Zibanejad's contract was always a contract designed to be bought out. I honestly don't think anyone involved thought he'd be a $8.5 million player when he was 35 or 36, but I'm pretty sure the team hoped he'd be one past his 31st birthday. I think the trick with him is figuring out how much of his current form is due to him slowing down with age and how much is due to him shutting down mentally because he hates paying for Lavi. Having watched a few Rangers games where he coasts around 90% but throws it into gear with the game on the line, I personally suspect it's more of the latter than the former.

And look, it's worth remembering that the Rangers aren't DOA like the Preds or the Sabres. They're 3 points out of the last wildcard and the teams between them and the playoffs are mostly dreck. Heck, Ottawa's in 8th and they're dreck. And the Jerks are still hard to score against when they play hard. If they can find their work ethic and their transition game, they could be back in the good books so fast it'd make heads spin.

He's been slowing down his 5v5 production for a while now, this year is not an anomaly, it's a progression if memory serves.

The Canes won’t have to deal with Rempe tomorrow. He has an in-person hearing with Player Saftey for yet another game misconduct, this one for elbowing and boarding Miro Heiskanen.

Played a handful of games in his short illustrious career and already has been called to the principals office at least 3-4 times…

There's no place in hockey for flagrant attempts to injure like that. 10 games would be fine. And never being called up again would be even better.

22 regular season games, 95 PIM. But he was a good boy in the playoffs, only 10 PIM in 11 games. He’s only been suspended once, 4 games in March for elbowing Jonas Siegenthaler. But yesterday was his 4th game misconduct.
 
Larry Brooks has his panties in a twist. Is DOPS a joke? Far too often, yes they are. Is this selective prosecution? No. The guy is unskilled, probably best suited to a B level adult league. The Rangers fans in the replies brought up Tom Wilson smashing Panarin’s head into the ice, which he wasn’t suspended for. And that points to the inconsistency of discipline enforcement. Does it justify reducing Rempe’s suspension? Of course not, it merely points out how infrequently George Parros gets things even close to correct.

And then the Rangers fans bring up Aho’s “knee on knee” hit on Adam Fox. 🤣

Someone firmly ensconced in the NHL Good Ol' Boy Network thinks that Rempe's hit was A-OK, just dandy fine, a fine hockey play? My shocked face is thus :|
 
Larry Brooks ... never afraid to take a ridiculous position and turn it into a hill upon which to die.

Rempe is a terrible player whether you include the dirty hits as a positive or not. Supposedly he was sent down to Hartford to play in all situations and learn how to round out his game, only to come back and pull THAT crap in his first game back with the big club. It's childish, selfish behavior and it hurts the team. Period.
 
Red Wings fired head coach Derek Lalonde and assistant coach Bob Boughner. Todd McClellan takes over on a full time basis and Trent Yawney as an assistant. The Wings are 7th in the Atlantic with 30 points in 34 games, 2 points better than Buffalo.

The Yzerplan is working perfectly. Since he was hired in April 2019, the Red Wings have a .445 points percentage, 5th worst among teams that have competed in every season since 2019-20. That’s even .001 worse than Arizona.
