Shit, he's in the Kreider box.Look.
Look at Bob O'Gara and the corner he is in.
Behold.
I think a lot of that is just being on the ice with KZF. His RelT metrics are going to be horrible at the end of the year.Look.

Thanks boo
Dude is a god damn enigma. His shot is average and he's constantly at the top of the league in Sh% and shooting lift (G - xG). I don't ****ing get it.Who's gonna tell Tampa fans about JTM once he stops shooting 26%?
I'm still kinda miffed that we traded him because I honestly thought he would've done better under a different coach. C'est la vie. I think Namestnikov will fare better as well once we stop trying to force him into being a C when he's a LW. We need better C depth next season, and I'm not holding my breath that Chytil and Andersson will fill that void.Dude is a god damn enigma.

Maybe his shot isn't average. Maybe I suck.
Hockey is dumb.
I still think moving him was the right call, operating under the assumption he'll be signed to a deal that's roughly 5 years in length and $25+ in total money. I have my suspicions he keeps this production going.I'm still kinda miffed that we traded him because I honestly thought he would've done better under a different coach. C'est la vie.

Probably, but I guess it depends on what happens with Vlad and Spooner. I'm also hesitant and a bit skeptical about the whole character issues narrative. I'm just frustrated because he fits the identity for the type of team I'd want to build, which is a bigger, fast north-south team. Can you tell that I have an American bias?I still think moving him was the right call, operating under the assumption he'll be signed to a deal that's roughly 5 years in length and $25+ in total money.

I seriously doubt both Vlad and Spoon are here next season. One of these guys should be traded for Klefbom, or in a similar "hockey deal" for an LD. I also don't really see either of them signing for an AAV north of $4m.Probably, but I guess it depends on what happens with Vlad and Spooner.

A move for Klefbom is so goddamn obvious that it hurts. It's basically a wash age-wise and money-wise too consider the contract we'd be offering one of those kids. We don't have an LD pressing for another year or two anyways and it gives them a cushion to move Staal down the road. A top-4 of Klefbom-Shattenkirk and Skjei-ADA is nice.I seriously doubt both Vlad and Spoon are here next season.

Build a time machine?The only thing that sucks is figuring out what to do with Staal and Smith.
Eh, I'd really rather go L-R with the pairings. I guess we'll see what happens in the offseason.Build a time machine?
EDIT - I still think Smith is servicable. We just need a new ****ing coach
Klefbom - Shattenkirk
Skjei - Smith
Kid 1 - Kid 2
Franson
I really don't see a way we get rid of Smith, though, without retaining heavily. It was a dumb contract when we signed him, but we signed him. In reality, I don't think he was as bad as people like to remember him being this year. And this "fight" with Vinni in Hartford isn't doing him any favors. But I'd much rather try and put him in a position to succeed than spend $3m AAV on the cap having him play in the AHL.Eh, I'd really rather go L-R with the pairings.

Why is fight in quotations? Are you calling into question the legitimacy of the fight?I really don't see a way we get rid of Smith, though, without retaining heavily.

A brouhaha. A donnybrook. A melee, if you will.
Yes. I wasn't there. There's no video of it. LB called it a fight. Could've been a scuffle. Or maybe a hoosker-doo. A scrum. A kerfuffle.
