I’m having a hard time using this site too unfortunately. Maybe fortunately for some. But I find myself wanting to use it less because of the issues
The replying function is a bit broken. Its not as good as it was with HB, but its still better than what is currently on that site.
Fox looks horrendous. Want to chalk it up to preseason, fine. But he just looks like there is zero effort.
bruhhh i’m dying. i thought i posted something on here. lmao
If you were trying to quote pickle with that link to X, it wasnt working. You have to take the link out of the quote to be able to respond to him. Found that out after trying like a dozen times.
Hopefully playing with Trocheck and laf gets Othmann going. Or else it may be Perreault making the team over him
Theres also the possibility neither makes the lineup with Raddysh, possibly Sheary making the team and Berard grabbing a spot based on his solid play last year. Id love to see Othmann, Laba, Perreault play together in the AHL.
Garand looked leaky. Fox and Soucy looked terrible on the 4th goal. This team needs to tighten it up defensively.
Eh, I dont pay any mind to these things in preseason.
I’m rooting hard for Berard, I wish they both could make it. Othmann is becoming a problem, if they give up on him he’s going to find it one day somewhere else.
The problem is we dont have the space on the roster to wait on a guy to finally find it. Which is why, like Nils when I kept saying we should trade him, if a GM sees value, and we can recoup some value for him, we gotta do it.
Great first 2 periods. I’d say Perrault has the edge over Othmann and unfortunately Berard (although a still love this kid). Just not sure 3rd line will suit him best. Parssinen has been solid, think he’s a lock for 3C but Laba is super close and could step in mid year. Unfortunate Morrow is a right shot, think he’d make the team otherwise.
I think it would be a mistake by the coaching staff to overlook Berard based on his play last season. I think hes a lot like Eeli Tolvanen, small guy, plays bigger than he is and clearly in very limited time still some what productive. Based on his P/60, in an 82 game season he could have been flirting with 15 goals and well over 100 hits.
Hopefully starting on wing with Miller can help establish and jumpstart Mika’s offensive game, post Kreider. If his game is solid and he is moved to 3C I see that as a confidence move for him as a driver of play even if it is reduced ice time. It would probably mean the team is trending in a positive direction.
Or leave Mika on RW and trade for a 3C at the deadline if we’re in contention
Im trying to separate the name from the position/production. All Im thinking about is, if we have a RW who is producing at a PPG pace, making 8.5m per thats a good deal. Im trying not to think about who it is doing it.
What Zib offers is the ability to run a 3rd PK line. It also allows for rotation, where lets say you have a lead and need to hold you can move Zib to the 3rd line providing a C who can win faceoffs and play D.
the new centennial jerseys are pretty clean i like them a lot. might have to actually grab one of them.
the game 7 patch is easy on the eyes too. if we’re basically forced to have one it’s probably the best i could ask for.
Im definitely getting the jersey, Im just debating if I want to get it plain or not.
The right choice IMO
Trocheck should be “1st” A of this new identity, after that, honestly, I dont want Zib with an A. If he wants it, he needs to lead by example.
What did I miss?
Othmann and morrow lookin real good
If Morrow’s play keeps in this trajectory, could be really interesting to see Schneider paired with him. Both young stud two way defenders with solid on the puck skills, leaving Soucy/Borgen to play the shut down pair role.
Came here to talk about Laba. Saw his interview earlier, kid is built like an NHL vet already and watching this game he’s been by far the Rangers best player. He really could and should be in the mix for 3C.
I would be nice to finally develop a center.
With Kiril being asked for his trade list, do we get involved? Both first, Perreault, and a B prospect for a sign and trade?
Hell yes. If he names us as a team he’d go to you have to do it. Gonna take more than that especially to make the cap work.
Probably LafThe likelihood he leaves the Jets is minimal but I would rather target a guy like Kyle Conner, who will command around 10-11m per year. Kaprizov isnt taking less, its not in a Russian’s blood to take less money, him and his agent are gonna wait until next offseason when the cap will take another significant jump, see how much McDavid is going to get paid. I was telling my friends, for the cost of 18m per year, you can potentially sign 2 all-stars instead of just one. For example, Id rather have a Kyle Conner and Martin Necas at the cost of aprx 20-21m per for both, than 1 Kaprizov.
Noah Laba is an interesting revelation. While we’ve all be talking about all the other prospects, he seems to have slipped under the radar. Im hoping there is something there, and hes a center with very solid size.
