Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XIII (Nanaki edition)

[Clark Kellogg]

Maybe he should ask for a trade.

I like what Boyle said. If he not scoring then he needs to do something.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I never got that from him. I always felt like he's one of those "chill" guys at best and at worst a guy that's depressed or lacking confidence. The most positive way I can frame him is maybe he's one of those quiet dudes that has no personality but steals your girl because she likes reserved dudes that remind her of James Bond.

This is gold. Bravo.

Yeah. That was just me being a bit of an asshole.

Same with Elias Pettersson.

Fox also has had really poor body language for the past year or so, always rolling his eyes and tilting his head back when something doesn't go his way.

Fox has body language like a hardstuck FPS gamer. Like he's bored with what he's doing but he is good at it so he won't stop. Topped out ability wise and knows he can't progress so just gets more and more tilted.

I am some non zero percentage serious with this.

The Chytil line has been the best line in the league.

Why the f*** are we breaking it up to appease the under achievers?

because it's possible the success of that line needs to be sacrificed at the altar of the team's winning

Do we know that it will lead to more success? I don't think Mika is salvageable unless he wakes up himself. I don't think him centering Cuylle and Kakko would give us two good lines, but might give us a shitty line with Mika and a Chytil line that is not as good as the current one.

no we don't know that. that's why i said it's possible. we're 2 weeks into the season - if we're looking to change things up then let's change them up.

y'all expect the team to play as well as it can every night, and each loss is a referendum on the entire future. it's ridiculous. personally it's crazy watching people dig so hard into their positions of which players suck, that they end up rooting against players to play well because it shows their ass.

people did it with laf. people did it with kakko. they do it with kreider, and even fox. y'all are doing it with mika - putting yourself in a position where if he does something to help the team win, it just makes you look like a fool.

whatever. i remember what zibanejad looked like a couple years ago. i see what he looks like now. i dunno what changed but i know what hasn't changed - 20 on his wing. so change that, and send a message to the player.
