<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I saw, specifically in March, some times where he looked defeated or frustrated after a goal if thats what you're referring to. But the Pens were basically the worst defensive team in the league that month - so personally I'll give him the pass on that. Also there was a stretch where a ton of the goals hit off their own players, or defenders were running into Jarry - I think part of it was just shock.

Not sure what you mean by his antics and not being well received though?

I'm not saying Jarry is some elite goalie by the way. I've always had him in that 10-12 range give or take. Whether he's worth the upgrade to a team based on cap hit and what assets you have to give up - that's the million dollar question. I totally understand if people say they'd rather just give a 2mil goalie a shot and see how it goes. Especially for a good team like COL</div></div>

Oh I was talking about Georgiev not Jarry sorry for the confusion. And this is all applicable to Georgiev not Jarry, Breaking sticks, accidentally hitting teammates with his stick, literally letting in a the odd super soft goal. All that and he has been horrendous his last 5 outings, yeah the pk has been bad too, but he gave up 22 goals in his last 5 outings and just looked awful. He really hasn’t been good all year and the team did him no favors running Prosvetov as the back up for half the season over playing him particularly in November December and the first part of January playing him 30 times in that stretch. His QS% and GSAA stats I like to look at are career lows the GSAA is an atrocious -12.1. Good talk my friend!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>Yeah I gotcha - that's what we're here for haha - just throwing out our opinions. Love the conversations.

I mean Jarry would kind of fit that bill though no? If you give the guy average defense he'll drop like a .915. Sure he's not perfect, some injuries and consistency things - but that's what separates the elite from the good. His games started would say that overall he's still a relatively available goaltender as well - probably mid 50 starts a year.

I definitely understand the cap hit point though. Just because a guy is an upgrade doesn't mean he's worth it. That's why I said I'm not saying COL would accept the trade.</div></div>

I mean honestly the answer is going to go one of three ways. 1) Georgiev rights the ship and takes them on a deep run then it’s all moot. All he really has to do is be .900 as COL is the highest scoring team and 5v5 team this year. 2) Georgiev stumbles, Annunen comes in does what he has done so far in the regular season and takes them on a deep run and the solution long term has been solved. 3) they both struggle and the Avs are out in the first or second round and they are looking for a new starter and then anybody including Jarry is an option. Honestly I’ve seen a fair share of games (perk of work the seats are exceptional) in person and he has just look beat after he gives up a goal, and his antics down the stretch are not well received by the team as a whole.

Sujet: How we could line up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I'd be fine with a Monahan signing - as well as the Smith trade. Not the biggest fan of the whole goalie scenario though. It seems a bit steep for Ned - and if we're paying him starter money I'd probably try Blomqvist as the backup to spend money elsewhere. And while I'm not opposed to trading Jarry I'm not the biggest fan of the return - mainly in bringing back Husso. Although I understand the thought process with him only having one year left - and that DET would probably want that cap going back. You've got some extra cap space as well that I'd try to utilize.

EDIT: My bad - forgot to read the description about the last dman and realize there was a hole there haha. Yikes. Ignore my cap comment</div></div>

Hard to move Jarry without taking a goalie back. Obviously, I would like to run Blomqvist, but wouldnt mind one more year.

Sujet: 6 more years of DUBAS and list of things to expect
I'll bite;
1.) Rutherford tried going to toughness route in 2018, it completely destroyed this team. I'd rather outscore the opponent than try to out-muscle them. How is the Reaves signing going Brad?

2.) Karlsson is 81st percentile in xgoals against. He is playing very good defensively. Graves is 57th percentile, not great but passable for 4.5MM and this is his low, he will likely rebound.

3.) Jarry is currently 4th in the NHL in GSAX 5v5. So far so good.

4.) Eller, Acciari, DOC, have all been good signings.

5.) Undersized players can still contribute and be very valuable. I don't get the hate?

6.) Why are you against analytics? It is a great way to understand players in a vacuum but it does disregard emotions (which can be important)

7.) This might be valid. I can't explain why this team isn't winning. They look like Edmonton before the Oilers broke out. There might be too many cooks in the kitchen but that is extremely speculative.

Honestly I'm ok with what is going on. The Pens have 3 cups that I recall watching and 5 in my lifetime. That's more than I can say for basically every other franchise.

Sujet: The Offseason After The Jake Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>The goaltending has obviously been amazing - but you know me - we've had this conversation before haha. I think this is just how good Jarry is. Ned has definitely outplayed expectations though - at least for me. I'm not sure I would say the goaltending counteracts the terrible PP. Although it probably does counter balance their terrible finishing at 5v5 for the most part.

There's nothing stopping them from making Letang the point man though - so that it still falls on coaching. I didn't think EK for Letang would actually make the PP any better either - at least not the top unit - Letang has always been a great point man on the PP. I'm not sure I can blame the PP being THIS bad just on the Karlsson swap though. If you're talking about the EK trade overall, I will still have to disagree there though, it was a good trade. I can't see this team being any better with the players they gave up vs the players they got - and certainly not the PP. Which is their biggest issue. But I understand your complaint is giving up the 1st - still think it was a good trade overall. If the Pens just went out and signed EK as a FA for 10mil, then I would absolutely agree with you that it was a bad move</div></div>

I still think Granlund should have been bought out back in June. Then we could have found a place to offload Rutta, which is hardly the toughest dump to do. Petry could have stayed for this season and I think we’d be right where we are and still have that first.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I really can't decide on if he should go or not personally. It's just a shame because even though I don't necessarily like their style of play, they're actually a pretty good 5v5 team - definitely playoff caliber. And I do think Sully is getting close to the best out of the team at 5v5.

But they are just absolutely costed by the PP. They'd be fighting for 2nd place with an average PP. I don't know how much Sullivan has his hands in the PP(pause), but even if he's not in charge(which he should be), not firing whoever is running it or demanding any changes definitely falls on him</div></div>

Yes the PP has been horrendous, but look at how ridiculously overachieving the goaltending has been and that is a counter balance to the horrible PP stats. The real problem here is ironically the one move where I was getting blasted here, the EK trade upset the PP in particular and the balance of the team. Now that Letang is not the main point man, it has clearly caused issues. I’m not saying the PP has been great before because it’s been a problem before this year and EK was brought in to fix it. However, I think that move was a rather bad one and we lost a 1st rounder we could desperately use in the meantime.
