The best part about another power forward breaking out at 24/25 means GMs will continue drafting talentless giant guys in the hopes that they get one of those, because Thompson showed at pretty much no level before the NHL that he was ever capable of hitting this kind of performance we can call it the parable of the Dach and the Caufield

Levitate posted:IMO the bottom line is how his teammates feel about it. If they have a problem, they should tell him. If they don't, then it's fine. People like Rupp and anyone else can gently caress off about it if they're not privy to what's going on in the locker room I'd be angrier if my star teammate broke his hand or got concussed and hosed up our season

I think the only way you could even begin to consider it is an in-depth public apology/meeting with the family if they want and him donating nearly his whole drat salary and free time to charities. After he does that for a few years without incident maybe, maybe you consider letting him up with an absolutely zero tolerance policy for like... anything. And yeah that sounds arduous and impossible but dude deserves whatever the opposite of "benefit of the doubt" is

WeaponX posted:The “he made a mistake and should get a second chance” narrative is false because it implies a singular event. This was a pattern of abuse to the point he had to be put in front of a judge who said they did not think he was truly remorseful. He chose to not change his behavior many, many, times despite given opportunities to do so. And all that’s even before his half-hearted attempts at an apology when drafted. Eh, yeah I'm immediately back on team "gently caress that guy and gently caress the bruins for signing him" penalize them a draft pick

They are a different team from the one that started the season and I can't account for it as a personnel issue. I really feel like Sullivan's systems are just way too drat easy to exploit.

Maybe both. it also felt like once the book was out on how to break him, everyone was picking the corner like they're Alex loving Kovalev and it seems like the sort of thing a good goalie coach could adjust for but the pens have never been particularly known for those

fawning deference posted:I wish NJ could erase the Palat signing and have that cap space back. They really don't need him and would have an extra $5-6m to work with. Echoing sentiments that this team with Gaudreau would be unfair. Yeah that was definitely a desperation move. They could probably move him with some retention if he really doesn't fit in, or the buyout gets palatable in 2025

Keep in mind those are mostly even strength points as well. He seems to be pretty good for around 30 of those, and sure that's not elite production but it's always a good thing to have players on the roster that don't need special teams time to pot goals

Laf definitely still needs to improve his skating to get to the next level. As it stands he is very much a complimentary player with a good set of hands. Granted, that's a fine thing to be but he generates next to nothing on his own and doesn't really back-check either Kakko is also not the best skater in the world but he is just an all around smarter player with and without the puck, is good at picking pockets, and can make a play on his own. They both surely have more to give but despite the production differences, I still think Kakko tops out as a higher caliber player than Laf, everything else being equal.
