<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Buffalo neeeeds a RD partner who can play good defense and now. The Sabres are IMO a Goaltender and a top 4 DEFENSIVE rd away from being a true contender to make the playoffs, probably are not going to win a cup this year but they can at least get playoff experience.

this is The Athletic's Stanley Cup checklist and i think its pretty accurate. or is it a good start for a team wanting to know if they are cup worthy.
Elite first-line center that’s among the very best players in the world. - Tage Thompson
Elite first-line winger to support the elite center. - <strong>Jeff Skinner when he plays with Tage</strong>
Two other top-line wingers on each of the top two lines. Alex Tuch - Jack Quin
Top-line center to play behind the elite center. - Dylan Cozens
Two more top-six forwards for depth in the middle six. - Peterka - (i with krebs, last year okposo, but right now we are lacking. Savoie, Kulich, Rosen or someone could fill this)
Elite No. 1 defenseman. - Rasmus Dahlin
A second No. 1 defenseman to play behind him. - Owen Power
A top-pairing defenseman to help anchor a strong second pair with the No. 2. - Samuelsson
Another top-pairing caliber defender to crush soft minutes on the third pair. - Jokiharju?? Nope...No one right now, maybe Ryan Johnson next year. Jokiharju could maybe be this in sheltered minutes. (no one in the pipeline)
A top-10 caliber starting goaltender. - Nope, Trade for someone or wait for Levi, UPL, and Portillo to mature.

Skinner being productive? Tage is really <strong>THAT </strong>good

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>That Puljijarvi interview on sports net is rough

“Twenty games in and I have one goal. It’s sad,” Puljujarvi told Finnish journalist Tommi Seppälä, of YLE news agency, on Tuesday evening. “I’ve been thinking a lot how to do things differently. Right now, I just don’t have the answer.”

In a wide-ranging interview with Finland’s national broadcaster, Puljujärvi told the veteran reporter Seppälä that he isn’t sure if the National Hockey League is the place for him anymore. “Of course I’d like to be a productive top-line player,” Puljujärvi said in his native Finnish, as translated by Seppälä. “But right now, it looks like I can't do that in NHL. Maybe some other league.”

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Sklikly how do you like Sergachev this year? I haven't watched many Tampa games but I was predicting a breakout year after the playoffs performance last year. I think he is the major reason they sold McDonough. Statistically looks like he is performing nicely.</div></div>

Sergachev has been better than in prior years, especially considering the increased ice time. He's been excelling offensively, has a great first pass and has been getting time on PP1 over Hedman. Physical with a quick stick but still prone to defensive blunders (see game against Dallas which gifted them a goal which brought the game to OT) that have stopped him really stopped him from really taking that next step into being a No.1 dman. For now, in my opinion he would excel the most in a No.3 dman spot, and is serviceable at his current No.2 spot. He plays his best when he's producing points, which he has been.

Overall his progress is making that extension more reasonable than when it was initially signed in the offseason.


On another note, Perbix has been very impressive.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>A biased Blues fan? No intention to research the model? What are you on about? I'm fully versed on the model for years now, and also versed in probability. This playoff percentage disparity, and how it moves with results depending on the team is so egregiously out of whack with reality. The eight-game losing streak dropped them from 70-something% to 6%. The six-game win streak has bumped them up from 6% to 18%. This is not difficult to see, nor is the overt and open bias Don has repeatedly shown against the Blues. He does love him some Minnesota, though - t<strong>he same team he had as 75% favorites in last spring's playoff series, which the Blues won easily.</strong>

But yeah, you go run along while I sit here and try to figure out what Toronto has to do with any of this, or why you imagine Leafs fan Dom having the Leafs higher than they should be counts as evidence he doesn't thumb the scale. That's just some galaxy brain stuff there.</div></div>

Whether Dom has the Blues at 1% of making the playoffs or 100% if they make the playoffs you're a happy fan. So why are you so damn fired up about some random guys probability chart lol
