1. I dont rlly see what board complains about. Strome is not a 2c, we know this. Yet, thats the point of panarin, to elevate 2 3rd liners. I think hes a placeholder for the kids when theyre ready.
2. Its very clear we lack forward depth, expect our draft to have 2 forwards picked(should we do so). We need a 1st line winger (buch is good on second line, but also a placeholder imo) and a 1st pairing defenseman.
3. STAAL, AS DECENT (BY HIS STANDARDS) AS HE HAS BEEN LATELY, i dont want him on this team.
4. This is tied into reason 3. Its clear what type of team we are building- strong, big, and fast with skill. Yea that seems like everyone, but look at our lineup, we see less and less players being 6 feet or under.
5. Ive been looking at the bruins and why theyre so good(def not offensively) and its interesting the dtructure they have. They pin the opposing team to the boards should a zone entry occur. They also protect the slot
6. Rangers are tired and fatigue looks like its setting in for a young team. Expect a regression, but good news is shesty might be back before the season is over!(hopefully)
