Thread: tij iginla and marksrtom trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Maybe my numbers here are wrong, but on Moneypuck I see Markstrom as 9th. Is this all situations?

And although GSVx is typically a great indicator of how well the goaltender has done, can you name a Vezina finalist who has had a below a .910SV%. Like Jusse Saros would be the best comparable with the highest GSAx and 4th in Vezina voting last season, but he also had a .919 SV% and 2.69GAA.

I'll eat crow if Markstrom gets a single Vezina vote, but that's a bold statement in my opinion and an interesting hill to die on.</div></div>

Lets clarify something. Hellebuyck and Demko are going to be #1 and #2 in Vezina voting. After that it will be something like Oettinger or Shesterkin simply due to to the teams success. But Markstrom has had for the most part an excellent season and will absolutely get Vezina votes. Not a finalist but probably 5th to 7th in voting.

Money Puck and Evolving Hockey use 2 different methods for xG. Evolving Hockey uses Fenwick (includes missed shots) as it's base and Money Puck only uses Shots on Goal. Until about the last month of the season Markstrom was ~4th on MP and 2nd on EH. The TDL rumours along with the complete downgrade of defensive play in front of him tanked his numbers quite a lot

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>I think we were gifted Byfield somewhat slumping to the end of the season in regards to his contract, but Gavrikov's game has made me incredibly worried about moving forward without Roy. If Roy walks we will need to get not only a shutdown defenseman, but better defensive forwards to offset his loss.

If Arvidsson returns under such a contract, I am totally ok with most of the Kings forward group, and Arvy does seem happy here, but he is also 31. Trying to be an unbiased fan, he should be chasing his 3-4 year most guaranteed money contract with his injury history. But if he gifts us that type of contract, I would be over the moon.</div></div>

I have suggested this very thought process.
But the thing that really kills it, is LA cap is so tight. They probably spend the money on Roy if they can get him in.
If Roy is out the door than bringing in smith isn't an issue.
It's probably easier for both teams to give the 4th to a team like AZ to retain 50% that way both teams get max benefit from the deal.
2.5 for 1 year, shouldn't cost more than a 4th.

No chance in this world, that LA is going to retain a total of $17,500,000 over 7 years for dumping PLD. They better give him the chance for a full season to play with to solid wingers (this season he mainly played with Anderson-Dolan and Laferriere). Anderson-Dolan, sorry to say, was not really NHL level and Laferriere did not have a bad season, but his first NHL year. So it's a tough line to start to play with in your first year with a new team.
Of course PLD performed well under expactations, but this needs to be considered. If PLD can play a full season with a guy like Arvidsson and another solid winger, I am sure his numbers will look different next year, even when he centers the 3rd line.
Kings shoud have also no interest in the package, especially not in Davorak and Primeau. I find it interesting that you don't believe in Primeau. How then could he improve a contending team?
Also: You would offer Cam Talbot §3,500,000 for two years? I mean he's great this season (and gladly healthy) but don't forget that he's turning 38 before the next season starts.
