Hip Now and Wow! posted:I'm not certain I like exposing rust and protecting Maatta. Of course it could be moot if they already have some kinda deal for flower.  I find it extremely amusing that Colorado has amassed three players named Bork over the years, and that they're all exposed. Like the mgmt is just now realizing that bringing in Borks doesn't guarantee Cups, even if it did happen to work that one time

Pornographic Memory posted:i am curious to see how good/bad maatta plays away from trevor daley who's historically been a huge drag fancystats-wise and only good in that regard last year when he played most of his minutes with brian dumoulin. i'm not expecting miracles but daley's not exactly the kind of steady reliable defenseman to prop up a shaky partner and give him room to make mistakes IIRC maatta's WOWYs don't look good no matter how you cut them

Suspicious posted:Weird that when they're trying to unload him, all of PAS suddenly loves MAF. it's exactly the opposite of weird that there are good feelings for MAF right now, since he's very likely not going to be on the pens anymore. hard to hate on such a lovable doof when you don't have to worry about more beachball gifs. and the fact that his hot streak was almost singlehandedly responsible for getting the pens into the ECF doesn't hurt either

Teemu Pokemon posted:MAF and Antti Niemi are my two favorite goalies of all time because Chris Osgood is no longer the worst goalie to win a cup Cam Ward wants a word with you

Suspicious posted:Cam Ward is the only reason Carolina won in '06. Yeah he got bad almost immediately after, but he was lights out during the run. He might be the worst goalie to win the cup, which is different than being the goalie with the worst cup-winning run. I'm not sure who the latter is tbh, I think most cup-winning runs tend to be good to outstanding, can't really think of a truly bad cup-winning run in the past 20 years or so

the blues jersey looks fine imo and if you showed it to me and said this is their current jersey that they've used for the past 5 years i wouldn't bat an eye the preds jersey isn't awful but it's a downgrade from their current jersey, which is one of the better jerseys in the league

I don't think Hossa would consider retiring if it wasn't extremely serious. He might be slowing down but he still almost hit 30G last year. Still might be convenient for the Hawks, but not in a  kind of way

I guess that's not a god awful trade but oh man if I was an oilers fan I would be real nervous with Chiarelli behind the reins As a Penguins fan, it pleases me greatly that there's a serious possibility that poor roster management might be a real limiting factor to McDavid ever getting close to achieving a legacy like Crosby

The Golden Man posted:Im not sure if building a team exclusively through good G committee D and letting good C bank shots in off of 20 year olds on cheap deals is the right plan but it is a plan you could argue that this is how the pens won the cup this year

so seems like hawks losing hjamarlsson was pretty bad, but im kind of surprised by the reaction to the saad/panarin trade. panarin obviously has better raw production numbers, but if you look overall at their stats it's hard for me to think that panarin is that much better of a scorer vs. just a kane coattailer. seems kind of like a wash in terms of player impact but saad is marginally younger so seems like a pretty OK deal for CHI?

Aphrodite posted:Yes but Saad definitely is that. Exactly. If you've got 2 guys that can coattail off Kane pretty well with the same cap hit, might as well go for the younger one? Will be interesting to see how Panarin does on CBJ...

grack posted:Giving up a first round pick to get a markedly worse player is pretty goddamned stupid. It wasn't a good trade but if you think it's comparable to what Holland and Chiarelli are doing, you're nuts That said, it is extremely bizarre that JR thinks the Pens need more grit after going back to back with potentially the softest team in the league* *excluding Sidney Crosby's Good Hockey Plays of course

Spring Break My Heart posted:Why are people sincerely trying to justify that trade. Not caring about the trade because it has low/no impact =! justifying it Bad trades that Don't Matter aren't as bad as Bad Trades that Do Matter. Really not a difficult concept
