Bye Travis We'll always have that moment at the islander prospect game, where me and my now ex sat behind the glass where the isles left the ice. After it wrapped up Hamonic spotted my ex while she was on her phone, eyed her up and down while making a weird Travis Hamonic face, then saw me and gave a thumbs up. That's my Travis Hamonic moment

Hamonic is in this weird place where advanced stats don't really like him (see that chart posted earlier among many other things) but I do think he out plays those stats some. Nevertheless he's coming off his worst season so I think value wise the return isn't bad. I'm not gonna fully judge this trade until I see what garth does with the picks, as I feel like he's gonna try and flip them for duchene or another 2c. If it's just this move and nothing else then it's pretty mediocre since the whole point of this off-season is to go big to convince Tavares to re-sign. Hamonic is still pretty young and on a good contract so I think Calgary will like him

Lehtera has to be getting flipped. Hexy protecting Laughton and shipping out some of Hakstol's lovely toys only to bring in an overpaid 4th line grinder makes no sense. Giroux-Patrick-Couterier-Flip-Lehtera-Laughton can all play center. Its a logjam at forward

THE MACHO MAN posted:I love the advanced stuff, but the charts without context and explanation are kinda useless. I think this means Stepan wasn't good but I am not sure. The chart is a visual representation of the different components to how Goals Above Replacement is calculated, since it's a catch-all stat. So Stepan created positive value via EV/PP offence and takeaways to the tune of ~10 goals above replacement, but is negative a goal or two because he's bad at faceoffs. According to that chart he's a positive player.

His teams have usually been defensively responsible. Honestly if he has the balls to shove Staal on the third pair and give him less than 15 mins a game I don't give a poo poo about his past. Beuk wasn't great.

Jim Benning hasn't done anything egregiously stupid lately. On the other hand, Dorion: Could have traded Methot prior to the expansion draft but decided not to and lose him for no return. Chiarelli: Traded Eberle to make cap space to sign Kris Russell to a 4x4 deal Rutherford: Traded Sundqvist and a 1st round pick to St. Louis for Ryan Reaves and a 2nd round pick Holland: Went way off the board for a pick, left Mrazek exposed in the expansion draft and Red Wings beat writers wrote hit pieces on him. Of course, Mrazek wasn't actually picked so that relationship was poisoned for basically no reason. So yeah, some pretty strong candidates out there right now.

Yeah Beuk is getting blamed for Smith and Skjei getting "lost" on the bench after being the best pairing in the playoffs. Fell back on the vets heavily, Rangers said they wanted more experience. Wonder if it's meant to push AV at all as well

grack posted:Ooh, strong write-in candidate. You can throw Joe Sakic (even though he's not done anything recently, Avs are still bad), George McPhee (bad picks during the expansion draft, like Sbisa and Emelin) and Dale Tallon (gave away Marchessault and Reilly Smith for nothing) in there as well.
