Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXI

[cwede]

Gauthier on COVID protocol, Hunt banged up

so there may be Barron sighting, if game at Anaheim happens tomorrow

 

[huerter]

Because I was bored i did the math;
Panarin 13/36 points on the PP. so a little over 30% of his points
Kreider 17/32 on the PP. so a little under 50% of his points
Mika 13/31 on the PP. so about 40%
Strome 8/26 on the PP, so almost 33%
and i also did fox
fox 16/35 points so almost 50%

If those guys are getting between 30-50% of points on the PP, then keeping the kids off of it, is absolutely a huge cause for them to not have points.

You realize you could just compare even strength points right? There is a column for that.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Gauthier has COVID

Not surprising. He played like he wasn't feeling well last night. Looked like he had nothing in the tank.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I thought we were past our Tinordi nightmare

 

[17futurecap]

Jesus, Tinordi drawing back in, they really need Nemeth back.

 

[rangers1314]

Vince says it’s Tin-Nils tomorrow.

GG says he prefers to not play Nils and Jones together

I prefer not to play Tinordi, Nemeth or Hájek at all .

He could just swap Miller and Jones and go with this:

55-23
6-8
79-27

I agree, however messing with that top4 seems to be a nonstarter with GG/Murphy.

He could, and probably should, but wouldn't play Jones above Miller at this point, or Lindgren even.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I'm just saying, if Gallant is so worried about size, there's a simple solution for that. Playing a pylon who is 3 inches taller but too slow to catch his opponent, isn't the answer.

 

[duhmetreE]

Gallant makes some weird lineup decisions

 

[duhmetreE]

Panarin Strome Kakko
Laffy Zibanejad Kreider
Barron Goodrow Chytil

stop overthinking it. It's the obvious decision.

I still do not understand why he took Kakko away from Strome and Panarin, after he stuck with them for so long and finally was getting results.

Laffy could move to the RW for Strome line but we have to get Kakko going as well. He's done nothing with the Zibs line. The move was an utter failure

 

[rangers1314]

Zegras is going to end up putting Tinordi on highlight reels for decades

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Schneider will solve so much of this when he's ready.

 

[Kords]

The fact that McDavid was held out of practice the morning before playing us, then played the game anyway and tested positive the morning after is a tad curious all things considered...

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I get that Tinordi is a veteran, but he's also absolutely awful and a liability

 

[Mugless]

 

[rangers1314]

Not loving those moves one bit.

Thinking things will get worse before they get better on the COVID front with this group.

 

[surlysailor]

If he refuses to player Jones-Lund I'd rather call up Robertson and play him over Tindori & Hajek. Even if he's not ready he'll be better than them. Hell give Tarmo another shot over them.

 

[cwede]

reminder, before any folks overreact re where is Barron,
Barron is already on active roster, swapped spots w Timmy Getts after TG's one game

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Team in absolute shambles

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If he refuses to player Jones-Lund I'd rather call up Robertson and play him over Tindori & Hajek. Even if he's not ready he'll be better than them. Hell give Tarmo another shot over them.

Here's our depth chart among LHD:

1. Lindgren
2. Miller
3. Jones
4. Robertson
5. Reunanen
6. Bitetto
7. Hájek
8. Nemeth
9. Tinordi

 

[Claxton]

I think hes just trying to be nice to Tinordi and give him a game since he hasn't played in awhile.

Unfortunately we all get to suffer because of that.

 

[RangersFan1994]

And Hajek will still play. Jones deserves to play

 

[Fitzy]

Team in absolute shambles

Sure but we were due for one of these
