Eric the Mauve posted:The Penguins job (GM and coach both, actually) is not one I would want if I were a candidate with options. Light on draft picks, light on youth, light on cap space, heavy on declining, constantly injured veteran stars who will do whatever the gently caress they want and ownership will tie your hands if you displease them, extreme Win Now mandate from stars and owners despite the fact the team appears no better than fringe playoff quality. Failure (in the minds of owners and media) is overwhelmingly likely there. Securing a mid-seed playoff spot and not getting swept in the first round would be a successful season in their current circumstances, but the expectation is going to be Win The Cup. You mentioned it, but the fact that you've got meddling ownership interfering in the day to day hockey affairs is probably the biggest factor if I had to guess. You're either eventually the GM arguing with Mario or you're resigning because of personal reasons.

You can almost see Coburn getting walked around in the defensive zone heatmap.

DeAngelo to Calgary doesn't make much sense and local media says there's nothing to this so I wonder how well DeAngelo's jersey is going to sell in Calgary... there's some of his kind here for sure. Anyway RAS... I haven't seen a game this year so I'm just looking at the stat line but why is Kakko still bad?

Bennett was pretty much mismanaged by the Flames every year after his rookie year... that said he's a good 3rd liner who's haunted by his draft slot. Edit: The fact that Lucic hasn't been healthy scratched ahead of him just shows it.

Shut down the US divisions, bring the surviving teams to Canada so an American team can with the cup on Canadian soil for a change.

I remember thinking early in the MLB season that there was no way they'd finish it... I think NHL players (plural) would have to drop dead on the ice for them to entertain cancelling the season.

I would love Torts and his 4 year shelf life coaching the Flames. They'd have to trade Gaudreau like yesterday, but they're losing him in a year and a half anyway.

Benning deserves another chance and the Oilers really need to extend Mike Smith... dude's rocking a .985... I understand he's older so maybe go short term like 1 year 10 million?

It's eerie how close Crosby and McDavid are points wise... really similar trajectories other than consistently making the playoffs, enjoying success in the playoffs and that silver cup that gets awarded. But otherwise really similar...

I think "likely" is a stretch with that goalie tandem... defensive depth.. winger depth.. but they have a reasonable chance because the North is terrible.

Yeah Tkachuk is broken right now and somehow looks even slower. 21 sog against the Oilers... The "battle" of Alberta last night, that was like watching paint dry. Gawd I hate my mediocre team right now.

Nathan Mackinnon broke this franchise into playing the slowest 5 man breakout horrible rear end transition game I've ever seen. I'd still like to see what this team could do with a real coach, but let's be honest, it's Calgary... The results will be mediocre.
