Goodrow is supposed to be in the 3rd line behind Kakko and Kravtsov on the right side.....Drury f'd this up no matter what you think of Kravtsov, Drury has it now that he couldn't recall him if he wanted to until Kravtsov's season is over. DONKEY
Gordon Ramsey approves

Why are people so infatuated with William Karlsson? Vegas would unload him in a heart beat and for good reason, he had a big year and had now come to earth and continues to slide year to year.
Because you're basing your opinion off of stats. He's as good as we could hope for as a 2C. We do not need another Mika. We need a solid ES performer... if you haven't noticed we have not been good at 5v5.

If you need context, he's one of the better 5v5 centers over the past 5 years. He's at a good-great value. He's a great playoff performer. He's a solid and reliable 2way Center. He's had great success with Gallant.

He's not an upgrade over strome at this point in his career, he was for one year. Id prefer not to take on other teams underachieving overpaid players and look for someone that fits our timeline and cap issue better.

He's a massive upgrade over Strome.

He's not underachieving and he's not overpaid. You're wrong in every aspect

Im not...watch their games. He had his moment of glory and has been trending downward since. Fans here would turn on him quicker than a returning Howden. There's gotta be a better option if we are looking for one.
 
I liked that quote about Turk wanting to the players to achieve the instinctual level (what in Japanese martial arts is called Mushin - No Mind). Kakko especially but also Laf need to get out of their heads and into their instinctive style. We know Kakko can play with an uncanny speed on that level. Micromanaging which side of the stick they are allowed to carry the puck is exactly the opposite, it's guaranteed to plant you firmly in the conceptual thinking mind, the opposite to instinctual level.

What is this???? an episode of Ted Lasso?

Ok. Get them a f***ing shrink! Hasn’t helped me play better golf (or live my life) but to each their own
:biglaugh:

It's knowledge about how the brain and nervous system works. Do you have a problem with neuroscience?

If you watched their games you would understand why. Excellent penalty killer and defensive player, hardest worker on the ice and probably their most popular player. He's also aces in the playoffs.

Don't just fall in love with the stat line.
 
Why is Karlsson's name being brought up? Is someone reporting Vegas is looking to move him?
Vegas will probably have to shed cap this season, but no way they trade Karlsson. They have less painful ways to make room for their guys once everyone gets healthy.

Did I miss something? Im listening to today's Habs Lunch and Tony brings up that the Habs were sniffing around on Kravtsov and that the Rangers were taking a peak at Chiarot. I mean I know we brought in the wrong Jets dman, and I would have loved Chiarot a couple years ago, but I'm not that interested on an expiring deal.

Yeah heard it as well. Chiarot has had a pretty good year considering but we should not be buying at all.
On the other hand, Tony is always pleading for the Habs to start rebuilding/tanking so I am sure we are gonna hear lots of these rumors.

Because they just got Eichel and are over the cap.
They might move him if they got a tremendous overpay. Otherwise, not likely according to Vegas fans
He’s the perfect compliment 2C for Eichel.
They rather run Eichel-Karlsson-Roy/Patrick-Howden next year and trade Stephenson.

Its not the stat line I'm watching, he's not worth bringing in at 6 mill till 2027 given everything else we have going on.

Draft. More. Centers.

It's really not that hard.

I don't buy this "Rangers can't develop because they haven't" excuse.

It's fixable with a combination of analytics, personnel changes, and root cause analysis from an Operational Risk POV.
 
I think NYR needs a new C that ideally clicks w Laf or Kakko

I’m willing to sacrifice Chytil in the right deal but maybe try him on RW first ? Flip w Goodrow for a bit
