If Maloney is asking for a 1st + blue chip prospect for Vermette then I wonder what the hell Yandle's asking price is

Probably a 1st, a blue chip prospect, and an RFA-age roster player who can play on either the second line or second pair. Maybe second/third-line tweeners who he thinks can step up on his team. Probably looking for something close to the return of the Nash trade.

Weren't the final rankings on Domi all over the place? It's hard for me to remember, so I am probably wrong, but I don't think he fell, especially over the guys drafted ahead of him.

Well, I guess Hovart was seen as a questionable pick, even on draft day.

That was a pretty sick draft, and its too early to say one way or another what picks were good or bad but I think Domi will likely end up being better than at least a few guys ahead of him. Im just saying I'd probably just go and take Marner 4th if I was drafting since he's a Knights guy.

Edited my last post, asking price is probably going to be not one, but two 2nd-3rd line tweeners who he thinks can make the step up on the Yotes. Probably something like the Rick Nash trade, though he'll probably get less on one of the assets.

Matt Belesky just scored his 19th hes basically the Nick Bonino of this year. Really there's just tons of guys in the organization, I've been waiting on them to make a large package for someone good to play with Fowler for a few years now. Instead, we signed Clayton loving Stoner.

Also, can someone explain Usage Adjusted Corsi For/60 and Usage Adjusted Corsi Against/60 in terms that I would understand? I get the idea of what the numbers are trying to convey, but not what actually goes into them. Back in my day, we only had one Corsi, and we enjoyed it.

I'll give it a shot but anyone should please correct me or explain better if they can:

Corsi is a simple measurement of shot attempts for/against that doesn't take into account things like how good your linemates are, the skill of your competition, or whether you're being put at a disadvantage Corsi-wise by beginning all of your shifts in the defensive zone. e.g. Tanner Glass would inevitably get a boost if he were with Crosby and Malkin because they'd be putting up many more scoring chances than what he normally manages, just as he would in turn bring their numbers down a bit. Math wizards take that regular Corsi number and compare it against other figures such as the variables listed above as well as things like league averages or your competitions' numbers to give Adjusted Corsi, a figure that attempts to look at an individual player's offensive output in a vacuum because all other factors have been isolated.

Usage Adjusted Corsi just adjust for how a player is deployed. No one would expect a player to put up great possession numbers if they are sent out against other team's top lines in the defensive zone all the time, so they adjust their Corsi by increasing it using some formula. Similarly, players who are sent out almost exclusively in the offensive zone or against weak competition have their Corsi values adjusted downwards in an attempt to get a better understanding of how good a player is.

Yeah two sorta 'off the board' selections in Horvat and Virtanen with 10 ten picks when the team was in desperate need of an injection of top end talent was a bit depressing. Still, this team has a reputation as acting like the smartest guys in the room to uphold.

I was all for drafting Nuke at 9th. Horvat was ranked anywhere from 12th-18th and was consistently ranked behind Domi. Still it's hard to compare the two players at the moment. Horvat is playing 4th line minutes in the NHL, Domi is playing top line minutes in the OHL. When they were both playing for the nights last year their PPGs were pretty close (1.53 for Domi, 1.37 for Horvat) with Horvat playing the shutdown centre role at the same time. If Horvat had played another year in the OHL he'd have been called upon to be a top tier contributor for Canada at the WJC. Instead the Canucks chose to develop him in the NHL. He's looked fine so far, so it's not necessarily a terrible idea.

Yep, just shot attempts by the opposing team while the player is on the ice. It's how you get the CF%: CF/(CF+CA). So you want a low CA number, but in these charts, they bars don't represent raw numbers, they represent ranking vs. other players. So Scuderi's CA bar on the chart is really short, which indicates that he ranks very poorly on CA vs. other defensemen, and therefore that his raw CA number would be high.

I think it's supposed to be one of those "wakeup call" scratches for poor play but Johnston's personnel management kind of bugs me. I'm not sure if he's just loving around for the sake of experimentation because the regular season doesn't matter to the Penguins now I guess and the team is mostly healthy so he has the pieces to play around a little, but things like putting Perron on his off-wing so Kunitz can play on the first line when Hornqvist is healthy now, not resting Fleury more, or, well, just letting Zach Sill and Craig Adams play in general don't seem very smart.

I don't think these criticisms are very fair (well, maybe the Fleury one is). Perron explicitly said when he was traded that he's comfortable on both wings, but prefers playing LW (his off side). I would imagine that Perron is happy with the change given that. The other thing is that, while it's gotten better, our forward depth still isn't that great. Who do you play on the 4th line if you sit both Sill and Adams? I mean they're not good hockey players, but that's kinda what most 4th lines are.

I actually really like how Johnston has been coaching overall. He seems to be able to react to stuff way better than Bylsma did, he doesn't seem to make really stupid panic changes like Bylsma (hello putting craig adams on the first line), and most of all, he gives young players a chance to play in important situations. The fact that he gives rookies a chance on the PK is huge for their development, and it's nice to see a coach trust his players in situations like that.
