Thread: Top 50 Players Each Position
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>how so? Identical production but Pettersson was given much more PP time, no PK time, and more offensive deployment. Aho plays all situations and was given less offensive deployment while still having better possession numbers. imo Aho &gt; Pettersson</div></div>

Pettersson beats Aho in nearly every GAR category. EVD, EVO, total GAR. Aho plays on the PK not because he's good defensively, and boy is he bad at defense. He's on it so there's a threat to score a shorty. That's it. You play at all situations? Cool! How well you perform is what actually matters. Aho didn't perform well on the PK, was negative in SHD, and Pettersson once again beats him in PPO. Not to mention the better xGF%, GF%, HDCF%.

Thread: What is the plan with the Minnesota Wild moving forward?
The Minnesota Wild, a team that is good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to go far. Mediocrity, a hellish purgatory for any NHL team. They are locked into the albatrosses of contracts of Ryan Suter and Zach Parise. There was talk about sending Parise to the Islanders, and that trade will be re-visited this summer, but it will take a lot of finessing with the cap. The recapture penalties on those two are not good either, so the Wild must wait them out, and pray both of them don't retire early. This team should be rebuilding right now, but they are too good to get a top pick in the draft, and not good enough to go far into the postseason. Their position is what no NHL team wants to be in, close, but not close enough. There will be a lot of decisions to make this summer, the biggest being the future of this franchise and its direction. Do they go all in, or do they try to blow everything up? They have been good this season, with great underlying metrics and a fantastic defensive system, but Dubnyk and Stalock haven't been able to stop a beach ball, being the worst tandem in the NHL. Perhaps a good goalie could push them further, or do they lack the talent to do some damage down the road. Dumba is being dangled as possible trade bait, and Brodin has had his name thrown out there a bit. Bill Guerin may be trying to do a retool, not a rebuild, but not an all-in push. This will be interesting to see how he handles the state of the team.

Thread: (MIN/PIT) - Zucker for Galchenyuk, Addison, 2020 1st round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jasondomitrovic</b></div><div>Penguins get their guy for RIGHT NOW and with manageable term going forward. Addison will be good but not for a few years. Bye Bye Gally and his 4.9 cap. Zucker on a line with Crosby!!! It will be a late first round pick so no big deal. Penguins can trade away players and get back into the first round and early if they want to. Welcome to the Burgh Jason Zucker!</div></div>

Sure it will be a late first, but have you seen how stacked this draft is? Widely regarded as challenger to 2015 or 2003 for the best draft of all time. That late first could snag a potentially elite player. Addison will be a top 4 D, and I get that all those are futures, but after some key contracts are up for the Penguins, they have no futures or prospects to rely on. This trade could've been done with Galchenyuk, Addison and a 4th, but Jim Rutherford went senile again.

Thread: I want DeAngelo but I dont want to give up Tuch
Vegas would take Tuch over Tony D any day of the week, or at least I would. Sure, Tony D has been great offensively this year, but saying he's been awful in the defensive zone would be an understatement. Might as well be a forward instead of a defenseman. Tuch is a great middle six forward, with potentially defenseman-burning speed. We need defenseman that are actually good in their own zone, not another glorified traffic cone in the defensive zone. Rangers are also asking way too much for Georgiev, a goalie who is has been above-average, but that's pretty much it. If you traded a 1st for a backup goalie, you would be fired on the spot, and don't even with Georgiev being young, as he only has fringe starter potential, MAYBE full-time starter potential.
