Just trade Goodrow and they’ll have 16m in cap space. Not resigning tarasenko or Mikkola. Call up Othmann, lenschysyn (or however it spelt), Jones/Robertson and league min backup. That’s 4m max. That means there is 12m for Chytil, Miller and Laffy.
Chytil should get 4.5x5, miller similar, laffy 3x3. All contracts expire when Trouba/Panarin are fully off the books.

Makes sense, he’s a gamble at this point. He’s just a ranger killer so I’d like to see what he could become in a ranger uniform.

Sujet: Just begging for these lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ab27</b></div><div>I like the lines and agree with keeping everyone in their neutral position. Obviously if they upgrade at RW by TDL, Kravtsov could be the one traded and that player slots in there. I like the rationale for the top line, would just worry about forechecking with them. As for PP1, I would keep Panarin in the same spot and add Chytil to the bumper, so that way when they pass to Zib, he can either shoot, play Kreider, or play Chytil all for a shot. As for PP2, I would put Trocheck at net front and Laf on left point.

All fun to speculate! :D</div></div>

There were a few reasons to keep Chytil on the right circle and Panarin in the bumper
1- PP is stale because the lack of a LH shot at the right circle. Everyone knows the Zib shot is coming. Adding that element would open up more lanes
2 - Panarin has a sick &amp; quick shot. The bumper could incentivize him to shoot more and adds an option we don't currently have at the bumper.
3 - With panarin in the bumper, the D would have to constantly move to cover both him and zibanejad. More movement on the PKers tires them out quicker and the movement opens up more lanes.


This is obviously just my opinion given my experience with hockey both playing and watching.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Come on, he’s on one of the worst teams in the league which has a -40 goal differential.

His defensive metrics are not though. They are all much worse than those players I listed. I don't like the +/- stat for the same reason you posted, it's just the easiest to point to. The fact that only two players in the last 25 years have won with a negative +/- (and who those players were) just speaks to how hard it is to win the Norris being a negative player.

Personally, I have him 3rd/4th right now basically due to his offense.

1/2) Fox &amp; Dahlin - Both play great on both sides of the puck. Make a huge difference in their team performance. Play 25+m a night and play in all situations. These are your best OVERALL defenseman (both sides here, offense AND defense)
3/4) Karlsson &amp; Lindholm -- Kinda polar opposites here, Karlsson is great offensively but a hole defensively, Lindholm is probably one of the tops on the defensive side +34 and chipping in at a reasonable rate offensively.

5-10 is a assortment of McAvoy, Hamilton, Morrissey, Makar, Dunn and Chychrun.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>And dude is on pace to do something a defenseman hasn’t done in 30 years, score 100 points</div></div>


Ok? He is still a minus player due to his lack of a defensive game. Meanwhile you have multiple players at a point per game pace (or just around it) that are +15 or more. Realistically, Dahlin and Fox should be the leaders rn. Lindholm/Dunn/McAvoy should be up there but not necessarily top 3. All play over 22m a game, +18 or more, and over .66ppg (with fox &amp; dahlin at a point per game or more).

The last defenseman to win the Norris trophy with a negative +/- was Lidstrom in 2010-11, and before that was Rob Black in 1997-98. It just doesn't happen often. Yes putting up 100 points is great, the last defenseman to do that was Leech when he won. But he was also +25. Before that it was Coffey who was +61 (insane) in 1985-86.

I am not saying Karlsson isn't a good player, he is. He just isn't the best overall defenseman in the game as the definition states. When he actually won his two norris trophies, he was +7 and +16 while just under a point per game. In 2015-16 he got 2nd, he had 82 in 82 but was -2 and still lost to Doughty who only had 51 points in 82 games but was +24.
