Patrick Kane should have been ours. CONSPIRACY!

Our second pick was Luke Schenn...

At least we have that comeback against the Bruins. RIP Pronger

Rest in Phoenix?

 

[Foggy]

I read something about Preds-Jackets trade rumors the other day but dismissed it because the site apparently isn't reliable. (I'm still new, I don't know where to look for that kinda stuff lol)

They claimed that the deal is top Preds D-Man+forward (Colin Wilson?) for Johansen+someone else.

Probably Atkinson or Hartnell. I'm going to drink a lot if they give up on Johansen.

If you get Jones, I'd keep the stopper in that bottle. Of course Torts would misuse him anyway, so nevermind.

Even if Jones becomes a bona fide top D, I'd rather have a bona fide #1C, not all the "#1C" that the Cock Boss clutches to. Some very good defense in the pipeline but not center-wise. Besides, everyone knows Edmonton is getting Matthews.

 

[Pikma]

Vicious hot takes too. I may have to bow out.



Oh god, which bandwagon fan are you?!

A Kings fan talking about bandwagon fans

WOW

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I don't see Shea Going to Columbus. It's more likely Josi or Jones

I would never give up Josi or Jones. Josi is 25, Jones 21. They are the future (Weber is 30) of their blueline, and a stud defenceman is harder to come by than a scoring forward.

Johansen is 23 with a 33 goal season under his belt already, but is struggling this year with only 6 goals. He reminds me a bit of a healthier Evander Kane.

It's a tough trade. I think Jones' shot at being a number one D is better than RyJo being unquestionable number one C. D men typically have more graceful aging curves too. He is RFA next year, so you could buy all of his prime years with an 8 year contract and he could peak in the mid to later years of the contract.

WOW

Is sarcasm new to you?

Leafs players hogging the spotlight as usual

Leafs players hogging the spotlight as usual

Dat chart tho

 

[Kave_Man]

This all makes sense to me.

 

[Simon Belmont]

All I'm getting from that is red is bad and blue is good.

 

[Samyy]

This all makes sense to me.

Red = bad
Blue = good

The more red you have the worse you are, and the more blue you have the better!
So the Leafs have both the worst performing goalie based on that particular metric and the best hence zroids comment about Leafs players hogging the spotlight!

Oh and zroid is that looking at an average and the distribution from the average for each goalie?

 

[MultiJhonny]

Cool both Mason and Neuvirth are blue.

 

[zroid]

Oh and zroid is that looking at an average and the distribution from the average for each goalie?

Yeah, adjGSAA is adjusted goals saved above average. Per 60 mins at 5v5.

 

[anexanhume]

All I'm getting from that is red is bad and blue is good.

Here's the post introducing it: http://www.blueshirtbanter.com/anal...improving-comparative-analysis-tools-can-help

Basically, equalize things like shot location and focus only on 5v5 to get as apples to apples as you can. I also like the xG (xSV%) metric from @DTMAboutHeart

 

[Curufinwe]

Luke Schenn to the Kings (C3).

 

[Pikma]

Lehtonen, Travis Moen and a bloody horse head for Reimer

Deal?

 

[Pikma]

Hey Kave did you do something to your hair? You look cute

Hey Kave did you do something to your hair? You look cute

 

[Yawnier]

The BJs and Torts need a defenseman that will block shots

Europeans like Josi and Ekholm won't do that. The BJs need a good ontario kid like Ryan Ellis to do it.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Sounds as if LA and PHI have something done. Hearing Luke Schenn L.A. bound. Possibly Lecavalier too? Stay tuned.

Amazing if Philly somehow gets out of that contract.

EDIT: THEY DID

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Lecavalier and L Schenn to L.A. Further details to come.

 

[MetatronM]

Luke Schenn to the Kings (C3).

And Lecavalier.

 

[anexanhume]

WTF Lombardi.

 

[Quick]

I feel a kindred spirit with the Habs right now, in that we briefly shared the same number of losses, now they have more.

Bless this mess.

On another note: Firefox on my work computer isn't displaying Twitter images embedded on GAF. How do I fix this?

 

[zroid]

Holy shit :lol

Flyera get Weal and a 3rd

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

3rd pick and a dude named Weal going back.

 

[Quick]

DAT TRADE.

Congrats, Flyers-GAF.

 

[MetatronM]

Flyers are retaining salary, apparently. Don't celebrate just yet.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

LOL KINGS

 

[MultiJhonny]

Holy shit sexy Hexy! Holy fuck he got rid of Vinny!

 

[Curufinwe]

I think I'm dying of happiness.

 

[Samyy]

Wait wut

 

[zroid]

Hextall is a wizard

 

[Yawnier]

Luke Schenn's grit per 60 is off the charts. He will fit in with the kings

 

[Pikma]

It's a very late christmas miracle for the Flyers

 

[Zombie James]

I'm not sure who got fleeced here.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hextall went to the same Magic School as Bergevin.

Now time to Pry Simmonds from the Flyers while they aren't looking

 

[Curufinwe]

Flyers are retaining salary, apparently. Don't celebrate just yet.

That's fine, though. We were ready to buy Vinny out.

16-17: $2.9m cap penalty
17-18: $2m
18-19: $916K
19-20: $916K

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The brother power up dynamic is ruined.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Man what the fuck, Kings get out of cap hell just to get back in it. Wow.

 

[MetatronM]

It's a very late christmas miracle for the Flyers

It's Orthodox Christmas today!

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

I FUCKING LOVE RON HEXTALL

 

[MultiJhonny]

I wish I was at my computer so I could overload this with Flyers win gifs....

IN HEXTALL I TRUST

PRAISE BE!!

OUR HEXTALL, WHO ART IN LUXURY SUITES.

HALLOWED BE THY NAME

THY FLYERS COME, THY TRADES BE DONE

ON ICE AS IT IS DONE IN THE FRONT OFFICE

FORGIVE OUR DRUNKENNESS AND FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE NOT DRUNKEN WITH US

LEAD US NOT INTO LOSING SEASONS BUT DELIVER US FROM THE PENGUINS

AMEN

[zroid]

Babby Schenn will get traded to Toronto now to complete the thread

 

[lamaroo]

Congrats FlyersGAF

 

[Curufinwe]

 

[ZeroGravity]

Flyers retaining 50% of both contracts.

 

[imBask]
