The more distance they can create in the first half of the season they more they can afford to experiment with their combinations. They are like 15 points ahead of 9th place right now.

I remember when @JohnHodgson said I “didn’t know anything about hockey” and wondered “what crack your smoking” when I suggested Hronek could be seeking $8M+ only 7 months ago.
The point isn’t to bring down his contract, the point is to see if he’s worth the contract he’s demanding.

7x2.5M would be less money in total than he'd get on a 4 year term from any of the many teams interested in him. 7 years at 3.5M or so might get him, and it would be a great deal for the team in many ways.
you do want to see if someone who is going to ask for big money can anchor a line/pairing or is someone who is more the support guy.
He’ll look worse away from Hughes. He also should be hard capped at Hughes’ AAV, he shouldn’t get 8 in Van. Question becomes whether you trade him at the TDL if he won’t sign for Hughes’ cap hit.

For now i get the willingness to keep the pedal down but when/if we get Soucy back and he gets up to speed they need to start looking at splitting them. Not just to evaluate Hronek but to show different looks and have options later. It's important to not allow them to get stale either or teams to get too tuned in to what they do in the pre scouts.
So I was listening the PDOcast yesterday for pretty much the first time. While I understand that analytics have utility, I often feel that way too much is read into them.
So yesterday two of them are discussing why Expected Goals isn't all it's cracked up to be. Went something like this "what we're realizing is that finishing, and actual goals are important".
I nearly spit my coffee out.

As this stuff evolves xgf will peter off because it is so much noise
They will start to figure out more effective things that drive actual results (like real ones).. and contribute to scoring .. there is so much to unravel and understand within xgf
I dont pay as much attention to this stuff lately.. maybe stuff is already out there..

New priority is getting a top line winger for Pettersson. Preferably a LW. Mikheyev, Suter, Lafferty isn’t ideal especially in the playoffs.
Konecny, Guentzel, Buchnevich, Forsberg, etc
Guentzel might be the perfect fit considering the connections with Tocc/Allvin. Could be our Marian Hossa type acquisition.

xg is more predictive of future success than corsi or fenwixk but it's not that much more predictive. the real problem with nhl advanced stats is that the data available is so thin. all you get really is the player and the location they touched the puck. there's no way to tell from the data whether a shot was a tip, a hurried wrister in traffic or a clean shot off a cross crease pass. obviously all these have very different actual value but the data just isn't there to "score" them
if the nhl ever releases the tracking data they have we might start to see good "advanced" metrics but until then you may as well just go by raw corsi (without deployment adjustment or score effects, those make it's quality worse not better). it's not the best for predictive purposes but it tracks scoring well enough

Been wondering if Buchnevich wiggles loose if the Blues continue to slide.

Diamond in the rough
He's my top choice. Although it will cost the assets needed to acquire a top 4 RDH (if one is available).

If you think Rick is hard on Kuz you would be see a new level of distain for Buch. VERY lazy player

Buch would be incredible but going to cost alot.
TK would be great but I don't see why Philly would take back Kuz in a deal.
Wsh a possibility but you'd likely have to take back Mantha (least he's on an expiring).
Don't see a fit with the Isles.
Cap hit and term is a real detriment to a Kuz trade. No different than Boeser or Garland before they turned it around this year.
