If he still wants to contend the pens may trade Karlsson.

All joking aside the Penguins have been excellent this year from a nerdie perspective. Goaltending might be rough tho.

Meh, going 2-4 with everyone healthy is a bad, bad sign for them. 5th in xG is nice and all, but this roster should be good when everyone is healthy and fresh. Their problem is going to be keeping it all together when Gino, Karlsson, Letang, etc are all missing some of their customary 20-30 games a year to injury at the same time.

They need to be banking wins for when that happens.

The Graves-Letang pairing hasn't been great. Not sure how hard they're riding on them for the toughs.. too lazy to look in that much detail. The big guys are carrying them mostly. Reilly Smith has been quite good too. He's looking like a nice pickup. And Eller is more than holding his own as the 3C. Hard to know who's gonna score in the bottom 6 tho. 4th line getting caved. 3rd d pair crushing it. So a lot like the Leafs really in many ways.

Not even sure I can properly articulate how happy it’d make me if Dubas’s Pens finished near the top of the xG% Cup standings but then missed the playoffs.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Not cool wishing bad things for The Dubas Family.

Think of the children.

I think Calgary is going to implode and tre will pick a dman and possibly a true third line c with retention
Hanafin, Anderson, weeger
Backlund, Lindholm kadri

This is if they decide to blow it up.

Throw in vladar as well for samsonov

Are you the guy with the weird Vladar hard on?

The problem in dealing with Calgary is that most the deals are kind of digusting or expiring at the end of this year.

All roads lead to Connor Murphy

Sheldon Keefe: "The Gregor - Holmberg - Reaves line was the best our 4th line has been in any of the games we've played."

 

[leafman101]

That’s not saying much.

[trujaysfan]

Did the around the league thread get moved?

Not sure, I saw it posted after the last game and assumed he was referring to that, but wouldn’t be able to find it now to check. It was just this quote that passed by on my feed.
