Mika Zibanejad

I don't have a problem with him making $8.5M, being a new dad, and sucking at hockey. I'm a new dad and would kill for that.

I have a problem because this is the salary cap era, and he stinks. Your 1C costing $8.5m through 2030 and having +/- of -13 on the year guarantees you cannot win the Cup. If he could be bought out such that he was given the lump sum of his contract and NYR didn't incur a cap hit, I would love that.

Just take Xanax , it’s easy to get prescribed.


Problem solved.

He's slow as is, no need to slow his nervous system down too

I'd say age and Trocheck emerging into a #1C.

Trocheck has never been close to being a 1C and is a disaster on his own, Mika with all his issues is still out producing Trocheck.

Yikes man, you're usually a way better poster than this. I get that Zibanejad is probably gonna end up being an albatross but you can't just tell someone to "suck it up". If it were that easy, people would legit do it, stuff like this leads into other grotesque shit if you don't get it fixed.

As for the NYR part, they made their bed on that deal and the NHLPA is not gonna allow some team to just void a contract because of that. He had concussion issues previous to Drury being an imbecile and inking that contract, why wasn't an issue raised then? Drury also could've flipped him after getting Eichel from Vegas which was also talked about. The Rangers have no one else to blame but themselves and they aren't/shouldn't get out of jail free card in this regard.

no he isn't

or you must have missed the jack vs kaapo debates?
