Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xercuses</b></div><div>No way The wild protect talbot over Kahkonen when they can get a veteran in FA
Krill wont be getting 10 he said they reason he rejected a 8X8 is because he wants more of a 8x5 as he sees himself as a future 10 mil player it wasnt the money it was the term
And Granlund started out with the wild as a center anyway thats where he played his best hockey was a center
but you are probably more in the know about the wild then me</div></div>

If Grandlund was a true center then why was he a wing when he left the wild and has been a wing the whole time away.
Talbot on the open market after the season he just had would command over 5.5 mil per yr. We have him at a steal at 3.2 for another 2 years. Seattle would take Talbot for sure if we exposed him. He is a true #1 goalie. Kappo is still young and unproven. He looked awesome for a while but down the stretch he fell apart. Yes its a gamble but the three that will be exposed will be Rask, Kappo, and Carson. Seattle will take Carson.
The wild has already come back with a counter offer to Krill somewhere in the neighborhood of 7.5-8.5 per yr at like 3-5 years he has said no to that also. Which is why it has led me to believe 8.75-10 mil per will be what he signs for.

Thread: Who is better than Nurse
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>At 5v5 scoring, Nurse is a top defenseman.

2017-18: 24 (20th in the NHL)
2018-19: 27 (15th)
2019-20: 26 (7th)
2020-21: 4 (15th)

This year he's taken a distinctive step forward defensively and in his decision making both with and without the puck - and it shows. Here are the 26 defensemen listed above and their GF% rel and xGF% rel so far this year:

Slavin: +37.78 / +10.88
Makar: +32.22 / +20.46
Chabot: +25.88 / +6.91
Hamilton: +20.00 / -0.10
Pulock: +18.55 / +16.32
Nurse: +17.09 / +6.66
Ekman-Larsson: +6.67 / -10.28
Theodore: +5.45 / +7.03
Burns: +3.57 / -1.33
Heiskanen: +1.21 / +3.16
Doughty: +0.76 / +6.30
Klingberg: 0.00 / -3.22
McAvoy: -0.39 / +8.95
Provorov: -1.21 / -3.19
Weber: -1.23 / +6.68
Pietrangelo: -5.45 / -14.17
Ekblad: -5.56 / +4.23
Karlsson: -6.39 / -17.84
Parayko: -11.57 / -8.96
Carlson: -13.92 / -4.78
Hughes: -17.02 / -9.85
Werenski: -17.14 / -2.70
Jones: -18.75 / -14.95
Ellis: -20.78 / +1.95
Morrissey: -22.65 / -3.49
Hedman: -23.23 / -5.40
Josi: -32.39 / +7.40

Nurse is 6th in GF% rel and 9th in xGF rel. Tiny sample size I know, but it does give some indication how well he's been playing this year.[/quote

What D in the league is measure on just 5v5 stats? Does he do PP does he do PK. His stats are terrible when your captain is off the ice. Thats like me making the argument that since Brodin is #1 defensive D in the league that makes him the best in the NHL.</div></div>

Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Cam Talbot (3 Years / $3,666,667 AAV)
What i would guess the majority of the people who voted no don't understand are the advanced metrics that prove how bad Al and Dubs were. On goals that were shots that almost all goalies should save they were the worst and the second worst goalies in the league. The wild have a top 5 d-core in the league metrics wise for goaltending. Now Talbot is a top 12 goalie with that same statistic and with the wild D in front of him he is a well above average goalie. Now if we would of had him during the season than Duby we win probably 6-8 more games and would of stood a better chance in the playoffs. Yes Duby was great for us but he has lost his edge and reports also show that when the re-start happened he was terribly out of shape and overweight. If you can't be ready to go for a playoff push then its time to move on. Also Its going to be Cam and Kappenen in the nets and Al will more than likely be in Iowa being a mentor to Hunter Jones.
