Some people here are willing to sever ties with Zibanejad and take a flyer on Gormley? Gormley is a year older, and has played 5 games in the NHL. I know Phoenix has good defensive depth, but the fact that he hasn't made the team should show people that he's not some elite defensive prospect. He can be good , but at this point in time Zibanejad definitely has the higher ceiling.
We've played five games, yet some people seem to think that Zibanejad is so bad that we should just ship him out? The Ryan-Zib-Chia line hasn't been lighting up the scoreboard but they are playing well both with the puck and without. They can cycle the puck better than any of our four lines, and have been a rock defensively. Some people on the board speak out against some of our younger talented players like they are chopped liver and then wear it as a badge of honor. I really don't see what some of you guys are talking about when you say that Zibanejad has no potential. His potential is clearly there , and let me say it again : we have played five games this season.
And Gormley is nowhere near as valuable as Josi.
