He is a much better player than grant and Thompson.
It’s no surprise Vorobyev is doing well in Russia. His game is much better suited for the KHL than NHL.
He can play a finesse top 6 role in the KHL, where he’s a bigger fish in a much smaller pond, & where the pace & physicality aren’t near NHL levels.
He had no such spot in the NHL, where his subpar speed, poor motor, & avoidance of physical contact made him a lousy fit for both the top 6 & bottom 6.
I dont saw any of this from our new toy Centers. We used draft picks to get them. And i bet Misha wouldnt make more failures than our veteran star aquisitions. Misha was for free.
I dont say he would have been better. But he cant be worse than this two....
Stop this physicality bullshit. Especially if you speak about Thompsoft and Grantpoo. I saw maybe one impact hit of Thompsoft in the whole playoffs. Grantpoo was invisible the whole playoffs.
Just my two cents
I'll say it - he would have been better.
There's no justice in this world. I miss him too.I can't.
Will someone please close this thread and destroy it with fire, thank you.
how much did he play with stewy this year???Most of those looks are worthless because they were Hakstol Looks.
Where the player doesn't actually have a chance and nothing they do matters.

Physicality is about more than just bodychecking. It’s about winning puck & positioning battles. About not being afraid of contact. And it’s not “bullshit.” It matters. The Islanders showed that.I dont saw any of this from our new toy Centers. We used draft picks to get them. And i bet Misha wouldnt make more failures than our veteran star aquisitions.

Dont saw the 2 winning any battles. The only thing i will give Thompson is his ability to win faceoffs. How can you be good in anything with the worst metrics in the Bubble?
And yeah the islanders played the body effectively. But not Thompson or Grant. So what is your Intention in mentioning this?
My point is that Vorobyev isn’t even capable of handling the grunt-work faceoff, dzone start, PK, board-battle role that Thompson occupied in the playoffs. I’ve made it clear that I think Thompson & Grant were disappointing & poor. What many don’t want to acknowledge, & make excuses for, is that Vorobyev was just as bad in an easier environment & with less responsibility. Blah blah, blame it on Stewart, yeah, whatever.
