In all serious Idk how the lines work. Like rick said. 20-93-34 was very good in limited minutes. But for that work long term, Kakko has to start scoring or learn how to be an elite passer. With Panarin, the defensive part of his game is gone.

All good. Give the credit to Matt. His Q rating is higher.

Yeah. Kakko is so good away from the puck and defensively. I think the Finns are born that way. He showed glimpses of his strength going to the net and shooting more last year. Hopefully that continues

Yeah. I'm just trying to see where he would fit. It definitely wouldn't be with Panarin.
- mdw7413


Its kind of why I think...

Panarin, Zib, Kakko
Kreider, Chytil, Trochek
LAF, Goodrow, Wheeler

works best when it comes to balance and each line having defensive responsibility, someone who can win faceoffs, as well as scoring.

Laf is gonna struggle there. Kind of the odd man out

Actually, the odd man out is probably Goodrow. Wheeler and LAF are offensive guys, although LAF did have 141 hits last year and was a +10 which probably has to do more with GG making sure they (the kids) were out there against bottom 6 lines.

The other acceptable lines could be...

Panarin, Zib, Kakko
Kreider, Chytil, LAF
Goodrow, Trochek, Wheeler

The problem in this scenario, although the lines arent bad is the 2nd line. LAF's decision making is questionable and Chytil cant win faceoffs.

Id probably go with the 2nd set up. Kreider is decent on f/o and could easily take important draws. Assuming Chytil hasn't been working a lot on f/os over the summer.

Why isn't Kreider on Mika's wing? Flip him with Panarin no?

His finishing sucks. Hes like gauthier but with a more well rounded offensive skill set. Just can’t put it in the net. Worth a flier by a team
- picklerick


With the number of misses the Rangers have had in the early first round it would feel amazing to pick up one of these guys and have them breakout. We deserve it.
