Some pretty sobering numbers for some of these guys. Not sure how the numbers compare to other teams.

Where's the Rosetta Stone to make sense of all the %'s?  I'll guess higher %'s (blue cell) is best, while the lower %'s and red cell = bad.  I'll guess Time on Ice is a total score by player.  Boldy is second all you haters.  Let's stop talking about trading Boldy + prospect + 1st for Alex Fucking Tuch.

Not suprised Foligno and the Russian Rag Ass are on slide #2.  Little surprised Hartzy is so low.  I know we all hate Hartzy right now, I just thought he was more effective.

Thanks for sharing this Strife.  I've tried to go to Reddit for threads on various topics but the site is such a pain to navigate I give up.  Keep the Reddit deep cuts coming.

The slides are based on their dispatch in the lineup, not their overall stats.  Ragging on Foligno or Trenin though when you see the defensive and physical play...

If Kaprizov isn't 100% sure he's signing his retirement deal, i say trade him to the highest bidder at this year's trade deadline. Where is the playoff beef Rossi can go play east coast hockey as far as I'm concerned.

If you offer sheet for 8 and it isn’t matched, you lose a first, second and third.  Anything over 6.87 is the same.

Would that be a bad thing?  Seriously you get a point per game player who is 23.  Instantly he is top line material.  A bottom of the first round pick and a second would never give you that next year.  Suddenly you have Boldy, Rossi, Kaprizov, Yurov, Valardi, Ohgren, as your top forwards.  I would gladly give up a first in order to have that over the next five to six years.

I think he will be 26 in August.  So far this has been his best year with 51 points in 56 games.  Has had a lot of injuries too.  Never know though.

26 is still better than 55 year old Brock Nelson, or lazy Brock Boeser.

I see Kush as a second line center next year. He is building confidence handling the puck. He just doesn't have anyone to play with on the 4th line. I'd like to see him play top 6 minutes.

Unless he really finds a way to start finishing he's not going to crack the top 6. He's a great bottom 6er, PKer and energy guy but he doesn't have the finishing ability to be top6. I could see him cracking top 6 & getting PP minutes if he can get to 55%+ on the dot, that would be a huge asset we do not currently have in the top6.

For the folks that think Kap is out, where is a realistic destination where he can be afforded that is any closer to a cup than the Wild.

I personally don't think he's going anywhere. Superstars don't always jump ship and chase the next (seemingly) best destination.  

 

Too many fragile "fans" around here that have to assume the worst so the losses don't hurt so much.

I'd rather see them bring Granlund back over Nelson. They should also be going after Ehlers before even thinking about Boeser.

Not everyone hates Hartzy 'P'Drizzle. I'm still on the bandwagon.
