Thread: Rebuild time JUST KIDDING Win now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Kuzy scoring a high amount of points in the best team in the league couple of years ago doesn't mean much by now. His latest campaign was a disappointment...

By the same token you could ask how many points Panarin-Ziba-Buch line would make. Sadly, there's no answer to that, because they don't play together.

Panarin almost managed to break 100 points with Ryan f*cking Strome in a shortened season, so breaking 100 points should be relatively easy feat for him with any better centre. It's more about how much Panarin would have to carry Kuzy in that line...</div></div>

Wait... so Panarin can get close to 100 points with Ryan Strome and you're saying Kuzy is a downgrade?... He has unbelievable puck handling skills and an is an amazing two way player in my opinion. He and Panarin on the same line would be unstoppable. It is no surprise either than Panarin playing with another Russian on his line communicating and playing a similar game together would up his production even more. Ziba and Panarin don't play together because their play styles are virtually incompatible and I think it would be a superstar bottleneck. I agree that this deal favors the Caps but only because of what a good deal the Rangers are getting on Ziba. How do you like my edit? I dropped Fox in the deal, added a first rounder and traded Jensen for Jokiharju?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>At what? Defense and faceoffs? Kuznetsov got 32 points in the 2018 postseason. That's top-ten, all-time, and 2nd among active players.

Kuznetsov has 27 goals and 62 points in 78 career playoff games. Over an 82 game season, that's a 65 point pace.

Zibanejad has 5 goals and 19 points in 31 career playoff games. Over an 82 game season, that's a 50 point pace.



It might, if you thought about what makes Kuznetsov valuable, and considered whether or not the Rangers want a championship. It might if you imagined how good a line of Panarin, Kuznetsov, and Buchnevich would be. No. Fox makes up the difference between Zibanejad and Kuznetsov. Jensen and a 2nd are sweeteners.</div></div>

This is exactly what I am saying. Especially with what New York could get back for their first rounder. The delusion of Rangers fans that they are still "rebuilding" is getting a little hard to watch... they need guys who have been there before and can take the team to the next level in Veteran experience. They paid out for Panarin and have a strong core in Trouba, Jensen is a great add for some grit. If they keep trading or losing veterans (Shattenkirk) while they wait for young talent to "mature" than they will continue their Sisyphean quest to be legendary at Round 1 exits.
