Was this posted? Just in case it wasn't...

Damn I have to say that must be a sample size skew because HEDMAN????

"I really want this guy... but I cannot fit him in... I will trade away someone else even if it means adding assets to him... and then I will finally be able to trade assets for this guy..."

And both are worse and more expensive. Hell yeah. Great work.

His offense keeps him as a net positive, but defensively he's been on the ice for the most shot attempts, expected goals, and high danger attempts per 60 of their 6 most common defensemen. If you take away the ">300 min" filter, only Cal Foote is worse.

Defensive impacts can be volatile year to year. Offensive impacts are more consistent in that regard. Hedman’s offensive impacts have been consistently higher end but his defensive metrics have been up & down. He’s end some poor seasons there before just as he’s had some strong ones.

That’s usually why he’s a polarizing figure amongst analytics vs. public perception. The latter treats him as a consistent high end two-way beast every year & puts him as a Norris finalist while the latter pushes back when the defensive metrics are lacking.

Tampa always plays Hedman with a 3rd pair quality partner also. Rutta, Myers, Foote…because he can carry those guys and their other lines can eat up softer matchups.

Just some humor cause Flyers suck...

In the bubble he was out with Bogosian who they got off the street.

Zero excuse to start Campbell on third

Oil could tie it up and we know what will happen next

I have no idea how you became this lost

Probably those dumb thread suggestions that show up at the bottom of the page sometimes

Between Hedman, Mcdonagh and Sergachev they probably had deepest LD in the league. No matter who played on the right they would do just fine.

 

[Curufinwe]

Was that the physical upside we witnessed last night?

 

[ponder719]

Could have held onto those draft picks, not resigned Risto, picked up JG, but God-Wimperor Charles the Last goes out and trades for Tony DeWangBlow instead. That's what this team has come to.

You're as cynical as I am. Love that. Or actually I don't? It's rough

Why would a rebuilding team want a 29 year old forward on a 7 year deal?
In 3 years we can have CBJ give us assets to take the rest of his contract.

Cause they weren't rebuilding last summer....

Me, personally? I didn't want him. I wanted us to acknowledge reality and tear this thing apart.

That said, given your boy Chuck's stated intent to be competing for a playoff spot, you tell me why you'd want a PPG guy who was salivating over the opportunity to come back and play for his childhood team.

Someone is taking L's all over!

Why would a rebuilding team want two 27/28 year old defensemen and trade away a draft's worth of picks to do so?

Why would a rebuilding team want to keep its draft picks?

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I went back and read our reactions the moment this happened.

I laughed very hard - and that's the only joy I get from Fletch.

 

[Rebels57]

For those keeping track, that's no 2nd round picks for 3 straight years (22-24) while being one of the worst teams in the NHL.

Pretty god damn remarkable.

 

[Striiker]

Just want to again point out that Carolina gained a 2nd and 4th to upgrade from TDA to Ghost.

And here we sit, with the lesser player, less picks, and less cap space.

They upgraded from TDA to Burns, Ghost is the 5th D-man, he's an upgrade from De Haan.
