Thread: Dont see Pulju on the Roster at this Pace
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jassan28</b></div><div>I'd say his progress is decent and he is a solid player but if I had to pick one guy that had to leave to accompany Nurse's massive pay raise, I take Pulju out. Any other player creates a hole on the roster and despite Barrie's name being thrown around for a trade, where will the Oilers ever find such a point-producing offensive D man at his price. Another option That would take an asset to leave to juice up a trade is letting go of the physical presence of Kassian</div></div>

They have the offensive Dman in Bouchard… they need a Right side that is solid defensively. Kassian makes 3.2M… physical presences can be found for 3x less against the cap.

That being said keeping an aging defensive liability &amp; an overpaid plumber who doesn’t give a **** over a 23year old with some of the best underlying numbers on the team would be the Oilers thing to do.

Thread: The correct answer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Link to CSA?

Also, how is that Driedger contract working out for Seattle? And anyways, Driedger had 2 good seasons prior to getting that contract, not just 14 games.

You're taking on a massive risk, not smart with Draisaitl under contract for just 3 more seasons.

Two seasons prior to UFA:
Driedger: +0.442 GSAx/60
Husso: +0.236

Here are Husso' GSAx splits:

All of the 2020-21 season: -0.500 GSAx/60
First 14 games this season: +1.190
Past 13 games this season: +0.230

Driedger's GSAx splits:

2019-20: 12 games, +.790 GSAx/60
2020-21: 23 games, +.450

I certainly wouldn't put too much trust in such a small sample size. You're right about St. Louis' defense being porous, but is yours any better?</div></div>

It’s not working out well for Seattle that’s clear, but you have to take a swing, the crop of FA goalies is pretty weak. As you say Drat has 3 years left and they can’t keep patchworking the position.

GSAx by EvolvingHockey, NST, and Patrick Bacon can be deceiving due to the lack of pre shot movement tracking. Kevin Woodley on Twitter is a great follow for goalie info, he works closely with CSA.
