just a reminder; we traded MDZ for Klein
Sather is a wizard when it comes to trades. I know I don't need to mention anything about UFA signings, but he can trade with the best of them.
just a reminder; we traded MDZ for Klein
let's not go nuts on Fast he's nothing special. he's playing better yes but id deal him for an upgrade on the fourth line today if I could.
but he's cheap and works hard looks to be improving its a capped league you can't always get what you want.
don't ever compare him to hagelin who is not playing great right now but we all know what he's capable of and that he'll turn it on come playoff time
I don't get it how you can come to this conclusion. He's 23 and has 28 games under his belt.

This is exactly what you want from a 4th liner in a capped league.let's not go nuts on Fast he's nothing special. he's playing better yes but id deal him for an upgrade on the fourth line today if I could.

Can someone tell me if it's all the loss of the 4th line and Stralman (and I guess brassard) that has turned us into a poor possession team? We're not going to be getting a bunch of oddman rushes in the playoffs and when things get tighter.
He is both smarter on the ice and more skilled than Hagelin. he isn't as fast. That's about it.
Corsi tied through 29 games
2013/14: 441/455 = 49.2
2014/15: 459/472 = 49.3
Fenwick tied through 29 games
2013/14: 336/335 = 50.1
2014/15: 346/349 = 49.8
I'd give it some more time before definitively saying they're a poor possession team.
Anaheim is 12th in the league in CF-close%. They are a team I think will out-perform their possession numbers, but I don't think they'll improve their possession numbers.An issue I have with possession stats is that people will look at poor possession stats, act like it's Judgement Day, and shout "Unsustainable! They're doomed!" Like the Ducks for example, whose wins are way outpacing their Corsi. But looking at the Ducks roster, I'd say their Corsi is going to catch up with their wins, not the other way around.
There's 50 games left. Corsi can improve just like every stat can improve.

I'm perfectly content with those numbers considering we have iced a full line up (without Glass) three times all year. And we won those games 3-0 and 5-1, and the other was that abortion Detroit game.
I haven't been following, since Glass went down with Mumps, has he played because of other injuries/mumps, or has he played despite us having the ability to put guys like Miller and Fast on the 4th line?
This.
I know he's a valuable player, but how stupid Hagelin can be on the ice has really gotten on my nerves, and makes a trade for him easier to swallow. It's like his brain falls out every now and then.
You're not going to make Fasth happen
If we say it enough we could haha. I love fasth. Fasth is an excellent 4th liner. I was rooting for fasth when he was in hartford. I was happy when we drafted fasth. Fasth had 2 great scoring chances yesterday. I was their when fasth scored his first goal. Fasth is a solid bottom 6 player. Fasth has a team friendly contract. Fasth is a million times better than glass.
See we can do it! Let's make the transition!
I don't care if it catches on or not, I just wanna call him by his real name, not his americanized name. It's a pet peeve of mine...call people by their real name.
When I was in high school one of my best friends name was Rabindrah. Nobody called him that because it was too hard for them to pronounce...so everyone called him Mike...he told people to call him Mike.
I always called him Rabindrah
Once I called him Rabindrah in his own house and his sister didn't know who I was talking about lol.
DOOOO EEETTTTT!!!
