive and defensive plan. This was Gallant's undoing- as indicated by many players in their exit interviews.

Add to that the effect Muse may have on several young players.

I guess is more fashionable to be so negative....Seriously- I just don't get it. Sports is supposed to be a diversion from the real world...for those that insist on being so negative all the time- why waste your time? Just stick with politics! lol.

Sujet: Unfortunately keeping Panarin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>I don't even want a high pick (meaning top 10) because this org will just f*** it up anyways. Give me mid to late first rounders all day everyday though, those turn out amazing for us. I'm honestly fine with most of the team aside from Panarin. I personally love Goodrow, Trochek, and Trouba it's that money is the issue there. Luckily in Trouba's case, Schneider will be in prime form to slot in his spot once the current deal is up and Goodrow can be easily bought out if nothing else. But Trochek should have never been signed (Drury f***ed over Chytil by doing that) and Panarin definitely should have never been signed.</div></div>

I’m not a fan of Panarin either…but being resigned to the reality that they probably can’t move him, I’d rather focus thoughts on what the new coaching staff can bring to this team in terms of game plan and adjustments. Seemed as though numerous players threw Gallant under the bus in terms of his abilities here. During the season- can get away with it. In series vs same opponent- no way.

So how does Panarin respond? Who knows- but hopefully if the team finds success he’ll buy in, which can hopefully result in more success…we’ll see.

In response to Hockeyboy- I don’t think this team is constructed to win the Cup either. But if Muse can get through to LaF, Chytil, Kakko, Schneider, Othmann, Cuylle, Jones, etc….that really changes everything- and sky is the limit- esp with Shest in net.
