Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: The "Well, we're waiting!!!" Edition with a sprinkle of "Don't believe his lies."

I doubt Campbell has any of the California teams on this 10 team NTC. I doubt very many players frankly put any of the Cali squads on their limited NTCs. If you have the money, California is still one of the most desired places to live in, there's a reason why Katz lives there.

Nobody is trading for Campbell right now unless you want to start adding 1sts and prospects. We are stuck with him for now.

Let the Kane situation drag on a little longer. The closer we get it TDL, the less options they have and more desperate Chicago gets.

Hopefully, Holland realizes this and trades for Kane at the right time and get him for a bargain

I'm no math whiz, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it's basically showing how often they had a certain goals versus goals expected goals per game.

Campbell's being very steep and below zero means he often allows more goals than expected while Skinner has a much more level line that peaks above zero which means he's been consistently above average and has more great games than he's had bad ones. Campbell, on the other hand, has almost no great games to make up for all the eggs he's laid.

edit: The graph in the article makes a little more sense.

Strictly speaking steepness is not always a problem. In fact, the steeper the graph the more consistent the players results are. But consistent is only good if the results are consistently positive. In this case the problem with Campbell's dotted line is as you say it skews negative and peaks high.

That's what we need! Another forward. Not like we're in need of a top four puck moving dman.
Off to the rest with Nurse and Ceci as our top pair.
Get f***ed, Ken Holland

I just posted this, he litterally loses 4k a day being in the ahl compared to nhl. That hurts.

And that's a rookie salary, think of what guys with bigger contracts would lose. Mid boggling

Guys with bigger contracts aren’t on two way deals.

Vegas is gonna swoop in and get it done.

Flames and Kraken both lost in regulation today. Take advantage of that tomorrow Oilers!

 

[SupremeTeam16]

This isn't true though. Chances against haven't changed, in fact they may even be lower since the break. The main point of regression has been Campbell.

I highly doubt that. Before the break they were making great strides in reducing shots and chances against.

Since the break they’ve given up 30+ shots in every game minus the loss to Detroit and they got absolutely shelled for around 40 in the last two games.

They’re both getting their lunch eaten by popular whipping boy Foegele

Uncle Kenny’s cap blunders continue? Campbell has suck since Jan 2022

 

[McShogun99]

If you can't defend then you might as well add more firepower and try to win 6-5.

At the end of the day it only comes down to which team scores more, in an ideal world we build a balanced team...but by deadline if our options are Edmundson or offence, I say load up

I was just in the Flames board. They sure hate Markstrom now

Oilers broke him so bad

 

[jukon]

Make '23 the year of the Russians. GMKH has had good history with Russian players, he can talk about his ole Detroit days. We already added Kostin with good success, add Barbashev and Orlov too!

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Scoring has shifted.

Its not a 3-2 league anymore, the playoffs arent 2-1 games anymore. the average SV% for starters isn't .915 anymore.

Scoring goals wins games now, not suffocating the opponents.

 

[Mikey71]

If you can't defend then you might as well add more firepower and try to win 6-5.

If Campbell is in net, we may have to go for 7-6 instead.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If the TDL passes and Holland doesn't acquire a top 4 Dman he can pack his bags.

 

[LTIR]

Provorov 27+ TOI in the downing of Flames today.

 

[Shathar]

Clearly!

... I thought this guy retired?

Well we’ve scored 4 and 5 goals the last 3 games and lost them all.

I don’t see the best teams in the league giving up 3 to 5 goals every game. Scoring is nice but you have to be able to defend, because the best teams in the league aren’t going to let you hang 4/5 goals on them most nights.

High danger chances against since the break

Detroit: 7
Philadelphia: 17 (awful)
Ottawa: 9
Montreal: 5
Detroit: 4
NYR: 6
Colorado: 6
