2024 25 Roster Thread 3 the Nations and after



Ersson with one of the worst seasons by a goalie in recent years by their expected goals model.

I think it was @VladDrag who pointed it out, but there is something odd about the Flyers exGA this season. Torts' system suppresses shots, but not chances. I'm not entirely sure this is reflected in the models that are saying Ersson has been this bad.

Which isn't to say he hasn't been bad, just I don't think he's been as bad as the numbers say he has.

if he is being traded..our offer will be easily beatable as we have such a piss poor farm system

Something like Edmonton's 1st + a prospect like Bump could be of interest to Minnesota. They are looking to get bigger up front apparently.

I do get the sense Rossi would get the Frost treatment here though as an undersized center.

Interestingly, Minny was one of the places I thought might try to sign York at a 2nd round offer sheet level. (The list in my head is "who has enough cap space to put a 2nd round level offer out there, a potential hole on D, and whose 2 isn't in the 30s", which basically is Minny, NYR, Detroit, and Vegas.) Maybe we add York's RFA rights to an offer for Rossi?

Minnesota has no need for D. They have Brock Faber, Jonas Brodin, Jared Spurgeon, Jacob Middleton, David Jiriceck who they traded a 1st round pick for, and Top D prospect whose very much like Brock Faber in Zeev Buium. They are going to trade Rossi in a package for another top C if they don't work out long term contract

There's a reason why Tortorella requires a HOF goalie to be a threat, and there's also a reason why despite the Tortshell and heavy emphasis on defense, those HOF goalies still get tested really hard.
 
Can someone TLDR about York? I saw the healthy scratch thing despite having only 6 defensemen... Has he been so bad? Has he pooped in the coach room? What is happening?
He was "scratched" for disciplinary reasons (verbal altercation with Torts), but since they had no extra healthy defenseman and already used all their post-trade deadline recalls, York had to dress and sit on the bench like a plebeian.

Will he stay next season? Should he? Just trying to understand the implications here and how good (bad?) he has been lately.

Tough to say without knowing the whole story, but I wouldn't blame him if he asks out. If that was the price to pay to get Torts canned, then so be it. Someone who has watched the games recently will have to chime in on his recent play. I've been pretty much checked out lately.
