Done with Zibanejad Rangers Next Year
By the way, you should take out the Coach from your moniker. To state that the NYR Front Office should threaten to scratch Zibs for 82 games if he does not remove his NMC is a surefire way of killing any team chemistry and would probably result in a lot of players looking to leave in free agency and not one top free agent would want to sign with the team. But hey, Chytil would be 1C right?

Imagine being a NY Ranger fan and on the eve of the start of the playoffs in a season in which the Team has played very well and has had the fewest losses in the league, you are going to crawl out below the rock that you have been hiding under because your boy wonder has resumed skating. To call a guy who is currently #11 all time in NY Ranger scoring and who will likely end up top 5 on that list "gutless, pedestrian, low lazy effort". You are a troll and please don't call yourself a NY Ranger fan. Just as a reminder to all of you who may think this is a harsh response, this is the guy that would have traded everyone of our top players at one time or another to make sure his "savior" Chytil could play 1C.

I agree about Chytil. Needs to be shut down for the rest of the season for the sake of his long term health. As for the Team, Drury needs to move to Plan B immediately using his cap space. I like the moves.

I was having a tough time figuring value for Mitellstadt. He is having a pretty good year, has comparable stats with Chytil and is only 25 and he would be an RFA for us next year. I like Henrique as a low cost 3C rental but Mitellstadt would fill the void in the event that Chytil is not able to come back from this concussion next year.

Making the Rangers true contenders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>It's a reflection on you that you don't answer any of my questions, or address any of my points, but want to turn around and say no one is ever going to change my mind. Lol. Pot calling the kettle black eh? My profile pic is funny. I didn't even make it myself. It's not me saying anything negative about Jesus (who I believe in BTW) so I would love to know what it "reflects" onto me.
Chytil is currently better than Mika at 5v5. Chytil's all-around game is better than Mika's was, when Mika was Chytil's age. If any NHL GM couldn't concede these things, just based on pure numbers, then they're idiots. The facts literally back up what I'm saying. Does that mean Chytil's current all-around game is better than Mika's current all-around game? No. But when all is said and done and both players are retired from hockey, I'd love to see who has the better career. Better stats and more accolades. Guarantee it will be Filip based on what we've already seen from him. So you initially telling me that "the numbers don't back up" my assertion was hilarious. Admit that you were wrong.</div></div>
OK Coach. I did go back and check Mika's stats to compare him to where Chytil is right now at age 24 and 58 days. Mika's season from 11-12 through the end of the 16-17 season compared to Chytil's career. Both started in the NHL at 18 and played 337 games; Mika 78 goals, 110 assists (16PP & 2SH goals included) a .558 pts/game clip. Chytil 64 goals, 80 assists (10PP goals included) a .427 pts/game. CF% Mika - 54.8; Chytil - 51.5. XGF% Mika (-2.4), Chytil (-5.3). By the way, Mika accomplished this playing for Ottawa and then the Rangers with all of the adjustment that is normal moving to another team. Chytil is not a better player than Mika at the same age. As far as currently, Chytil has been given every opportunity to succeed for the Rangers. I am encouraged that he keeps getting better but until Chytil posts back to back seasons like Mika has, he is not a better player. You want another stat, check out the disparity of Ozone and Dzone 5v5 starts between Mika and Chytil for last season and this season. We may all think that NHL Coaches are idiots for not doing what we think they should but purposefully trying to lose games is not something they like to do. I know you are fixated on the 5v5 statistics but in order to understand that, you need to know what can skew the numbers. Mika plays on the 1st line while Chytil until this season played on the third line. That means that Mika's line more often than not would be playing against the other top line, at least more than Chytil's line was. Why? Again look at possession numbers and faceoff percentages. Chytil's lifetime faceoff % is 40.4%, Mika's is 50.5%. Finally, Mika's career oiGF/60 vs oiGA/60 is 2.9 vs 2.6; while Chytil's career oiGF/60 vs oiGA/60 is 2.4 vs 2.5. I like Chytil but he is not ready for 1C. Remember, he has had plenty of opportunity to prove everyone wrong, he has played in 337 NHL games. If he is truly ready to step up, he should be knocking down the Coach's door demanding to do so and more importantly proving it on the ice.

