I'd keep all 3of Hayes Miller and Kreider....is look to trade guys like zucc and Nash...buyouts..etc to improve the defense

Or at the very least go straight forward with purpose. So much speed, so much size.....so much invisibilitySo frustrating, too much up and down and not enough element of surprise.
Good play on the PP with the screen, but needs to do more with his ice time. He and Zucc have great chemistry, they need to trust those instincts more. Use the force Luke, LET GO.

No more excuses for players like Kreider, Miller and Hayes, their play and effort in the playoffs can only be summed up as "Pathetic".
Maybe they're just not as good as we think they are and don't have what it takes to shift gears in the post season.

That is actually not true. At least in Krieder's case, his post season record was pretty good up until 2017. At least so far. Miller does need to learn what it takes to score in the playoffs. And Hayes also needs to raise his level.

I would shop Hayes and get best return. Get rid of him.
Keep Kreider and see if he can become a complete player. He was a very good player in the regular season but has to get better.
Keep Zucarello if at all possible. Great idea saying trade him if the piece coming over is good but keep in mind what you would be losing.
Keep Miller, I have a feeling patience will be rewarded.

The goalposts. They move. You asked when was he not garbage, not when was he prime Sergei Fedorov.

This is a bad hockey team.
Kreider is apparently a really smart guy off the ice and the complete opposite on the ice. He might have the worst mental game in the NHL.

They say Einstein was very awkward, lacked common sense, and had trouble with situations like handing a token to the driver on a public bus...yet he could get lost in thought and dream up Relativity Theory. Kreider is probably similar...too smart for the game and thinks on a much deeper level. Hockey is too simple for him to process.

Kreider is probably just more book smart than hockey smart. He lacks hockey IQ.
If Wayne Gretzky couldn't do 1 + 1, I couldn't care less. He played hockey and was amazingly smart as a hockey player.

A good analogy @Revel - yeah, but both Kreider and Stepan usually produce in playoffs, but I`m glad I`m not the coach here. I would lose my mind and put all the players jobs at stake here, and tell them they should not be too comfortable over the summer.
It seems to me recently that Glass is one of the few players who play with passion - he plays for a job next year - and too many looks like their mindset is so far off that they think about vacation - where to travel in the summer, and not how to be successful in playoffs and finish simple plays!

Heh..so many assumptions to players mental state simply ...because....no evidence to back it up...Kreider used to be our big game player...now he's mentally soft...heh

It's completely obvious to everyone that Kreider needs to play a North-South physical game to be effective. He should be using his speed to back off defenders and taking the puck to the net with authority. For some reason he still refuses to do it with any consistency. He seems to think he's Patrick Kane and wants to stickhandle and make plays. What is your explanation for this?
