Miscellaneous NHL Talk V10.0 - 2018/19 Regular Season

Chiarelli is NOT dead, I repeat, NOT DEAD




Dude I am so glad we fired Hextall before Chiarelli gets fired by the Oilers. Even rumours about interviewing him would kill me

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

I would laugh if some lower/mid tier guy asked for a 1 team NTC to Edmonton and it actually started being a norm around the league

I would LMFAO if that started happening.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Look at this thing. Just look at it.

RE:Spooner

I understand expecting him to bounce back a bit just leaving Edmonton and that he can play some Center, but as was said, he makes more than Weise for the same term and dear God is he awful defensively.

To be fair, he did things that are needed on this team (Zone Entries, etc), but that's getting to be a while ago now and the across the board drop is more than just being in any one place can be.

Those tertiary Bruins Forwards are usually not the bets I want to make.

Jeff Hakstok would love all that heaviness. Maybe a bit too much youth though...

Well we also should add, that TT took a bridge deal of 2 years at $2.86 million per year. So "technically", TK could go that route too. Take 2 years at 3 million then look for the 5-7 million deal after that. Personally I hope they go higher years even if it costs a bit more. But even doing that means he should not touch TT since there is a 20 points swing in points.

And yes you can point to PP points, but TK has gotten PP minutes on the 2nd unit and has been part of it not producing. So Mgt can point to that. It's not like he has been give no chance.

I can see the contractual argument since total points and minutes played on the powerplay would be the terms discussed. However, it feels disingenuous to not dig deeper into context. Minutes on the Flyers' PP2 is not much of an opportunity.

More on the disconnect I mentioned... Teams have in house systems to make player valuations. Why hasn't this type of analysis migrated to discussion on contractual value? As soon as the word contract comes up all talk of rate/relative metrics goes out the door. The biggest factors in determining salary for RFAs seem to be point totals and irrelevant hockey guy intangibles.

You’d hope there’s enough proof out there at this point that shows this dude has no clue what he’s doing but I’m sure some hockey guy will point back to that time the Bruins won a cup to justify it again.

 

[Striiker]

The last thing we want is for Chiarelli to be out of the league.

So long as he's not our GM, he helps us a lot by taking one team out of contention each year.

He also made NJ a lot better then they should be.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, but I'm not worried about NJ.

They overachieved like crazy last year and their future doesn't look nearly as bright as ours.

 

[deadhead]

Shero blew that rebuild, they're just good enough to stay mediocre, 20th ranked farm system, will have to tank and hit on the draft lottery to have much hope.
Their best players are 27 (Palmieri, Hall, Coleman, Vatanen).
Under 25: Nico, Butcher (24), Bratt, Zacha, Seney, Mueller
Blackwood is a promising young goalie, which they need since Kincaid has gone south and Schneider fell off the cliff.

 

[The Madrigal]

I still don't understand how a 26 year old Spooner goes from being a 40-50 point forward with Boston for three years, to 5 points in 40 games.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He traded Hall, Eberle, Schultz, & the draft pick that ended up being Barzal to our division. The best asset he has out on his current team out this ordeal is a meh mid-pair guy in Larsson.

Unless we’re the benefactors I don’t really want keep giving this guy some more cracks at it.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Look at this thing. Just look at it.

McDavid is like “I didn’t sign up for this shit

4.5 Per year ??????????????

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Lol you could have found comparable goalies for cheaper.

 

[bennysflyers16]

His numbers last 10 games are at a Neuvy level !!!!!

This deal is next level bad

 

[Tripod]

So he made 2.5 million this year

Is at a .911 SV%, 2.78 SV% and almost doubled his cap hit.

 

[Magua]

The next team that hires Chiarelli, in any capacity, gets the special grand prize: their team folding and moving to Quebec City.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They have $73.7M tied into 16 players for next year at this point. They have one of the shallowest rosters in the league & their cap numbers do not reflect that.

 

[CanadianSniper]

And he's only played 27 games. Holy s*** is Chiarelli the worst. How he hasnt been fired is reaching unfathomable heights.

 

[CanadianSniper]

I'm a Flyers fan first and always, but as an Edmontonian I would prefer to see them doing better, just so I can see some actual live playoff hockey for once in my life. I'm literally gonna have to go down to Calgary to see a playoff game lol.

Barkov responds to Pavel Barber(Youtube guy) on twitter

This thread is amazing. Guy in there is arguing that players don’t pull off moves like the Michigan in games not because it’s difficult to do but out of fear.
