Thread: next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>That’s typically what you do with bad contracts. The value only comes when Detroit retains on them but that eats up one of the three slots for multiple years.


Being a little dramatic.</div></div>

Yeah but Detroit doesn’t really have many bad contracts left after this year. Would just have Nielsen, Dekeyser, and Panik. And only Nielsen and Dekeyser are worth doing it next year. Then panik the year after next. Heck you don’t even have to flip Zucker right away. He plays better as the main guy on the line. Even on a “down” year this year he is still on pace to be around 20 goals and 40 points in a full season. I’d bet the wings could get a solid return for that production making only 2.75 million per year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>You say he almost had the 4th most even strength Ice time like that’s a good thing. Meanwhile there were only 5 defencemen playing the game... if he’s getting extra time on the power play that would put him even with everyone else you say gets special teams time over him, meaning there should be as even of a playing as you’re probably going to get. Yet he’s still last 🤔 Ceci didn’t have a partner and Sully still managed to give him more ice time even strength and overall than Pettersson.

If you think that’s how protection lists work then that’s all I need to know haha. Enjoy your day and your 5th defenceman (until Matheson gets back and bumps him down again).</div></div>

Except you’re wrong in every way as usual. There were 6 defensemen playing in the game. Ceci did have a partner. I mean I watched the game and when Matheson got hurt with only a couple minutes left in the 2nd period, he still got rotated in with a partner. I understand you don’t actually watch the game and probably should try another sport so you wouldn’t know how hockey works. If he gets extra time on the powerplay, then that will obviously take from some of his even strength time. And just an FYI Ceci and Pettersson had almost the same amount of even strength time, while Letang, Dumo, and Marino had similar even strength time.
Yep, clearly you don’t understand how expansion works. I could tell you were new to hockey but must have just started watching this year. Ask anyone on this site. Teams can either protect 7 forwards, 3 defensemen, 1 goalie or 8 total skaters and 1 goalie. Everyone close to the team and covers the team even says the pens are going to protect Letang, Dumoulin, and Pettersson as the 3 defensemen. It doesn’t surprise me with how you lack hockey knowledge that you don’t understand the expansion draft rules. And I don’t know what Ceci has to do with this...however Pettersson got the 3rd most even strength minutes today. Weird how the supposed 6th defenseman jumped to 3rd with only 1 d injury. 🤷‍♂️

Thread: 2021-22 PENS
I think this is pretty solid...however I think Poulin and Legare are untouchable. I think Riikola for them to take Zucker is fair. I mean Zucker is still a much better option than most of what will be available. I’d also do without the Carter trade and Danault signing. Mostly because I doubt Danault wants to be a 3C. I think he wants to go somewhere that he can be a top 6. If Danault signed a 1 yr deal somewhere else, Malkin went back to russia after his current deal, then I could see the pens going after Danault. So we’d essentially need Carter for next year and since he has been great, don’t see a need to trade him either. I also think a 4 year deal for Blueger for 2-2.5 mil is more fair for him. And it keeps that ZAR-Blueger-Tanev line together and they become free agents all at once. After those minor tweaks, I feel everything would be perfect.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Yet he still ended up playing the least even strength and overall with Matheson being hurt 🥱 Might as well just drop it dude, you tried to hop on it after a period and he just ended up exactly where he's always been after a full 60 😂😂</div></div>

Except you’re wrong in every way as usual. He ended up taking Matheson’s spot on the powerplay getting a minute and half of powerplay time. So of course that would effect his even strength time. Fun fact: he only lost his even strength advantage over Ceci due to having to play on the Tom Wilson penalty he had at least the 4th most even strength ice time the whole game up until the last 5 minutes. Even when Matheson was in, MP had more ice time than he did. And MP was one of the dmen out there to end the game and hold the fort. Weird they’d let the “number 5 or 6 dman” do that 🤔. I get it though. It’s a hard concept if you don’t understand hockey...or at least watch the pens and pick up on how Sully uses his defensemen in certain situations. I mean everybody that doesn’t jump on the pens need a whipping boy express, knows the pens are going to protect Letang, Dumo, and MP in expansion. Weird how they’d protect their number 6 dman over 2 “better” dmen 🤔

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Dude YOU'RE the one that was trying to use even strength ice time to justify his value. Everyone and their mother knows Letang is more valuable than Matheson and the TOI reflects that. It does the opposite for Pettersson. You can't have it both ways. When the game is on the line he's the one not getting played. Do these look like numbers that say top 4?

