[Jaromir Jagr]

nooooo definitely not comparable. One of those two can barely skate at the AHL level

Yea, I mean you have the most biased opinion on this board of Lias, just as you did Fast for eons. Fast was playing 3rd line hockey and you still considered him an AHL player. So I'll just ignore your opinion on this one.

But Chytil showed flashes of what he could be. And produced at least a little. That’s what good prospects do. Not writing off Lias, but there’s a lower chance he becomes an impact player.

He’ll be a third liner at best.

 

[will1066]

Panarin and Fox's puck protection skills are multiple steps above others

 

[Tob]

kind of upset McKegg didn't pass to Fil on that 2 on 1

 

[Rempe73]

I'm not down on Buch. I don't have super high expectations for him at this point. He's not fast or quick enough to be elite. But he has a solid game for the most part.

Top 6 forward, with a small chance of becoming an average 1st liner if he can be more consistent. But yea he’s not a blazer.

Bias lol.

go watch him play for the Pack Shouldn’t need me to tell u the difference between the upside of Chytil and Lias.

 

[Good Intentions]

Is Georgiev v Lundqvist even a question? Asking for a friend.

 

[mike14]

His production is purely a function of Mika’s skill.

Does that include the 11 pts in 13 games he out up while Mika was out?

 

[Uncle Sid]

I hate the fourth line a little less today

 

[CasusBelli]

Was he playing with Panarin? The guy is a mooch.

He’s as useless as ever these days.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Good first period.

 

[Tob]

Howden and Lemieux have been solid.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Lot's of just poor assessment in here. Probably better to ignore these types of garbage points when they're based in fantasy.

The biggest thing working against Buch is people (unfairly) expected him to be a 1st line player. He was a 3rd round pick, who is playing a key role, and provides important depth. He'll probably never be a top line winger, but you need 2nd/3rd line players like him.

 

[Ola]

People have no patience. He's a 20 year old kid. Same reason we shouldn't be jettisoning Lias right now.

Look at Ziba. Buch is basically having more success at a young age than Mika did.

Chytil is not young, he is extremely young.

 

[will1066]

Top 6 forward, with a small chance of becoming an average 1st liner if he can be more consistent. But yea he’s not a blazer.

His career existence will be a complementary player to elite players on the first or second line.

 

[Kovalev27]

Is hank really going to play another season with this lack of recovery becoming clearer and clearer? He looks like he’s in pain

 

[aufheben]

Probability of Ducks winning: 30.74731% (If They Score Next: 51.72%)
Probability of Rangers winning: 69.25269% (If They Score Next: 82.28%)
Probability of Game Going To Overtime: 22.21276%

 

[will1066]

Mika's hoodie is da bomb

 

[Crease]

But Chytil showed flashes of what he could be. And produced at least a little. That’s what good prospects do. Not writing off Lias, but there’s a lower chance he becomes an impact player.

When I think of Andersson, the first and only thing that comes to mind is "well he was drafted 7th overall." That's a problem for him.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Was he playing with Panarin? The guy is a mooch.

He’s as useless as ever these days.

So you admit you have no clue what you're talking about and then just revert to, 'oh he must have been with another good player.'

You do realize that not every player, playing with our 'studs' is going to be a stud, right? Players like Buch allow us to pay gobs of money to someone like Panarin, because they come at a decent price yet can actually perform with talent.

The same thing goes for Strome, who is certainly having an enhanced season due to Panarin, but is actually able to produce with him unlike various other players.

He looks in pain and very tired. Every time he gets up from the ice it’s seems like a struggle. He must be still injured or something.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

His career existence will be a complementary player to elite players on the first or second line.

And that is a critically important role. Considering you can't pay 11M to 6 top 6 players.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

When I think of Andersson, the first and only thing that comes to mind is "well he was drafted 7th overall." That's a problem for him.

Seems like that's more a problem for you and all of the others on here. It's obvious Andersson isn't going to be a top line C, but I'm fairly confident he is going to be a valuable middle-6 center for a long time, either with us or others. And again, that is a really important role.

 

[Cmox]

What a ugly slap style by duke.
