Thread: Demko Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>I'm judging him based off of both. In the past, Jarry and Demko have had very similar careers, very similar numbers. I care so much about those 15 games because that's how he's played recently and the Pens are absolutely in win-now mode. That alone makes Jarry more valueable than Demko *to Pittsburgh*. If they're going to have a shot at the playoffs, let alone another deep run with this core, they need someone who's good *now*. Demko is usually elite. He isn't right now, bad defense or good defense. And Jarry is. Why should we take Demko and hope he returns to form rather than keep Jarry, who's still playing at an elite level?</div></div>
Because Demkonat his best is better than Jarry at his best. A team in the Penguins situation might have to take a risk like that if they want another shot

Thread: Demko Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>I didn't propose this trade. I'm not the one who published this ACGM.

And I know that save percentage isn't always the best tool to measure a goalie's performance. But discarding it entirely, especially with the delta between the two save percentages being as high as it is, is foolish. How about this then: via Evolving-Hockey out of all goalies to have faced 600+ shot attempts this season, Jarry has saved 9.21 GSAx (15th). Demko's GSAx is -11.35 (50th).

And yeah, your defense sucks. Ours isn't great. In terms of shots against/60 (again via Evolving-Hockey), the Pens and 'Nucks are neck and neck at 7th and 8th worst (Pens let up ~0.4 shots more/60). In xG against/60, Pittsburgh is in the bottom half. The Pens' defense is average at best.

We're being bouyed by Jarry being stellar and a top 6 that can outscore our problems on occasion. The best goalies can steal games. Jarry does that for us a lot this season. I'd argue the Islanders and Predators are in a similar position, only a little more exaggerated. Demko clearly hasn't.</div></div>
Yeah sure judge Demko off a 15 game tough sample size, not the two previous years of eliete goaltending

Thread: Boeser Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>First off, it's not really so that the Canucks are swimming in cap space.
It's been heavily reported that the Canucks are looking to move Boeser's cap without expecting much of value coming back to them, why else would they allow Boeser's agent / representation to reach out to other teams asking how he'd fit into their rosters.

Boeser is (and always has) produced at a decent rate, but he is still getting heavily outscored, outchanced and outshot at 5v5.
The Canucks are paying a very heavy price for the points Boeser is putting up, and I don't mean that in terms of cap hit but in that Boeser is responsible for giving up more goals against than he facilitates for the Canucks.
The question really isn't whether Boeser's overall game (good and bad) is worth half his cap hit, it's whether he is worth anything it all, let alone a 2nd and and NHL ready RHD in Walsh.</div></div>
The fact that Boesser is getting out chanced and outscored shouldn’t be an indictment of his play. It’s a result of his environment. Everyone on the team not named Petterson is also being outchanced.
