Coach of Good Vibes that just gives motivational speaches and personal pep talks. Like not just to get him off the cap, but from how everyone talks about him, he could actually be good at it too. The cap part would be a bonus.

By the way Toronto fans talk about Marner, you wouldn't think he's currently having his sixth straight PPG season, and was a Selke finalist last season (with other great defensive years prior, too). In the offseason, I thought they should have traded him just to shake things up, but this Toronto team seems incredibly committed to running it back again and again and again.

With all the smoke about Chychrun being traded he would be the 3rd player that Dorion gave up a high 1st rounder+ for that played for the Sens for a season and then hosed off Those first rounders could have been Bowen Byram, Kevin Korchinski and Zach Benson lol How the hell was he GM for almost 8 years

Chychrun is the player the Pens org mistakenly thought Graves could be and if they're selling everything not nailed down to compete well lfg. Also dump Graves in Ott while you're at it.

Ryan Graves was a direct slot-in replacement for Dumoulin the only problem is they wanted a replacement for younger Dumoulin but they got a current-age equivalent

Simplex posted:If you thought Graves was anything at all like Chychrun that's all on you, and you set yourself up for failure. I don't and I think neither would the org. Graves is a Pen for the exact reason that Good Soldier Svejk says. Unfortunately, he has neither the speed of thought nor the athleticism/foot speed to function in Sullivan's system. John Marino is a great example of a player with the speed of thought, but not the foot speed...although his 'burst' was decent enough to make a man miss and then good pass to exit the zone. Matheson is an example in the opposite. Very little brain, but incredible athletic ability to make up for it. Trevor Daley somehow molded both together perfectly. Chychrun, in my estimation, is an excellent type defenseman that will give incredible outcomes in Sullivan's system. Of course it's extremely unlikely to happen so  nice to dreamEdit: vvv I hate Ron Hextall so loving much rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jan 18, 2024 |

I can't think of another player who has played as great for a team, like Marner has, and has been so disliked by his team's fanbase.

Graves also seems incredibly dumb as a hockey player so perhaps it will take him time to adjust. That's the glass half full take anyhow. Chychrun would be great but even if Dubas wanted him there's no way he's got the cap space to make it happen unless they decide to trade Guentzel which I don't see them doing with a playoff spot on the line.

There are 39 PPG players with at least 20 games played this season, and 12 are at 1.25 PPG or better. Goals are fun.

This also seems (anecdotally) like a season with a high amount of goals. So if you were a 1.0 in a given year, you’re at 1.25 this year. I don’t know if that’s true, but it sure seems like it. All the goalie stats are down across the board, teams have apparently abandoned defense as a concept, poo poo is fully off the rails. Am I seeing things from a skewed perspective?

Leaguewide scoring isn't up at all over last year--in fact it's very slightly down. 258 goals scored per team last year, we're on pace for 253 per team this year. Overall scoring had been trending upward for about a decade before plateauing two years ago. It does subjectively feel like the best forwards look better and the worst defensemen look worse than they did 5 years ago or whatever, and that more of the scoring is being concentrated in the top lines, but I don't know if any fancystats back that up at all.

I don't watch the Devils all that much, maybe a game every week or so, but Holtz feels like one of those guys who gets traded because the coach doesn't like him or whatever and then turns into a really good player somewhere else. I'm not basing this on anything other than vibes, but it's what I believe.

I don’t think it’s that surprising, a very public spat with the front office leading to an overly rich contract and then not just underperforming but looking and sounding bad on and off the ice in chronic playoff exits. This market also doesn’t embrace small passers as a rule, if Marner could throw a check and dropped em once a year he’d be unimpeachable in this town e: for example, think about how Flames fans turned on Gaudreau, pretty similar imo
