To this day I still don't know what Pang thought Stefan was doing that he should be ashamed. The puck just hit a clump of snow and bounced over his stick.

That's Ray Ferraro, and I think he figured Stefan should have just shot it earlier instead of trying to basically skate it right into the net.

But people do what Stefan did all the time, except usually without the falling.

He's also making $4 million a year, but if you're a bottom feeder that has space picking him up and flipping for half retained at the deadline isn't the worst idea.

Yeah, but he's not been super great. Okay defense, but that's about it for whichever line he's been on this year. Had about half a good season last year, but he was at least cheaper than Nino. I'm expecting Marco Rossi to actually get a shout in the second half of the season. McIntyre was just signed by Minnesota, so it's a little trashy that he needs to go through waivers. At least he's a goalie and they're voodoo so I don't expect anything to happen there.

Plus/minus is a bad indicator of defensive ability, but Adam Gaudette being -4 in ~15 total mins of icetime is impressive

Do you mean their AHL coach, or are you referring to another one? I had to look it up and the Condors' coach is...Jay Woodcroft? I guess it makes sense given the transition of Todd McLellan's staff into the Edmonton org, I just never would have described him as "bright" or "creative" in his time as video coach for the Sharks. Has he gotten better?

He's the best AHL coach they've had since Claude Julien. He actually plays young guys, and those young guys seem to get better while the team itself has been mostly successful with him as a coach.

Whether that's him or something else is all in the ether cause AHL and all that, but players seem to love him and the Condors seem to be producing somewhat useful players.

Yeah if you have the cap and are willing to spend the money *cough* not Ottawa or Arizona *cough* you could probably turn him into a pick of some kind for 'free' ish.

Edit: I would also like to know what 'analytics' Seattle is/was allegedly using.

Well see... there's just no one around here who knows how those computer thingys work. So we did some analytics (with an abacus of course) and then we forgot that we also needed to actually score goals and also defend goals, so we hired Hakstol because he grew a goatee.

Or at least that's how I assume it happened.

Tuukka Rask is comin back. He's going to Providence for a conditioning stint and we'll see he's still Vezina caliber, and then the Bruins will sign him for like league minimum which is totally fair and awesome.
