Every hour that Dubas continues with 12F 9D and Matt Murray ready to come back makes me increasingly nervous

it’s not that other teams wouldn’t match that price, it’s that Arizona held out on an insane price too long, everyone spent their picks, and then the Yotes reduced the price after a bunch of teams dropped out because they had to move Chychrun after holding him out for so long and had no leverage. The coyotes played themselves.

I do wonder where Bertuzzi slots in immediately, I thought Debrusk was doing pretty well in the top 6 and at some point I imagine Taylor Hall comes back.

Jamwad Hilder posted:I really don't like Bertuzzi that much as a guy, with all the ant-vax poo poo, and I don't know where he fits in when everyone is healthy, but he's a decent player. He's older than I thought too, for some reason I thought he was like 25 but he's 28. He's on a cheap deal (less than 2.5M somehow) and only signed for another year, so I guess it's a decent playoff rental. They really want to win the cup this year. Detroit’s retaining 50%, his full cap hit is $4.75M, and he’s a UFA at the end of this season I was reading that performance bonuses could lead Boston to have a pretty sizeable cap penalty next year so yeah, they’re really committed to winning this season cause it’s gonna be tough later

mcmagic posted:They are losing picks for this right? I can’t see why, the punishment is them not getting to make the recall and having to play with a short roster. It’s not the first time this has happened, iirc Calgary had to play short for a bit due to post-trade cap problems years back.

I think the rest of the thread has properly understood that an NHL employee attempting to bully random members of their fan base in order to silence dissent, and admitting to homophobic sympathies while doing so, is actually bad and outrageous.

Seriously though I don't know how they plan to manage rostering 9D every night and keep everybody they acquired fresh and happy, 11F 7D feels like a compromise not a real roster and that still means benching two of Timmins/Liljegren/Schenn/Gustafsson/Holl

I spent basically the entire first month of the season lamenting the play and ceilings of Sandin and Liljergren and I haven't really changed my views on that, but yeah it is a big problem that Keefe can't identify that there are worse players in that d corps he's giving a pass for some reason. Also the Leafs' worst defenseman this year is Morgan Rielly

The Leafs broadcast tonight starting with a discussion on how Auston Matthews “needs to get going” and never mentioning both he and the team repeatedly talking about a nagging injury, him sitting out the All Star game and multiple stretches this year because of it, and anyone watching him immediately being able to see that he doesn’t have his trademark wrister and is shying away from shooting opportunities, makes me wonder how much heat this debate would really garner if he was healthy and scoring at his pace from last year. It’s a moot point though because it’s starting to feel like he’s not getting back to his old self any time soon.

Ginette Reno posted the rule that the puck can’t be directed/batted intentionally with any part of the body other than a stick, kicking motion deals directly with feet yeah but that rule covers the shin. Nylander definitely had a goal called off for heading it in which also falls under that rule, so it seems like the situation room just forgot about it?

xzzy posted:Someone should clue him into the fact that calorie availability goes up when you cook stuff. Yeah someone tell him the reason he wants more of it after eating is that he’s still hungry because human digestive tracts aren’t good at processing raw meat and a significant amount of it is just passing through his system as bulk. Don’t teams have trainers and nutritionists that would theoretically know this stuff and call him a dumbass fairly regularly?

Sandin’s on-ice shooting percentage with the Caps is 20%, his PDO is 117.4, he’s below 50% in all percentages of xG, corsi, fenwick, scoring chances and high danger scoring chances (per natural stat trick). His offensive zone starts are nearly 70%.

The game Sandin played 30 minutes for WAS in he got exactly two defensive zone face offs, I’m assuming at least one was an icing. I find it hard to believe the Caps coaching staff really see Sandin as a top option with the lengths they’ve gone to keep him out of his own end, especially against a top team they are sheltering the crap out of him.

Mind_Taker posted:If we’re really going advanced stats his offensive xGF/60 RAPM over the past 3 seasons is the highest among all defensemen in the NHL. And his overall xG impact is 11th over that same period, behind only McAvoy, Toews, Fox, Weegar, Tanev, Slavin, Pelech, Spurgeon, Makar, and Demelo. That’s pretty drat good company. There’s a big difference between putting up eye-popping xG when you’re a third pair guy playing garbage minutes and doing it against real comp 20 minutes a night, as Hand Knit pointed out Sandin of the last three years is absolutely the “one of these things is not like the others” in those lists. -e- don’t think I had the right tone, just gonna snip this part Koopa Kid fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Mar 12, 2023 |

I’m actually gonna dial this back a little, I’m not trying to trash the player cause he does a lot of good things on the ice and Caps fans should be excited to add a young NHL guy. I just looked into this run he’s on because of the lol Leafs talk and I don’t think we’d be having this conversation if he wasn’t having the luckiest week and a half he’s ever had.

The fact that Vegas has managed to pull off all their weird bullshit and keep on humming in a league where most GMs are too conservative to even move UFAs they’re not going to extend is impressive https://twitter.com/mikeystephens81/status/1635296374026809346?s=20 So the odds that Keefe puts Simmonds into the lineup G1 against Tampa despite not trusting him to play at all in the regular season are, what, 80%? Maybe 95?

pseudodragon posted:Who's coming out? Right now, 12th forward is Steeves, SDA or whatever so might as well throw in Wayne. But come playoffs, ROR should be back, they don't have to exile Holmberg anymore and hopefully Knies forces something which puts Simmonds at 15 at best. We're talking about a guy that scratched Jason Spezza, who had played 71 games last season, to start Kyle Clifford. The precedent is both recent and strong that it doesn't matter how much of a roster stalwart someone is when Keefe wants his punchers in.
