Or we trade/ sign for a great defensive 3C and 4C and keep all our other assets. So our 3C and 4C plays defense leaving Mika and Strome to just score.

Supposedly NYR is out on Eichel. I hope so, considering what the final 4 looked like this year.

Yeah, depth, defensive responsibility and goaltending seem much more important than top 6 potency.

We’ve seen that’s how it’s done year in and year out in the playoffs. We aren’t ready to contend yet.

You don't make the playoffs without top 6 potency. You need depth to make it deep in the playoffs.

The 2nd wild card spot could definitely be available. NYR should definitely push for a WC spot, that should be the goal heading into year 4 of rebuild (or 5 whatever)

Next year goes back to the previous playoff format. Top 3 in each division then next 2 best records so we would only need to be top 5 LOL.

Lol..... CAPS and PENS....
Not a goalie on either team... and other than 2 or 3 dmen.
They both are fall back teams, getting older without much if any help on the way.
Give edge to Pens over Caps, but both can easily miss next year's playoffs.

Atlantic has also improved, I don’t see them ahead of any of the following teams: Tampa, Boston, Montreal, Florida, Toronto, Isles, Canes, Caps or Pens. One of the teams I just listed isn’t making it next year, I see us as the 10th best in the conference next year unless someone falls apart I don’t see the playoffs as likely.

People say that every year, yet they keep making it.

Maybe. But they have all the rest so it doesn't really counter my point.

I'm am not saying we are definitely going to make the playoffs next year but there are going to be a lot of changes this offseason around the league. Will Boston bring back Hall, Krejci, Rask/Halak, will Toronto blow it up, will the Caps trade Kuznetsov, Isles will have cap issues, will Hextall and Burke blow things up in Pittsburgh, will Florida sign or trade Barkov, will the Rangers be able to sign or trade for a center, what will Philly do, etc. A lot is going to change between now and next season.

On any other year the Final 4 looks completely different

We had 3 20 goal scorers and Artemi Panarin in our Top 6. Tampa had 1, I think. We would have made the playoffs in standard format.

The Habs are the only new team in this year's top 4. I get what you're saying though. I doubt next year's will look all that different. Maybe no Habs.

You're only looking at one year though. Teams like Tampa & the Islanders are constantly contending and have that top center. Just because Montreal makes a miracle run, doesn't mean they're a team you should model after.

Only 1 season in the last 3 has Point outplayed Zibanejad. Not this season, and Zibanejad was asleep the first half! It's insane how little respect he gets. He had 76 points in 57 games last season and hardly played with Panarin. Tampa has all this talent everywhere you look and Point still can't constantly produce the numbers Zibanejad does. Barzal is not even in the conversation.

The Rangers suffer from terrible coaching and an outdated system. We're not saying model the system after their run, but to learn from it.

Zibs is a fine 2C, but I don't think he's a top line guy.

There's way more centers do than points. Look at guys like ROR & Bergeron. It's not just how about how many points, but defensive play too.

Is Zibs better than Bergeron because he puts up more points?

Well, since the team with the most points wins the game, I don't know that there is anything more important when someone can score THAT MUCH. If we were talking about a guy who is a defensive liability, or could only skate in one direction, even with his point production, MAYBE you have a case. But he kills penalties, plays against the toughest competition, is on the top power play, and has similar assists to his goals. Judging him to be a 2C and Mathews/Tavares to be a 1C is just bias.

I dont think the pens or caps make it. But i do think everyones sleeping on philly after this season. They certainly have the assets and cap space to go out and get a RD1 and with that that team is dangerous.
