no kidding. that's the issue with him.. the lack of assertiveness.
- MartysBetter88


It will come with confidence. I don't know if that means a stint in the AHL, or just patience, but he's a young kid that will hopefully start climbing to his potential.

I’m happy with Hischier, it’s impossible to not be, but Nolan Patrick is going to be a very good player as well.

I prefer Hischier's speed and hockey IQ. Patrick is probably a better goal scorer and has great size and physicality to his game. But he is also made of glass, and has recorded many injuries that are often recurring (concussion, shoulder, knee). I hope he has a long career, but with so many serious injuries at this point in his career, many question marks.

Tom gulitti talked to henrique and henrique said he had been asked by many fans about signing with NJ after next season, said too far away to think about it, but Shero said he likes to bring players back[/img]

Think I’d prefer to keep Hall-Hischier-Bratt together and see if maybe putting Palmieri on Zajacs wing jump starts Zajacs game.

I'd like to see Bratt playing with Zacha. Maybe the two can get each other going a bit. But it seems Zacha will be buried forever so who cares.

I just don't know where he'd fit. I guess it all rides on if we still have Zajac, if Zacha and/or McLeod have established themselves. Boyle is a UFA the same year as Henrique, so we'll see how Boyle's game is at that point. If he still brings what we've seen so far, yes, keep him. Johansson will be a RFA. Gotta bring back Coleman, Gibbons and Wood right? Wood, Coleman, Noesen, and Santini are RFAs after this year.

Hall-Hischier-Bratt
Zacha-McLeod-Palmieri
Coleman-Zajac-Gibbons (checking line, right? lol)
Wood-Boyle-Noesen

Then you still have Speers and Quenneville. That Zajac contract is 2 years too long.

My bad, thought we were just spitballing for fun. I was just posting what I’d like to see.

I wouldn’t hold out that much hope for Boyle’s play. Between his age and illness (callous but true) I can’t see him keeping it up.
