Have to think it's a make or break camp for PoJ too. No Riikola means a bit more space for a lefty and a bit further up the depth chart. Of course all of this could swiftly change with Letang, UFA, and tra.....yeah not that one. Moving one of Petts or Dumoulin would be a nice way to clear up cap and give POJ/Friedman a chance to solidify their roles. Dunno if Hextall will manage it though.

Krime posted:What the hell wrong did POJ do? I figured he'd be a full timer this year. Yeah it seems clear enough by now that Sullivan's decided he doesn't want POJ on the ice for whatever reason. Could be a good reason for it I dunno. Sullivan's always been weird about defensemen and it always makes me think he might not quite actually understand why his system works so well. He seems to deliberately seek out defensemen that are the exact opposite of what works best in the system he wants his team to play and bury the ones best suited to it, except Letang because Letang was an established star long before Sully got there. And of course the team seems to have decided to let Letang walk. I've been worried about them signing Tony D to a huge contract but I should probably be more worried about them signing Ben Chariot to a huge contract. This is a team that thought a megacontract for JMFJ was a good idea, then when that turned out to be a catastrophe (who could have seen that coming??) thought trading Hornqvist for the privilege of assuming Matheson's giant eternal contract was a good idea. It might be time to admit this team wouldn't recognize a good modern defenseman if one bit them on the nose. They won the second Cup with a truly awful D corps through a combination of luck and their forwards being just that awesome, and it may have given Sullivan a very wrongheaded idea of what kind of D corps you can realistically expect to win the Cup with.

POJ didn't have a great camp from what I remember. Looked a bit pedestrian. I think that coupled with the logjam the Pens had at d basically cost him a spot. If Hextall forces a spot in the 7 d open for him I'm sure he'll play. But I'm not sure how easy it will be to move Dumo or Petts.

Krime posted:What the hell wrong did POJ do? I figured he'd be a full timer this year. Oh that's easy an easy one - he got abused in his very short time up with the big team. 2 goals for 3 against at 5s and 5 against in all situations with no more goals for to show and very limited ice time. Also a victim of entirely too many LDs. That said it doesn't explain Friedman over Riikola 'cause all situations Friedman gave up more than he got and that remains true at 5v5. Unfortunately for the playoffs it was Letang/Matheson that were the only under 50% GF pairing at 5s. All situations it's Letang, Rudwedel, and Marino. That said I thought the D was mostly fine. Zucker's woeful time with the Pens continued...Blueger was 25% GF...Carter 38%. Moving to 5v5 and jfc Carter to absolutely worked. 3 goals for 9 against. Which speaking of old men getting contracts when they're well passed it. That one is bad.

Realistically yes that's true, but Sidney Crosby is still there and if he wants you to sign vets and keep fighting for a low playoff spot then by god you sign vets and keep fighting for a low playoff spot. The team will keep printing money as long as he's there. No reason to force a tank imo (and you can't tank with Crosby on the team anyway, he will keep you out of the bottom 5 by himself). It also would look quite a bit different if they'd wiped the Rangers in 5 and then taken the Canes to 6, which is in fact what would have happened but for the assault on Crosby.

Management is 100% ride and die with the core that is there. If Malkin and/or Letang walk it doesn't much matter and either Hextall is going to hand out some very 'exciting' contracts in an attempt to salvage/retool on the fly or it's into the tank. If the directive is to 'retool' and take another shot with this core.... unless you're rolling out all the money you're going to be rummaging around in the bin a bunch. Edit: ^^ DeSmith tearing a core muscle 80% through game 1 also a gigantic *

Sullivan is the second longest tenured coach in the league now, after Cooper. Going into his 7th full season as Pens coach. Gods it doesn't feel that long. Realizing Sidney Crosby is old is enough to throw anyone into an existential crisis.

I mean, he was 19-12-5 with a 2.60 and .911 that regular season and was named to the All-Star Game before he broke himself in a shootout New Year's Eve because this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQDAwxFWJwg ...so it's not like he was garbage that season. Goalies get hot and the difference between beating Toronto in 4 or 5 was they pissed away a three-goal lead in the last 5 of regulation of Game 4 and lost in OT. I know OTLs don't mean anything in the playoffs but, using that metric as an illustration, the CBJ went 1-2-2 against Tampa, so they played them close before being eliminated. The alternative would've been to roll with Elvis, who had better RS numbers (after losing his first 9 games) and similar playoff numbers.

