Roster Building Thread - Part XII(Training Camp/Preseason)

[IDvsEGO]

The PP shouldn't have even been a top 5 one in the season.

Edmonton has guys like Mcdavid, Draisaitl Bouchard
Colorado has Mack, Makar, Rantanen

This team has like Panarin as the only real offensive threat.

Fox is elite defensively but doesn't compare to others like Makar offensively.

Trochek, Zib, Kreider are all meh complimentary players.

This is why ppl are saying to put Laf in the top unit because he has much higher offensive potential than those three. Not saying he is a superstar but still has that potential. No reason to not try him there.

Panarin and Fox are elite offensive players.
Kreider is literally the best net front man in the nhl.
Are you comparing Bouchard to Fox and implying Fox is the weaker?

4th best PP% over the last 5 years (since Panarin signed) but it "shouldn't be" that good so let's blow it up.

I think you just cracked the code.

Kakko and Panarin don't work together because the Breadman is no Bueno for Kappo's celiac/gluten issue.

No they go together perfectly.

"Sir.....this is a Wendy's"

We may be able to get by with Zibs sucking and Panarin being less effective in the playoffs.... But Tuba and Lindgren have got to go.

The next big move needs to be for a top4LHD.... after dumping the dead weight.

Also doesn't help that our coaching staff does not put the best players on the ice because of 'reputation' and 'ego'. There's no overthinking it. Play your best players. Laffy was that guy last playoffs.

No GDT?

1st, that’s not what I said we should do… I said we should work on having alternatives for when the current 1st unit inevitably shits the bed.
2nd, whether or not any other teams do it is irrelevant to whether it would be good for NYR…

alternatives should be slight tweaks to the current PP1 strategy/personnel. The Vince tweet that I sent out was very much not that. Unless you think that kandre Miller distributing to Panarin is a good way to keep the 120 point train rolling

 

[eco's bones]

Rangers going with a weak lineup tonight too.

G-Quick, Domingue
D-Mancini, Mackey, Bowey, Fitzgerald, Scanlin, Hillman.
F-Edstrom, Othmann, Berard, Sykora, Groulx, Erne, Chmelar, McConnell-Barker, Roobroeck, Blidh, Sucese, Jenkins.

I just posted one

 

[Zalos]

What are the chances that Lafrenière plays with Panarin on both the 1st line and the PP this year?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Low. They arent changing the PP unit.

 

[Zalos]

Low. They arent changing the PP unit.

So I'm to get from this that Trocheck will remain attached to Panarin?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So I'm to get from this that Trocheck will remain attached to Panarin?

Yes. There has been one unit at camp with Laf/panarin but it has been the second unit, and no way Panarin will be on the second unit who gets 20 seconds of time.

 

[UnSandvich]

He'll be there at 5v5, unlikely on PP1 though

 

[Zalos]

Yes. They some units at camp with Laf/panarin but it has been the second unit, and no way Panarin will be on the second unit who gets 20 seconds of time.

Interesting. I'm wondering if Panarin can repeat a 100+ points season with that setup.
