Schmid stunk almost as often as he was good. How many times did he get pulled in the playoffs? 3 times in 8 games? I would not be pinning my hopes on him and feeling 100% confident just yet. Vanecek had a good season but was wobbly in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) He's been a huge bust as a first overall pick so far, but the Rangers could look into signing Lafreniere cheaply. Edited August 9, 2023 by Sharpshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think individual players softness probably gets overstated relative to team style of play. Panarin wasn't known to be soft before he got here. Kreids, Kakko, Trochek...these are not guys whose very makeup seems to be soft - maybe they've been showcased in a 'soft' system/culture. Zib is just a world class player - you don't dictate too much to a guy at his level - just unlock his natural genius. Whenever there gets to be this reputation that most players on a team fit a certain mold, i ask the question - how did that happen? Like - what are the chances the NYR just happen to miss on a consensus 1OA and 2OA? What are the chances the NYR just happen to sign, extend, trade for all these 'soft' players? Seems more easily explainable by the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
