GDT: A really early weekday game against Florida(1PM)

[WSS11]

This is a very tough one to judge because while a bad goal is a bad goal, shouldn't your higher paid starter have fewer of those than your cheaper backup? Expectations (based on salary and skill) have a lot to do with how people judge the results. You can call that bias. Or you can call them different expectations based on salary and skill.

Bingo.. I don’t expect Simek to be able to make the same quality of pass as Erik Karlsson but at the same time I realize one makes 10.5MM more than the other. I also expect more from Vlasic on D than I do from say Heed based on role on the team.

Damn, Dillon breaking down after being asked about the deadline. Feels bad.

I don't think anyone wants him gone but he's a casualty of DW's bad contracts.

If we could trade Vlasic, I'd like to keep Dillon.

 

[NWSharkie]

I don't think that's entirely fair. I'd like to keep Dilly around as much as the next guy, but even without a cap crunch, the $4-4.5 million he should expect on his next contract is a lot to ask for a guy who'd be our #4D at best. With Simek and Ferraro playing as well as they have and Merkley just a couple of years out, Dillon would likely be moving on anyway.

 

[one2gamble]

I don't think simek has been very good .....

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I agree. Vlasic is better but Dillon seems more like the type of player we need, physical and emotionally invested in the team. Plus he will be much cheaper.

 

[Gunnin54]

Dillons post game interview just makes me want to keep the guy

 

[Anomie2029]

I agree. Vlasic is better but Dillon seems more like the type of player we need, physical and emotionally invested in the team. Plus he will be much cheaper.

He will be cheaper, and Vlasic's $7M for the next million years when he has already started the decline is just scary.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

I don't think simek has been very good .....

He's been much better overall the last few games. I would give him a pass for most of this season considering the injury he's coming back from. I expect he'll be much better next season.

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

So. I think we can easily say that Dell cost us this game. 2 soft goals and a terrible turnover by Burns.

yahh, he sucks. Trade him and make Martin "shutout" Jones starter.

 

[one2gamble]

yahh, he sucks. Trade him and make Martin "shutout" Jones starter.

It's funny because Jones but games like that are why Dell has never been a starter

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

Yes please!

 

[Kegsey]

That Brendan Dillon interview... Holy shit man.

 

[Alaskanice]

Tough game. Our boys fought but they just don’t have the depth of skill. It finally caught up. Though the young ‘uns are learning how to play and stay in the NHL.
Dillon has been a warrior. He’s not going to be in teal next season. That’s a bitter pill but we need the space monetarily. That’s the business.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

I agree. Vlasic is better but Dillon seems more like the type of player we need, physical and emotionally invested in the team. Plus he will be much cheaper.

Not sure I agree that Vlasic is even better at this point...

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

God damn, just saw the Dillon interview. I don't know what the solution is but as a team you gotta keep the guys that can contribute and actually want to be there. Gotta figure out a deal to ditch Vlasic and resign Simek and Dillon.

 

[stator]

Seems like he knows that was his last game at the tank in teal.

Silver lining of this loss - helps the cats push the leafs out of the playoffs and deflects attention from our terrible season

Also means Cats buy on a LHD. Guess who they just saw play a passionate game?

Heed! great, get the bags packed! (i know he's a righty)

 

[tony d]

Yeah, got to think Dillon's going to be on the move. Hope the team gets a good return for him.

Seems like he knows that was his last game at the tank in teal.

Seems like he's been playing through it, but the comment from the reporter made it reality. It appeared that moment was when it finally hit him.

Expectations (based on salary and skill) have a lot to do with how people judge the results. You can call that bias. Or you can call them different expectations based on salary and skill.

I tend to think a bad goal is a bad goal regardless at this level and the salary differences tend to be the differences in goalies to make the saves that they otherwise wouldn't be faulted for but others have different reasoning for that.
