JJ Peterka's 15% shooting isn't abnormal so he could maintain something similar. His career is 12.4% so he's within a deviation easily. Peterka isn't great or bad defensively, he's fairly middle of the road. He's not overly physical or overly passive. His puck carrying is fine. He really excels at using his handling to buy time and space to uncork his shot and he's fairly clever with his passing and offensive zone play. A direct style of forward that is effective if not remarkable. He's a great example of a 2nd line winger with potential for upside. I wouldn't go longer than 4yrs. I think if he does get way better, you're happy to pay him in 4yrs anyways. If he gets worse, you are out from under him. I know that walks him to UFA but if he is unhappy it might get him signed for some time so things can get fixed in Buffalo (lol, not with Terry as owner) and then you can figure out what you want to do in the meantime. 8yrs for just about anyone not named Dahlin is a mistake in my mind. 7yrs for Samuelsson was dumb, and Power looks to be an overpay too. UPL got 5 years but I hate giving unproven goalies that much term and here we are. I like Peterka, he has been good this year. He has a great shot, is durable, isn't awful defensively. Is he a 60pt player or an 80pt player? My gut leans towards 60 as I don't think there is a way for him to drastically increase goals or assists. 2-4yrs (5 if you really wanna push it) and then see where you are at. What's that worth? probably in that 7million dollar range. Has he? Or did he go from playing with Cozens (who cannot shoot for *****) and Quinn (who can and was decent last year) to primarily playing with Tage and Tuch.

Greenland ain't putting up with Trump's naked imperialism. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g0718g3jwo Also, Trump has now suggested that NATO could help him "annex" Greenland. How long does Trump wait until he decides the military solution is the best solution.

Hamilton said that Pegula wasn't at the Winnipeg game and... Pegula didn't stay and watch the infamous Montreal game where he gave the team a pep talk, is that correct?

Well, McLeod gave you most of that this year while getting almost no pp time at first.

Idk, maybe?

Exactly, 4 months. Ruff and company were to busy force feeding Cozens pp and top 6 minutes.

Idk what this means in response to what I said

Only took the coaches 4 months to realize that.

This coaching staff is awful

Schaefers potential is better Dahlin or bigger Makar. He's probably 2yrs away the NHL. So the question becomes, is Schaefer going to be Makar and is Misa gonna be Mackinnon

Had Picasso's last night. So good, on transit in Amherst.

Food for thought, who's better? The top 5 forwards in the NHL or the top 1 defender?

That's fine but Jake O'Brien at 5 is a hair questionable. That said, there's gonna be a range of guys from 5-12 that are all in a tier together.

It's 2025, saying searching online and buying pizza is lazy and cheap is certainly a take. Maybe ppl in Buffalo like pizza (hence the searching) and there's a lot of competition in a relatively poor area (hence the cheapness)

I don't think it's a coincidence that Terry, who hasn't been around all year and acts like he gives 0 , suddenly is on a western road trip. Adams has to go. That coaching staff needs at least half of it replaced and honestly, all of it. The defense needs at least 2 new guys.

Schaefer's fun though:

Owen Power sure was but this board went feral at any other suggestion.

If we draft 1st overall? Hard to say. Schaefer breaking his clavicle is annoying because we didn't get all those post wjc games to see where he's at. Misa meanwhile was great down the stretch. Schaefer won't be 18 until Sept. So there's that too. Idk, I go back and forth.

You literally can separate the two. Also you can literally separate drops from good passes. Dismissing stats just says you don't understand what they're trying to show you on the ice.
