Rangers have never had a first overall, right? I don't think Calgary, Dallas, Arizona, or Vancouver have either. I think everyone else in the lottery has done it before.

ThinkTank posted:The team now doesn't have a GM or coach, and the players publicly expressed bewilderment that the owner conducted exit interviews with them. He's trying to hire replacements for pennies on the dollar. In a small industry with a relatively stable collection of high level employees, being known as the cheap rear end who interferes is a surefire way to end up with a group of third rate executives under your employ. I agree that the owner is making a hilarious mess of things I'm just saying Peters did miss 4 years in a row and that's enough/should be enough to get any coach fired.

Jamwad Hilder posted:Nothing really, but he didn't necessarily do anything right either. The team is just average. I really badly wanted either of them when they were UFAs. Shero offered for both but the Pens kinda dodged a bullet there although Parise/Crosby would have been fun for a few years at least. Parise in his prime would have been the absolute perfect winger to Crosby. They skate/play similarly. It's actually kinda scary. He looks like a Crosby brother or some poo poo.

I liked Malkin finishing that game against the Flyers after loving up his leg and then naturally straight to the IR the rest of that series/game 1 vs Caps.I don't know why trainers/coaches let guys play through poo poo. Couturier too. Torn MCL or whatever. Why not just sit him the rest of that series? The Flyers weren't gonna win the Cup even if they miraculously got by Pittsburgh.

Congrats Caps fans. It was a long time coming. Pens ran out of gas and had some injuries. The rest will be good for them. For off season moves...I dunno. The roster when healthy is still pretty good. I'd consider moving Letang for a less mistake prone top 4 dman and especially if they could get some young assets/cap space out of it but there's also an argument for keeping him. Mistake prone or not he still drove possession better than any other Pens d.

ThinkTank posted:Does one bad series against the Caps really spell the end of Letang? The guy still had 50pts and was nearly a PPG in the playoffs. He had some defensive lapses, but cmon. I don't know, but to echo what Sharks said Letang did have horrible gaffes all year long. Don't think all the things he brings are easily replaced though, so it'd have to be a ransom if they did move him.

cenotaph posted:IMO, we should definitely trade the 51 point, 55% corsi defenseman that plays 25 minutes every game. His on-ice save percentage being dead last on the Pens among their defense despite that either implies terrible luck or Letang being an idiot. Or somewhere in between.

Well, Stuart, I made it- despite your directions. Ah. General Manager Peter Chiarelli. Welcome. - I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable goaltending performance. Yeah. *lets in five goals* Oh, egads! My goals against is ruined. But what if I were to wear bigger pads and disguise it as my own goaltending style? Delightfully devilish, Stuart. Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The owner's gonna need his medication when he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Stuart! General Manager, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves near the goalcrease. Isometric exercise. Care to join me?

Sharks Eat Bear posted:Hypothetically what would the pens have to get in return to make trading Phil kessel worth it? I guess a defenseman but I don't know why they'd want to trade him. He just scored 90 points, he's got an excellent cap hit, and they've got him for a few more years. Maybe Mike Sullivan hates him like every other coach has, but that hasn't gotten in the way of them winning two cups with him and him being a very productive player.

Kessel is super important for the powerplay and I could see it struggling without him. Despite having Crosby/Malkin Phil is actually the quarterback. Sid plays more down low and Malkin is often a triggerman.

Zodijackylite posted:Yeah but you're using obsolete metrics like goals, not future stats like GARCH. The ole eye test. The PP can be good without him. It was in the past. But it has been best in the league and awesome in the playofs with him and I'd hate to lose that. But I guess we're gonna trade him because Sullivan like every other coach can't stand him. Dumb. At least we won two cups before GMJR decided to panic and overreact. Or maybe it's all bullshit. Oy vey. But Friedman confirmed it so there's something there.

grack posted:My takeaway is that the Penguins are attempting to sell high on Kessel - his production is great, but his underlying numbers are worrisome and he's getting to the age where a lot of players drop off offensively. I just don't like it unless the return is overwhelming. They're going to be the Canucks in a few years anyways, might as well try and win Cups now instead of worrying about what type of player Kessel will be near the end of his contract. Unless they do something whacky like trade Kessel and sign Tavares or Carlson with the cap space. I guess that would make them better. Seems unlikely though.

Sharks Eat Bear posted:Do you think an overwhelming return is realistic? What would that look like for you in terms of actual players? Agree that trading away the cap hit to sign someone else is probably not gonna happen I dunno. I'd guess a "good" return would be a top 4 defenseman who doesn't carry an obscene cap hit, and maybe a top 9 LW. High ask though.

Scouting goaltenders is really goddamn hard to do because it's all the tougher to tell how their success in juniors/minors will translate to the NHL, if it will at all. Matt Murray had like an 894 save percentage in his draft year, then 920+ from then on out until this year. Goalies are voodoo.
