Sujet: Gearing up for playoff run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bjsherman66</b></div><div>You're wrong. Malkin has a -0.5 relative Corsi, which really isn't bad. Johnson's, however, sits at -6.1. That's a huge difference. His 3.6 GA/60 is also the second most out of all defenseman on the active roster (Ruhwedel's is 3.8) His 2.1 GF/60 is also the third worst among defenseman on the team (Riikola and Ruhwedel bellow him). His expected +/- is by far the worst, sitting at -4.2 with Sheahan next at -1.7. While you <em>might</em> be right that he's been starting to play better, that doesn't excuse the fact that he's been terrible for the majority of the season.</div></div>

Well of course it’s going to take a while to fit in with a team. But sure trade him while he starts getting good. It’s ridiculous. He’s been solid period. All the advanced stats might be there but his job is to be solid on the back and make a good first pass. That’s what he does.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MajesticWalrus</b></div><div>Pysyk has 2 more years and costs nearly a million more than hunwick. Hunwicks contract would be over after this upcoming season. So since FLA is giving the bigger dump, they can be the ones to compensate for it. Take jarry out of there.</div></div>

You didn’t do your homework obviously, and gave a bad rating as a result. Hunwick and Pysyk both have 2 years left on their deals, and although Pysyk has 200,000 more to his contract, he’s a 26 year old, RHD (what JR is looking for), and logs a good amount of minutes and does pretty well. It would be a substantial upgrade to the D. Hunwick is close to 34 years old. We also get a second back. Jarry could be more expensive, but maybe then add in like a Jared McCann for a 4L centre.

Sujet: If Kessel leaves...
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>Trochek isn’t an upgrade over Kessel. When trading a player like Kessel you aren’t looking for an upgrade and the only way you trade him is if you believe you have a replacement in place already. Doesn’t mean an upgrade. Not many players in the league would be an upgrade over Phil. We are lookin for a more complete team. Why trade him for a downgrade and no help elsewhere? You are literally trading for a downgrade, throwing in a 2nd and a prospect for a 1st. That doesn’t make sense to do. Might as well just keep Kessel for that.</div></div>

That was the whole point of this page, if Kessel were to go we would need to find a cheaper fit to plug back in. Otherwise there is not point in trading him. Getting a bottom six player and bottom six d man and a couple picks is useless for a trade with him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>We don’t need a RW back. That’s one reason the pens are willing to trade him in he first place. The essentially have a cheaper and younger Kessel in their eyes with Sprong. And they have a ton of RW depth in the system. Hornqvist, Sprong, Rust, Sheary, Kuhnhackl, Simon, Rowney, ZAR can all play right wing and the pending free agents are all cheap lol. They need LW help and a 3rd pair RD so they can get Letangs minutes down now that he is getting older.

The AZ trade is just pointless for AZ to do. They are taking on a cap dump and retaining salary on their starter and giving up Domi. All they get is Jarry in this deal that’s worth anything and he isn’t much of an upgrade over Raanta right now</div></div>

Until Sprong or Simon or Sheary can put up 92 points in a season and make this team better by replacing Kessel, we need a better RW in return.
