Vegas blowing $4.9m on an absolute nobody because he had a few good games.

You knew it would happen, but they won the cup so it’s like whatever now, lol

 

[B17 Apricots]

He has not had a good year in 5 years unless you want to count 21-22 where he scored a lot because he shot 22% (career average 11%) and had a lot of points on the PP which is not relevant since he would not be PP1 here. 18-19 is his only season since 2016 where he scored at a strong 2nd line level at 5v5. He also absolutely never shoots so he would be a terrible fit on a line with Panarin.

Yes, we will not count last season because he had a good year... and yet his 5v5/EV would've put him in the top 6 here. This shouldn't have even warranted a response from me.

Georgiev finishing higher in the Vezina than Shesty.
While it was 3 points to 2, and I assume both player's points came from their own GM; it is pretty funny

If you want to determine future performance based off a 22% sh% season by all means I wish you the best of luck

Fox coming in second for the best Defenseman award to a guy who has never played a shift of defense in his career is hilarious.

 

[mike14]

Congrats to Fox. Clear 2nd in the Norris. 3 x top-5 finishes in a 4 year career.

196 people voting on the Norris seems excessive

 

[mike14]

ALL-Star team voting:
Mika ties with Matthews for 6th best center in the league
Panarin the 2nd best LW in the league
Fox the 2nd best d-man in the league
Igor 8th for goalies

 

[UnSandvich]

Today at 6:57 PM

Hart: McDavid
Lindsay: McDavid
Norris: Karlsson (even if Fox has a good argument for it. Makar just didn't play enough games and tbh shouldn't have been a finalist over Heiskanen)
Vezina: Ullmark
Calder: Beniers
Adams: Montgomery
Selke: Bergeron
Byng: Kopitar
Gregory: Zito
Masterton: Letang

Messier: No idea

Igor 8th for goalies

Feel vindicated by the Panarin vote
Surprised by the Mika one
And WTF 7 better goalies than Igor???

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Panarin wins a regular season award after getting trashed for no showing in the playoffs

Jovo- VINDICATED!!!

 

[cwede]

[Leonardo87]

what is Philly doing?

 

[will1066]

what is Philly doing?

Better question is what is St Louis doing?

 

[LOFIN]

Better question is what is St Louis doing?

Taking a cheap flyer in a quick re-tool. Vrana and Hayes are pretty solid business from them.

 

[Gardner McKay]

If the reports are true, oh my god did the kings get hosed in that deal for PLD.

He's not really cheap at all. Still a couple years to go on that $7M contract with a NTC. I don't think he's lived up to the contract so far.

Edit -- Philly is retaining 50%

 

[LOFIN]

It's not 7m, it's 50% retained by Philly. So 3,6.

50% retention so its 3.5whatever.

Hayes is a steal at that price and I'm not even that high on what Hayes is right now.

Good. f*** the Kings.

 

[NYR94]

What is the trade? I heard Vilardi and Iafallo last week.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That plus Kupari.

May be more going back from Winnipeg for all we know but yikes.

Viliardi and Iafallo are good players.
