I think he was mentioned once. As was Erat, but only because he got injured.Did Ribeiro play tonight?

I totally agree. He b rings nothing to the team.Away from the puck he could be the worst player in the league, completely and utterly invisible! The only time he appears to contribute is on the PP, that GMDM is a bad investment for $22MM, and to think we have to watch him for four years? I don`t think so!

Yandle is a serious liability. The last 3 or 4 loses had him contributing... to the other team.
And as big of a Yandle defender as I am, he needs to get his head out of his ***.
All things considered, Ribs has performed at expectations. It's not exactly his fault he has to line up with David ******* Moss and has a revolving door of wingers who are more or less hot mess potatoes when it comes to shooting the puck.
Didn't catch this one but the statline doesn't lie: +1 for OEL, -3 for Yandle and Morris.
Good. Good. Let the hate flow through you.
I hope some come around to the idea of trading him. He is a chaotic player in a system that strives for averages and predictability. His value will never be higher...
Pi, before the season began you were saying he was a 1+point player per game. Proof is in, he is nothing close to that! I get the fact that he has had below average linemates, who have done little to help his cause. What bothers me is the rest of his game is practically non-existent! He plays small and light and I am guessing that he is a pain in the ass to play with because his head resides in the offensive zone and he prefers space as opposed to being a mucker! The opposition knows his tendencies of, "pass first" and learned to play him that way! It surprises me that they brought him into this system, where defense rules, he, Yandle and a few others are the ones responsible for this mess. On the bright side, OEL is spectacular, what a gamer and clutch player, love the guy!
mesa, I'm not going to reignite this debate over Ribeiro with you. I'm beyond it.
Do you think the $22MM was worth it? Seriously, the guy has major holes in his game, a $22MM passing guy is not going to get the Yotes too far, time for them to reevaluate this deal!

I agree!If Ribs can get into the middle 50's at the end of this year, I think he'll only be overpaid by 1M. And I think it'll be an accomplishment with whom he's had to work with on 5v5.
Maloney will certainly try to upgrade Ribs's winger situation this off-season - he won't touch him after Year 1, esp. with that NMC. But if Ribs underperforms again next season, that's when he'll reevaluate.
