Yeah this makes a lot of sense- the early games NYR won were pretty bad efforts with a lot of luck and incredible goaltending and now the last few weeks they have looked much better and dominant. If they can avoid injuries to their defense (Tinordi and Hajek waiting in the wings  ) they are going to have a very good year.And it’s ok to be nervous about Laf but as it’s been pointed out before- he has had one of the worst PP and TOI totals of recent 1st overall picks.

ThinkTank posted:I wouldn't go so far as to say Lafreniere was considered a game changing talent, just an above average first overall pick. He was CHL MVP two years in a row and I think I compared him to a Taylor Hall (non-Hart version) level first overall pick. The kinda guy you'd expect to get 50-60ish points out of the box and peak around 80-90pts in his prime. He has absolutely underperformed in a serious way but statistically there's no reason that should be the case. He wasn't a world beater offensively in junior, but he on par with most other 1st overalls to come out of the CHL. QMJHL scoring is consistently a bit higher than the other two leagues, but nothing close to the disparity there once was so his stats weren't appreciably inflated in any way. Nico Hischier came out of the same league a few years prior putting up crappier numbers and had a 52 point rookie season. I kinda figured that was the floor expectations wise for Lafreniere. 1. Lack of proper training camp, full season experience, and all other consistency issues due to COVID. 2. Really poor TOI and PP (all of his goals have been at even strength) opportunities for a 1OA, take a look   I am still hopeful that with better and consistent opportunities he will improve. I am also far more confident in Gallant than Quinn in helping him reach that potential. Still a concerning start but I’m not ready to hit the panic button.

Shesterkin on IR, will miss at least 3 games Hopefully it’s only 3 games but Georgiev has been shaky to say the least... Edit: Also a busy schedule ahead with a few back to backs so we will probably see a 3rd stringer start if Igor isn’t back soon. Great!

Announcing (well leaking I suppose) a hiring before firing the current coach seems odd. I’m thinking co-coaches. Benning will become co-GM with Pierre McGuire.

grack posted:Everything the Canucks do has to be done as stupidly as possible, apparently. It really is bizarre- even in a league so adverse to change like the NHL, GMs and coaches can be dumped at any time and it’s often quick and unceremonious. Vancouver has chosen the equivalent of pulling a bandaid off over the course of three weeks. Just clear house! It will make pretty much every stakeholder beneath the owner happy!

Koopa Kid posted:https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1467895519062147073?s=20 I swear this has happened a bunch of times this season. If they are going to continue to encourage a culture of “players work things out on the ice” then they just need to just call penalties or else you get 20 minutes of vigilante justice that results in far more mayhem then if you just called the original penalty to begin with. They call borderline minors all the time yet are too scared to call one when they know it’s gonna be a shitshow the rest of the game.

The New York Rangers have the best points percentage in the league and Ryan Reaves has two multi point games. Pay no attention to the fact that they will probably lose terribly to Colorado tomorrow.

Matt Zerella posted:You know what? they might but I still think about that game vs Florida. Oh for sure, I’m done actually trying to predict things with this team. I’m just not at all confident in a back to back with Georgiev as essentially the only option. Panarin has looked so much better than at the beginning of the season. He has been dominant. But again, who needs him when you have Ryan “Hands of Gold” Reaves?

It blows my mind that these teams don’t ever even consider contingency plans. Benning has been on the hot seat for years but even pretending that his job was completely secure, you don’t ever think about who else you could put in that position? You don’t consider it to the point that you have to hire a 73 year old interim GM to mentor someone eventually? Why put somebody in the GM role at such a crucial time when you clearly don’t trust them to have that position permanently? How are these people so loving incompetent? they are rich and dumb

DOOMocrat posted:Absolutely loving wild Mike Smith outlasted Ben Bishop. Can't fathom it. Goalies are so hard to predict. You look at a guy like Quick who flops like a fish on the ice every night popping out his shoulder and knees but is still going and then you have Lundqvist who was very conservative and positional and he gets taken out of the game with a random heart issue.

VOTE1 posted:Does future considerations actually ever amount to something (ie if said player plays 50 games becomes a 5th rounder) or is it just to make the traded guy feel less bad that he’s been given away? I believe sometimes it’s followed by a minor leagues trade or loan. Maybe to avoid waiver or contract issues by not including it in the original deal?

You know exactly what about watching Ruff do a poor job with the Rangers defense despite having the best defenseman in the game made the Devils go “hmmm, this is head coach right here”? Like nothing about his most recent tenure with a team they played 50 times last year was a good audition for more responsibility. Gotta love this league.

They are just going to push forward with half-AHL teams at this point. This is going to be a rough restart. Also I’m not sure how taxi squads are going to solve the problem when those guys test positive after one game. We are going to see ECHL guys playing at this rate. Everybody in each organization gets a start and then you rotate!