With Tom Wilson out until potentially next January, Backstrom probably missing a ton of time rehabbing his hip, and Eller’s game dropping off, the Capitals have the potential to be kind of bad next year. Their center depth is Kuznetsov and McMichael, their goaltenders will probably be upgraded but who know if that upgrade will be any good, and they don’t really have any impactful call ups that can really fill these voids. If New Jersey gets a goalie I wouldn’t be surprised if Washington struggles to make the playoffs next year.

On paper they could easily flip that 7 pick to get the coveted “Top-6 Forward or Top-4 D” that every single GM is looking for every summer. The team desperately needs a winger for Tim Stützle and as much as I like Connor Brown and Alex Formenton, they ain’t it. Unfortunately it’s Pierre Dorion who will be trading the pick, which is horrifying to think about given his track record of getting fleeced by the Bennings of the league

His fancy metrics were very very good in the very limited time he played. From what I recall without digging through highlights, for now, was PoJ was out muscled/very easily out positioned/beaten to spots that lead to immediate goals against. Otherwise I recall his play in transition and the offensive zone were great.

Russo in the Athletic discussed some comps today quote:Last offseason provided arguably the closest comparables you’ll find for Fiala as three RFA wingers in their mid-20s were dealt (although Fiala’s arguably better than all of them). Conor Garland moved as part of Arizona and Vancouver’s blockbuster deal. The Canucks dealt the No. 9 pick as part of the trade, which presumably would have been for Garland’s services (Oliver Ekman-Larsson wouldn’t have had much trade value in that deal, considering his mammoth long-term contract). That might have been a slight overpay, though, as Garland probably wouldn’t fetch a top-10 pick if he were put back on the market today. Also, some destinations quote:Ottawa Senators: Senators GM Pierre Dorion is under lots of pressure to turn the Senators into a playoff team after five straight misses. Ottawa found a steady and productive top-line combination last season with Brady Tkachuk, Josh Norris and Drake Batherson — all three young guns posted career-high point totals. Behind them, however, the Senators could use a dynamic running mate for the uber-talented Tim Stützle.

Paracaidas posted:I'm certain this played into their decision to hold Rossi down this year. They seem to be betting on Addison eventually forcing someone down to the bottom pair (or replacing Dumba, though I'd still be surprised if they move him), O'Rourke stepping up when this season's extensions end, and someone internally bumping Freddy off of the Boldy-Rossi line. If Wallstedt is the real deal, they could still be legitimate contenders---you're just relying on all of this season's progress being legitimate (Ek, Greenway, Hartman) and star-level performances from two kids who haven't done a thing yet. lovely odds but I still prefer it to the Parise-Suter era. I didn’t see Russo’s article on it yet, but it’s all a reasonable bunch of directions for Fiala. I’d expect Ek to continue to perform. He’s been trending up to this year, but I wouldn’t expect a lot more than what he did. Greenway could use a few more goals, but he creates a lot of turnovers and I wish I knew the fancy stats better to see how this was stated. That line was so very good defensively through the season. I’d only expect Hartman to do maybe as well as this year as long as he’s still playing on that top line. I too prefer it to Parise-Suter. The big question is going to be if the next guys up can take that step. There’s not going to be anything big in free agency, and unless they can get something useful on a smaller contract for Fiala, that line is a big question mark for me. Getting that secondary scoring is where the struggle is going to be, and fixing the special teams is going to be a struggle.

Does anyone know where I can find precise measurements for NHL rinks under prior rules? A rulebook would do as well -- the diagrams in there are perfect, but I couldn't find any old ones either. I'm becoming obsessed with adding accurate historical stuff to Scoreboard Watching. I was able to figure out the pre-2005 rink, without the trapezoid, but I'd be interested in making the crease changes accurate. Also, apparently there just wasn't a centre red line at all until 1943? Hard to imagine that.
