Twin Cinema posted:I remember reading a defense of the trade from some schmo on the internet, because according to this schmo, the Bruins wouldn't have won the Cup with Thornton. This trade freed them from his contract, and they were able to sign Chara the next offseason. They saved like 1.5 million per year, which even in 2006 terms was pretty meaningless. They had a fair chunk of cap space regardless and you imagine it would more likely result in them not signing Savard as opposed to Chara. And of course they could've just traded him for a real return and gotten the same effect.

Every team does worse with a lead than while trailing, it's certainly not an easy thing to change. And it goes beyond who you're giving shifts to, the exact same set of players perform worse with the lead.Levitate posted:I think people especially Vancouver fans miss the point of why people are complaining about AV. Just because your team went and hired some lovely coaches doesn't mean AV is without fault. I'd rather he magically learn to fix his mistakes but I feel comfortable saying some of his decisions probably cost the Rangers that series. It's an issue. It needs to be addressed one way or another.

I fully realize that it's just treated the same way as coach of the year or the leadership award, except even dumber because youre trying to isolate the current year of GMing, but how do they even pretend to justify nominating Dorion?

Henrik Zetterberg posted:So I don't get how Vegas is supposed to be anything but a heap of poo poo next year. I don't know all the ins and outs of the expansion draft rules, but it seems like all they're going to get is a lovely 3rd/4th liners from every team, maybe a decent goalie, and maybe someone good from their high draft pick. Maybe an aging veteran that a team doesn't want to protect because of their cap hit or whatever.

Gio posted:florida has made the playoffs five times in twenty four seasons, in a league where over half the teams make the playoffs. only once did they make it past the quarterfinals. they've won six playoff games since their cup run over twenty years ago. columbus has won three playoff games in seventeen seasons. and of course atlanta was hot garbage. looking past expansion to non-traditional markets in general, the yotes have only made the playoffs seven times in twenty seasons, making it past the quarterfinals once.

Feels Villeneuve posted:I think the parity talk is a little overrated. Like someone said this isn't different from most periods in NHL history, and if you look at the cup runners-up, you see a pretty big list of teams that could have won a cup if the Finals (not entirely a crapshoot, but a 7-game series can still swing by chance) had turned out differently- Nashville, San Jose, Philly, Rangers, Vancouver.

Kale posted:Am I the only one that thinks Guentzel deserved the Conn Smythe more than Crosby much like I figured Matt Murray kind of earned it last year? Might as well rename it the Sidney Crosby Trophy at this rate. I don't see Murray's case either. Kessel, maybe. Crosby would've been my pick both times though.

Captain Internet posted:Honesty, Holmgren got shunned by every GM in the league because he legitimately offersheeted Nashville of all places. Shut out by everyone because of a single offer sheet to a Western Conference team. You don't think GMGM gonna get the deep dick if he fucks over multiple teams who gave out limited NMC's like candy years ago to their vets and fringe core players because they were an easy value add to a contract that didn't affect their bottom line?

So how does this work for Bobby Ryan? He had a NMC so he must have waived? Islanders list is weird. They protected 5 defensemen but not de Haan, and Brock Nelson is available. Pornographic Memory posted:also lmao detroit protected elite goalie jimmy howard and exposed mrazek