Making the Rangers true contenders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>No. There are certain untouchables on the Rangers. Those untouchables are: Chytil, Lafreniere, Kreider, Fox, and Schneider. I'll never change my opinion on those guys needing to stay for the future of our team. Kreider isn't out of a necessity for the future, but out of respect for a franchise legend who will be in the rafters at Madison Square Garden one day. It would be a travesty to run him out of town. Just like I thought it was a travesty to run Hank Lundqvist out of town. You don't see Pittsburgh running Crosby out of town or Washington running OV out of town.
Anyone else, I don't necessarily want gone, but they aren't untouchable. Kakko is an example of this. I'm fine with Kakko and have no problem with Kakko and I'm not necessarily trying to get rid of him. But if an offer came across Chris Drury's desk involving him and some other "touchable" Ranger for a star like Cozens, you simply have to do it in a heartbeat as a GM. Because Kakko, while not a liability like Zibanejad, hasn't proven himself to be an untouchable member in high standing, of the NYR.
Why would Chytil need to be traded? You can't just "forget stats for a second here", what an idiotic comment. He's fast, big, strong, drives to the net, and actually scores outside of the powerplay. Not to mention he took a discount on his last deal. I don't care about his face-off percentage, and I don't care that he missed 8 games last year. Those are minor problems and it's not that big of a deal. Cale Makar hasn't played a full 82 game season in his career. Should the Avs get rid of him? Is he not #1 Dman Material? How about Fox? Fox is about to miss a month. Does that make Fox soft and we should get rid of him? It's honestly weird that you guys hold Chytil's concussion history against him. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't control or enjoy being on the receiving end of dirty/late hits. And I don't care that Zibanajed has only missed 1 game since then. A lot of good that did us with all the Cups we've won since 2020-21, right?
And the numbers absolutely back up my assertion. Chytil's full 24yo season hasn't happened yet, so let's examine his 6th season (last year) to Zibanejad's 6th season:
Chytil 22G, 23A, TOI/G 14:41
Mika 14G, 23A TOI/G 17:04
Oh would you look at that, Zbad did less than Chytil and played on average 3 more minutes per night than Chytil did. And, during that season (2016-17), 4 of those goals and 7 of those assists were on the powerplay. Whereas last year, Chytil only had 3 goals and 2 assists on the powerplay. Chytil is more effective than Zibanejad 5v5 now AND when they were the same age. Zibanejad is a powerplay merchant and not fit to be the 1C on a Cup Winning Team. Go ask the Edmonton Oilers how well powerplay merchancy has served them. You clearly did zero research on this topic.</div></div>
No one is going to ever change your mind. You have Chytil's face superimposed over Jesus' image (which is a real reflection on you by the way) with a statement of Chytil 4 Conn Smythe. Have you ever played sports? Coached sports? I do like Chytil and feel for the kid in terms of his concussions. All I can tell you is that if you made that statement about Chytil being better than Mika to any of the NHL GMs, they would all laugh out loud and point out how wrong you are. Did you watch the game last night? If you really think that Chytil could have done the same things that Mika did (yes all of the intangibles), then you need to pick another sport to watch.

First Panarin and now Zibanajed. Trochek, Kakko and I am sure soon you will propose Fox if he has a few bad games because the NYR have not won a cup. What I don't see is you proposing to trade Chytil? Forget stats for a second here. You brush it off as if it is not a problem but the guy has a problem staying healthy. You want to annoint him as 1C but since his first full year in 20-21 without time in Hartford, he has played in 83.5% of the regular season games, 193 out of 231. The guy you want to replace as 1C, Zib has played 230 out of 231 games. Yes that's right, he has missed only one game. You are also delusional in thinking that Chytil is better than Zib was at 24, the numbers don't back up your assertion.

How can you imagine what the team could have done with a Panarin-Chytil-Laf line last year? You have been proposing trading Panarin for anyone who can lace up their skates. At least be a little self-aware of your past commentary. Trochek is playing third line this year. Let's see what his production is playing the full year in that role. If you look at his career stats, the $5.6M is not out of line for a 2-way center.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>Do you remember the Nash era of NYR? Nash cost us at least one Cup with his lackluster playoff performances. History is currently repeating itself with Panarin and no one wants to do anything about it. It's not being negative it's being realistic. You can't honestly tell me that you'd rather have Panarin on this team over someone like Rantanen, Marner, or even Konecny.</div></div>
Konecny? Please, that is just demonstrating your hate for Panarin. Marner or Rantanen? Fair enough, but ask yourself the question how much success would they have had playing with Trochek or Strome as their centers rather than Matthews or MacKinnon. Those two centers were the best player on their respective lines. Panarin has not played with a better player since he played with Kane in Chicago.

You may be right about that. I am just looking at how we can unlock Panarin for the playoffs. I would really like to see if Kreider, Trochek and Vesey could be a true match up line. I don't know why but I am strangely confident in Laviolette's ability to maximize this roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gdli</b></div><div>I have been in your camp for some time. But there seems to be significant sentiment to shuffle the deck. I think the Rangers are shopping Laffy. If I am correct here's my shuffle:

TBD 1 candidates Tarasenko at #2 RW, Blake to #3 RW or Phil Kessel immediately come to mind. There should be some extra dinero to throw K'Andre. possibly to a long term deal (although a think a 3 year bridge deal followed by an 8year lock in bring K'Andre to age 34.</div></div>
I think the ship has sailed on Tarasenko with the Wheeler signing. The Rangers would be very foolish to give up on Laf. All they need to do is look at the improvement progression that Chytil and Kakko have shown in their careers. I also would not give up on Chytil as a center yet.

I am fine with that. If Othmann makes the team, then it gives the Rangers that much more flexibility. I just want Drury to leave some cap space open so that it builds up and gives them much more to work with at the trade deadline compared to the fiasco they had this year.
