[Avery16]

Please get Chytil off the wing. He looks horrible.

He's on wing because he didn't look good at C. Where do you want to move him?

 

[LeetchisGod]

I haven't seen much so far this preseason to make me think that this is a playoff team. Could be for the best if the ping pong balls go our way again.

 

[effen]

ah yes, the return of the "hover around the puck carrier like satellites but don't ever actually pressure them" defense, that always goes swimmingly

 

[mike14]

5 period hot take:
Based on that very limited sample size and needing to 'earn it' I wouldn't have either Kakko or Kravtsov on the opening night roster*.

*99.9% sure at least one of them will be

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Watching Staal shoot from the point is like watching Shaquille O’Neal attempt 3 point shots.

 

[effen]

He's on wing because he didn't look good at C. Where do you want to move him?

Hartford?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

The young guys outside of Lias,Hajek and Fox haven't done much to make the team,they are all playing like they have a spot locked in.

 

[CasusBelli]

Chytil is waiting for the puck to come to him. He needs to get the puck and move his legs.

It’s almost like he and Lias swapped jerseys. I see last season’s Lias in 72 and last year’s Chytil in 50.

 

[Richard Banger]

He's on wing because he didn't look good at C. Where do you want to move him?

At C with actually linemates maybe????

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Never a good idea to take much out of these games.

The outcry for a 2C is going to be louuuudd though.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Just admit that Kakko is underwhelming so far.

Me:

 

[mike14]

Have we tried D?

 

[Kovalev27]

Hank has been really good that goal no chance

And I really like what I’m seeing from Skjei

But this is a mess. This coach needs to fix this or we’ll lose 4 of our first 5 games easily.

 

[Fvital92]

He looked meh with Kreider against other team first liners, they should give a chance to start at least a game with his linemates from practice

 

[Kovalev27]

Kakko needs a center to get him the puck. I still think Chytil is the best guy to do that

 

[will1066]

It’s almost like he and Lias swapped jerseys. I see last season’s Lias in 72 and last year’s Chytil in 50.

A lot of it is body positioning. Fil doesn't have it down yet.

 

[Avery16]

At C with actually linemates maybe????

His linemates didnt set him up for that error. That was him happening on a free puck, making independent decisions and getting taken advantage of.

 

[Richard Banger]

I haven't seen much so far this preseason to make me think that this is a playoff team. Could be for the best if the ping pong balls go our way again.

Trying to make a prediction of off pre season games is one of the dumbest things ever.

 

[NYR]

This team is going finesse its way to a top 5 pick again..

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

ADA is talented man. Him and Fox could be a lethal power play duo one day.

 

[will1066]

Joe keeps being an apologist for Fil not at center. The wing might not be good for him either.

 

[Fataldogg]

Everyone had so much hype for Chytil last year. It seems to have disappeared with Kakko and Kravtsov on the team now.

Chytil doesnt look good. But isnt he just 19 or 20 years old?

In your eyes, has his ceiling changed?

 

[nevesis]

Kakko needs a center to get him the puck. I still think Chytil is the best guy to do that

Better than Zibanejad?

 

[CasusBelli]

A lot of it is body positioning. Fil doesn't have it down yet.

I see a faster Radek Bonk / Viktor Kozlov in Chytil. Hopefully he’ll get there.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I wouldnt be surprised if Chytil and Kravtsov were sent to Hartford. Chytil for a lesson and Kravtsov because we only play a few NHL games the first 3 weeks and it would be a better spot for him to adjust
