But but but Rossi said Malkin was mad that Plotnikov was brought in and felt it was patronizing.
I'm cautiously optimistic with regard to Plotnikov. I'd love to see him turn into the new Malone for Sid or Geno's line.

When I first read about Plotnikov, he sounded like a Russian Hornqvist. That's obviously the ideal scenario - Malone would be a pretty good outcome also.
We have all spoken of a guy like Jamie McGinn before...if Plotnikov can be that guy, I'll be very satisfied.

I think Hornqvist, Malone ans Fedetenko are all good comparable for Plotnikov. Either way, I'm excited for him. I'm just kinda iffy on Horny and Plotnikov on the same line, it seems redundant.
I read that he was one of the strongest guys in camp
Also from what I read, he has absolutely no idea how to handle defensemen because Olesky was handling him in front.
Hornqvist is the best thing to happen to Plotnikov and he probably doesn't even know it.
I still think its really odd how quiet theyve been about Kunitz. They hardly talk about the guy and hes getting reps with Sid and Kessel. Still hoping hes on his way out and they just want to see what they have in terms of options on LW.
lbr, they're probably being quiet about Kunitz because his spot is a foregone conclusion. They'll give him every chance in the top 6 and it will take an act of god to permanently get him out of there, if KCK fails then they'll go to KMH and then if that fails probably back to KCK. Eventually he'll go on the 3rd line for a few games until he does something decent and is back in the top 6.

MJ has his faults but Id bet serious money on him giving a spot to Dupuis over Kunitz. He wants speed and energy. That aint Kunitz, not no mo.
To be fair, Kunitz was demoted last year, albeit briefly, even though there really wasn't a better option. This year, there's a lot more competition. Unless Kunitz performs, and everyone else doesn't, then I don't expect him to have some stranglehold on the spot.
It's also MJ's 2nd year, he knows the personalities in the room more, and Kunitz has less juice since so many faces have changed. It all adds up to less Kunitz, unless of course, he performs.

Kunitz looked old and slow yesterday when I saw him practicing.

Platinumovski is the man.
I love it. Rossi throws out garbage theories about Malkin and it turns out Malkin is the one who wanted him here. Why any of you guys still read even one of that incompetent d-bag's tweets or articles, I'll never know. Do you get anything out of it except anger or pity? It's definitely not funny to read his work. Isn't your life too short to help Rob Rossi keep his job? One he richly deserves to lose?
One day you guys who still read his crap "reporting" and occasionally quote and link to his crap, will wake up and see all his off-the-wall quotes and tweets are designed for one thing and one thing only: to get your attention and eyes on his page. He's a whinier, less obese, internet-based version of Madden. There is no substance to any of it; he is a troll at this point and he's winning. So make him lose. Ignore the m**********r.
