Salary Cap: '24-'25 Salary Thread: Crosbicles Volume MMXXV - Poolman and Poolparty?!?

Context still matters. Jarry had a 3.88 when Blomqvist was playing.

The team started playing better so Jarrys GA got a little better but his save % barely changed.

Blomqvist was better when they were both up. Let see how he does with the team playing better than last time he was with them.

Will do, I just don't expect the team to get better when they are considering depleting the roster even more.

The issue goes well beyond the goalies.

It does but Blomqvist is there best bet to win games. Doesnt mean they will but at least they are going with the best chance.

If he is in net the past two games based on his save % for the year they go to OT at least. 20 shots allowed in each game.

You can just extrapolate the stats you want and ignore the other ones.

Dubas must have pissed in Frank Seravalli's corn flakes. Dubas' moves, especially his first summer here, are open to scrutiny and criticism, but this "analysis" reads like something from a jilted lover.

Nope it is 100% accurate. The fanbase will realize how shitty of a GM he is shortly.

The team literally has to score 4 goals a game to win regularly.

Why would anyone be mad about us waiving Jarry and giving a young player a shot?

This is exactly what we said we were going to do this year.

They should be doing it with Nieto and Acciari next.

yohe getting eviscerated in the comments for pointing out that jarry never lived up to what was hoped for him, which is about as banal a take as you can have lol

Not directly related to your point but it really does feel like Jarry has been in the system for like 20 years for some reason.

 

[Ulf5]

Please Kyle (Davidson)

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Talk about reaping what you sow, as the army of yinzers devours their creator

Anyone else think Larsson should have gotten a look first? He's hot.

 

[Turin]

Yea, and he’s older so you have less time to figure out who he is.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Yea and Ponomarev should be in the NHL. It was a good trade.

You can say Dubas first offseason was ass without making stuff up to criticize him. And I still standbys the Karlsson trade, Pens didn’t lose much there and Karlsson has been good enough for it to have been a logical chance. And Reilly Smith didn’t work but they got back better value for him than they trade for him, did they not? Eller was also good. It’s just Jarry and Graves which are the two big sins. And not firing Reirden last year.

It’s honestly pretty easy to justify the Jarry contract, too. He was a two time all star within just a few years leading up to the signing. There was a larger track record of success than otherwise.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Go f*** yourself, Jarry.

 

[The Old Master]

I just hope playing behind this team doesn't screw up the kids.

why would you think that? just look at the job we did with the last bunch of young goalies.

Dubas did more damage to this organization in his first week than Hextall managed to do in 2 years, and Hextall is seen as a supervillain.

It's honestly insane how many people give Dubas a pass because he's only been here a little bit when he'll be here nearly as long as Hextall in a few months.

It’s one thing to make mistakes; every GM does. It’s another thing to constantly make the same mistake.
