Sooo, does Chytil come back as the center for Laf & Panarin? Trochek looks amazing there right now.

Didn't Chytil already get put as a winger at some point previously, and it wasnt pretty.

Yeah under AV and Quinn.

When Chytil comes back, you slot in at center on the 3rd line.

10-16-13
50-72-24

That that 3rd line is the new Kid line.

I don’t think it matters, it’s only a matter of time till he gets hurt again. Chytill always seems to be injured lol

Sorry. Having played in over 330 NHL games disqualifies one from being labelled as a "kid."

As it should be in that hypothetical. Because the problem was LAf somewhat. It looked like he didn't get it, but also before this year he was still 2nd on this team in 5 on 5 goals. It's very hard to score at 5 on 5 in the current NHL, ad yet he somehow finds a way to do it.

Was listening to Rupp on the radio the other day discussing Laf. Just praised him for his work ethic. He said that while you like to get more production out of your 1OA he sees a more complete player at this point compared to other draft picks that still need to learn the defensive side of the puck. He also really liked that Lafreniere like to throw the body around.

Anyone else watching that Laf shootout goal on repeat? So damn clean!! Most of his goals this season have kinda trickled in, he’s about to start BURYING them.

You get my point though. I think Cuylle and Kakko have more points if they play with Fil than with Binino. Not a shot at Bonino, but that this point in his career, he's not suited to be a top 9 center.

You bide time with the 1st line RW. Hopefully they can get one of Lindholm, Tarasenko, or Duclair.

Kind a weird how off Zib looks. Not hitting the net, puck handling looks off etc. I'm sure it will come around, but damn.

He just seems like a player than benefits from pat on the back more than a chewing out. Got a feeling, just by how Lavy runs practices that he's instilling confidence into Laf, which is what we all wanted.

Looks so lost. Idk if he's fighting through an injury or if he's having a hard time adjust to being a dad. Idk what it is, but everything for seems like it's delayed.

If that line was really going Kreider might be leading the league in total points

Had such high hopes for Kakko this year. I like Toms idea, put him back with Chytil

They've played well together in the past. And with Cuylle growing to a power forward, I like the idea of that line.

Yeah. It makes a lot of sense. Very balanced line
