Why the Rangers’ immediate future may hinge on where Mike Sullivan plays Mika Zibanejad
NY Post
To play at center, or not to play at center?
That’s the question that could define Mika Zibanejad’s remaining time with the Rangers.
It is also one of the most important aspects of the roster new head coach Mike Sullivan will have to address at the start of training camp in mid-September. The entire lineup depends on where Zibanejad slots, whether it’s on the right wing or somewhere in the middle of the top nine.
Larry Stempler, Joseph Kubu, David Parmele and William Gilbert want to know where Zibanejad is better suited, as well as how vital it’ll be for the 32-year-old Swede to rewrite the narrative of last season. Tom Arnold wants to know if it’s possible Zibanejad could still be traded, to which I direct you to the words of his wife, Irma Zibanejad, for the most reliable answer.

The Knicks won’t be raising a banner to the rafters at Madison Square Garden to commemorate their victory in the 2025 NBA Cup, and you can count your humble narrator among the faction that wishes they’d chosen differently. I’m not quite sure when it became mandatory to rinse as much fun out of sports as possible, but we’re sure trying.
