Thread: Possible move in the off-season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BamBam80</b></div><div>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></div>

I am aware of my past commentary and I stand by my past commentary. If Panarin plays like he did in the playoffs, I want him launched into space. If you are going to play with that little effort while literally bending the team over contract wise, you don't deserve to be a New York Ranger. However, Panarin has looked good playing with Chytil and Lafreniere so for now he can stay. You guys take things way too personally. Everyone thinks that I was pro-trading Panarin due to Panarin as a person or something. When really it has been 100% about what he does/doesn't do on the ice. He looks like a new player under PL and with the young guys. Therefore I have no problem with him staying. If he gets back to his old ways he can go.

Trochek's contract is fine if he is a 2C but is a huge overpay as a 3C. Especially because I'm of the opinion that he should be nowhere near the powerplay.

Thread: Bringing back Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYRxLundqvist</b></div><div>I don't think he does but either way laf is stuck behind panarin and kreider... when panarin flops again this off-season maybe he gets moved and laf can play lw in the top 6 🤞</div></div>

I'm hoping for the same. Love the flair. Trade him for picks for all I care. Just put us out of our misery as soon as possible because this team is going nowhere with him

I'm fine with only Kreider blocking Laf especially if the 1st and 2nd lines are being deployed equally. Plus Kreider will probably have a natural transition down the lineup within a couple years. But the Panarin situation is unacceptable.

Kakko is defensively great so I hope he can find his footing but it just doesn't seem like the mindset is there. I wouldn't be too upset if they packaged him up for an elite proven RW because maybe a change of scenery would benefit him. But he should be getting an extended look on the top line this year so we will see if he can prove himself
