<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Masonh618</b></div><div>I don’t expect Chytil to sign for that little especially after the Boldy extension. Boldy is obv better but it raised the market for all young productive forwards in general. I had Chytil getting that initially but now I think the price is about $1M more AAV.

This is also too cap constrained. No team is going to deploy a roster that can’t fit 23 players within the salary cap like this one does.</div></div>

I think NYR needs to trade Trouba &amp; Goodrow, also they may need a coach who is a little more open to new ideas &amp; teaching methods. He can’t surround the young guys with fourth line quality teammates like Rooney, Reaves, Vesey, Hunt, Brodzinski &amp; Carpenter every year. Pick up some younger high end talent that are reclaim projects and develop them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Jesus these are all awful for the Leafs.

-Both sides decline - this is too much for the Leafs to give up and way too much for the Canucks to retain.

-Ilya Samsonov's put up a .924 SV%/2.09 GAA. There's no world where you should be trading someone performing at that level for a Max Domi. If you really want him, give up something like a 3rd and an Alex Steeves-level prospect, not your 1B goalie, and especially not when your 1A is the man most synonymous with "oft-injured" these days, Matt Murray.

-Somehow this is the worst - a legit 4th/5th D who's been giving you a pretty solid 18 minutes a night (and holding his own at 20+ minutes the last couple weeks) for a guy who can't get off the 4th line on a lottery team? What is this even?</div></div>

It’s funny how all of my posts get taken down but this stuff is allowed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>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.

Thread: Lafreniere et Kakko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>I mean, that's what Patrick Kane said. You can go argue with him it you want. Here's exactly what he said :

"It's tough coming into the league at 18-19 as the third overall pick. The expectations are high. When you're playing on a fourth line, you don't play as much as you should. He showed a lot of potential but was in a tough role." - Patrick Kane

"We are happy for him. He's played in difficult situations on the third and fourth lines here. Every time he's been used in offensive situations, he's had some success. I loved playing with him; he was able to create space for me" - Patrick Kane.

You still think he played 2 full seasons centering Kane and DeBrincat? I hope you're not a BlackHawks fan, that would be hilarious.</div></div>

He started both of the past 2 seasons with Kane-DeBrincat but got bumped off for Suter and Strome. And honestly both Strome &amp; Suter put up better numbers than him on the top line.

We’re not comparing who’s better right now, at the time of trade, Lafreniere was better than Dach in CHI. Laf scored 19 5v5 goals with Goodrow + Gauthier.
