NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don't really expect people to be current on every random Goalie, but Blackwood has been significantly better than Georgiev this year. Who knows how it will change, but that's an attempted upgrade.

Moneypuck has Blackwood in the upper half in the league so far in GSAE/60. Georgiev is towards the bottom of the league.

meanwhile at the Flyers office...

I got a season saver for everyone! Just sign Kubalík out of Switzerland and while Danny is at it, Jágr scored a goal yesterday after fighting whooping cough/black cough and covid since October

 

[FlyerNutter]

Avalanche would be smart to try to make a play for my boy Gibson. If Anaheim can retain a little, that would be a decent deal imo.

Dostal is the future anyway.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Blackwood is playing better so far this year, but he's coming off three subpar seasons.
Regression to the mean . . .

Yep! Completely reasonable point. I don't know that I would have paid a 2 to do it, but I'm of the opinion that Blackwood was good a long time ago and Georgiev has never been. I recognize my bias here.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Also.

Grier is doing some decent things in San Jose.

Briere might be free once he’s done serving the cornbread at the alumni dinner.

When's the last time a team traded both members of its goalie tandem in the same season?

the shitwinds are blowing Ricky...

You just never know what can happen when goalies change teams

That's a reasonable take, and Colorado is a bit desperate, with an average goalie they at least have a fighting chance.

Trades are hard.

Last good one the Flyers made?

Im trying to think honestly.

Niskanen/Gudas in 2019 was pretty even? Is that the last?

I’d still say Provorov was a good trade

Trading for Ellis.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Trading for Ellis.

yea that was tremendous value... what did we get ? 3 games out of him...

I unironically think it was a good trade, even accounting for Ellis's injury.

Even with roster degradation Colorado remains really good and they've been getting shredded by abysmal goaltending. Even getting average goaltending is gonna be an upgrade. This could be an interesting move for sure.

So, he can regress to "average" but if he goes to "below average" then they've done a lot of paperwork for nothing. And that's definitely the worry for them; he's playing above his norm. There's a lot of room for that bottom to fall out of, and one would assume not any more upside available.

Florida is another team getting pounded by their own goalies. Wonder if we can interest them in anything.

The Trouba situation reminds me a lot of what happened here with Vinny, but Vinny had a NMC so he couldn't be threatened with waivers. Hextall still managed to strongarm him into agreeing to retire with 2 years and $6,000,000 left on his deal.

Flyers trade Luke Schenn, Vinny Lecavalier to Kings

Updated: 9:35 p.m. Ron Hextall continues to defy imagination in finding ways to get rid of high cap hits no one else wants. Late Wednesday afternoon, the Flyers‘ general manager traded Vinny Lecavalier and Luke Schenn to the Los Angeles Kings for forward Jordan Weal and a third-round draft pick...

Vincent Lecavalier | 5yrs x 4.500M (UFA)

Vincent Lecavalier signed a 5 year, $22,500,000 contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Jul. 2, 2013. The contract has a cap hit of $4,500,000.

Florida has too much money committed to Bob and Knight to move on this season.
And Bob has been close to elite in the POs last two seasons, so they'll probably cross their fingers.

Florida like the one that is only a few latitudes north of the Tropic of Cancer? They know how weather works right?
