I see your “he makes it” and RB’s “he doesn’t make it” and raise you a “he makes it as the #7”

Think you'd find a lot of Rangers fans that would trade Fox for Hughes? I don't. Hughes hasn't shown any inclination to play any defense. He's in his D+4 season. In his D+4 season, which was also his ROOKIE season where he was adjusting to the pro game, Fox scored just as much as Hughes has this year (though Hughes should finish a bit higher) and was excellent defensively. Two seasons later he won the Norris. Come back when Hughes sniffs that trophy... he'll have to score at twice the rate he does now if he doesn't drastically improve his defense.

Faber should be a lock. Slavin and Faber is our best pairing until proven otherwise

Faber is having a bad year but has a great reputation because he had a fluke offensive year last year and plays a lot of minutes.

Is Team USA known for making the best decisions with regards to the roster? They left off Tage Thompson, Clayton Keller, Jason Robertson, Cole Caufield this year and instead took a bunch of depth players for the bottom six.
In 2014 they left off guys like Yandle and byfuglien to take Orpik.
He may not make the team but it's not because he shouldn't be there. The organization has a history of poor decision making.
Making any decisions, good or bad, off of a 4 game tournament is a terrible process.

Remember when Zuccarello came back from basically brain damage, and they gave the Masterton to Jagr because he's old?

Just get eliminated from contention. Play Gabe for the remainder of the season and park Kreider in front of the net on both PP units to attempt to set the record on his way out.
I'd say I think about this at least once a month.

Slavin-Faber absolutely got their heads caved in that tournament. xGF% against Canada was in the teens.

Adam Fox is terrible. We need to trade him and replace him with another Will Borgen.

But Slavin blocked a shot and Faber did something that one time that was not dumb.

I think it’s better to leave it up to your imagination. But yeah I’m sick and tired of hearing shit about Adam Fox. Adam Fox plays with a bunch of garbage and still is driving play at an elite level, producing at his highest level 5v5 in his career, yet somehow he is the one being criticized? It’s truly unfathomable.

yeah but...like....he doesn't 'move enough' on the power play (i saw someone here complaining about that the other day. the PP sucking is also his fault apparently).

Yup, of course. Honestly the blame should be put on whoever is running the PP. There’s been zero consistency, there seems to be zero plan. It’s guys completely moving around with no rhyme or reason.
Agreed, and he needs to get stronger as most young guys do. I also think getting drafted by N.J. was not the best thing for him, as he seems to defer to his brother too much when they are on the ice together.
I think turning the page on the rush hockey culture which Zib, Panarin and Kreider have grown up on here needs to happen. The sense of entitlement at ES is a product of having elite PP and goaltending, resulting in less effort at ES. It’s not even Kreider and Zibs fault, as it’s all they know as successful professionals.
We need to create a new organizational philosophy and I struggle on how we can do that successfully while all 3 are still core players. Ideally, 2 of the 3 are gone this summer. Unfortunately, only 1 is assured.
