you can bet your ass if we beat Washington tomorrow, Drury is adding.

He's been adding since December for people who have been paying attention and not constantly rage-posting.

Borgen is making MiIler look very good - something that Trouba couldn't do in his last two full years here (and at fraction of a price). He seems to actually got to even the higher performance level after he got his extension.

Re. Parssinen: I don't know how much leash he'll get for now while the team is trying to make the playoffs but Drury said that they have been interested in bringing him onboard for a while so whatever happens now is not going to be detrimental to his long term prospects.

I would not be shocked if Parssinen was included in a Smith deal to obtain a better return. There are several playoff teams that need both PK and C depth. I suspect no one is willing to give s a 2nd for Smith yet. The two of them might bring a 2, 3 and a good young LD.

Why were they panicking in the first place like it's some young rebuilding team.

Hey! We don't suck again!

It's almost like I want to believe they are good. But deep down I know the truth...

This roster is better than last year's (with Fox). The big difference is last year's Panarin/Laf/Trochek are infinitely worse.

 

[Raspewtin]

it didn't reflect in his stats last night or the last few but - I feel like this stretch has been the most heavy/physical Zibanejad has ever played? he was a dog on the boards the last few games and very physically engaged. I don't even remember him like this in his pre-concussion days.

he really deserves a lot of credit for his huge turnaround. he went from one of the worst regulars in the year to a good driver of offense at least. I still wish we got more from him but he's made some serious strides.

Imagine that line was the best 5v5 scoring line in hockey again this year? There's still time...

Completely agree with this. Good point.

It is obviously possible but (similar to when we got Borgen in Kakko trade) what we've heard is that he's a target of the front office.

I definitely remember Zibanejad being quite physical and engaged in board battles here in seasons prior to 23-24.

Adding by subtracting

 

[tlk]

You forgot about Edstrom.

 

[duhmetreE]

They need to break up Laffy and Panarin.

put him with Othmann and Parsnip.

Cuylle JTM Zibs
Panarin Tro Berard
Othmann Parsnip Laffy
Brodz Carrick Rempe

You could alternate Othmann and Berard

A lot of people really wanted Roy as coach here. I'm not blaming Roy but it is noteworthy.

As much as we hate on Drury, he’s still eons better than 800 year old lou lams

 

[noncents]

I don’t know if it’s a long term fix but I’ll take credit as pretty much the only poster here who suggested it might help Mika before we actually traded for Miller.

The way forward: Move Zib to wing - he "replaces" kakko. trade kreider, smith, ad panarin.

find a C. you don't need a superstar. look at Dylan Strome. you need someone good enough, like trocheck.

Find an LD. Obviously jettison Lindgren.

Get a modern coach. let the kids play fast physical simple hockey. Trocheck leads the way.

Lafreniere C Perreault
Cuylle Chytil Zibanejad
Othmann Trocheck Berard
Edstrom Carrick Whoever

LD Fox
Miller Schneider
Vaak Borgen


amass picks and keep moving with a new coach.

Quick is such a vibe when it's not his game.

When he's starting, he looks like he wants to kill somebody.

Hank was the same. That is why they both will be rememberd as all time greats.

I have the same issue and I dont have anyone from HFNYR on ignore.
