Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad

[TGWL]

Remember the time Zibanejad hustled with a forecheck and knocked a player over to steal the puck and score the game winner? Good times. Guess we'll have to wait for March for that intensity.

I don’t think Zibanejad has skated that hard since.

Mika was good today. Highest xGF% among all forwards.

He's yet to show up at an optional skate. Panarin and Laf have yet to miss one. Now that those two are tasked with getting him going it would be nice to see him show up and participate with his new line mates.

Mika is signed through 2030 at $8.5M/yr with a full no-movement clause the entire way through

His NMC turns into a 21-team no-trade clause, seven days before the 2030 deadline.

I agree. It is a bad look unless he is dealing with a minor injury we dont know about.
