I mean, the defense hasn't been exactly great so this gives Lavi an excuse for going back to the original pairs.

Defenseman handedness is a deep state psyop. Schneider looks better on the left than Lindgren ever has.

If any team would be inflexible about moving defensemen from one side to another it would be the Rongos.

Buchnevich is doing pretty good as 2C in St. Louis , can you imagine the Rangers ever even trying that?

If Chytil and Zibanejad went down they would put Carrick at 1C

Their depth chart is their depth chart. They don't need "reasons' to put Lindgren back in. Once he's healthy, he's 100% back in there. It is what it is. They're 100% running it back.

The last time we tried something really stupid was putting MSL at center in 2015.

I'm not going to assume that Laviolette will immediately and forever go back to Lindgren - Fox. This pair is not in the long-term plans but Miller - Fox is IMO. Mancini will go to Hartford to be their number 1 D. Schneider - Jones will still be labeled 3rd pair but it's potentially our 2nd line. If Trouba - Lindgen is a pair - we need to give it a name. The Departured line?

Honestly Mancini has been good but having Schneider on his off side isn't a long term solution so when lindgren is back I hope they just put Jones and Trouba together and not try and shoe horn trouba back with Miller. That's all I ask. I think Jones ability to skate the puck and make the first pass will help that pairing and I really wouldn't mind trouba being on the ice with him for a little bit of protection either.

My employer's annual benefits enrollment period starts tomorrow, and I'm going to make this one of my wellness selections.

I disagree. Tanner Glass played games for us in 16-17

I'd say that Tanner Glass playing games for the Rangers period falls into this category.

My fav was when they ran of like 15 of 16 in 2014-15 and the one game they lost was the one game Glass played in (and he was responsible for 2 goals against either through blowing his assignment or taking a penalty.)

It's what hes done every time he's had the opportunity to put them back together.

I'd expect no differently this time. Lavi does some good things, but his obsession with keeping certain combos together (K-Z, Lindgren-Fox) is one of his weak points.

We've seen him coach here for a year and during this time we've seen a few examples of him making changes to the lineup. I will give him a benefit of a doubt. We can check back in the spring on the extend.
 
Honestly how bad / good would a Trouba / Lindgren pair be? I see 0% offense from this pairing, but it probably would be too baaaaaaad? Maybe?

I mean, Trouba really low-key is an offensive defenseman who doesn't know where his own zone is. He was that in his good years. So like, a stay-at-home defenseman should actually work with him.

The thing is, Lindgren's defense was terrible last year.

Thanks. I think this is a created issue that shouldn’t be in the league. Sure not everyone can do it but surely some can and should

It's not at all, making quick plays under pressure in your own end with your stick in the middle of the ice creates issues. It's fine as a stop gap but in playoffs teams will target the offhand guy every night on the dump in.
 
Off topic but what the hell is the Detroit Red Wings long term plan? Sign Rangers castoffs and hope the journeyman goalie du jour that they sign turns into Matt Murray?

Steve Yzerman is the Jeff Gorton of Chris Drury's as a GM.

They should have stayed bad and kept stockpiling assets and talent. You're right, I don't know what that game plan is except to be mediocre.

Let's take advantage and send Trouba there next offseason.
