Thread: Another Karlsson trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mk458</b></div><div>Still, as of right now we have 1 top 4 RHD, Larsson. We have both Klefbom and Nurse on the left, not to mention Russel. And sekera will come back at some point, and it's not like his contract is going to be easy to trade. That's way more NHL dmen on the left side than the right</div></div>

EK is a huge step up from Larsson, average ice time for Larsson was 21:56 last year, average ice time for EK was 26:44. Which means 2nd paring RHD which is likely Benning doesnt need to make up TOI, can play a proper ice time while EK is playing an extra 5 mins per game. Sekera is basically on Ference island, when was the last time a 32 year old with 2 major leg injuries even can back to play. He will be on LTIR the remainder of his contract, his legs will never be the same.

Thread: EDM Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sidsoul88</b></div><div>This.

Faulk is a 1/2 pairing D on a lot of teams. Canes aren't sending him off for free. I don't think the Skinner trade is fair comparison for him.</div></div>

Faulk a 1/2? This is whats being said about Faulk

-Carolina has had some questionable goaltending over the years (save 2013 and 2015). If they just received average goaltending over this timeframe, they would have been about 75 goals better – and that’s substantial.

But Faulk’s numbers are even worse. Faulk’s on-ice save percentage is 90.7. That means that in the minutes Faulk has been on the ice, Carolina is 52 goals worse than league average and 27 goals worse than what Carolina could have reasonably expected with their goaltending talent.

About that 90.7 save percentage: It’s the worst number of any defender in the past six years, true by a considerable margin:

Doesnt sound like a 1/2 d man to me....
