  1. It has nothing to do with Cuylle. Chill out with the conspiracy theories. Vince quoted Lavi saying he doesn't want anyone sitting for long stretches going into the playoffs and if he could play all 13 of them at the same time he would. We're likely to see Vesey and Goodrow get a game or two off as well. Look up the article if you want or don't. Up to you.
  2. This made me instantly think of a future line of Cuylle - Rempe - Chmelar, where Cuylle is the "small guy" at 6'3" 212lbs.
  3. The Delta center sucks for hockey, but the state legislature is prepared to spend lots of money for new stadiums, up to a billion each for a new arena and an MLB stadium. Come back in 10 years and see how much shit they build to get the olympics.
  4. Wennberg should be at least 14. Will have to wait until Thursday.
  5. 1. Igor Shesterkin +2 2. Artemi Panarin 3. Vincent Trocheck 4. Chris Kreider 5. Adam Fox 6. Alexis Lafrenière 7. Mika Zibanejad 8. Jonathan Quick 9. K'Andre Miller 10. Ryan Lindgren 11. Kaapo Kakko 12. Jimmy Vesey 13. Braden Schneider 14. Will Cuylle 15. Matt Rempe 16. Erik Gustafsson 17. Alexander Wennberg 18.Jonny Brodzinski 19. Jack Roslovic 20. Barclay Goodrow 21. Zac Jones 22. Chad ----- .959 sv% over the last 7. .930 over the last 16.
  6. He is signed for next year and should be able to fill Gus' spot just fine.
  7. That's 246 minutes over 76 games. Again that counts random line change time. The only significant time on another actual line was about 100 minutes with Jeff Carter. https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_linecombo.php?select=F&forward=PIT%3A4386%3AJAKE%3AGUENTZEL&games=2021-2022%3AR%3A99&period=ALL&situation=EV
  8. It wasn't more than half. He played just over 100 of the 400 minutes with Jeff Carter. All your saying is Guentzel works with good skill players. As much as you don't want to admit it Zib is good. Zib is averaging a career high in primary assists per 60, but sure don't put another 40 goal scorer on his line.
  9. No it's not. Your "without Crosby" is 2 minutes per game in the middle of line changes.
  10. Plus whatever number of games he played with a broken face.
  11. No one is shitting on Rempe. Just pointing out that absorbing punches with your face isn't a good strategy for career longevity.
  12. They're adding a RW because there's a hole there. Trading a roster RW to fill that hole doesn't make any sense.
  13. To clarify, I don't mean that centers don't matter in general. I mean that on that line, in the middle of Cuylle and Kakko, Brodzinski is fine. I don't think adding a Wennberg moves the needle. Brozinski is at .41 ppg pace in 11:28 per night. Wennberg is .40 in 18:40 per night. Brodzinski is much better on draws. I get that Brodzinski doesn't have the track record, but that's not important when the line runs through Kakko. He can chip in plenty of points to keep pace just by giving Kakko the puck and collecting rebounds.
  14. I used to feel this way too, but honestly, I don't think the C matters much. Cuylle is gonna Cuylle no matter what. The difference maker is Kakko. I was posted that the Rangers 3rd in GA/G (2.45) when Kakko was healthy, and dropped to 21st (3.29) when he was out. I was told one player doesn't make that big of a difference, but since he's been healthy they are back to 4th (2.47). On top of that Kakko has the 3rd line scoring just as much as the Trochek line at EV strength. RW is a much bigger need.
  15. stopped 69 out of the last 70 indoors. definitely had a rocky start to the season, but i wouldn't put a ton of stock in the outdoor game. weird backdrops, wind, shadows, super bouncy boards.
  16. I'm not mad at it at all. It would be cool to throw Othmann on the top line just for the outdoor game though.
