Line Combos: 21-22' Roster Discussion Thread

[x Tame Impala]

Mitchell’s last chance to show he is an NHL caliber D man. I wish they brought up Regula instead or Phillips.

Hardly his last chance. He’s still very young

 

[Kevin Musto]

YES!

Treat him well, Derek.

 

[Pez68]

Got rid of Keith yet this still is a looming issue

Lol. What a f***ing meaningless stat. JFresh continues to astound me. The difference between the worst team in the NHL in this stat, and the best team in the NHL in this stat, is what? A couple blocks a game? This stat is also heavily skewed by...shot attempts. Not to mention, there's basically zero correlation between winning/losing, and this statistic.

Why do people pay any attention to this shit?

His last chance, at 22? lol

Kubalik needs to go before rest of league gets onto his decline

Hahaha, I always find this argument hilarious (you’re not the only one who does it).

Do people really think pro scouts in the NHL are less aware of what’s going on than the typical fan?

It’s probably safe to assume that every team knows at least as much as we all do, and then some.

Not Ken Holland

Lol

So the interim GM has traded for Gabriel and now Lafferty. This for a team that has averaged little more than 2 goals a game. Heavy forecheck = more goals?

Davidson is trading for the same players that Mark Kelley is drafting

It's time to burn the front office to the ground

They gave Nylander all the time in the world....he should have done better in Rockford even though they are a development team.....however, the difference between Reichel and Nylander is night and day, IMO......Nylander will look to have one decent Strome season with some great linemates and cash in....no heart.

He is starting to look like Darrent Turcotte to me

A guy who impressed early and then declined quickly

 

[BobbyJet]

Did I just hear that Nylander was traded to Pens?

Sure enough:
Pens acquire Nylander from Blackhawks - TSN.ca

 

[Pez68]

There's a thread dedicated to it....

 

[BobbyJet]

Must be a reason I don't see the trade Nylander thread. :wink:

 

[ColbyChaos]

Davidson willl probably trade him for Jay Beagle

 

[featherhawk]

nick ritchie is on waivers

davidson should pluck him as he is better than some of what we have to put on the ice.

Shit. He was the one making the cap work in all my fantasy Toronto trades for Niemela.

Someones gonna pick him up for sure. Wouldn't mind if its us, he could be good insurance for the young kids if we strat trading players.

No thanks to nick

@JaegerDice

 

[giza]

Add Lafferty, Ritchie and then the Hanson Brothers.....

 

[ClydeLee]

@JaegerDice

Shows he's bad at the one thing JD said those other stats said he was bad at... zone entry/denials.

But with him and others on main threads I had to go over and over him being bad at that 1 thing doesn't equal bad overall defensively.

 

[JaegerDice]

@JaegerDice

Jones has been better since the switch to King and the zone system. He's also stopped being deployed against the other team's best (as seen here in role difficulty). It allows him to play to his strengths, which is his offensive impact.

He still profoundly sucks at denying entries, as it's incredibly easy for players to both beat him wide with the puck, or dump the puck in and beat him to the corner to get it back (also seen here in the denials category).

Seth Jones is still not good enough to warrant the price in assets to acquire him, nor the cap hit he will have starting next season. And he's already 27 years old, so the bulk of this contract is going to be on the downside of his aging curve.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Speaking of Kubalik’s decline:
What exactly is the cause of it? Is it some recent injury he had? If not, then what?


Thanks

 

[echlfreak]

Galvas 23 min +1. That’s a ton of minutes for a rookie in his first game. Well done!
