Kakko and goodrow dude

Ok dude, the point on trades is to get stronger. Youre trading a starting RW for a starting RW, its about as lateral a move as you can make. We need RWs, we shouldnt be trading them.

If the rangers value him who’s to say another team doesn’t? They get Kakko as their door prize 😂

And they could buy him out. They’re contenders, he’s good in the room remember? He has two cups. I think they’d actually want him as a 4th line guy. We just need a sniper, they have an unhappy one

Nothing is possible with you I get it, but I don’t think that way until I shouldn’t. If the TDL passes and he’s still here, ok I’ll surrender that flag

Maybe drury trades goodrow somewhere else but it’s not going to be a cap strapped contender taking him on. The sweetener to move him is gonna suck too. This season more than ever it looks grim on the trade front due to the injury situation screwing us.

I really worry about Chytil's mental status coming back. Doubly so in the playoffs when play gets more physical, harder, better, faster, stronger...

If we dont have a backup plan for Chytil in the event that he cant handle it, we could be royally screwed.

I think strategy wise, the best course of action would be to get a 3C and move Chytil to LW. This way IF Chytil cant maintain a consistent level of play or hes just not ready or god forbid he takes another hit, that were not relying on him at center since were deep at LW.

Id put him on the 3rd and either move Cuylle to 4LW or to one of the vacant RW spots. I think Cuylle is far more agreeable to playing his off wing than Chytil.

A more extreme option is to put Chytil at 1LW and sort of insulate him around our best guys, while bumping Kreider down to 3LW.

I’m convinced Kakko sucks. So I disagree 🤷🏻‍♂️Kuzmenko Imo needs a new team, a buddy in Panarin and he’ll be good.

I see the need for a goal scorer on this team. To make a legit top 6. You guys all want to blame a two man line like it’s easy to play that way. I disagree there too. Reports are everywhere Vancouver is making a trade, I’m putting two and two together in saying it’s Kuzmenko moving…so I say why not us!!

I have never wanted to trade a first rd pick as I do this year. It’s time. Why you ask? Because I want a damn Stanley cup. You all want to wait to til Schneider is really good. When that happens, BTW, Panarin will gone so it’ll be even harder to do that. It’s one of the more ridiculous takes I’ve ever seen

Kakko goodrow and a first…for Kuzmenko. Get er done Chris

He’s a goal scorer. It’s his game. Who thought Vatrano could score like that when we had him. He’s been in the dog house all season. Which is why you can get him

I am on board, but Im not on board with trading Kakko nor do I think "Kakko sucks". I dont think Kakko sucks, he just happens to be developing into a different player than we expected we would get.

Can I ask you question, been gnawing at me…

How is it you respect goodrow for wearing a fish bowl, and Stepan, WHO YOU DESPISED, wore one in the playoffs for us. What gives man??

Been trying to figure that one out Stepan did a million percent more for us then Goodrow could dream of doing

I expect ((crickets))

Bro he can’t even hit a wide open net 🤦 and the problem it’s extremely necessary that he is goal scorer by now. Not moral victories of him playing solid
Defense aren’t cutting it. We need a 1RW of Chytil is cleared and healthy

Players like Kakko are necessary for the playoffs. Ask the Edmonton Oilers what all those goals have gotten them the last 6 years.

Not a single person here will disagree with you that we need to score more goals, its the way in which you go about these trades thats ridiculous. Without fail, theres always a new flavor of the week with you. Theres no balance within the trades, its all or nothing. Here is Kuzmenko, the new flavor of the week. A guy who is a goalscorer and plays no defense traded for a guy who scores a few goals and plays very good defense. Theres no net gain, he will score more goals and we will give up more goals.. the infamous giveth and taketh away.

Vancouver is making a trade. Don’t believe me idc lol it’s literally everywhere. Rutherford makes trades all the time. Bold ones as a matter of fact

You all just CONSTANTLY find the negative with every single player out there. Whether it’s a chart, whether it’s your own opinion. News flash. No one is perfect. Kakko can’t score in a soccer net. Kuz had almost 40 last year with 1RW ice time. He’s not getting it there, you know where he’ll get…here, in NYC

Last year we lost in 7 games, after up 2-0. Everything was great and we’re going all the way. Then what happen?? WE COULDNT SCORE A (frank)ING GOAL!! We lost 2–1 in OT and it sent us reeling. That team was BETTER than this one and it still lost. What makes you think they’re good enough this year? We have defenseman playing 10 minutes a night, and others playing 25. We’re a mess if you truly look at it. I’m not willing to punt the season, and I sure hope Drury isn’t either.

You won’t trade Schneider. You won’t trade Kakko. You won’t trade firsts. I ask how the hell are we supposed to get anyone worth a damn??? I’m not trading othamnn because who’s scoring when Panarin leaves? Or is too old

I need a ban. Someone please ban me. I can’t fight this battle anymore
