I think what they should do with Laf, once they trade Panarin, is move him to LW permanently. It’s his natural side. Trading him for essentially peanuts is not the way to go. They need to try something to unlock him. He has flashes but it’s so inconsistent. Stating the obvious but this could be affecting his development. Hot word in these parts
And side note, losses are better than wins. Going 0-30 is perfect
This wasnt my trade btw. I happen to see it somewhere. But I think you’re right. They would need something else, maybe Hronek instead, and Schneider to vancouver
They need defensmen in SJ. They are hot after Schneider I read
Three way trade:
To Van- rangers 1st rder (top 5-6 protected) this year and Laf
To SJ EP40 and Schneider
To NYR Will Smith and Dickenson
Sup Rick.
Panarin and caps seems like a very logical/likely trade
They have this kid Parascak who looks like a sniper, RW-17OA in ‘24. I don’t think Leonard is possible but man that would be nice
I’ll give ya 3 things that’s changed the course of things
1. Firing JD. Gorton maybe too. But he could’ve hired Drury and kept JD and fired Gorton. Or idk maybe JD said it’s neither of us, or both of us
2. Laf and Kakko being meh players. JAGs – just another guy. That really set everything back and it’s reared it’s head the last two years
3. Firing Gallant. That’s probably my biggest gripe against Drury. Gallant had them playing very well up until they folded vs NJ. But that decision seemed unfair (to Gallant) and panicky but imagine players had something to say about it
I think I’m more tired of the players on this team than the front office. Maybe that’s where my disconnect is different then you guys. Get rid of all of them (older guys). My point regardless of buying selling retooling etc..you have to have older players to mentor players. Ie have Perrault play with Miller and Mika. You can’t have 20 players under 22 yrs old. Drury, for better or worse, wanted Miller and Gavrikov to be that new wave of older core players.
Moving forward- imo, Miller, Mika, Fox, Gavrikov and Shesty are the big tickets. Like they’re are all staying. Other guys need to be better (Cuylle, Laf, Schneider, etc) and add in some more youth in a variety of ways, draft right and sign smart contracts (like Trocheck was) and see what happens.
If they got Robertson I think we’d all feel much better about things. That’s the shot in the arm the fan base needs. I get the hate I do I just direct my hate elsewhere, it’s on the players not so much Drury. He gave them all 3 friggin coaches, a lot of money and they’ve been nothing but divas
