Season report card 1/3

[kreidertime]

Panarin A+ Couldn't ask for anything more
Zibanejad A- Would be higher if he didn't get hurt. Has become a great player.
Stome B+ Pretty good. Didn't expect this much.
Kreider C-Playing himself into a trade if they don't trade Buchshitvich
Buchnevich D After a great start he shows again why I hate him. He's a moron
Lemieux B A little more discipline and consistency. Adds something the team needs
Fast B Good role player. Probably trade bait.
Chytil B+ Showing a lot now. Even I'm souring on Andersson now as he isn't not doing much after 11 games for Pack.
Kakko B- He needs to get stronger. When he tries to hang onto the puck he gets knocked down. When he gets stronger he will be Jagr like ragging the puck.
Howden F Has not improved
Smith F He still sucks

Fox A+ Could not ask for more
Trouba B He's been solid.
Skjei B Overcame his usual crap start. Solid now
Lindgren B- He's making a few mistakes but overall, good debut
Hajek B- Doing OK. Nothing too bad
DeAngelo B- Great offense. Defense wise still needs improvement. He does what he does well.
Staal C Actually starting to play better. Hopefully, Gorton will be able to trade him.

Georgiev A- Hope they keep him with Shesterkin
Hank B+ Still pretty good for a guy his age.

Overall, they are over .500 with 3 rookies on defense. Not too shabby. Is Quinn the guy? Not sold. Gorton will make a monster deal somewhere here. I still say he will go after Cozens. Buchnevich is now a guy I absolutely see them moving in a package deal.

Smith has been decent for asking him to be a 4th line forward. Works hard and has limited the penalties for the most part. I say C for him. Same for Skjei as though he's improved in the last month he still does boneheaded things like take a penalty with 3 min left yesterday. Trouba has been good but i honestly thought he would be better defensively. He turns the puck over quite a bit with careless passes in the d-zone. He and Skjei both have another level they can get to.
