Conor Timmins - 4GP, 4A, +2, 62.1% xGF%, 75% GF%. This is despite falling on his rear end at least twice every game. Rasmus Sandin - 30GP, 13P, +10, 57% xGF%, 67.7% GF%. Will these trends continue? I doubt it, but hey, it's nice to see the stalwart defensive dynamo Leafs carry on thanks to judicious dumpster diving. (Mete and Hollowell suck poo poo, but Benn was okay the 6 games he managed to play)

Eric the Mauve posted:I assume it basically means healthy scratch, i.e. still counts against the cap It's more than a scratch. It's like IR except no injury, where there's an actual reason to be away from the team but not health related. They get the roster spot opened up but no cap space. Usually for stuff like birth of a child or death in the family.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:People are discussing their hot takes on realignment ideas rn. Random, but it’s interesting to see people suggest there be fewer games per season. They're fun thought experiments, but the owners and probably even players won't be looking for fewer games in a season for the fact that if there are fewer games, then the cap doesn't go up and when it does it goes up slower. Four team divisions would lead to dumb geographical things like dumping the California teams + Arizona together and having a dumpster fire division. And then dumping Seattle into Canada-West. I don't see this leading to a better season/playoff experience either, because you're taking only 2 from every division and in years like this with a stronger Metro division, you'd be missing out on one of those teams that would make it via wild card right now.

Non-roster means they can call someone up to replace him, as opposed to being scratched where he still counts against the 23-player limit. eXXon posted:Conor Timmins - 4GP, 4A, +2, 62.1% xGF%, 75% GF%. This is despite falling on his rear end at least twice every game. They sure don’t look great on the ice, but Sandin has stopped hilariously whiffing on 1 stretch pass every game and Timmins looks serviceable although I’m still waiting for him to actually connect on a one-timer. They’ve played few enough games that it’s hard to separate their play from their opponents just not taking advantage and the big guys going on a heater, still. With any luck Timmins bumps Mete off the roster entirely, and if that’s all he does well then good trade imo

Hmm Josh Mahura has dressed for every game this year and is somehow +17 for the Panthers despite only playing around 15 minutes a night on average. Maybe the Ducks shouldn't have waived this 24 year old kid in order to fit Nathan Beaulieu into the lineup It's so frustrating watching the Ducks because I just know that a goon collective could do a better job of running that team.

I dunno. The Ducks are bad but they're bad on purpose. It's easy to forget that they're basically icing a NCAA roster, in terms of age (that's an exaggeration, but like half their lineup is real young). Zegras, McTavish, Drysdale, Terry, and Lundestrom already has the makings of a pretty good core, and Terry is the oldest at 24. They have some other decent prospects in the pipeline too like Olen Zellweger and Nate Gaucher. Then you figure they add one of Bedard, Michkov, Fantilli, or Carlsson this summer and I think they'll turn it around pretty quickly. They have the potential to be scary good in a few years.

Then they are going to have to replace almost their entire D corps with whatever cap space is left.

They have 13 million in space right now and Klingberg (7M) Shattenkirk (3.9M) will almost certainly be traded/not re-signed. Maybe Adam Henrique (5.825M) and Kulikov (2.25) too. They're still going to be bad, but having young players called up to fill roles won't be a problem for them. Like Olli Juolevi, remember that guy? Apparently he's in the Ducks system now. The cap won't be a problem. Zegras might get paid but Drysdale and Terry will get bridge deals I bet. They're still going to be bad for the next year or two, but it's not going to last forever with the talent they have in their system.

If you're a team giving up 4+ goals against per game, replacing your entire defense sounds good actually.

Before Atlanta moved to Winnipeg and they did the realignment, teams would play other teams in their division six times a year. They would play teams in the other divisions in their conference a bunch of times but would only play once against teams in the other conference, iirc. Then they changed it to at least a home & home with every team.

I want to see someone make a supercut of like 50 different shots from the same camera angle but different games cut together into one smooth shot going in. He has so many shot from the same place this ought to be possible.

Given the market for young defensemen who are worth a poo poo, you are absolutely going to have to give a 7-8 year deal to Drysdale. Yeah, but the Ducks have only $39.7 million under contract next season and Bettman said the salary cap should be around $83.5 million next season up from the current $82.5 million. The Ducks will get a chance to secure 3 guys for a long contract this summer. Bridge deals would absolutely be a mistake because the players debt from the covid-shortened seasons will be fully paid very early in the 2023-24 season and the salary cap will raise by something like $8 million for the 2024-25 season, long contract extensions this summer will become bargains 1 year on.

Pens are currently in their 'play statistically good hockey and accumulate wins and points doing it' part of their season. Depending on Malkin's injury/issue they are beginning to enter or have entered the 'injuries piling up' part. Rejoice it means much less Rex posting books on things. Despite an incredibly fortuitous hat trick Kapanen still stinks and Dumoulin is washed. Also Jeff Carter isn't really 3rd line center material anymore

Devils quickly slipping on the division lead and I don't really expect them to hold it much longer considering their very difficult stretch coming up. Just don't implode guys -- yesterday should have been a W if not for Hart in God mode so I'm hopeful they can stop the slump against Florida.

From 2005-06 to 2007-08 teams played 8 games against their 4 divisional opponents and did not play any games against one division from the opposite conference. It was pretty unpopular as it meant that fans in the West didn't get to see Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin early in their careers. Once it had cycled through the three years the league rolled it back to six divisional games with a home and away game against every team in the league. It did result in a three game mid season mini series between the Canucks and Oilers that was a bloodbath by the third game though, that was pretty cool.
