You're out of your mind, Chaffee has easily been our most effective bottom 6 forward this year. If you think he's bad defensively you aren't watching.
Based on last season, I wasn't expecting much offense from him this year, so the fact that he's scored 8 goals in half a season is a pretty nice surprise. But I don't know why he's playing pp like we all of a sudden think he's a scorer.
 
No chance we make a run at Karlsson. 2 more years after this at $10M? They would need to retain 50%. He's regressed every year, he's a shell of his former self.
He's got a NMC and the Pens aren't trading him without 50% retention anyway. I am less worried about the shell of his former self as Pittsburgh is just absolute shit from top to bottom and everyone seems know it but them.

I don't want him but I think the Lightning might

I'd much rather them go for someone like Oleksiak if Seattle is willing to play ball. Getting another huge body who can play both left and right side.

I originally wanted Kreider but each passing game has me more and more worried about player handedness than I ever thought I should be. We have one right handed 1 timer option for the PP and it's Point -and he's gotta live in the slot

Even at 50% I think I'll pass.
His DFF% is 40.8 and is DFF%RC is -14.70. There have been way more dangerous shot attempts against than for when he is on the ice, especially relative to his teammates

Only reason I can think is he's right handed.
you're 100% correct, but it's a bad reason. Coop has said some good things about his shot, and he scored a nifty goal against Detroit the other night, but not everyone in this league can play the bumper like Point can. Obviously more goes into it than having a decent release.

His PDO is 104.5%, our goalie save percentage with him on the ice is .930. I'll take real save % over implied danger chances against, one of the reasons corsi and fenwick can be BS.

We definitely need a better option
 
Bro Pat Maroon looks like Fat Mac in Always Sunny. God I miss that tank
He only needs to wait it out a little longer in Chicago before a playoff team comes calling. Might be the last run for him if he gets that chance.

And speaking of last chance, I'm still waiting to see what happens with Tyler Johnson. He might not get that phone call.
