rex rabidorum vires posted:Soooooo I started this post earlier on my phone....and it started to get a little out of hand so here's the 2nd crack at it. This is going in the Loser's thread because 1. A huge reason the Penguins will end up here are because of this players play (amongst others) and 2. Another of these idiot teams might be on the one that gives this player a big contract. Boy I hope it isn't my team and yikes if it is yours. With that out of the way lets talk.....Tristan Jarry. Yeah that's why he's going to end up back with the Pens on like 3 years/$4M per. They have no goalie and can't afford a real one, if he's amenable to re-signing they don't have much choice. I mean if Jarry isn't the Pens goalie next year then it's going to be someone like Jonathan Quick or Cam Talbot. Or maybe both if they finally realize Casey DeSmith is a lifelong ECHL'er living the dream. e: rex can you do me a favor and the next time you make a huge Rex Effortpost™ don't make it post #39 on the page, tia.

rex rabidorum vires posted:So what's the tl'dr Rex? Well it is that Tristan Jarry has been absolutely awful and bottom 3rd goaltender in the league since his return on January 20th. I've already looked at too much spreadsheets and forget what his early season stuff was, but I want to say up and down with mostly positive results. Unfortunately he either is still broken and playing through it/'the team' is pressuring and using modern medicine (toradol injections) to try and get some kind of performances. What is clear though is that since his return Jarry has been downright awful and while he has had some ups in his career I would not want to be the team that sinks years and medium to big dollars into him. The Pens expected goals against on the season is actually a few goals above their actual goals against (256 expected, 253 actual). Real issue is they can't finish. 287 expected goals for, but they've only actually scored 248. Anyways this doesn't discount your point. Jarry has been bad since coming back from injury. But overall on the season the finishing/bad luck has been what has killed them the most. They have an expected goal differential of 31 and an actual goal differential of minus 5

bub spank posted:I feel like this about the Sens too. They made it competitive until the last few weeks of the season, and did so without their #1 centre for the entire year, and without their #1 goalie for long stretches of the season, including for the entirety of this current slump that wrecked their playoff hopes. They've got their core locked up for the next few years, that core only got better as the year went on, and there's no more obvious boat anchors on D like Zaitsev. Tkachuk and Stutzle both look like legitimate first liners, with Stutzle on pace for ~95 points and 40 goals, and Tkachuk over PPG. Next season's depth chart looks like this: Skinner Tage Tuch Peterka Cozens Quinn Mittlestadt Krebs Olofsson Greenway C4 RW4 Expiring Forward contracts: Okposo - I want him to retire so the Sabres don't think of bringing him back Girgs - Would be happy to re-sign him. Shot suppression grinder 4th line type. Jost - Fine as a 13/14th forward Hinestroza - We can do better as a 13th/14th forward Would like to see the Sabres move Olofsson in the offseason. Samuelsson + Dahlin Power + RD2 Bryson/Stillman + Boosh/Jokiharju Haula, Tatar, Garnet Hathaway. Ryan Graves, Connor Clifton, Gudas, Mayfield. We need complimentary players for Power. Sign a good veteran goalie for next 1-2 seasons, Varlomov, Anderson. Throw a $4.2m aav offer sheet at Swayman to force Boston to lose him or spend cap they don't have. If Swayman signs it, it only costs a 2nd rounder.

Which is why I was hoping the Pens would get JVR in....a middle 6 winger with some finish. Instead they got a cut rate 'creator/passer' type in Granlund to play with a line that has zero finish. Tbh Heinen has been super disappointing this year, but I think he was hugely a product of E Rod being awesome last year and uh lol lets not re-trod that ground

That would be perfect, a guy almost 30 and in steep decline and visibly slower than he was 2 years ago and will require a 5+ year contract. Fax it baby.

I wouldn't put it past the Pens to revisit that in the summer. That said, no idea what FSG thinks of the Pens' work this season. I don't know if missing the playoffs or getting bounced early will actually bring change.

It’s real dumb. Just play Farrell or any other on the list of warm bodies that were called up and bam nobody has to make a bullshit statement. If the team was really concerned that it was a danger to his family they would sit him. Not like it matters at this point of the season and Gurianov probably won’t even be on the team next year.

If they're not going to fire him he should be in charge of the roster. He may have vet blindness but he still knows who (externally) to target and it ain't Kulikov or Granlund

It's got to be pretty rare for a coach to lose 6 straight playoff series and keep his job, much less get promoted. Back-to-back Cups buys you a looooooot of runway.
