Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad

2C

2C

2Cs that can’t drive play 5v5 can’t get paid what he gets paid.

Just because our expectations for him are falling doesn’t mean his cap hit falls too.

You need to get out of his contact any possible way you can.

Pp merchant who needs his spot handed to an ascending star ASAP.

Mika scored 41 EV points. He’s a 45 point player if you put him on PP2.

Thats 3C territory for a Cup winner. You cant have this type of player making $8m, despite solid defense.

Goodbye. We had some memories but I won’t really miss you. Your were the best center the Rangers have had in ages but they need their own MacKinnon high end 1C or at least an Eichel and you aren’t it.

Gotta draft those types with high picks.

Florida acquired some of theirs in trade.

Does Zibanejad mean playoff wussy in Swedish

 

[Hire Sather]

First response to this thread is sad because it was once true.

What happened?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Does Zibanejad mean playoff wussy in Swedish

Thats ridiculous.

It means that in Persian.

 

[RangersFan1994]

The only way he gets traded is in NHL 24 or 25. No one wants that soft mentality in their lockeroom. Sadl that they are stuck with DJ Mika. Go be a professional DJ and please retire.

 

[mrmovies779]

His contract is pretty much unmovable.We are stuck with him.Off-season priority#1 should be splitting up he and Kreider and go from there

 

[huerter]

do I tell my grandkids that it was the best trade in NYR history or that he cost us a dynasty?

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

I've always liked Mika but he gets softer for each year that passes by.

Real lethargic POS at this point.

Trade Trouba and Zibanejad.

I think Mika loves it here. If we're going to keep his ass. Threaten him that we'll Trade him after the next season if he doesn't put in more of an effort and play more physically.

He used to be so good. Now he's just a floating, weak asshole.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

No one will take Ziba at $8 mill with the way he is playing. He can’t even accept a pass.

Ideally:
He has a great off-season. Works on his strength and conditioning. Works on accepting passes(can’t believe I said this). Maybe tries a shorter stick for more control.
But he doesn’t seem the type to do all this…so:

Realistically:
Make him #3 center with #2 power play time and lots of PK time.
Make Chytil #2 center. He just needs to stay healthy and upside is all there

 

[Row I Goon]

Time for Mika to get “made”…..

 

[Tob]

Mika for PLD is our only hope, which might be worse, a longer contract.

Some of you clowns keep using $8M and got my hopes up thinking I remembered his AAV wrong but no, it's 8.5

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He stopped doing everything that made him successful early in the playoffs.

Went from tripling his slot chances to reverting back to not getting them at all. Some of that is opponent/line mate, but he wasn’t really going there either.

The TO in OT if game 4 was the turning point of the series. Just a stupid play

 

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

i wonder if the sabres are still interested. would ruff want him? how about mika for tage thompson?

 

[Choice]

Dude wasn’t the same after getting cross checked by Brent Burns from behind in round 2. Wouldn’t be surprised if we hear about an injury soon.

Full NMC clause!

Can we stop with stupid posts like this? Mika cant be moved unless he himself wants to. And he sure as shit wouldnt waive for Buffalo.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Trade him anywhere

 

[Brutananadilewski]

This is where Drury incessantly calls him during the off-season and tells him how pizzas are better than burgers.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Literally an unmovable contract. Can’t believe we thought it was a good deal at first. Guy is the opposite of what you need to win a cup.

6 f***ing more years

This guy went from a top 5 center scoring 40 goals and 90 points game breaking finisher to...


Yashin. His contract. His play on the ice. Get this guy a turtleneck.

Since he is not going anywhere for another 6 years lets hope that this was an off season for him and that he will be back to his 40 goal and 90 points self next season.

I mean there is nothing else we can do.
