Electricity is really just organized lightning.
I wouldn't do it, even if they both played center. As it is, the Sens need to upgrade on the center position, out of everyone on the team, Zibby has the best chance of becoming that legit 2nd liner.
Moving him for a winger makes no sense.

Not only is this a bad deal value wise. But it creates a giant hole in our top 6 so Yakupov can play third line RW.
Is Zibanejad's effort and consistencies being compared to Pageau now? If so, a ton of players are going to look disappointing when being compared to that standard. Pageau is a rare engine.
Use the same idea as the post above but replace points with effort/showed up points.
This is exactly what im talking about. Quality post.

It's just the way he plays, regardless of points.
Most of the time he's just there. He's not hurting the team, but he's not helping push momentum back either. Not that Turris is doing any of that currently.

Exactly. Ottawa has enough good forwards but of all their centres Zibanejad is that tweener who looks like he has 1st line potential but is kind of stuck at 2nd line centre but he is young & hopefully next yr he will take that next step. I'm really liking your posts lately.
That's exactly what I think as well, good post.That zoned out look.
He definitely has many games where he's completely unnoticeable.
Being on the 2nd PP and not really being a PKer doesn't help that, either.

Really happy for Zibby. Poor kid has been roasted pretty badly the past few weeks.
Hopefully this is the spark that gives him that boost of confidence. He has so much potential and such a unique skillset.

Good for Zibby.
He let his emotions poured into his game today and it worked wonders. He was in it to win, wanted the puck and was a monster in the crease.

Are you kidding. He earns a right to float till the end of season and 3 month next season, cause thats a point when his fans find lame to answer all his critics "do you remember that hattrick?"
This hattrick was pure luck, not hardworking. I am happy he did that, but i come up with all my guns after hi floats through next game.

He scores his goals tonight the same way he's been playing the past couple months, maybe he showed more grit but yea.
What is so dynamic and intriguing about Zibanejad is that he raises his game against tougher and bigger teams and that could be extremely key when we go on large playoff drives.
He's on pace for 52 points while being one of the more sound defensive players on the team.
That's mucho bueno. If he plays similar next year then go ahead and go bezerk.
IMO if there is any type of improvement by a young player, you should give that player the benefit of the doubt.
This was very similar to Turris who initially scored 29 points in 48 games here but looked so weak and disinterested it was infuriating. The following year he scores same points but got better in different areas of the game and the 3rd year he broke out both scoring and consistency wise.

Zibby in the 3rd was like a different player for a while. He was doing everything I thought he should do but wasn't doing previously. He used his killer shot and drove the net hard. Well deserved hat trick. Can't expect a hat trick every night but I hope he keeps it up. With Turris going down we need him badly.

Are You Kidding ME? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
ARE YOU KIDDDINGGG MEEEE??
That was a f-ing NOVEL of Hard Work!
Fastest before that was something like 7 minutes by Hossa wasn't it?
But no, I really don't see it happening again.
