The Doc has to rent an Arena sell tickets for 100 a pop, pack the place to watch him work... Send him my way for a small consulting fee I will help him out
It's a little funny how Zibanejad has become a forgotten man around here & we don't see the high projections for him we once saw. Not quite sure what to make of him but I guess there are still a few who think he will pass Turris as the #1 centre on this team. I'm just not quite sure it will be this yr either as Turris enters his prime & could continue to get even better. I still think it would be to Zibanejad's benefit to play with Stone & Hoffman, hopefully he will get that chance eventually.
I don't think he is forgotten. It is still highly up for debate whether he will surpass Turris for the #1C or not. The fact that he is 22 years old makes his next for years of progression very intriguing. All the Stone Calder and Hoffman arbitration talk has shifted focus away from Zib.
A guy who we don't talk about at all? That's Mac.
The only thing about Zibby is I've yet to see him take over a shift just by himself. When we drafted him I remember his comparison was Ryan Kesler and Pierre kept talking about how he's tough to contain and he doesn't play nice on the ice however I have yet to see that side of him. He is way too passive on the ice and I just don't see the heart.
Im not saying I want him to be laying out open ice hits (like he did against Larsson in Sweden) but I would like him to show the same passion he had playing for Sweden at the World Jr's, at least during the playoffs. I cant help but think that if Alfie had been around for one more year he could have gotten that fire into Zibby and set a better example than whoever he's idolizing. Maybe its because of Zibby hitting the market a few too many times but he just doesn't seem as interested in playing to his full potential.

Someone direct this kind gentleman to Zibanejad vs Boston and WPG 2 years ago and Zibanejad vs Vancouver last year and some other stuff here and there.
I've posted countless shifts where Zibanejad has taken over. Watch this season against Ana, LA the man was absolute animal up against top competition and had some brilliant shifts.
