Not sure if Peterka is still active here, but I thought I'd send along a PSA in case he is.

Dumping salary could equal being able to spend big money in FA and keeping Tuch.
I'm seriously hoping for this! Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I honestly think Tuch is a foregone conclusion.

To anyone upset about this trade... Check all the advanced and not-so advanced stats. Timmins is a good 3rd pair D. Clifton wasn't.
All the Leafs fans I know liked him. Sounds like Pens fans liked him too. I don't think anyone anywhere has liked Clifton.
Lots of reasons to be upset with the team so I get the frustration, but this is a small win for us.

Timmins is good! Huge upgrade over Clifton who dragged us down pretty bad the last couple seasons.
Sucks we had to give up a 39th pick to do it... but I'm happy.
Note: he's also a "local" kid from the Canadian side.

I’m not sure Kesselring lasts past the next trade deadline.
RFA time baby!

D take longer to develop.
Tall players take longer to develop.
It'll be a long while until he's not a liability.

PSA- I'm just throwing out the reminder that for all the jostling of players, it's all meaningless unless we can improve in net.

If he gets back on track, this could be a good deal. Achilles injuries sometimes take a while.

Someone else said it finally lol
I can’t decide whether it’s more embarrassing or just hilarious. Like ordinarily I’d say embarrassing but like…there turn on him in real time is so shockingly brazen and barren and obviously it’s so damn. I couldn’t even make my meme work when I said “within 24 hours we’ll love the deal”
Nope - Peterka is a bad apple within LESS than 24 hours. No attempt to hide it.
I hope you're not including me as one of the guys turning on Peterka. I dont think anyone really has other than Rivet. I'm just saying our core isn't a party crowd, and they won't miss him as much as I would have expected after hearing this news.
Obviously, Peterka is not much different than a lot of other 23 year olds around (myself included 🤠). I honestly thought Peterka going on the cheap could have been the straw that broke Tage and Dahlin's backs. After listening to Rivet, this doesn't necessarily have to be true if they were very far apart lifestyle wise.

This has merit for UFA’s (for instance, no way in the world Marner or Ehlers signs here) but generally does not with trades, unless the player has a NMC, which most do not.
I know its completely and utterly irrational, but I have this nagging hope that Marner will take his love of the Bills and Josh Allen to the next level and sign with the Sabres.
I'll see myself out.

He said the probably doesn’t bode well bit?
Or was that you
I look at it from the perspective that many of the players that I assumed would have been P.O'd by this trade... and want to leave this cheapskate franchise next, might actually not be as upset as I first thought.

I like that we always have to trash the players personally on the way out lmao
Don't shoot the messenger! I'm just repeating what Rivet said.
-
Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere but Craig Rivet was on After the Whistle saying "JJ Peterka was more concerned about serving drinks being a bar at 4 o'clock in the morning". Said off the ice he was making poor decisions.
Probably doesn't bode well on this team with most of the core either being familymen (Tage, Tuch, Power) or just hyper focused on hockey (Dahlin).
-
How about Power's injury? Any updates there?
-
Don't like the trade but it's a done deal. We all know where Kesselring is going to play, but what about Doan?
He has a Mule-esque sample size in the league of just 62GP and 28pts (which isn't bad for PPG).
With it being subject to change post Byram deal and free agency, where does he fit into the lineup?

I think where I come down is that Peterka is likely to regress.
You're usually pretty well researched, so I genuinely want to know why think this.
I see a guy who's got top end ability off the rush and has creativity to match. Even going back to the WJC's when he was playing with Stutzle I thought he was nearly as talented, just less hyped. I also feel like he's young enough to improve his defensive game, just as guys like Eichel and Matthews did as they matured.
-
I want to see the analytics of why this was a good trade. I looked through it, and it neither player are analytics darlings. Peterka has talent that can't be easily replaced.
-
I just had gallbladder removal surgery yesterday, so if anyone is planning on organizing a fan revolt/protest, can you save it for after the Byram deal? I'll need a week or two to recover and I really want in!

For anyone on here that wants to find the upside of Doan and Kesselring... Just remember we shipped Peterka's 68pts out the door to get it... Not to mention his potential.
Dahlin and Thompson are going to want no part of this ***** show by the end of next year.

Hagens, because of his size?
For all his expectations, Hagens underproduced. He had two high end linemates, both of whom out produced him. Still, he'd collect his share of points by virtue of playing with them. The end story though is that Hagens was likely the passenger... Not the driver.
I haven't watched him though, so the boots on the ground report may say otherwise. Hard to argue with the scoresheet though.

The worst thing in the press conference hasn't even been discussed yet.
Pegula has his daughter sitting in on scouting meetings?!?!?! In what world would this be a thing for any other franchise in professional sports?!?!

"What Do You Do with a Number Like Nine?"
You let that number get the neck surgery it wants and you sign veteran defense and goaltending to keep that number happy.

I feel like Lindy isn't a year away from retirement. I think if the team keeps improving and/or gets competitive, he'll be here long term. Speaking of which, when's that goalie signing going to happen?!!!
