More banking on his improvement. Apparently he switched his training up a bit and supposedly it's like "night and day"

Thanks. Sounds good

You’re the First Star of the thread with that one!

I would swap Chytil and Anderson, put Vlad at 3rd line LW, and Strome in for Fast. Fast was fucking horrible last year and can't stay healthy. Vlad is a good Swiss army knife and we need to get his trade value up. Chytil has waaaaaaaay more offensive upside than Lias.

Cup or bust :P

take on Fast. Strome? Your trolling the BBI Rangers faithful right?

Of note Buch on the 1st line. Chytil gets first crack at C2. Interesting take on his high skill players needing to be 'hard enough' to let their talent flourish. I really believe the Rangers made the right hire with this guy.

Fast has missed a bunch of games, a minimum of 10 per year, the past 3 seasons. He only has 9 goals a season. The PK has been shit. -13 past two years and - on his career. He brings nothing except "hussle" and "grit".

Fast is a decent bottom 6 forward, no one to get worked up about either way.

For the record our PK unit stunk last year, was middle of the pack in 2017-2018, and top-3 in 2016-2017. Hank and our D were the ones most directly responsible for both the highs and the lows of the unit.

As far as Lias Anderson goes, he has thus far done nothing in his career to show that he is an NHL caliber player, let alone a top 6 forward. And while Chytil has shown potential, he hasn't shown that he can handle playing the pivot yet.

For me the most interesting part of this training camp is whether Kravstov or Kakko wind up at center. Neither is probably ready for it from day 1, but moving one of them there could help clear our logjam at wing. Of course, trading a certain left winger could do that as well.

Panarin, Zib, Buch
Kreider, Chytil, Kakko
Names, Strome, Kravstov
Fast, Andersson, Lemieux

Is gettig the shot as Chytil and Andersson to be the 2nd line center, and there is no chance he isn't one of our centers, none at all.

Is a left wing not right. Staal is second pairing left defenseman with Fox on his right. DeAngelo 3rd with Hajek or Rykov or Lindgren, although DeAngelo is quickly getting himself in the shateu bow wow. There is no chance to see 2 inexperienced defensemen playing together.
