When you finally get traded to a new team expecting a fresh start, but it’s NY and the coach isn’t changing up the top-six or PP (and your name is Arthur):

I know it’s pure parody, but I actually think Lindgren would be an AMAZING 4th line forward and Miller would probably be a really solid middle six winger. Since our defense is an absolute shit show and massive changes are needed, I would honestly stand and applaud any coach who’d even consider giving either a look at a different position. I clearly wouldn’t advocate this normally - I wouldn’t suggest Zib or Laf of Kreider or really anyone else switch positions, but Miller was a forward, his decision making as a D is a hinderance, but his physical tools, size, skating, etc. make it very realistic for me that having FAR less responsibility as a winger would actually be tremendous for him (anyone remember a Brent Burns went from D to F back to D? As did Byfuglien). Lindgren just doesn’t have enough juice left in the tank to be a 20 minute a night D man, but he would make a great high energy, forechecker and backchecker playing 10 min per night. I’m honestly dead serious. What better year to try something radical than this?

The emphasis is on the first syllable, like in Caddyshack.
It sounds like he's just as quiet as he became in LA, though, which I was afraid of. It looks like he may've gone from one bad fit to another.

This is literally like game #3 so far for him this entire season in the NHL. We may not see the real Kaliyev until next season honestly

That is a good point. He will have to show something in the next 10 games or so though to stay on the 3rd line.

I remain unconvinced that he has actually played.

I suspect this guy will be back on waivers by March
If you told me he hasn’t played a game yet for the Rangers, I’d believe it. That’s how little he’s impacted anything

Remember he came in as a pseudo-Kakko replacement so this tracks.

If I'm Drury, I just keep him around and let him work through the rust that he has. He's on a new team, starting to play around the middle of the season and he's still young. I get the sense that this move was made more for next season than the remainder of this year. They were able to get their hands on a player they like and are going to give him some time

He had 1 SOG last night, it was a pretty solid low wrister, and indicative of people said about his shot. He also started a nice sequence on the power play to Kreider for his trademark turn-and-pass across the goalmouth to Smith.
He's been mostly supporting the play rather than trying to generate.

oof. he's got some catching up to do. thought he looked a little more engaged last night and you can tell the shot is wicked. hopefully he's able to make some contributions -- unfair to AK but it's hard not to prefer berard at this point.
