Panarin or Saad?

[tdfxman]

Would you trade Anisimov straight up for Saad? I think it's pretty close. That trade looks good from our side of the aisle.

No way jose. If Dano does ANYTHING, is an NHL player, we crush them in this trade.

Ignoring salaries, yes. With Saad making 6mil, heck no.

Anisimov is a nice player, but he's absolutely the Mike Knuble of that line.

Panarin is the best one on one player I've seen play for the Hawks for a decade or two. He comes up the wing on any D and I can almost guarantee a shot on goal. That just doesnt't happen. What he did to Shea Weber last game is exhibit A.

He is a better 1v1 player than Patrick Kane.

I love that little flip to himself when he cuts into the middle. It displays a lot of skill but that was the move I expected to go away in the NHL - however he continues to be successful with it.

That's what I thought too, but there just isn't many hitters out there nowadays.

I think he is waiting for someone to step up and try for the hit because he has a cut back that he pairs with it that gives him a lane to the net. He used it a decent amount in the KHL.

Cut back is like a toe drag but a little different. Not sure how to completely explain it.

I think it's because a hockey has become too fast for hitters.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

That and rule changes have neutered what would have been acceptable hits a decade ago.

I know what you mean about the quasi toe drag BK. It's almost like a RB juking a LB in open field.

Interesting. I just hope he doesn't get smoked trying it too often.

Unless it is the far ice defender it is hard to really catch him good with a hit and if it is the far side guy it opens up the player streaking from his side.

Somebody will certainly be wide, I just don't want Panarin to know exactly how many lights are on the arena ceiling.

100% spot on and reminds me of Savvy.

Unfortunately he's going to get lit up at some point, it's just a matter of when and how hard.

It happens to everyone but I don't think it will happen on that move.

That's a hit you just don't see much anymore as I sit here thinking about it; that far D-man coming across the middle to hit a forward trying to cut across. Those are some of my favorite hits (for my inner meatball) but you don't see them much anymore.

Makes me think of Scott Stevens.

That Lindros hit. Ugh. http://youtu.be/7U7jUbKQYdw

Yep. That is why he creates so much space.

 

[madgoat33]

That lindros hit would have been an easy suspension in the NHL right now. Elbow extended straight to the head.

Yea, but Scott Stevens would have a rap sheet longer than Raffi Torres' if he was cutting his teeth in the league today.

 

[Blue Liner]

Yeah, pretty much every highlight hit of his ever would be suspension-worthy in today's game.

I get naseuous concussion flashbacks just watching those.
