Nico v. Nolan

[Rebels57]

The problem is, who do they replace?

I don't believe either of them play Simmonds or Schenns spot so it would have to be either Giroux (no chance in hell) or Voracek removed from the top unit.

I can see either replacing Jake if he doesnt improve his decision-making there. But again, we dont yet what the set-up will be..

wrong thread

If the new PP coach ****s up the first unit... thats the last thing we need changed.

No reason to rush the 2OA. Let him earn more time before putting him on the first unit.

I was talking about sophomore season, not rookie..just to clarify.

It has gotten worse as the season progressed in each of the last two seasons. It is stagnant and needs a tweak..or to use different looks sometimes.

The solution isn't to change personnel, it's to emphasize different things that they need to do better.

For example, too often Ghost would pass up a point shot to instead pass it off to Voracek so he could fire a weak shot. Little things like that can be easily adjusted if they have someone with a little common sense (and a rolled up newspaper to hit Ghost on the nose when he does it again), but that doesn't mean a new PP coach should be changing who's on the unit or where they play.

I'll be so bummed if we end up with Patrick and have to watch Nico shred us with NJ for years to come

It doesn't mAtter who New Jersey has because they always shred us.

Nico will be the better player easily

 

[Striiker]

I'm sure you've watched both enough to make a statement like that. You wouldn't just talk out of your ass.

 

[NatP4]

But I forgot, Patrick has a "60 point floor" LOL

Do u think Patrick or Nico are looking at the prospects lists for both teams and saying i hope the other guy gets picked 1st?

 

[Rebels57]

I'm sure you've watched both enough to make a statement like that. You wouldn't just talk out of your ass.

You didnt know he was capable of projecting a prospect better than paid professional scouts and guys like Craig Button, all of whom either have Patrick as the #1 prospect or JUST behind Hischier?

 

[Curufinwe]

The really good thing for them is that they both know they can start looking at houses in New Jersey.

Thats a good point actually. Hopefully they dont live the Olde City life like the youngsters from 08 (Carter, Richards, Lupul, Upshall)

Good question LOL

Hey, atleast I've actually watched them play

 

[Stizzle]

I think that's a strong possibility. How could they not? Unless they just want the title of #1 pick so bad it doesn't matter.

Yea ive seen there highlights as well.

 

[NatP4]

Or looking at center depth on both teams and hoping for the better opportunity to play up in the lineup

 

[NatP4]

Where highlights?

So "everyone" has Patrick at 1, but the example that you give that has Nico at 1 clearly has Patrick "barely" behind him.

Of course Konecny has a better writer than both.
