Genuinely feel we’re at a point in producing less prominent young talent than USA. If Bedard and Wright become blue chips, then obviously we’re clear but McDavid, MacKinnon, Bedard, Wright versus Matthews, Hughes, Thompson, Eichel is a crazy matchup.

Maybe Lafreniere too can break out by the time that there actually is a tournament. Should also have Fantilli and Power on the backend.

I agree we have some promising players coming up but if we played a best of 7 against the states and started it next week I’d put my money on US in 7.

I think the Canadian forwards can carry 😂. I think the biggest difference is the goaltending, seems like the Americans have a lot of young goalies.

For me Lafreniere was not a star and never will be. I watched him a lot in junior and he never had the physical attributes that stood out. It was all about deception for him, can only take you so far.

I haven't really watched him at all but from what I heard about him from around the draft, it sounded to me like he does have star potential but he won't be a superstar. Although I don't think New York is the place for a prospect to develop. He doesn't score much but sometimes he does show flashes of his talent when he does.

I'll admit there are a lot of empty net tap-ins/dirty goals but maybe he just needs a setup man (no offense to Panarin) that makes that easy for him, like McDavid did for Draisaitl in the past. You might want to skip to the last half of the video since most of the goals are near identical. I think he has what it takes to at least be the next JVR.

Yeah I see JVR and Hall as comparables in terms of player profile, but Lafreniere’s gotta be a lot more effective off the rush and on the forecheck. He makes a lot of controlled zone entries but no setup. He racks up a lot of hits but can’t win ozone time. A part of me wonders if it’s the system, something doesn’t work in the setup for him to be effective.

Yeah, I think he can really benefit from being on a rebuilding team instead, however, if NYR is willing to be patient with him then perhaps by next year he will have broken out.

The way he's used seems to be effective as a net front-presence but if he's not effective enough on the forecheck and winning puck battles and not carrying the puck occasionally on the rush, his point totals are going to be lacking for sure. So, it might just be that his role is too limited in their system and that he needs to elevate his game in certain aspects.

For sure. Honestly I think the whole NYR forward group suffers from too much over coaching. Like there’s no room for creativity at 5v5, ever since Gallant took over Panarin’s impact at 5v5 has plummeted, no one has been able to maintain a forecheck this season and the transition game has been awful. They just cycle back to the D and crash for rebounds every play.

I'm expecting Trotz to take over as interim coach, and perhaps the following year he will become the GM (Drury stays as President) and then maybe they get a more offensive-minded coach.
