Players who are low key cooked

[LeafsNation149]

Max Domi

 

[Captain Controversy]

Danault, Malkin, Giroux, Demko

How are the kings still so good with him as their 2c

His defense is still pretty good. His offense has completely withered.

 

[Avs2022]

Rantanen

**edit. I posted this 12 hours or so before the trade news broke.

If we're being honest, something like 90 percent of threads on HF are low calorie trash, but this thread legitimately taught me how far Danault has fallen this year. He was so good for several years there, but I haven't caught nearly as many Kings games this year as usual. Good to know.

No one on the jets is cooked right now except Perfetti and he's like 20 so I dunno.

Speaking of low key. Low key Jets brag post.

 

[12ozPapa]

Give me your high key cooked players too! Also, medium key cooked.

Low key it's a big part of the difference between top and mid. When jets had lots of dead weight and cooked players from 2011 - 2017 they weren't good. A 47 year old Olli Yokinen was their 2c at some point I prefer not to remember.

Tarasenko but that was known

Petry but that was known

Holl came pre cooked

Kane was about to be placed into the oven but the in laws must of shown up late so there may be a delay on that

Sure, but the thread isn't about not cooked players. Just seems like a brag.

Brent Burns has fallen off hard this season, which sucks because he has a legit shot at the ironman record.

Just curious as I don't follow Carolina too often, could Burns recover if he played like bottom pair (if he isn't there already) or do you think he'd outright refuse to move down the lineup?

 

[TheSuperElite]

Demko

 

[BobCole]

Hate to say this, but Geno is really on his last legs. He still shows flashes of brilliance, especially after layoffs, but his body doesn't seem up to the challenge of an 82-game schedule anymore.

He probably just needs less ice time. He’s averaging 21:30 this year as Slavin’s partner on the top pair. He doesn’t have the footspeed for that anymore and he looks gassed a lot of the time. If he were playing lower, more sheltered minutes then yeah he would probably keep up with the pace of play a little better.

As to whether he’d accept the demotion… I have a hard time imagining him being delusional or insubordinate, so it probably wouldn’t be an issue? But you never know.

Is Orlov still able to play those minutes? He seems like the natural place to shed that ice time from Burns (but I may be a biased Caps fan, for whom his peak is evergreen).

Good to know, I always liked Burns even when he was ripping up the Pacific on those regular-season juggernaut Sharks teams. Hope he does make it to the ironman record with reduced but effective minutes - it always bothered me a little when teams are willing to drag out a player's ironman streak at the cost of team success.

Is there a viable option for Slavin to play with? Can Chatfield or someone else keep up?

Dumped the last of my Taylor Hall stock so Bedard optimists last year.

To clarify, I still think Bedard will be a superstar player. Hall is just ready to be seared on the grill soon.

 

[S1N4TR4]

David Perron

legit forgot he was still in the league until I saw news he was returning recently

 

[S1N4TR4]

james van riemsdyk is the opposite of ‘cooked’ …

11 points last 11 games with the jackets.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

RNH, sadly. He’s still a special teams witch but 5v5 he’s getting out scored by dudes like Podkolzin and Connor Brown.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Tarasenko. His legs or hips are very much shot and it's affecting a lot. Mainly his movement, and how quick he gets off his shot release... He's not remotely the shooting threat he used to be

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is on pace for his lowest points/60 of his career. It's basically at the rate of a 4th liner. Glued to McDavid and the top line offense is exclusively run through Hyman and McDavid

hilarious thread.
you're talking about guys with 5 or 10 million in the bank, and a deep desire to chill and enjoy living. And a body that's been smashed against end boards once too often. And a bottle in the locker.
And a bar they'd sooo love to sit in for a half year. Cooked is the right word.
Hats off to cooked players. my favorite.

 

[MattMartin]

Pretty much the whole Islanders team.
