I dont really think you understand what a coaching change high is. Every team plays better for a 5-8 game period on average after a coaching change before reverting. The idea of something new thats potentially better invigorate ls them for a little while. But then the coach starts implementing their own system and that takes rough 10-15 more games for the team to set it in. The team falls back to their normal in that time and usually starts a very gradual climb as they learn the new system (unless the coaching change is done in the offseason in which they have training camp to learn).
So you're saying more or less neither of our points about JVR's or Petry's perceived value's matter until after the TDL to see if its sticks?
I'm thinking if that was the worry Petry wouldnt have so many suitors
Not sure what JVR's situation is
Petry's worry was he had scored 1 goal since mangling his hand in the payoffs
He's now scored 2 under MSL and had 1 real close call that became an assist im still not sold that was our mans stick it tipped off of
That questions been answered
Playing with a special glove to hold your stick because you cant after NHL Camera Men left their Photographers window open
That's the big concern with Petry combined with his Frustration made it seem like it was over for him he lost his touch
Turns out his Hands fine
RD of his Caliber dont hit the market often
Lesser RD with worse years got more are the TDL
The issue becomes finding a team where the Cap works with a dump or MTL RS
With PHI's JVR rebounding it seems there is only the RS to make it work
This leaves us in a place where trading just doesnt make sense at the TDL
Maybe this summer or later
I guess ill have to rethink a Petry landing spot that works cap wise without RS
