September: solid preseason the playoffs are the only expectation. October - November: multiple extended losing streaks with some humorous quirk that makes them headline news around the league resulting in a giant crisis of confidence and rampant excuses December: claw back to .500 so the team thinks it has a chance January - February: float well below the playoff bar but not so far that morons can convince themselves "they're just four games out!" Trade Deadline: now is not the time to address our cap issues the best trades are at the draft March - April: 15-3-2 run still miss the playoffs May: drop down one spot in the draft lottery Draft: Pick 10th. Now is not the time to address our cap issues the best trades are at the start of free agency Free agency: Series of instantly regrettable big ticket signings. Disappointed in the season but this was always a year about growth. Now is now the time to address our cap issues the best trades are at the start of training camp. July - August: massive pr campaign about how the team doesn't have any excuses this year Training camp: as you can see by our play the end of last season the team has learned to play the right way anything less than the playoffs would be a disappointment. Now is not the time to address our cap issues the best trades are at the trade deadline

Dude was a Calder finalist, got flipped for what felt like a very cheap price (a 3rd or a 4th, I think), and then gave up one of the worst goals of all time while also not looking good in general.

Almost like goal tending is often highly connected to the defending in front of it. I don't only mean the D players either as they have some good players there too, but Carolina controls the puck for larger portions of the game and Detroit is a lot easier to break down. Nedeljkovic is probably an okay goalie (and Grubauer is probably an okay goalie), but the defense in front really does impact things a lot. It makes me think of Kuemper moving from Colorado too. They knew they could replace him with another decent goalie, because the style they play doesn't need world beating goal saving. But teams not dialed in defensively need that guy who's going to make the highlight saves 6 times a week to make the wins. Can't always outscore your problems.

Levitate posted:Yeah I think it’s part of how coaches have a shelf life. Eventually they get too far into trees sticking with “their guys” and not being objective enough about it and not realizing they’re sacrificing their teams record to be “loyal” to a few players Yeah I don't think Sullivan is a bad coach but he's showing loyalty to bad players this year and it might cost the Pens a playoff spot. I get that Hextall has limited Sullivan a bit with the roster as well but there's still options. He doesn't *have* to put Jeff Carter and Brian Dumoulin into high profile situations all the time. There ways to limit the damage they're doing, but Sullivan isn't going that route. He's doubling (tripling) down on them.

And not merely play them but play them big minutes and the toughest shifts. Part of a good GMs job is to remove these lovely team killing players away from his coach. Which Hextall clearly hasn't done....and has helped by resigning and acquiring others in that mold. It's great.

A lot of goals are just randomly going in for him at the moment driven primarily by Petey playing out of his socks well. Kuzmenko is probably a 25 goal a year guy moving forward, but that's still a great deal at $5.5m. He's got excellent hands, is pretty quick and scores all his goals from just outside the crease. It's not like he's a sniper goalies don't have a read on yet. Most of his goals are tap-ins in front.

I imagine most teams opposition scouting of the Canucks this year involved laughing at whatever dumb thing was on the news cycle for that week and then noting 40,43 pretty good and that’s about it. Once players have seen him/ video coaches have done more tape on him he’s going to no longer get so much open ice so close to the net. Of course if he does draw heaps of attention that isn’t a bad thing, might mean Petey gets a bit of space back for himself.

Which Hextall clearly hasn't done....and has helped by resigning and acquiring others in that mold. It's great. You can stick to your belief that Hextall is totally in charge and Sullivan has to accept whatever players Hextall gives him, if you want, but it's going to leave you sorely disappointed when Hextall is fired this summer and nothing changes. I mean the simple fact that the GM is going to be fired and the coach is not is the proof in the pudding that the coach is the one with the power here. The very standard thing after a sorely disappointing season from a team whose ownership expects to contend is that either the coach is fired and the GM hires a new one, or they're both fired, or once in a great while the GM is fired first then the new GM fires the coach to bring in his own guy. If none of that is the case then the coach is the guy running the organization, and the new "GM" will effectively report to him, not the other way around.
