Thread: Larkin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>So I agree Chytil could improve in an expanded role and see production increase. All numbers aside he isn't as good as Larkin is right now but he's productive in his role for sure. If in some way Detroit makes a deal with NY id absolutely love to take him.</div></div>

100% for proven vs unproven in terms of value (with Larkin being the more valuable right now). The other guy was just harping that Chytil is nothing, has done nothing, and will never be a top 6 player. I was simply making the point that I'll sign chytil for a $4-5m deal for 8 years and expand his role than give Larkin $8-9m for 8 years. The value in the $4m in savings can not be undervalued. In terms of outplaying the value of your next contract, Chytil has a lot more potential in that aspect than Larkin. Not to mention NYR get to keep the two 1st rounders in a deep draft on top of it.

Show me on this doll where Zary hurt you....

Go back 10 years and find me a 2nd rounder that NYR drafted that made a difference.
2019 - Matthew Robertson, Karl Henriksson
2018 - Olof Lindbom
2015 - Ryan Gropp
2014 - Branden Halverson
2012 - Boo Nieves
2010 - Christian Thomas
2009 - Ethan Werek
2008 - Yevgeni Grachyov
2007 - Antoine Lafleur
2006 - Artem Anisimov


YOU HAVE TO GO BACK 16 YEARS BEFORE YOU FIND ONE THAT HAD A DECENT CAREER. 2nd rounders are shots in the dark and FYI-- almost every year they say it's a deeper draft. Even if you go back to 2018, 4 of the 30 picks have played in 100 games and no one has more than 51 points. (hint he was one of those 4, next highest is 34). Go the next year in 2019 and only 2 players have played more than 100 games (and the highest point total is 54 points).

anything outside the top 20 picks is a real shot in the dark. it always is. its is exceedingly rare that these players go on to make a difference, and when they do it isn't for YEARS. NYR cup contention is next 3-4 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>Keep dreaming. He can't make Calgary's team and you want a 2nd round pick in a deep draft year? Easy NO THANKS.</div></div>

LOL the kid is 21 years old, and has 36 points in 36 games in the AHL. Considering we have Brodzinski, Blais, Vesey, Goodrow, Hajek, and the new guy we claimed on waivers all on the NHL roster, Zary could easily make our team. I think CGY is doing the right thing and not rushing him like we did with Lafreniere, Kakko, Chytil, Kravtsov, etc. We all saw how those guys have panned out so far. Stunted growth and development.

BTW, that 2nd round pick is 3-4 years away from actually playing a game in a NYR sweater. By that point, Panarin, Trouba, Lindgren, Kreider, are all gone. While Zary has the potential to make a difference this year. Stupid to say no to this trade.

Thread: Size Matters
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IDKtbh</b></div><div>I think comparing Miller to Seider is a bit of a stretch. Don’t get me wrong, I think Miller is a fine player and he is just scratching the surface but, Seider is in a different class.

Seider is like a Victor Hedman and Miller is a comparable to Mikhail Sergachev in terms of ‘class’.</div></div>


You really have to look at the numbers before you say Miller isn't on par with Seider.

They both have size and can skate.
They have had roughly the same number of hits the past two years.
Miller has the advantage in takeaways to giveaways
Miller has the advantage in +/-.
Both average 20+ minutes per game.


Seider has the advantage in points, but a large portion of them have come on the PP, something Miller does not really get. For reference, Miller in 180 games has 102m on the powerplay. Seider had 237m last year alone.

Seider overall had the better year last year, but Miller is starting to run away with it this year. If someone has the defensive/offensive impact charts for both I would definitely be interested in seeing/comparing them. I think that would definitely add to the story. I think both are amazing players.

Even if Miller isn't completely on par with Seider (which I'm hesitant to say), the return NYR would want would be within the same vicinity as Seider.
