Thread: Rangers Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>There's a big difference between being a future 1C, and what you said, that he's a 3C on the Rangers. He's not a 3C anymore than Trocheck deserves to be a 3C. There's a reason that Chytil was placed on the 2nd line instead of Trocheck and was doing well to start the year. Trocheck being the 3C wasn't an insult to Trocheck. It was just a display of faith in Chytil and an opportunity for him to develop with an elite LW and increased minutes. And it's not like he's done anything wrong to lose the 2C spot. He's not like Kakko who wasn't producing and got demoted because of that. If he never got hurt he would still be on the 2nd line with Panarin and Lafreniere. And I bet that he will either be back with Panarin and Lafreniere next year right away. Or at the very least, as soon as the Trocheck version of the line goes cold, he will take Trocheck's spot again. But this shouldn't even really be an argument because the Rangers are lucky to have such fantastic centre depth that one of Chytil or Trocheck is the 3C.

And like I said RE: Zibanejad, he's on the decline. Trocheck has been way better than Zibenajad this year. So if it were totally up to me, I would have 1st line Chytil, 2nd line Trocheck, 3rd line Zibanejad (or would trade Zibanejad altogether). But I know how these coaches work and they'll never have the guts to demote Zibanejad even if he plays poorly.</div></div>

You are completely wrong on why Trocheck started the year as 3C. It was because the new coach likes to have a 3rd line that is a shut down/checking line and that is something Chytil cannot do but Trocheck can, so he gave Chytil a shot at 2C to see if he could progress. If Lavi didn't prefer a defensive 3rd line he would have had Trocheck as 2C to start the year because it is obvious to every GM, coach, assistant coach and hockey executive in the NHL that Trocheck is a far superior NHL center than Chytil and it's not even that close. But now after seeing how Panarin and Laffy play on a line with Trocheck, no NHL coach would split them up and throw in an inferior center on that line in the hopes he can progress and become a legit 2C. IF Chytil can play again, he will be their 3C because he is the 3rd best NHL center on their roster, period, amen. You want to live in a fantasy world where Chytil is a better 1C or 2C than Mika or Trocheck, go ahead, but it's not reality based.

You know what? I went and looked up some of your past trade proposals for the Rangers and it's pretty obvious you are either a troll or not dealing in reality. The funniest were the trade Artemi Panarin with 50% retention, but the trade Igor and trade Laffy ones were pretty funny too. Enjoy your trolling.

Thread: Chytil sent back home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Again, it would of course depend on the cost. There are not a lot of quality C or RW out there for trade to begin with, so any quality player is going to cost. If Chytil is out the rest of the year, they need to do something to fill the 3C if Wheeler isn't that guy because rolling with Bonino at 3C is not going to cut it. What are the center options? Tyler Johnson? Probably the least cost to acquire and he has playoff experience. Can get the Hawks to retain cap too. Henrique would cost more than Johnson and Lindholm would cost a ton probably. who else?</div></div>

Henrique will cost what I offered. Lindholm has been not good this year, so I don’t think he’ll be worth what they want. Monahan and Novak are other center targets. They don’t really need much else besides an upgrade top 9 RW maybe

They can get depth players for later round picks like they did with Braun or even bring back Motte

Thread: Making the Rangers true contenders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>A useless 1st? No first round pick is useless. Tell me you haven't thought about the future of the Rangers beyond the next 2 years without telling me. And once again this is where I draw the line between being a NYR fan and a homer. You don't pay a 3rd line centre Trochek's salary. I love Trochek's game but you don't do that. Realistically he should have never been signed in the first place. It's fine for a 2C but he's not that anymore.

Kreider is absolved from any criticism because he constantly outperforms his contract, is a proven clutch player, and looks like he's going to score 50+ goals this year. You don't ask how, you ask "how many" when the production is that high. Not to mention that he's literally the glue holding this team together and the only remnant left from the Lundqvist era. He's now 4th all time scorer in FRANCHISE HISTORY. A guy who's number will be in the rafters one day doesn't suck and doesn't require any criticism.

I have criticized Kakko. His lack of production is unacceptable in the #1 RW role. Thus why I traded him right along with Zibanejad in this hypothetical situation. But even he gets more credit and leeway than Zibanejad since he's 22 years old and still developing.</div></div>

Trocheck right now is more valuable than a 1st round pick who wouldn’t be nhl ready until 2027 lol

Vegas has Karlsson playing 3C and he’s making $5m as well. But I suppose Vegas isn’t a good team

Mika is the rangers most valuable forward outside of Panarin lol. Coming off 91 points, plays big minutes, huge PP guy, kills penalties, sturdy defensively. You know how many times I’ve watch Chytil stuck in no man’s land defensively? Chytil isn’t on Mika’s level and couldn’t hold his jockstrap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>Chytil is hurt that's not his fault. And Chytil put up 6As in 10 games. Only one of those was on the powerplay. So I'd say he's doing amazing at 5v5 actually. And now I'm convinced that you don't watch the games. Chytil is constantly driving to the net and shooting. Zibanejad looks like he's skating through concrete. Just because Chytil has been snakebitten so far this year doesn't mean he's soft. The goals will come.

You thinking Chytil and Laffy are products of Panarin just shows more proof that you don't watch the game. It's a symbiotic relationship. All three of them are making each other better. Panarin looks better with Chytil than he ever did with Trochek.</div></div>

Lmao 3 of assist in 1 game. Other than that chytil hasn’t done anything. Mika is snakebitten too lmao do you even watch the games?????

Lmao Panarin can play with anyone, that’s how elite he is. Chytil and Laffy don’t get goals or assist if it isn’t for Panarin

Bro not 1 ranger fan agrees with any of your takes
