I will not stop.
You wish to disagree, that is your right.
No censorship.
There is a rationale that Kappo-Kravtsov-Panarin might be one best line, in that scenario, Krav with his vision should get full first shot at pivot.
We've been thru the other line also.
Kreider - Zib are a good pair, and since Zib is righty shot, he can easily handle RW without going to his off side.
You could consider another way based on scoring exclusively and imagine Chytil, but if you go by other factors, Nieves is the most complementary and best ideal fit.
No more bs b'c guys have to be showcased.
Cut the wheat from the chaff now, and sell the surplus high, and give max mins to our core.
Nieves should be the 2C betw Kreider - Zib in that construct.
Where is that rationale you speak of.............because you continuously harp about something? You act as if your random non factual thoughts hold any weight or value to anyone other than you.
Kravtsov is not a center, he is not coming in off the street to center the Rangers #1 line despite playing well in 6 games as a C at the IIHC.....a spot he was thrust into due to injury to another player. It is not happening. Wondering if he could be a viable choice at C is a way more logical and prudent thought process than automatically penciling him in as you have done here. There is no actual logic or fact to support your "reasoning".
None of what you are saying can be supported by facts such as "this guy is the best at his position(supported by his body of work) so he naturally should slot up". You want Nieves whom lacks any kind of offensive ability to be put in a primarily offensive role because........synergy, despite there actually being 3 or 4 other players who are more offensively talented C's.
I am wondering how so many people can tell you that your ideas are not based on any sort of reality or credibility yet you can't see it and adamantly defend them with words like synergy and vision and expect anyone to agree with you. It is ponderous.
What does "his vision" regarding Krav actually mean? You make these general statements as if you see something in these players that is a known fact. Krav with "his vision". Nieves is a "great" passer and has synergy with Kreider, yet you completely ignore the fact he has hands of stone and zero offensive upside. Oh but he can pass the puck really swell, so make him the #2 C........there is zero logic in your thought process here.
Kravtsov is a talented player, of whom I am more than confident you have not seen play sans for a few youtube video's, if that. You already made it clear you were basing your statements about Krav off what what someone on the Rangers forum said, so doubling down on it without even seeing the guy play is beyond ignorant. If we are going on whims, maybe I should argue that Panarin and Kakko should be our #1 and #2 C's just because they seem to have the most offensive hype. Krav is not usurping Zib who is actually a C and is coming off his best ever season. Nor is Nieves. Chances are pretty damn high that Zib will be the #1 for the rest of his contract at least and by next season Nieves will be signed to another team.
You made the statement that showcasing is over...........I agree.......... let the kids play....in that sense........Chytil should be given a crack at 2C and Howden and Andersson in no particular order should be the #3 and #4, they should get time over Nieves, who if he makes the team out of camp, might be the 13th forward. So which way do you want it? Give the kids a shot or not? Nieves is signed to a 1yr deal and is likely not in the Rangers future plans past this season. He is depth or an injury call up.....not a regular if the other kids are playing.
