Long live the King Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Only if you think they couldnt have 2 successful PP units. And having 2 units means you can come back with the Panarin or Zibanejad line when the PP expires, instead of a make-shift line of Rooney, Kakko and Jim Ramsay. So should Edmonton breakup McDavid and Draisaitl on the PP to make 2 units? Washington breakup Ovechkin and Oshie? Tampa break up Point and Stamkos? Toronto break up Matthews and Marner?

josh Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 That has nothing to do with how Panarin and Zibanejad play together on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, so they are 15th and 16th in the league in PP points over the last 2 years and Zib is 2 pp goals behind the league leaders. Break them up because Josh has been in a locker room and he says so. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've listed nothing that shows Zibanejad-Panarin are the reason the PP is successful.. while mentioning Kreider should be removed from the PP units, who is 6th in the in PP goals during the last 2 seasons, I can't find screen/tip stats, but we know he's one of the best in the league, and he ranks 3rd in the league in FinisherShooter Stats for CSA. And I've been suggesting they'd have a chance to be more effective on the PP (And at ES) when spread out over 2 units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I don't hate Kreider. He's already been bumped to the 3rd line, and Laf is only going to get better. I'd rather have Kakko down low on PP1. On PP2 Its Krav-Laf-Lundkvist-Jones all day. Only open spot is the down low net front guy. Unit needs a center, so it's Chytil. It's not at all hate. Buch played 1:09 on the PK all last season. Now he's our top PKer AND having his best offensive season. He was asked to take on a new role and is thriving in it, but asking Kreider to adapt to a new role is hate? Why? If their role is the same (net front guy) why do we need a center? Chytil's not even better at faceoffs, so I dont really see a need to have him there over Kreids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 1A Kreider Zibanejad - Chytil - Buchnevich Fox 1Aa: Kakko Panarin - Strome - Lafreniere Miller I've also suggested moving Fox away from Panarin. He defers everything to Panarin. I think Fox could be more effective away from Panarin. it seems Strome does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chytil's not even better at faceoffs, so I dont really see a need to have him there over Kreids. Over the last 3 years... Kreider Total: 270 faceoffs (not a lot) - 40.7% OZ: 174 - 34.5% Chytil Total: 941 faceoffs 39.1% OZ: 310 - 45.5% You'd also expect if to be something Chytil continues to work on. See Kevin Hayes going from 36% to 45.7% to 50.5% in a three year span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I know Chris Drury is busy learning GM stuff but could he spare some time to give Chytil and Strome some faceoff lessons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
