How bad have Zibanejad and Trocheck been to start the year?

I am as concerned about Laviolette who has three and a half years left. That appears to be his shelf life. 2.5 if you count his last season's are  usually a crater and the reason he's left previous teams. My point is, that's about the shelf life of Kreider, Trouba, Panarin, Trochek, Lindgren and Zib. So Laviolette's going to be the guy if the Rangers can get to and win a Cup final.  But he's showing warts. Most noticeable not rewarding players. Lafreniere in particular is playing better than the entire Kreider, Zib, Smith trio. He should be on the powerplay end of story. Take youe pick, Trochek or Zib off. All season Chytill's line keeps kicking out the best numbers and plays less than the supposed top two lines even though outplaying any line Zib is on. 

Miller has been lost in space all season but getting bumped back up with Fox is his reward, Trouba and Lindgren who have both struggled back together again.  Schneider and Jones getting short shifted even  though playing well. At least better than Lindgren and Trouba. Schneider is a top four dman on this team and Laviolette better wake up to that and wake up to how well Lafreniere and the Chytills line is playing.

And if Lindgren and Zib are hurt sit them because they are hurting the team.