Tonight he played 12:32, least out of anyone even at even strength and no special teams time.
On the 27th against Boston he played 14:13, least out of anyone at even strength and no special teams time.
On the 25th against Boston he played 15:24, least out of anyone at even strength and no special teams time.
Before that against Jersey he played 14:18 which put him a whopping 7 seconds above last at even strength and the last overall with no special teams time.

You tried to say that he averages the 4th most even strength ice time and that's what makes him your 4th defenceman. I gave you the season averages which have him dead last and you tried to refute that by saying injuries skewed the numbers earlier in the season. Yet here we are looking at his most recent games and he's bottom of the barrel. So much so that he has averaged the least amount of total toi and even strength toi in the last 5 games to go along with his abysmal season averages. Keep in mind that the that he doesn't get minutes when the game actually matters or when matchups are taken into account is actually what should be jumping out at you the most. If him getting phased out was a one off then the numbers would reflect that when averaged, whether over the last 5 games or over the season.... but they dont.

Also fun fact: Ceci and Matheson are listed pretty much everywhere as your second pair.</div></div>

Also fun fact: you’re wrong on every level. 👍

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>If youre making excuses about injuries and the stats over the whole season then explain the last 5 games. Why has be played he played the least in even strength and total toi every single game?</div></div>

That’s easy...because that’s not factual at all. 4/20/21 vs the devils he had the 4th most even strength ice time among dmen, 4/22/21 vs the devils he had the 3rd most even strength ice time among dmen, 4/24/21 vs the devils he had the 5th most even strength ice time among dmen, 4/25/21 vs Boston and 4/27/21 vs Boston he had the least even strength ice time among defensemen. Fun fact 4/22/21 vs the devils, Matheson had the most even strength ice time and Letang had the 4th most even strength ice time. Do you really think Matheson is better than Letang or even played better than Letang in that game specifically? No. The thing with Sully is there are a lot of factors that go into players ice time. Score, matchups, etc

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Except the difference is you're straight up wrong haha. Just because Pettersson's most common partner is Marino doesn't mean he's your 4th defenceman. Since apparently you don't have time or want to give the effort to actually look at the even strength toi I'll give it to you here.

Letang 19:47
Dumoulin 19:21
Matheson 17:45
Marino 17:30
Ceci 15:52
Pettersson 15:19

He averages the least toi even strength and you said yourself that he doesn't get special teams time. He's also the least productive defenceman on the team at 0.15 points per game. That's your 6th defenceman. The stats are what makes that true.</div></div>

Except you’re wrong. That does make him the 4th defenseman. If Marino is the 3rd defenseman, then his partner is also a top 4 D, which makes him the 4th defenseman. And you’re using total season average time on ice which is skewed due to injuries when Matheson was early on in the season paired with Marino playing over 20 minutes per game. Sully has since ended that clusterf*ck of an idea. Now with everyone healthy, Matheson plays 15-18 minutes per night including 2-3 minutes of powerplay time.
The reason MP doesn’t get special teams time and doesn’t have high point totals is because he is one of 3 defensive defensemen. Of course he won’t score as many points as offensive and two way dmen. And of course he isn’t going to get powerplay time. Letang and Marino are the biggest investments and get both PP and PK time. That leaves the only other offensive option (Matheson) to get the remaining PP time as the pens don’t use 2 dmen on both units. Dumoulin and Ceci get the bulk of the PK time. So obviously no room for MP. That doesn’t make him any less of a defenseman. Just makes the pens deeper.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>You can say that he's a top 4 defenceman on your team but that doesn't make it true. He consistently plays the least amount of minutes of any dman on the team. Pettersson has averaged 16:24 TOI this year meanwhile Matheson has averaged 18:17 TOI. He plays the least out of any of the regular defenders.... he's your #6 and Ottawa wouldn't want him at the term and dollars he's at clogging up the left side.</div></div>

He plays the 4th most even strength minutes. Matheson consistently gets 2-4 minutes of power play time. Ceci consistently get 3-6 minutes of short handed time. Pettersson gets no special teams time. So yes he is the number 4 defenseman. John Marino, his partner gets the 3rd most minutes among the defensemen. Therefore, Pettersson would have to be the number 4 defenseman. You can say he is the 6th d but that doesn’t make it true.
