another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Per his media availability yesterday, Mark Recchi was going to do work for NHL Network and local TV in Pittsburgh as well as a "corporate" job with the Pens had he not signed with CBJ as an assistant.

Always worth gambling on a cheap depth fast guy that creates a lot of breakaways (that he fires into the goalies chest) like Paul Byron etc but all his coaches hate him because he leaps the zone early/borderline cherry picks to get these opportunites.

6’4 224 with that speed, he could have been a deadly power forward if he was physical at all

Sutter is on a PTO. Probably like 50/50 he signs but they don't really have a 4th line centre so

Edit: The Oilers also don't necessarily need a 4th line centre but I'd imagine if they sign Sutter it'll be on a 2 year deal so they can hopefully get him through waivers since to get him on the team means either losing Lavoie or sending Holloway down.

he has a sick rear end shot and draws a ton of penalties because he’s huge and fast and goes down easily. he would be a useful 4th line guy for a team with a great power play because he’ll score a few individual effort goals, draw a lot of penalties, but otherwise not be very great at the rest of it. he’s like an extremely poor man’s Michael Grabner that’s 6’6”.

considering the Isles clocked in at about a 15% power play last year and he plays super far away from what a Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck style fourth line is…I’m guessing he won’t be a fan favorite. you definitely shouldn’t play all three of those guys and try Gauthier on the third line unless he’s taken a big step up randomly.

the THRILL
Mathieu Joseph actually looks good again. If Pierre has to give up a first rounder to get rid of him because of his cap mismanagement I’ll be ticked off. The reason they don’t have cap space is the pointless Bobby Ryan and Del Zotto buyouts and the retention on the awful Matt Murray contract.

That being said, the holdup on Pinto is really weird. The team has no cap space. Pinto has absolutely no leverage - he can sign for whatever they can pay him, or he can sit out the year. Not sure Pierre should be rushed into making a dumb trade just to sign Pinto when they could just replace him with Ridly Greig on an ELC. The Sens top 9 is as deep as it’s been since the Mike Fisher days, and I’m not too pleased that the depth will have to get broken up just to get Pinto in as the 3C.

Also, gonna be swell to see the team icing Bailey and Zack McEwan instead of the guys who’ve proven that they have NHL talent, in particular Sokolov and Smejkal.

lightning 2020 3rd round pick (#85 OA) Maxim Groshev scored a bad rear end PP breakaway goal against the preds saros and their starting NHL defense, which is good. and looked good in the rookie showcase, which is also good. but its just preseason and he will probably be sent to the AHL with logan brown starting, which is bad.

“For most teams, it’s not difficult to find strengths and weaknesses up and down a team’s roster. For the Winnipeg Jets, it’s a lot trickier: it’s basically Connor Hellebuyck and then a whole bunch of “middles.”

Top of the lineup? Meh. Middle of the lineup? Meh. Bottom of the lineup? Meh. Forwards? Meh. Defensemen? Meh. Offense? Meh. Defense? Meh.”

Benson rules but yes there is no need to rush him into an already loaded lineup. Preseason really means almost nothing, especially in the early games where there are minimal regulars in lineups and there's low physicality.

The issue with Benson is that he’s too good to go back to the WHL, can’t play in the AHL and is a small fry who will get murdered in the NHL. He’s in the same position Shane Wright was last season iirc where they’ll have to just hold him in Limbo most of the season. But like, he’s really good.

Also he played well with Tage and Skinny but lol at removing the only defensively-responsible forward off that line and replacing him with a tiny rookie. He’s got a bright future and the org needs to make sure that they’re set for this year and beyond. Tbh it’s a good thing that nobody knows what the opening night roster will look like on offense since the team is so stacked.

how they can give Danault only +1 on defensive stuff is beyond me. Guy is a shutdown machine and has been in the top 10 selke votes like 4 times in a row recently, though I guess he got fewer votes since being in LA.

E: checked back and Shane Wright was +2 there?

There is no such thing as too good for junior, especially for an 18 year old. Just send him back. He's shown well, now let him put up 125pts with Wenatchee.

I like how a guy like Trevor Lewis, who I have no problem believing is bad now, is apparently such a black hole on offense that he's singlehandedly canceling out all of the positive contributions of any individual skater save Fiala.

A bit of a bigger hit than you'd expect in preseason, but a kid playing for a spot and a vet who just won a Cup on a team that's less likable than they were a few years ago getting pissy.
