2nd?

3rd?

Is Chytil disappointing or were my/our expectations too high for him? 1 point in 6 games, and the point was more bad goaltending than anything. Ample opportunity with Strome out. It's hard not to be a bit disappointed right now.

The points aren’t there but he’s definitely been a factor in the 13-72-91 line being effective. He’s been around the net in the offensive zone and backchecked well on D

I feel like his line is the one that deserves to stay together. Kreider is the only top 6 veteran that is clicking right now. Everyone else on the top six has looked pretty damn bad in my eyes but chemistry takes time to happen. Panarin and Strome have plenty of times where they look awful, especially once the other teams enter playoff mode and tighten up on defense, yet they always play together. That's how chemistry happens.

Pettersson was brought up in the last thread. I was watching the Canucks-Kraken game last night on ESPN+. Ray Ferraro was doing the game with Steve Levy. Ferraro brought up Petty. In his rookie season(2018-19),Pettersson was going into the dirty areas to score. Ferraro said the player has become a perimeter player. It's hard to score goals in the NHL from the perimeter. Ferraro lives in British Columbia. He knows that team very well.

He'll fit right in.

Jovo lives in BC and knows that team very well too

Lafreniere Zibs Kreider
Panarin Strome Goodrow/Blais
Blais Chytil Kakko
Hunt Rooney Reaves

I actually don't mind seeing these practice lines. ( Assuming Kakko is cleared for tomorrow ) Kakko is the one guy that's actually worked well with Chytil.

Eh a backhander that goes over the pad and under the blocker is anything but bad goaltending. That’s probably the toughest shot to stop.

I liked his game the first few. Have like it less since.

Everyones expectations were too high, he's a perfect 3rd line center once he figures out faceoffs, if he gets there we got a good player. Its still early but I don't see him as having the vision to move up, he seems to have improved that but I dunno I'm happy with him if he can contribute on the 3rd line.

Is Strome back?

 

[duhmetreE]

Is Strome back?

yup



Turk says they still have to be 'cleared' for tomorrow. I can't see why Strome wouldn't be cleared... Maybe they just wanted to give Kakko 1 extra day?

IF Kakko can't go, I'd honestly rather see Barron than Gauthier.

This is why, with a grain of salt, I keep circling back to Pierre Luc Dubois as a Strome replacement lately.

PLD is strong in the paint, carries the puck well, is above average at the dot, plays all 3 zones when motivated, and has previous chemistry with Panarin. With the leadership in the room and Gallants method, I think PLD can be "motivated" here to be a better player and provide hsi potential in a more consistent basis for NYR.

I'm fully aware of his millennial temperament too, but at least he has a brief history to go on in hopes he can bring something to the table. If Kravtsov interests Winnipeg at all, I think he is worth exploring. Not my first choice (Larkin is) but he is a clear upgrade over Strome in more than one facet and isn't exactly gelling in The Peg so he could shake loose as available again.

Yeah but your takes are not objective and too black or white. No gray area with you. Any player you like is a future HOFer (see Buch, TDA, Kravs, Lemieux) and players that you don't are worthless and talentless scrubs.

He gets his info from his better half.

Thanks for info. Me too, would rather see Barron than Gauthier. Im also assuming Reaves will be playing tomorrow although he is not practicing.

Double shifting Blais??

he was there. Vince just can't get his mind off of Blais. It was Hunt Rooney Blais

Strome back on PP1 and Panarin still on the Right Wall.

She works for the Kraken now. Pro scout.

Calgary is a good game to get Barron and Gauthier in, while giving Reaves a rest.

Lafreniere-Zib-Kreider
Panarin-Strome-Goodrow
Blais-Chytil-Gauthier
Hunt-Rooney-Barron

Reaves, McKegg

Why Reaves rest? Calgary is one of the more physical teams in the league

 

[EdJovanovski]

Gallant loves the phrase "day to day" lol

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I've personally seen enough of Gauthier to know he's a decent AHL player and an ineffective NHL player. Its what he is, it sucks because he has all the attributes but can't put it together. I also realize that they may not want to burn a year of Barrons contract but if thats not a concern there is no reason to keep Gauthier instead of Barron.
