To be honest, I thought that the first round pick was a bit of a reach. I had him pegged as a second rounder. His attributes make him the perfect modern day 3rd line center. Would have loved for him to be the second round choice for NYR, but Boston reached for him in the first.

Maybe the price for Kreider at the deadline will be Beecher and a 1st?

shouldn’t Kravstov get evaluated at C too? Why should Chytil have the inside track on anybody anymore?

Well, because Chytil’s played center most of his life and he feels more comfortable there, where that isn’t true for Kravtsov. Also worth noting that Chytil has played really well the past 2 games

Ok, but Chytil was given the opportunity on a silver platter and he whiffed. Lets up it up. Kravstov played C before. If Chytil cant hold up to the kind of competition that Kravstov could provide, he shouldn't get the spot.

As of right now Kravtsov is providing nothing but doubt. Let's wait until he hopefully performs in the AHL.

Chytil is a Center and Kravtsov is a W which is why in the AHL Chytil is playing C and Kravtsov is playing W. Not really complicated.

lol the guy who played W last season and who couldn't nail down C this preseason is a C and not a W. Ok, seems clear cut to me.

Yes the prospect who was drafted as a center is expected to be a center and the prospect who was drafted as a wing is expected to be wing. Are you purposely acting dumb or are you just incompetent?

Whether or not he will be that in the NHL remains to be seen but that has obviously been his expectation and history.

Don’t put words in my mouth to make your point. I didn’t say he was expected to be a W. He was and in fact is expected to be a C. But where is he? In Hartford learning how to C.

Sorry he’s not on your schedule I guess

I think this is a great post, I have nothing against strome I think he is a solid third line winger. The only reason he is centering the second line is because we don’t have a #2 center, at least not yet. Lias should be given the opportunity there now because we need to see him play with better linemates. Here is how I would put the lines together for the next game:
Panarin-zib-buch
Kreider-Lias-kakko
Lemme-howden-strome
Smith-McKegg-fast

I think the 2nd line center comes in via a trade. Or pure luck with Byfeld.

One of those options is more likely than the other.

I am starting to think the lack of anything resembling a shutdown defensive pairing is a bigger problem than the 2C right now. Both will loom large as the season progresses.

Not really crazy watching our top offensive forward unit also being our # 1 checking line....like we watched yesterday when they went against the Oiler star duo.
