Likewise. Guy didn't forget how to play hockey. Just never got a chance to get comfortable and find chemistry. Will probably still need a few games, so may be frustrating to watch here for a bit still.Agreed.

Have you seen him play before this season. He is nothing special.

You are completely missing the point. We have players outplaying him with a salary less than half. We could use some cap space. If we had the cap space our beloved Djoos might be here.How many 3rd liners making $2.5M are "special"?
I'm expecting some kind of contribution. So far we have gotten nothing at either end of the ice. He even had some time on the top pp unit. How did that work?who is expecting anything special from him? or maybe you just have an extremely loose definition of special.

Panik will score today.
I think Vrana is the pick today also.
Panik playing against his old team. Should motivate him.
Coyotes have been very good this year but are wilting a bit on this long road trip.
Outsmart the desert dogs. Let's go Caps!!!

I understand we need to give him more games. The point I'm making is that I don't think Panik is as advertised and I don't him filling a specific role.Agreed, if we had more cap space, we might be leading the NHL standings or something.
But hey, no one here is advocating giving him more than 8 games to see what he's capable of here, right?
Saving Keumper for the Blues tomorrow, I don't know if I should be insulted or happy.

I felt similar about Shattenkirk when we traded for him.
If Caps lose today, I'm blaming Panik.
He was bad before now he's back from a concussion. Since when do players come back better? Remember Kuzy last year after that flying elbow?
I know what his role is supposed to be. Do you think he is going to replace Connolly 20 goals? I don't see it. I hope he proves me wrong.The role he should fill is 3rd line scoring, where Connolly used to provide 20 goals. Teams need depth scoring, we can't have 6 Chandler Stephensons on the bottom six.
Oh.
Didn't they bump heads?

Panik is a very good player. I’ve watched him a bit before he came here. Especially in AZ.
Contrary to what some posters are saying, I think he can do everything pretty well. He’s pretty rugged, he is good at puck control, he’s good good hands and can see the ice well (meaning, he’s got a good shot and can pass). He’s a very strong forechecker.
I know he started slow, but so what? Once he’s going, I see him and Hathaway as the regular wingers for Eller (assuming one can play the off wing)
Hagelin should end up w Leipsic and Dowd at even strength. And then of course be top PK winger in TOI
