Thread: My prediction for the opening night lineup roster and taxi squad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>He'll do what he always does, fly down the wing and shoot from the half boards and then lose possession and then fail to backcheck. He never crashes the net either so he won't work with Crosby. He's billed as something he just isn't. He's like AA, super fast, terrible defensively and lazy</div></div>

I agree he’s kinda like Kessel, younger and more unproven for sure, horrible with possession and defensive. Hell of a wrister if he can get it off. Doesn’t play physical, but if people are drawn to Crosby will give him more room to shoot, when he was at his best with toronto was because he was on a better line with faster players getting more of the defensive coverage. He’s still young and if it doesn’t work out has a skill set where he’d be easy to move still.

Thread: HUGE trade with Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Root</b></div><div>But then again you think Elliott,Simmonds,Morin and good for Nugent-Hopkins,Talbot :awesome</div></div>

I mean Elliott still is a way better goalie than Talbot and much better contract than what Edm had. Simmonds is gonna have a good rebound season, and could have played a wing role with McDavid like Maroon did but I think Simmonds is more talented than Maroon. They basically are trying to replace Maroon’s production with Neal. All three of those wingers play a similar style of hockey, I think the most talented is Simmer, than Neal, than Marion. Morin is a project but could be a solid D man this upcoming season. A lot of it was also considering the cap situation.

The reason I don’t think this deal works is cause Krieder walks and you gave up your two best assets, that could help you move a bad contract, and rebuild/ reboot your franchise. When Kreider walks McDavid will want a trade because he’s already said if the management doesn’t do something he will. Personally if I’m Kreisler I want to try and stay with NYR now. He has a decent role on a team with a lot of really good pieces that just might be able to contend these next few seasons.
