I think that Zib will find his goal scoring touch again- the rest of his game has been there...And what's wonderful this year is that it hadnt hurt us at all that he hasnt scored like he normally does. This is going to be such a fun season!!!
the problem arises because you make strome sound servable and only a product of panarin. Little respect for his game. - Greschnergy#4
Im not saying hes a product, but Panarin has definitely given him a huge boost to his career. Had he never played with Panarin, Im not sure he gains that confidence in his game to do what hes doing. Sometimes you need that guy to show you that youre better than you think you are, people think you are, the stats say you are. Can he reproduce it on another team that doesnt have a superstar like him? I dont think so, I think he will be productive but not at the clip hes scoring at now. I think it would also be wise to not get too carried away with the length of the contract and try to cap it at 5 years.

I would be hoping for the 5 years too. Or to match the contract end with Panarin's. We also have to remember, Panarin is better than he has ever been too.
Did anyone else read the athletic article about them?

Panarin helps everyone's game. The guy is a top 5 playmaker in the game. With the eye test he is the best Ranger I have ever seen including Messier who is my all time fav.
Yeah, I posted this one because it had the stretcher part. I never saw it live but I do remember seeing it in this video a couple of years ago. - JRR1285
Sam's narrative is just the best- Predictor of things to come
I hate the Rangers more than any team, but that was a 100% clean hit. Khaira had his head down, leaning over, fishing for the puck, and Trouba simply stepped into him. Elbow tucked, skates on the ice, playing through the body.
Very sad that Khaira was injured, but there was nothing illegal/dirty about the hit. That said, since a player was injured, likely a 50-game suspension because logic.
I think he would be an upgrade over Nils right now. I think Nils could use some time in Hartford to work on his game. - aecliptic
I think that’s a logical move for both players. Lundkvist does have a cannon though but they haven’t been using it enough. He’s come close a few times and is always asking for the puck.
