I'm waiting for Harkins to be placed on waivers and Sully scooping him up.There's still some PTO candidates out there.

Don't threaten me with a bad time mate.I'm waiting for Harkins to be placed on waivers and Sully scooping him up.
I wouldn't call Ludvig garbage. He was good for us until his injury. As far as depth dmen go, a depth chart of: JSI, Aho, Ludvig, Shea, and Kral isn't half bad. Certainly better than yesteryear.Don't threaten me with a bad time mate.
This isn't a team that should be giving anyone a f***ing PTO though, so much garbage already on the roster in Hayes, Ludvig, Acciari, Bemstrom, Sullivan, Dubas, Nieto, etc.
No he was shit, I think a lot of blokes here were somehow disillusioned into think Mr Knock-Myself-The-f***-Out Ludvig was anything special. He's a 9th defenseman on this team maybe even lower. I would rank Shea and St Ivany above him and also Aho.I wouldn't call Ludvig garbage. He was good for us until his injury.

Hey now, we do have a dearth of bottom 6ers!I haven't had time to see who played for Boston U or the Soo Greyhounds, or maybe both!
Crap, Kevin Shattenkirk is a Terrier.
Nick Cousins played for the Greyhounds.
I think you're being a bit harsh on him, honestly. I mean, yeah, he's a bottom pairing dman but he fills that role decently well at a cheap cost. Hard to ask for more. Could be Rudwedel.No he was shit, I think a lot of blokes here were somehow disillusioned into think Mr Knock-Myself-The-f***-Out Ludvig was anything special.

This is not the team to be a recovering alcoholic on.Would've been cool to give Vrana a PTO but he went back to a place he knows for that. Can't blame him. But also doesn't mean we can't sign him.
Ok that was a good one.This is not the team to be a recovering alcoholic on.
The Pens were ass defensively last year and he wasn't that great. I think some might have felt he was better than he was based on the situation and surroundings but his play as a whole was not worth carrying him on the main roster even as a 7th. I see him as wbs depth and on the depth chart he's below St Ivany, Aho, and Shea.I think you're being a bit harsh on him, honestly.

And yeah, my list wasn't "in order" or anything. I really liked Shea and JSI did great, so I have both above him as well. Aho, TBD.
This isn't a team to be on if you have any mental health or substance abuse issues whether it's drugs or alcohol. Because this dipshit coaching staff will definitely make all of those vices enticing to cope with their stupidity and that's after the mental health breakdowns that are definitely going to reoccur.This is not the team to be a recovering alcoholic on.
For what roster spot mate? You also forget our coach is an ignorant twat. He'd put Vrana in the protocol within the first month.Would've been cool to give Vrana a PTO but he went back to a place he knows for that. Can't blame him. But also doesn't mean we can't sign him.
Of note is also ice time. When he got 35 points, he averaged 14:46. Gifted a lot of minutes at 5v5 he didn't really deserve.I want to be optimistic about Glass not being worthless here but in his career he has averaged 62% OZ starts. Sullivan is going to give him 55-65% DZ starts instead and then act shocked when the guy has like 6 points in 50 games.
Perhaps it's the eternal moronic optimist in me but I have this strange feeling that this team is going to exceed expectations and grab the last playoff spot in the Metro this year.
I just expect the bottom six plus powerplay to be better and I think that might be enough to get them in.
Feel free to quote this in November when we're 8 games out and Dubas is talking about how much he believes in Sully still
The Hockey Guy just ranked the top 12 coaches in the NHL and Sullivan wasn’t on it lol…so much for FSG and Dubas singing his praises…
If Glass only pots 6pts in 50gp, it won't be because of zone starts. Zone starts are a worthless stat to measure performance.I want to be optimistic about Glass not being worthless here but in his career he has averaged 62% OZ starts.

I can see it. A lot of rosters have holes. It will be a tight race. We’ll get stomped in the playoffs probably but I don’t think it’s crazy to see them make it. I mean half the league makes it.Perhaps it's the eternal moronic optimist in me but I have this strange feeling that this team is going to exceed expectations and grab the last playoff spot in the Metro this year.

There's things that are gonna get worse too, not just improvements or encores.Perhaps it's the eternal moronic optimist in me but I have this strange feeling that this team is going to exceed expectations and grab the last playoff spot in the Metro this year.

sully has shown that (at times) he can get the b team to out preform the a team.Perhaps it's the eternal moronic optimist in me but I have this strange feeling that this team is going to exceed expectations and grab the last playoff spot in the Metro this year.

Well that’s not true at all. Not only does it give you a good sense of usage, it’s definitely easier if you start closer to the goal.If Glass only pots 6pts in 50gp, it won't be because of zone starts. Zone starts are a worthless stat to measure performance.
Getting more O-zone starts frequently leads to more points.If Glass only pots 6pts in 50gp, it won't be because of zone starts. Zone starts are a worthless stat to measure performance.
You'd think even Sully could only suppress that so much lolI mean the shooting percentage has to level out eventually right?
Oh sure. It's very easy to see us being as bad or worse and I wouldn't argue with anyone making that take. How could I?There's things that are gonna get worse too, not just improvements or encores.
The best way to assess this is to make a Venn diagram for what get better, stays the same or declines.
