So embedded is acting, meaning they have Al the people read from a script? Interesting. I’m sure the opposing gms would love that

Embedded implies otherwise. Adams said the trade wasn’t happening cuz Utah would include Doan in the trade, they “consider him a glue piece to the team.” he’s may not be a top 6 forward but he’s not a throw-in either

analytically he’s one of the top forcheckers in the game + he has very good size. A very late bloomer (went undrafted in his first year of eligibility which is shocking given his name) so let’s hope he develops as a decent scorer. I don’t expect him to approach Peterka’s numbers but if he can get to 70% of peterka’s offense that would be a huge win

Dahlin isn’t good playing defense? Interesting. And it’s not like the Sabres aren’t going play a player in JJ’s place. I’m not optimistic but I’m not irrationally negative either

What makes you think Lyon is not the best NHL goalie of the 3 right now? Statistics say otherwise

So I read this as really good, right?

Yeah it makes no sense

It should as Doan and Kesselring have extremely good analytics and JJ does not

Let’s give power a real d partner this year and see what happens. He’s still young and it took Dahlin a while too. Granted he’s never going to use his size like we want but hopefully his d-zone awareness can improve with a partners who isn’t hideous

The more I study the analytics of this trade, the more I think it could end up being like the McLeod trade. The two guys we got really have limited NHL exposure but very good analytics. Peterka is lethal offensively but unless he grasps playing D, he’ll be a skinner type - flashy stats but is just good enough to help you lose. hopefully we add another forward. Would love signing Byram (even for the two year arbitration amount) and trading futures for a Rust type

I didn’t follow savoie’s AHL year last year but it’s a trade that prob can work out for both teams. I still think if EDM would have kept McLeod they would have had a good chance to win the cup than what. No reason for them to trade him and he would have given them a ton more than skinner did

Botterill was a disaster choice by Pegula - esp when he could have had zito. Pegula lucked into Beane but screwed the pooch on this one

Doesn’t matter as KA is too stupid to be on conversations for him. He only cares about 4th line forwards, 3rd line defenseman and backup goalies. Prove me wrong

As in Gavin? Penn state must really be trying to build up the hockey program

Oloffson too………pass
