Thread: Pens 2024-2025
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I'm not opposed to taking a chance on Smith but that would very limit our ability to upgrade our defense with Roy or Pesce. If Raymond gets 7.7, Seider 8.7, Kane 6, then sign a solid bottom 6 forward like Joshua, Foegele or Carrier for around 2.5, we don't have enough for the defense upgrade with moving Fabbri. Leaves us about 1M short with a 20 man roster.
I think getting a solid defensive and physical bottom 6 forward is important. Acciari would actually fit that bill but ideally a bit of retention would be nice. He is positive on draws, physical and solid defensively, just getting up there in age for the style of game he plays which would be a bit worrisome.</div></div>

if foegele is 2.5M he is not leaving edmonton. he willbe 3-3.5M

Thread: LAK money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>****emo, Turcotte, Spence, Thomas will sign league minimums to play in the NHL. Let Grundstrom and Lizotte walk unless they take discounts. Sign Jeff Carter or Trevor Lewis at minimums if the Kings need vets.

From a goaltending perspective I think Stolarz or Brossoit would take under $3M to take a stab at starting. Offer Rittich $1.6M x 2. As long as goaltending is around $4M there is other areas the Kings can address.

With Roy gone, LA can have their seven defensemen ready with the signing of Spence.

Sign someone hunting a cup like Kane or Wheeler at a minimum for bolstered scoring to replace Arvidsson.</div></div>

if that all your moves are above I dont think kane or Wheeler will even look at this team. you are in a tough spot not many options. I think the PLD trade really handcuffed this team.

Thread: Another mediocre offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>One of our most important penalty killers but convenient to take those minutes out of his total, also your figure includes players with small sample sizes and largely ignores the context of our team, injuries when Benning was still playing, and what team other defenders were on before they joined our team. Stats are supposed to be a supporting tool not a main argument. It is okey to disagree about player status and hypothetical trades. But i for one hope the oilers keep as many deals like Ceci around so they dont win a cup while Evander Kane is on the team.</div></div>

most people use only 5V5 to compare players as that is the most even playing field... players are neither at an advantage or disadvantage to skew their stats...
alright lets just use stats as a supporting tool. the eye test will show you Ceci is better that is why two teams currently moved on from him and he is on a bottom 2 team. on any playoff team he would be a 7-8 depth dman that is it. the advanced stats support this as well.
