The biggest problems on this team to me

Zibs contract
Troubas contract
5 v 5 play

Since you can’t get rid of zib, Troubas contract has to go so you can make the necessary moves to get better 5 v 5

- TPC


Yeah I think also I'd like to see a gameplay style change but I get that that is easier said than done. FL and CAR play a style where everyone can move the puck. We play that dump and chase style which I don't love given like you need a bit of a better forecheck for that and ours was good but not great.

Another bumhole. Was decent before he got to the Rangers. Sucked while he was here. Then leaves and is decent again.

Just a good 5/6 dman that can play heavier minutes if needed. Better than trouba at 75% the cost

I mean yeah, but I was talking about him here last year. Specifically in games 3-7 vs the devils, he stunk.

It might be a reflection on the Rangers system.

What are his charts like?

How is he on the right side? CF says he plays L and R.

Probably another winger that Mika will Sink.

The whole team sucked games 3-7 last year except Igor. I actually thought Mikkola was pretty good for us last year and was a proponent of keeping him

yeah last summer they were stuck with only being able to target 800k a year guys

I definitely would have rather have kept Mikkola over Gustafsson

You're probably not wrong. I was thinking culture more than systems.

He's very much a chart darling, but not a playoff player. We'd dislike him.

I wouldn't even engage him Brukie, let him vent and spew. We keep pushing the truth.

Yep I knew they couldn't keep him, just disagree with Tom that he was good before and after the rangers but stunk with us. I thought he was good in his role here

Jeff Skinner will be bought out by BUF.

- Very efficient goal-scorer
- Strong chance creator, especially off rush
- Inconsistent playmaker
- Not much of a puck carrier
- Agile but not fast skater
- Uninvolved defensively and on the forecheck with little physicality

Rangers need more of play maker and puck carrier for that 1st line that can also shoot.
