We do not win without Panarin imo. It is what it is... unless Laffy and or another kid takes off

Either figure it out with him or move him.

I agree with you both on this. f*** Panarin, but also can't live without him.

Boston was supposed to tank

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Name them.

Colorado, Florida, Toronto, Tampa.

Personally , I like what Trochek will bring to this team. I still worry what it’ll mean for the 2023 season though. Cap wise, I mean

 

[duhmetreE]

making room to offer Gaudreau $12.5M

Making room

They don't need room lol.

They're below the cap floor.

 

[Levitate]

We just decided he isn't a "2C" whatever that actually is, without giving him so much as a sniff at it, so we can spend cap space we don't have instead.

he can't stay healthy. every time he gets a chance he gets hurt. over and over again.

I'd love it if that didn't happen but right or wrong a NHL team isn't going to keep kicking the can down the road on "it might happen"

Have you seen the number of contracts on the Bruins? They aren't tanking.

 

[McRanger92]

Signing trocheck tells me they really like Chytil and don’t want to move him honestly. A big move like miller or kadri or Dubois would bury Chytil long term

Dont look now but the Rangers have a pretty speedy top 3 centers with Mika-Trocheck-Chytil

 

[bleedblue94]

sounds like you want a unicorn tbh. It'd take another Brass for Zibs type trade

an under 26 year old 2C? that's not happening without a vast overpayment or luck

im not delusional, the brass for zib trade IS a unicorn and people here have been bringing it up to replicate for years.

if we are talking about moving assets from this team that we have and cashing them in that is what you do. having your top two centers getting paid w big contracts at 29 and 30 running concurrent is exactly how you effectively set a closing date on your window for contention bc it is tied to when they both fall off but still are getting paid handsomely. there needs to be an offset

Let them and Shitsburgh keep kicking the can down the road going for one more run wasting assets

 

[TomLaidlaw]

Trocheck seems like an absolutely perfect fit for what we need. I've always liked him as a player.

They're below the cap floor.

So they'll have room to make a second big signing instead of one.

 

[duhmetreE]

They don't need room lol.

They're below the cap floor.

they have a lot of contracts left to hand out

Im thrilled

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

They're below the cap floor.

Internal budget thing, maybe

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Colorado?

Im talking purely about high end talent. Colorado has the better team, depth and balance. They are also losing Kadri. They have Makar, Mackinnon, Toews, Landeskog.

 

[bl02]

I like Trocheck's game. Pain in the ass and pretty good skater but please no more than 5.5 and 5. I guess could deal with a 6 years.

5.5M is not a big contract.

 

[bleedblue94]

Name them.

dont get pissy with me, youre too blind to see that the team that just won the cup is one easy answer?

 

[rangersfansince08]

He's an excellent defensive forward who won't cost much.

The jump from Rooney to him would be substantial.

Good production too. I'm convinced.
