Nico Heisher always plays on the first line (at least for now ) has been a point per game player recently very good both ways and was a selkie finalist last year. How is Vincent Trocheck a higher tier? Should be the same if anything.
I completely agree with your original placing of Vincent Trocheck and how he should/can be a top line center. The only reasons I don't think he is at the moment is because Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad are both first liners, and work very well with each other on the same line. Also, the Rangers' current 2nd line is incredibly strong with Panarin, Trocheck, and Lafrenière, and Laviolette putting them together like that was such a good move. Especially since Panarin and Trocheck really helped Lafrenière turn into the first overall pick he is. Obviously he's not at the same level as Leon Draisaitl and J.T. Miller, however if it weren't for the way Laviolette has the Rangers' top six set up and on many other teams throughout the NHL, I can easily see Vincent Trocheck being a top line center.
You'd really take Tavares as your 2C over Bennett? In the playoffs? When the going gets tough and stakes are high? No way, man, not me. Tavares haa disappointed in wvery recent playoff appearance by the Leafs.
Bruh, Schenn has lost it as a C. He's been horrible defensively for two seasons and his offense has dropped off. He's better suited back on the wing. The problem is, until Dvorsky is ready, they don't have a worthy 2C. It could be Buchnevich to start the season, which is far from ideal.
Isles lack of playoff success? They are a couple years removed from b2b ecf, only team to take tampa 7 games in 20-21... brock is so solid... most under rated wrister in the league... isles fall victim to being forgotten about as the "other" ny hockey team... last 5 years whose had more playoff success NYI or NYR?
Wasnt around for the 80s so unsure who would’ve been 2nd liners there, but Malkin is better than him. I think Draisaitl will pass Malkin eventually though.
Ok, I agree but Heisheir is an 80 point guy when healthy and was a Selkie finalist last year. I don't understand how Trocheck is better if not the same.
