Look at Novak’s hit totals lol. You gotta go out of your way to hit that little. I’m sure he’s an effective player but that + he also blows on faceoffs.

It's not just the lack of hits, it's a severe allergy to any kind of contact/board battles. There may be softer players in the NHL but there can't be very many. We all know how much Sully loathes "toughness" (good thing Schenn isn't any tougher than Desharnais, who was a joke here) but this is taking it a bit far.

Freidman on the intermission report just briefly hit on Karlsson - said most likely after the signing bonus is paid this off-season is when it's more likely that he would be moved.

This guy’s whole career is just weird. First of all I thought he was Czech but he’s from Minnesota, just a Czech name. But his college and AHL stats look like a d-man’s, then he suddenly figures out where the net is as an NHL rookie? What the hell.

I also think it should be pointed out how atrocious Bunting has become at 5v5 at this point. His overall stat line for this year was decent, with him playing at essentially a 20 goal, 40 point pace (14 goals and 29 points in 58 games). However, he only had 5 goals and 13 points at 5v5 this year despite playing about 60% of his 5v5 ice time with Crosby or Malkin this year.

He had essentially the same 5v5 statline that O'Connor had for the Penguins, who had 4 goals and 13 points in 53 games for the Penguins. His 5v5 points/60 of 1.07 is less than Glass' 1.17. He was a completely useless player for the Penguins at 5v5 this year, he really devolved into a PP specialist.

Another thing about Bunting is the refs obviously hate him. He could get a stick shoved into his mouth and they’d call him for holding.

Watch Mikey Bunts come back and go on a tear now that he's not stuck under Sullivan.

Yeah I figured Schenn wasn't going to be here long, that he'd be moved and I think Dubas could retain just to get a better pick or prospect. He has 2 slots back this summer to move anyone he wants to later on.
