Sujet: (PIT/DAL) - Palve for Nyberg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>Yeah, I believe that Bill Guerin was the GM of WBS while he was assistant GM for Pittsburgh, before moving to the Wild...

It's just the added depth of the trades with if the guy is good enough for another AHL team to want, how does the original parent NHL team "feel" about it? Is he a call up option being moved for someone that we will never call up? I just think that there might be more discussion put into a trade like this than many NHL-level player trades.</div></div>it's probably the same amount of discussion, just aimed at a different section of the organization. With the level of the players we're talking about in this particular trade, I think the only reason the parent NHL club even got involved was because the players involved were signed to NHL contracts, and, even then, it was probably more of a bureaucratic "hey, sign off on this, pl0xkthxbye" type of conversation.

Mike Vellucci is HC and GM of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He sees that Oula Palve isn't really panning out for his team the way he'd have hoped. At the same time, he's not too happy with his defensive depth. He's had injury issues on defense; Pierre-Olivier Joseph missed a good amount of this season with injuries, I think, so the defense is a bunch of vets (David Warsofsky, Zach Trotman, Kevin Czuczman) and a few other young guys (Niclas Almari, Matt Abt, and Jon Lizotte). The W-B/S Penguins and the Texas Stars were playing a series last week, and so Vellucci probably talked to Scott White, GM of the Texas Stars, and said, "hey, whaddya think about a trade?" like most GMs do. they talked it over, agreed to something, and then each GM contacted the GM of the NHL parent club and got the go-ahead.

Sujet: (PIT/DAL) - Palve for Nyberg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>This is actually the kind of trade that I would like to pick a GM's brain about. Non-NHL prospects.

Did the Penguins contact the Stars saying that they needed some AHL D depth and the Stars had a lot, so what do you want for who? Did the Stars want some AHL F depth and contacted the Penguins?</div></div>I'd presume this sort of thing happens more at the AHL level. The WB/S Penguins and the Texas Stars presumably have GMs that aren't Jim Rutherford and Jim Nill, respectively. They, too, obviously make trades. This probably explains NHL trades of "random guy for 'Future Considerations'"; the guy going the other way is likely on an AHL contract, so they obviously don't pop up in NHL player contract databases.

Sujet: (CHI/DET) - Perlini for Regula
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyplayer1</b></div><div>While I agree with this statement there are other aspects that show his defensive play. I'm sure there are going to be some people on here that berate me for using "an old useless stat" but he has been top 2 on his team in +/- every year hes been in the OHL. He has improved each year in this department and is a +14 through 10 games this year. On top of that his ice time has gone up each year and he is playing against other teams top lines. He is still fairly young too, having an August birthday.
I'm not out here saying this kids all the real deal but he has shown improvements year over year. He is one of the few defenseman in the OHL that can and is willing to play both sides of the puck. Not to mention he's a BIG boy. He is something the Blackhawks have NONE of.</div></div>Well, tbh, trying to read boxcar stats for defenders is difficult to begin with, and, frankly, the OHL's website only lists so much in terms of stats. I would hesitate to make any definitive conclusions about a junior player based on what stats the OHL publicly provides. (As an aside, many of the European leagues do list advanced stats like Corsi, etc. on their websites, which is more helpful for evaluating players if you're, for example, a busy adult with many important things to do that aren't "watch hockey tape all day".)

Sujet: (ARI / CHI) - Schmaltz for Perlini, Strome
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>A healthy Nick Schmaltz to start the year has been huge for the Coyotes. There's a clear vision for how Chayka and Tocchet want this team to play, and Chayka has moved out a lot of the guys who he didn't personally acquire to get that. Schmaltz is a great fit playing either center or wing for the Yotes and he's been very productive offensively to start. Strome was never going to do that in Arizona. Both teams are happy with this deal</div></div>indeed. he had a slow start, but Tocchet said he was shaking off the rust, and he appears to have shaken it off pretty quickly.

I also like that things are starting to fall into place for the Coyotes: the power play, Tocchet's system, getting shots on goal, etc. yesterday's game against the Preds was great in terms of the Coyotes continuing to put shots on goal, even after being up in goals.
